What I short but great first summer together!!!

So I know this is like super late, but here it is anyways. Me and Nick did summer school and did great, I didn't really get any pictures of that which I wish I had but it went really good, both of us pulled off A's in all of our classes which means... 4.0's for both of us that semester. WooHoo! Here are a couple of things that we did during the summer.

Nicks old canoe that we took out sailing, 

 

We arrived at the river and started to put the canoe together.

The mosquitos were horrible, as you can see Brady nose and eyes are barely sticking out.

This is the boys trying to make sure their hand made sail would work. It was the second time we went sailing that Brady so kindly sunk us five times and mind I say one of those times was in this grassy little island that they thought if they went fast enought they would make it through...we didn't and I was in front while the spiders from the spider infested island were crawling all over me and I was bawling. Ha see if I go with Brady again lol.

Our trip to the doctors for my legs in Provo. Nick not wanting me to take a picture.

Two beautiful rainbows on a very rainy day.

Me and Nick being goofs.

Me and Nicks cute Saturday date. We went fourwheeling and spent some time with Grandma Johnson, and then went to the Manti pagent. We love fourwheeling.

My first time going to the pagent, so much fun, and very well done.

At the pagent, waiting about two hours...we thought we wouldn't have a seat.

Rained so much it was flooding the sidewalks.

Fourth of July weekend. Nick talking Emery and Kaven around the back yard. He is going to be a good daddy someday.

My cute niece and nephew, Emery and Kaven.

Cute little Kaven just chilling the the front yard.

Nick taking his brother Tim on a fun little ride. He also took me and I was very scared because I thought we were going to tip over.

Watching Paula sing in the program.

Kaven trying to grab the camera, such a cute little guy.

Emery with her sparkler, the kids loved these.

Our little firework show, the neighbors were so excited!

Me and Kaven sitting waiting for the parade to start.

Nick with the kids.

The jets that pass over before the parade starts, so cool.

Nick and his best friend Sam. We went to the derby for the fourth of July.

At the Derby, so much fun. Last time you will see those glasses, they broke later that night, my favorite pair.

I caught this picture just in time, everyone thought this was awsome and I like the guys fist perfect emotion.

Nick cooking our stakes, which were not too bad.

My attempt at making something good.

Our room, small but cosy.

Our very small kitchen, very cute and homey.

Nick doing the dishes, he is such a good husband.

Our small food supply, you got to love being in college and married. By the way that food did not last too long after this picture. I didn't know how much Nick ate.

Our big living room. That picture of the Manti Temple was given to us by Nick's old roommate and it is all dots.

The Johnson sign was given to us by Nick's cousin Demry, she is very good, all of the letters are pictures from the farm and around Grandmas house. 

Those frames still dont have pictures in them...havn't even looked at pictures to fill them with...guilty.

My lovely shelves of cute things.

YUCK!!!! Me Nick and Brady were driving and went right over this spider, when we recognized that it was a triantula( if thats how you spell it) we turned around and Brady got out to take a picture. So gross, I hate spiders.

Spending some time with Nicks oldest brother Brett and Jennie and their cute kids Sadie and Trace. I love and miss them.

Sadie.

So trace.

We went to the man made beach in Sanish Fork. We had a lot of fun, Nick and Brady did not catch anything, Brady well lets just say the lake caught him, I will not say more than that.

BEAR LAKE 2011 

Nick sitting in the boat.

My little brother Nathan, getting ready to get out on the water and show us his tricks.

Nick out on the wakeboard, I think this was right before he face planted it bad. What a handsome man I have.

Honeymooners!!!

Las Vegas here we come! We first went to Las Vegas on our way to California. Driving threre was long, we were a little over halfway there and I looked at the gas tank and it was almost empty so I say to Nick that we should probably stop and get some gas, but he said " I think that we can make it" so I didnt worry about it until we see the light go off saying we are empty, now we really start to look for stops with any gas station, but no luck, we decide to get off on the next exit thinking that maybe we woulod be able to find something; twenty min. later we find something, just in time, definetly luck. Now were on our way, when we get to the hotel in Las Vegas and get out of the car, its sooo hot and humid, not exactly what I was expecting, but we didn't do much, just walk the strip and look around, the next day we would be driving to California. Getting out of Las Vegas was a nightmare, the traffic was horrible and people were just rude. But when we finally got to California we were able to relax and have fun. When we were there we spent some time at the beach, we went to Disneyland, and drove around to see some things. We just had the best time there and enjoyed ourselves a lot.

                                      

Right before we left for Vegas, so excited to drive together as a married couple.

The Apartment/hotel room that we stayed in while we were in California.

The beach later at night, we tried to catch the sunset, I guess it sets faster there.

Our time at Disneyland, the lady was very nice to take our picture for us.

Going into California Adventures, very pretty.

Another newlywed couple took our photo and we took theirs. Mickey ferris wheel in the back, doesn't look that scary, but it sure was.

Ah, my favorite ride. All I have to say is, if you have not gone on it yet, GO!! find out for yourself how fun it is. I'm not kidding.

Princess land in the background, Nick didn't want to go, so I said we at least need a picture.

Were having fun before we enter the world most horrible ride ever!!

Some janitor guy decided to amuse the croud and look at what a good artist he is, its goofy!

Our beach trip. We spent a day at the beach, looks warm; totally is not! But we had fun laying in the sun and chasing  seagulls away from our chips, and making a sand castle.

our love will last for eternity!!

5-6-11 The best day of my life

The start of a new journey, has finally begun.  This day is the day that I married my best friend, and the day that will make me happy for eternity.
After finals on the thursday the week before our wedding, I was so stressed, we had to clean the whole apartment and not just a simple clean, but a deep clean that made it very hard to do while thinking of the wedding and thinking about how I was going to make it to my 4 o'clock appointment for my dress fitting. Nick being the wonderful man that he is saw how stressed I was and immediately took over and started to help me clean. When we were done and had both went home, that started the, what seemed like a very very long week. Within that week we had my bridal shower, bridal pictures taken, and lots of shopping.  I know doesnt sound like a lot but it totally was a lot of work.  The following thrursday, the day before the wedding, my dad, me, and my grandparents from Florida went down to Manti where me and Nick finally were able to see eachother again. I was so excited for 5 o'clock to come, because then I could go through the temple for the first time, and definetly not the last. I was going to be marrying my best friend, what could be better than that.  Going throgh the temple was the most amazing experience i've ever felt in my life next to marrying Nick. I felt wonderful, I felt whole, I'm now with the person i'm going to spend eternity with, it was amazing. After taking pictures outside the temple we went to a luncheon that Alan and Paula set up, which happened to have great food.  Driving back to Salt Lake for the reception was a very long drive, but at the same time it felt so rushed, see we had to be there for pictures. What a terribly long time, I felt like we were taking pictures for a week then we were late getting to the reception, with a huge line of people waiting. It did not go like i'd planned, the DJ didn't have our song, and picked one out for us, by the way I cant remember it, and the music was loud, and the song I danced with my dad wasn't the song I wanted.  But although all those things had went wrong the only thing that mattered was that I was spending those moments with Nick. Then it was time to leave, thanks to a good friend we got the hotel for free and had the best day of our lives.

Holy Cow...3 more days??

I can't even believe how fast this has gone by, it feels like we just got engaged and now were getting married in three days!! I guess time flys when your having fun, or should I say when you have so much to do. 

 In three days i'm going to marry my best friend, my eternal companion. I'm excited, and happy and can't wait for our life to start.  Nick is so sweet to me and I feel like the luckiest girl in the world to have him. He has such a wonderful family and I just can't wait to marry them too. I love them all!!  Nick is so special to me, he makes me feel like a princess and and just love him so much.  Being married is going to be so wonderful, I know there will be hard times, but I know that if we do what the Lord asks us to do, our marriage should never fail, I can't wait to go into that beautiful Manti Temple and recieve those great blessings and to be one step closer to a Celestial life.  This gospel is so wonderful, and i'm so blessed to be a part of it.  I'm so glad that my dad is going to be able to make it to the temple, and all the other family that is going to be there for us. 

We have recieved many gifts already, for the wedding and I'm beginning to come to the conclusion that there are a lot of people who care and love us, and i'm so happy to have so many people who love us, i'm so appriciative of that. 

Everything is pretty much done for the wedding, I have my dress, I've taken my bridals, even though my hair is not the color I want it, I still like it, and to tell you the truth it's growing on me.  Everything is done for the reception, and the only thing left is my nails :) Two more days and I get to be in one of the most beautiful Temples in the world, and I can actually go in othere parts:)

Nick is my best friend, I don't know what I would do without him. He takes care of me and you can just tell how much he loves me. He makes me laugh, even when i'm feeling sad, and he just knows how to cheer me up.  I can't wait to go to California with him, and spend some time at the beach, were so excited to get away from Utah's crazy weather.

We have an apartment!!! yay, I finally called the place back again, after the what seemed like the millionth time, and she said someone cancelled, and it's ours:) So this is just all exciting for me, and I can't wait to more in, which will be later on this month:) yay us! This place has nothing but a fridge and oven, so if anyone knows if someone is throwing or giving aways tables, chairs, couches, Tv stands, PLEASE let me know, we need them!!

Yay i'm SO EXCITED!!!
