The Busy Life of Nicole

This summer has so far been an interesting one for me. I feel like I gave up my life back in April and my whole life consists of work. Its not that I'm working a long amount of hours. I think I'm averaging about 42 a week, but whats killing me is the hours that I do work. Let me start by saying I actually really do love my job. I work with a fun group of girls, in a great office with great owners and staff, however being available to work between 8:30am and 10pm makes it really difficult to plan much of anything. I think Tyler and I will probably run out of friends soon considering how many people we've turned down for things like BBQ's, movies, and all things summer because of my hours and did I mention I get to work the 4th of July? Awesome. The one upside to it all, is that Tyler is available in the day so we still find plenty of time to go do stuff together and make it so I can still have a little taste of summer. So far we've spent a few hours at 7 peaks and last week we went to the home opener Owlz game and I'm hoping to do a lot more fun stuff this week, because I work not only 1 early day this week but 2 and have my day off to play on top of that. I can't wait. Working the hours I work sure make me grateful for whatever time I get!!! I basically live for Sunday's because its the one day a week I know I always have. Yesterday was a particularly good Sunday. We went over to Misty and Russ's and played with cute little Bryce and then went to a get together for my cousin Brett's birthday. We had lots of laughs and enjoyed time with family, as always!

My Blogging Skills Sometimes Suck.

Yep, I said it cuz its true. Again, so much to say because I don't do this too often.

What's new in the world of Tyler & Nicole world you ask?

Oh...ya know...just that yes, we're going back to school! Hooray for school! I can't wait to be done...so I'm glad we're actually going to go this semester!

Tyler started an ebay business...he's no ebay rookie and has already done plenty of buying and selling, but this stuff is more official and consistent. He's pretty excited that he's making more every day on ebay than he makes all day at work!

We had a fun slumber party last weekend with Mccall, Chaston, and Brinley...they are some of our cute nieces and nephews! We had lots of fun eating popcorn, watching "Up", and playing beauty parlor. I don't think my hair has ever had so much attention...3 stylists all at once and probably 8 or more new do's! I wish I would have taken pictures!!!


WE BOUGHT A HOUSE! ...okay, maybe not, but I can dream. Working in real estate will really do that to a girl...that and having a boss who is constantly harassing you (in a good way of course) about why you haven't bought one yet, because its such a good time to!!! Unfortunately, I'm not so sure its the right time for us just yet.

All summer we've been enjoying going to Owlz games. My family finally joined us for one 2 weeks ago. We had a great time!!!

I also went and saw The Help with all the girls! It was lots of fun & I loved the movie!!!

Soccer, Good Food, and Baseball.

Nathan had a soccer tournament that has gone on the last few days in West Jordan.

Yesterday I was able to go up and watch one of his games.

Even though they lost, it was really fun to see him play with his new team.

After we went to lunch at Chili's to re-fuel Nathan and his best friend, Brady, so they could be ready for their next game. 

The boys were super goofy and definitely entertaining for me & my mom at lunch.

It's blurry thanks to Nathan and all his giggles causing the camera to shake!

Nate & his friend Brady. 

As you can see they couldn't stop laughing long enough for a picture!

Unfortunately, I couldn't stay for the second game because I had to be to work, but the days fun wasn't over. After work Tyler & I took Nathan to the Owlz game with us, where we had lots of fun cheering for the Owlz & in Nathan's case, the opposing team! He loves opposition. We also had lots of fun talking about other matters, like Nathan's 6th grade crush. Its always enjoyable seeing his face turn red. By the time the game was over we were all starving so we hit up Applebees for some 1/2 price appetizers!

Here is to Happiness...Summer Edition ♥

Nothing says happiness like the Lehi Round-Up. I love Round-up week & I love rodeos.

Lunches with My Mom are the best, especially cuz she buys ;)

New Summer Tradition: Orem Owlz games. I love them. Tyler & I went to 3 this week!

Seven Peaks. I love the sun. I love the water. Pools are my heaven on earth.

I love Parades! Especially the Lehi Parade because of all the cute Primary floats!

I just ♥ summer!
