2nd Anniversary

Well, we made it. We have officially been married for 2 years and I could not be happier!! The weekend before our anniversary we headed up to Park City to spend the night at the Cabin. We went shopping, and four wheeling, and had a nice dinner at Loco Lizard. It was fun just to get away and spend some time together.

After the cabin we headed down to my parents house and had a family dinner with my parents and Jenny and Jon, it was fun just to hang out and be around my family. Then Sunday night Nate and my Dad gave me a blessing. It was so nice and brought a lot of peace and calmed my anxiety significantly. I am so grateful to have a husband and a father who are worthy priesthood holders!! I am so blessed to be able to receive blessings when I am struggling.

Monday morning we woke up and started to get ready to go to the hospital. Our minds were both busy thinking about the upcoming surgery that we almost completely forgot that it was our anniversary. Luckily we remembered though and wished each other a happy 2nd!! Then we headed off to the hospital. Everything went well with the surgery, and we were able to spend our anniversary night together, me in the hospital bed and Nate in the lay down couch. Not the most romantic anniversary, but I was grateful that we could be together.

Recovery is going well, I am still pretty sore, but should be back to normal in no time.

Thank you everyone for your love and support. It means a lot to both of us that you kept me in your prayers. We are so grateful to have Family and Friends that care so much about us!!

I hope you enjoy the pics. Much love, Peace.

oh and I almost forgot the most exciting news, we got a new NEPHEW!! We would Like to welcome Joshua Douglas Cotti to the family, WE CANT WAIT TO MEET HIM!!

Anniversary Date :)

4th of July weekend

This past weekend Nate and I drove up to Salt Lake to spend time with family and friends. Friday night we went to fireworks with Amy and Phil and their family. It was good to see them and their new baby is so adorable, I am so happy for them!!! I also ran into some other old friends at the fireworks and it was so good to see everyone. Then Saturday we had a party for my brother Rod, he is going to Iraq soon so we all spent the day together and had dinner. It was fun to see all of my family (we missed you Geoff, Morgan and Mel). Then Sunday we woke up early and said by to Rod. Good Luck, we love you and you will be in our prayers.
All in all it was a great weekend. Its always nice to see my family since I dont get to see them very much. I hope you enjoy the pics. Much love, peace

Lots of Randomness

It has been a long time since I have posted so here is what the Buys have been up to.

Nate and I are still just working and going to school. I am really excited though because Nate is getting a day job. It will be Mon-Fri so I will actually see him now. I CANT WAIT until he starts it. It will be so nice to be home together every night!!

Nate and I also headed up North at the end of April for some Motor Cross Races. Nate's friends from Idaho were going so we went with them and it was actually a lot of fun, FREEZING, but fun. The same weekend that we went up happened to be the weekend of Amy's baby shower so I was able to go to that. It was so good to see her and catch up with old friends.

Nate and I were also able to Hang out with Randi, James, and there kids while they lived down here. It was good to catch up with her and get to know James. We MISS you guys already!!!

Nate also has started playing in an Adult Baseball league, they play every Saturday and so far he is loving it. And I enjoy going and watching him play.

This last week Mindy was able to come down and visit. It was a lot of fun to see her and catch up. We spent the weekend at Zions and Vegas and just catching up. Thanks for coming down Mindy.

Well, I figure this is enough random catching up for now, so enjoy the pics. Much love, Peace

ZIONS

Nate had his interview on Friday, It went really well and we are just waiting to hear back. Unfortunately the program will not start until Fall semester so we will not find out until May if he is accepted, but we are both very hopeful. The program is new at Dixie so there are not a lot of applicants, so were very optimistic!!!

Friday night Nate had off and I wanted to do something fun since we have been cooped up in the house lately with my foot. We got a great deal at Zions Park Inn and the weather has been really nice so after I got off work we drove up to Zions. Obliviously I couldn't do a lot of hiking with my boot, so we just went on some flat trails and enjoyed the Beautiful surroundings. We have both been to Zions numerous times, but it was our first time going together (which is kind of sad since we live in St. George) so it was a lot of fun. We bought an annual park pass, so when I get my boot off were planning on going hiking a lot.

On another note Nate turned 25 and for his birthday he really wanted to get a Tortoise. So we have a new addition to our house hold, his name is Tiny(or we think its a him). We got him on Wednesday and he is so adorable. He is a Leopard tortoise and his full grown size can get up to 24 inches but they normally stay around 18 and it will take years and years for him to get that big. Everyone keeps on asking us why a tortoise? And its because that's what Nate wanted, and he is not loud, or stinky, he wont shed, and they can be really personable, and plus he is just really cute. There are lots of pictures this time so I hope you enjoy. Much Love, Peace!!

Interview

Nate interviews for the Respiratory Therapy program tomorrow, So please keep him in your thoughts and prayers. :)

Valentines Day!!!

Nate had to work on Valentines day, so the Friday before we spent the day together. I just wanted to get out of the house and do something fun. So we went shooting Friday afternoon, I was still on crutches so we brought a chair so I could sit down and shoot. Probably not the best Idea to go shooting on crutches but I had a lot of fun!!! It was nice to finally get out of the house and do something together. Then that night we just went out to dinner. It was nice just to spend some time together.

On another note, my foot is healing really well. I have been walking on it for about a week now and I return to work on the 25th. I still have to wear the boot for probably 4-5 more weeks which means I cant drive for that amount of time either. So my husband gets to be my taxi cab driver!!! He has been so good to me, and I am so grateful I have some one like him in my life!! He never ceases to amaze me. I love him so much and am so grateful we get to spend eternity with each other. I hope you enjoy the pics. Much love, Peace.




Me and my Hubby!!!



Being bums around the house

I still love em

So they lost 32 to 25, but it was so much fun!!! Its one of the funnest experiences Nate and I have had. We drove down to Glendale, AZ on Saturday and went to eat. Then on the block where our hotel was they were having a huge street fair. They had hot air balloons lining the streets and tons of booths and etc. Then Sunday we woke up and drove to the stadium and walked around. There were so many people. And surprisingly a lot of Philly fans. There were helicopters everywhere and a huge tv for fans to watch the game. The stadium there is so nice!!! Jordan Sparks sang the national anthem, and they displayed a huge American flag. The Eagles played horrible in the first half, but then in the 2nd half they scored 19 unanswered points to take the lead. I really thought they were going to win, but then Arizona scored and we couldnt move the ball down the field. It came down to the wire though and was so much fun. Thats been on my list of things I want to do in my lifetime is go to an Eagles game, so to be able to go see them play in the NFC championship was so AMAZING!!! I still want to see a game in Philly tho. (maybe one day) I hope you enjoy the pics. Much love, Peace
