Six Months.

 Today marks 6 wonderful months of being married to Tyler!

Happy 6 months T!

Love you!

The Taco Amigo Virgin.

I grew up completely loving food from Taco Amigo and ate it VERY frequently...after all, back in the day, where else could you eat when you were in Pleasant Grove? I love it to this day and still go there way too frequently. I go there so frequently that I'm pretty sure I could safely know what to order for all immediate family as well as several of my cousins and my aunt. My husband however, has NEVER joined me. #1- He doesn't like anything with beans so it's not like I'm going to suggest us eat there. #2- He told me that he doesn't like it. Well, last night we had to go to Lehi and Tyler was starving so before going home, we decided to grab food...strangely, and shockingly, this is where he decided we should eat. As we pull up he tells me he has NEVER had their food. I was completely shocked and upset. I couldn't believe it. I have known him for how long and he's never had Taco Amigo. I told him he was a liar, because he had told me that he didn't like it, but he really couldn't say that if he'd never tried it. Turns out he has had a caramel oreo shake from there and said that it was pretty good, but never did eat their food. I'm still pretty upset that I went all this time not knowing he hadn't had a REAL Taco Amigo experience, but I am glad he finally had one. Obviously he didn't get anything with beans but did approve of their burgers and shut down there Chicken Burrito, but good news is he did say, he would be willing to eat there again. I'm so glad he finally tried it and is no longer a Taco Amigo virgin.

Words from Tyler.

One of the VERY BEST things about Tyler is how funny he is.
I know I have shared this fact many times before, but I am sharing it again, just with a new reason :)

One of things that makes Tyler so darn funny is all the funny words he makes up or the funny things he renames. Last Saturday we went out to dinner and to a movie with Jaynee and Cam. We went to the Water Gardens theater and they have sucker dispensers with Chupa Chups, only come to find out, in Tyler's world they are Chalula's. I think I will stick to his name, it's so much better especially since Chupa Chups just means suck sucks...or something along those lines.

And then there is my favorite of all...if I asked majority of people what these ---->
are, they would say Croutons. But they'd be wrong, because turns out they are called Newtons. Yes, NEWTONS! Random, I know. The best part was how I found out Tyler's lovely name for these. I don't remember why they were even brought up, but he kept talking about Newton's...me, I was maybe thinking he was referring to Fig Newton's? I dunno. So I finally asked him what in the world he was talking about and what the heck a Newton was and he said, "you know those hard bread crumb things you put on salads." Silly me, didn't know what a Newton was, but I sure do now! Thank goodness I have a fantastic husband to teach me all these things!

...and yes, these are just 2 of MANY Tyler words...maybe I will share more soon!

Nicole the Fool.

In the past I really haven't been into April Fools Day, but I am wise enough not to fall for anything and for as long as I can remember, no one has fooled me until this year. For those of you who don't know, Tyler works construction and so he leaves for work pretty early in the morning. I usually wake up when he does but don't get out of bed and then fall back to sleep once he leaves. Needless to say, that early in the morning the fact that it was April Fools was so not on my mind. So when the husband sent me a text saying, "Bad news.... They are doing layoffs today and rumor has it I could be gone..." I instantly fell for it. Not only was I half asleep, but this very well could be a possibility, since all week he had been complaining how awful work was and how slow it had been and he hadn't had anything to do. Sooo yes, I will admit...I was the FOOL and started stressing out and I will even admit there was a few tears shed, before my husband sent the April Fools message! I would have LOVED to get him back and had a few ideas up my sleep, unfortunately though, it was a very busy day for us and we went straight from work to Tyler's mission reunion so I didn't get the opportunity...but on the bright side I have an entire year to plan my revenge!

MIA.

I've been gone from the blog for a while....but part of it has been because we've been so busy.

First with my birthday.....

 

My parents took me to Ruby River, birthdays don't get much better than celebrating with a yummy steak.

And then Hawaii...where we had LOTS of fun!

We had a fun at the beach. We didn't get to go as much as I would have liked thanks to the rainy weather, but the time we did spend there was great!

It was really rainy while we were there so sadly I wasn't my normal picture taking self and didn't get my camera out as much as I should have, because I was too busy avoiding the rain or too embarrassed to take pictures with my awful rain-ruined hair. Luckily I did get some though. We went hiking on one of the days and were hoping to get to swim below some waterfalls, but it had been so rainy that they were overflooded and not swimmable. We missed out on seeing some too, because they had closed off a section of our hike because of all the water, but it was still really fun and BEAUTIFUL. It was probably the most gorgeous hike and drive I have ever been on.

 I think Tyler's favorite part of the trip was this:

We got to drive around the island in this beautiful car. A 2011 Chevy Camaro...it was so new we were the first ones to rent it. It was lots of fun although we never really got to let it loose, because of slow speed limits and lots of traffic...it was pretty fun to peel out in though!


And then Vegas...

 Leave it to us to have a random picture with a San Diego State fan. Kawai Leonard's Aunt to be exact. Even though we lost we stayed after the game and watched the trophy be presented to San Diego State and watched them cut down the net. Out of the corner of my eye I saw this lady taking candid pictures of us. I looked over at her and she just started laughing and said, "ooooh yes!" Next thing we knew it she was headed up to talk to us. As soon as she realized Nate was related to Jackson Emery she was buddied right up and wanted a picture with the boys. She told us that she is fine with losing to anyone, but BYU. It kills her to lose to BYU so I guess it was a good thing for her they won.

We had a fun day on the strip and shockingly I didn't spend a dime. I learned though not to let the husband gamble...he comes home with empty pockets!


And Denver....

Sadly my husband is on his way to Denver to watch the Cougars play right now and I didn't get to go :( Its not really easy to pick up and leave your job again after being gone a week and half! Hopefully they play hard and win so it makes me missing my husband worth it! He deserves to see a good few games!

Conflicted.

My favorite holiday of the year just so happens to be VALENTINES DAY!

It just so happens that the husband's least favorite holiday of the year is VALENTINES DAY!

I have a feeling Valentines Day is going to get interesting.
