Favorite and Least Favorite "Firsts"

My least favorite "firsts"

~The first time I failed a test.

~The first time I a saw a patient die.

My FAVORITE "firsts"

~The first time I bought a CD. I was so stoked for the Free Willy soundtrack
~The first time I went on a "real" date with Nathan. Mmmm Sweenys!
~The first time I realized I wanted to marry Nathan. Good thing he wanted to marry me too
~The first time I worked at Kanakuk. Working in the kitchen was a BLAST.
~The first time I tried ice cream. I don't really remember this, but I'm sure it was amazing.
~The first time I got my ears pierced. I was soooo excited!
~The first time I heard Nathan tell me that he loves me. Immediately after this "first," he proposed!
~The first time I got a bridal magazine. I waited to do this until I got engaged.
~The first time I learned a complete song on the guitar.
~The first time I got a pair of Dr. Martin shoes. Those were so cool back in the day.
~The first time I made a coffee drink when working at Solid Grounds.

~The first time I tried on "THE" dress. The wedding dress, that is. It was perfect!
~The first time I wrote a song on the piano.
~The first time I went on a date with my dad. This was in 5th grade. We went to dinner and then saw Father of the Bride part Two.
~The first time I went snowboarding with Nathan. He was such a quick learner!
~The first time I married my best friend. And the only time of course! But this is probably my all-time favorite "first!"

A busy summer...

It's true...I stink at blogging. But truth be told, I've been very busy lately. And another truth be told, things will still be busy until about mid June. My hubbie and I are leaving on Thursday morning to head down to Durango, Colorado...one of our favorite places. (It is where we met after all!) I will be playing the roll of kamp nurse while we are down there. From there we will go to Phoenix, Arizona, where Stephen, (the oldest of my younger brothers) will be getting hitched to the love of his life. After that, Nathan will be heading back to Denver for just one night before he road trips out to Illinois for a class, as I head back to kamp for another 9 days or so of kamp nursing. And no, it doesn't end there. We will both be home back in Littleton around June 7th, at which point we will have 5 days at home before we road trip out to Moab, Utah for another wedding. After the wedding we will hang around to do some climbing/bouldering/canyoneering in Moab. And theeeen, we will be home for a little bit. But probably not too long. we'll have to see.

And while we are home, we will be focusing on our house... the priorities right now include:
1) landscaping/gardening (LOTS to do here...weed pulling, bush pulling, planting, etc.)
2) getting a new driveway...ours is in need of a makeover
3) finish furnishing our front room (long overdue...if you have some cute reading chairs you'd like to give us let me know!)
4) ripping out our deck (or you can call it a slab of wood...that might be more appropriate) and replacing it with a trex deck.

Well there you go... a blog to show you how busy we will be, and therefore excusing me for not blogging as much. =)

We'll put pics up of our house updates as they come!
