SLC Ice Skating ❤

January 31, 2015

If there's one thing I love, it's ice skating. But ice skating outside? EVEN better.

 

We all ice skated around the Christmas lights while Christmas music was playing & I was in heaven.

 

 

 

I'm not a very good Ice Skater and I usually fall, haha but Nate beat me on this one. He fell so many times from being silly and skating fast. I was so proud that I hadn't fell yet and I was getting pretty cocky ;) As soon as I started getting cocky, Nate came up from behind me and took me OUT. Haha I was wet and cold from all the ice.

 

 

 

 

Our fun ice skating group!!



Double Date....& JAZZ Game :)

 January 5, 2015

It's a double date night for us & Greg!! Usually, when me and Nate go out on a date, Greg loves to come with and third wheel haha! But this time.. he found his special sweety Amy Leo, and decided to take her on the date with us :)

 

 

Now.. if you want to see something so cute, take a look at my brother Greg and how he treats his "girlfriend" Amy. He is nothing but an absolute SWEETHEART

 

 

 

 

The rose Greg got for Amy :)

 

 

 

 

As we sat and watched the game, Amy would lean over and sneak a kiss or two on Greg's cheek. Haha! The game was really fun, but nothing was as fun as being out with these two sweet hearts. We sat down to watch the game but ended up getting too distracted by Greg and Amy. These two are not only cute together, but so dang FUNNY!

 

I lucked out with my date ;)



These two cuties :)

 

 

During the game, Greg and Amy ended up being on the huge screen at the top of the building! Everyone was cheering but these two didn't even notice haha! They were too distracted with other things.

 

 

 

 

Greg was distracted by the game

 

&

 

Amy was distracted by the Jazz magazine.

 

 

 

 

 

 


 

 

 

In the middle of the game, Greg started cheering at one of the jazz dancers! Haha she ended up coming over and getting a picture with him :)

 

 

 

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

January 1, 2015

Alright everyone, it's finally a new year!! Everyone starts writing down their new years resolutions and working on a new list of things that they want to get better at ;) New Years for me is always so fun! I love spending time with my family and friends.

 

 

 

 

Let me tell you a little bit about my New Years..

 

 

 

My New Years was awesome! I wanted to spend some time with my cutie and get in that New Year's kiss ;) haha! After spending some time with my family I decided to go down to a party with my friends. Nate's friends decided to go down as well, as did seriously ALL of Davis High School. Haha we got to the party, and I knew so many faces! The party was lots of fun! Music, dancing, games, food and LOTS of people!

 

 

 

Well.. towards the end of the night,

 

When the countdown had started, I found Nate and we got together. It was SO incredibly crowded, me and Nate were practically glued together! I couldn't move and then all of a sudden right as "11....10...." starts going some guy says to me:

 

"UM.. your hair is stuck in my Jacket."

 

Ahh! haha what!! I definitely didn't mean to get my hair stuck in his jacket, but I couldn't help it. And he was so MAD. It was stuck pretty bad and I didn't think I was going to be able to get it out. I quickly looked at Nate with a panicked face and said,

 

"HELP!!"

 

He was laughing so hard which made me start laughing too. The only one who wasn't laughing was the man standing there with a beer in one hand, and his other hand on his coat zipper.

 

 

FINALLY, Nate got my hair out right as we were on "3....2...." And as soon as we hit 1, he placed a big fat kiss on me.

 

 

HAPPY NEW YEARS!!! And so HAPPY my hair was finally out of this mans coat zipper :/

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 I'm going to be honest, I did not think that I would get a New Year's kiss. I thought that I'd spend my last moments of 2014 getting my hair out of this mans zipper. So anytime I think of New Year's Eve, I think of my long hair getting stuck in some old mans coat zipper. Haha this was one for my memory jar for sure! ;)

 

 

 

 

 



Christmas Time and Temple Square :)

December 14, 2014

Alright so it's always a family tradition with my family to go see the Temple Square Christmas lights every year before Christmas. My brother Greg has been serving a mission down at Temple Square and each year around Christmas time he gets to help put up all of the Christmas lights! And he LOVES it!! It's really important to him that we go! He loves showing off what he's helped out with more than anything:) And this year he was even more excited because I brought Nate with me and my family!

 

 

Haha yikes..this is the first time that Nate is actually hanging out with my family. He's met them before but he's never spent a lot of time with them. I was really nervous to have him spend time with my whole family! And not only was it just my family...but my aunt, uncle, and cousins came too! Haha so he was getting to meet the whole family ;)

 

On our way down to the Temple, we were riding down with my family and all of a sudden Greg says, "OOOH NO IT'S THE FREE FART ZONE!!!" hahaha Nate was so confused and he started laughing but I knew he didn't know what Greg was talking about.

 

Okay.. so every time we pass through Salt Lake and it stinks, Greg likes to call it the "Free fart zone" haha! He's such a stinker. Nate thought that was hilarious and he was starting to warm up with my family :)

 

When we got there, Nate stepped out of the car and my Aunt looked him up and down and said: "You are sooo tall!" My Aunt and Uncle started asking Nate questions and I was soooo nervous. I didn't want them to scare him away! 

 

There was nothing to be nervous about though, my family all loved him and they approved ;) My little cousin came up to me while we were walking through the lights, pulled me away and said, "Michelle...I approve." And my mom just kept saying the whole night "I love him. You better keep him around!" haha my family loved having him there!

 

Everyone was joking around the whole night (teasing me) and they kept making those little side comments... The side comments that me and Nate always get...

 

- "Wow he's SO tall!!"

 

- "Michelle how do you even kiss him??? You're too short!"

 

- "Did he have to bend down and kiss you for the first time??"

 

- "Nate did you know that she was this short when you asked her to the dance?"

 

- "Nate do you want Michelle to stand on the bench for your picture?"

 

 

Yeah my family LOVES to tease me haha and if you're ever going to ask us these questions, just know that you're not the only ones who have asked us these questions. We've only been dating for 3 Months and we get it almost on a daily bases ;) But what can I except? I'm 5'3 and he's 6'6 haha we are definitely asking for it ;)

 

 

 

I love this cute boy of mine

 

 

 

 

 

As we were walking around the Temple, Greg saw some sister missionaries who were singing some church Hymns. Greg went right on over and started singing LOUD with them haha! It was great! Everyone around us had the biggest smile ever and Nate just kept saying "He is so awesome!" "I love Greg!!" As I watched Nate walking with Greg and talking with him it just made me the happiest girl ever! It means the world to me when someone loves Greg as much as I do :) That was really special to me.

 

 

 

I don't know what it was about tonight, but when I was walking with Nate through the lights, I felt closer to him than I ever have before. Something about tonight made me fall so much more in love with him! And I was loving it.

 

 

Tonight we also ran into Santa Clause and Buddy the Elf!! Haha this was pretty funny. Greg saw Santa and he RAN (the fastest I've ever seen him run) over to Santa screaming: "SANTA!!!!" Haha he's so dang cute! This boy will always believe in Santa Clause. It makes our Christmas so much better :) <3

Greg saw Santa and Buddy the Elf!! Haha This made his night :) 

Christmas Village!!!

December 23, 2015

Ever been?? You need to! This was the most beautiful place I have ever been and it's so dang cute too! Nate and I decided to go on a group date with some friends and I had heard that Christmas Village was a lot of fun so we decided to go there. If you know me, you know that I love ANYTHING Christmas! But especially the Christmas lights. When we pulled up to Christmas Village I was in "AHHH". Haha no joke, my mouth opened so wide and I just stared at all of the beautiful lights. I could tell from the moment that we got there that I was going to LOVE tonight!

 

 

 

 

Once again, there was no snow. We were all still waiting for the snow to come! But it was still COLD. It would have been 10 X more prettier if there was snow though.

 

 



Imagine all of these lights....but EVERYWHERE



 

 We walked around each village house and looked inside all of the windows. Ahh everything was so CUTE!! There were so many people but I didn't even care because this place was magical to me haha! The whole night that we were there I felt like I was in a dream.

 

 

 

 

Here's a little example of one of the houses :)

 

 

 

 

 

The further we walked, the more excited me and Nate got. He turned to me in the middle of the lights and said, "It's pretty huh chelley?" Haha I was speechless because this was a whole lot better than I thought it was going to be.

 

 

 

 

 



The most beautiful thing I've ever seen

 

 

 

 

As we stood under this tree, I felt like the luckiest girl ever. I had so many things running through my head.....

 

•  Our world is beautiful
•  My best friend got to share this beauty with me 
•  I want to come back again NEXT year!
•  This made me so HAPPY

 

 

 

 

 





Here's where we drank our Hot Chocolate :)



 

 

 

At the very end of the night, we sat down with our dates and drank some hot chocolate. It was freezing but oh so worth it. Not only that, but as we drank our hot chocolate, I had a pretty darn amazing view to look at. And I'm not just talking  about the lights ;)

 

 



 

 



Mistletoe ;)

December 13, 2015

Tonight was girls choice for our schools Christmas Dance! Christmas is by far one of my favorite holidays. I LOVE snow. It makes everything so much prettier but this year there was no snow! I was praying that it would snow on Christmas Day.

So I went to go pick up my studly date and when I walked into his door and saw him I was speechless!! I swear every time I spent with this boy, he got cuter every day. He looks like a model haha! And I was ready to go take this boy out and show him off ;) 

We went to take pictures and it was really hard for me to get a good picture because I was standing next to such a babe haha. Overall the pictures, I think we probably got 2 serious ones of both of us. Like I've said before, it's so hard to be serious with such a fun guy! I'm constantly joking around with him and I love it!

Usually the dance part isn't my favorite part of the night. But this dance was different ;) This dance we had a mistletoe haha! Alright so what happened is some of my friends told me before the dance, "There's a mistletoe at the Christmas Dance that people bring around." And then they told me that they hang it over every couple at the dance. So when we got to the dance, I was expecting to see a lot of people mistletoe-ing but I didn't even see ONE mistletoe anywhere so I just kept on dancing with my cute date :) 

All of a sudden as we're dancing I start to hear cheering and cat calling and all sorts of things coming from a huge group of baseball boys..and there you have it...these boys who were standing right next to us were hanging a mistletoe over our head. I just started laughing and then the thought came across me in that moment.."Um is he going to kiss me?? Or is he too embarrassed?" Well he didn't wait much longer until he kissed me under the mistletoe. All of his baseball friends were cheering him on and he thought it was the funniest thing ever haha. He was smiling so big after and so was I. I was so proud to have such a handsome funny guy with me there that night. And not only that, but this handsome boy is all mine and I was one proud girl showing him off :)

Clearly....He had a good time hahaha

This dance was a lot of fun and I'm so glad I got to take such a stud! I got my very first mistletoe tonight ;) haha I've always wanted to mistletoe because in every single Christmas Hallmark movie they have someone kissing under the mistletoe hahaha. After the dance we went back to a girls house and watched a movie and had some treats. After tonight, it was sort of starting to feel like Christmas. I'm so ready for Christmas to come!! And I'm even more excited that I have such a cute boy to spend the holiday with :) 

ZOO Lights :)

December 12, 2014

I've lived in Utah my whole life and not once had I been to see the Christmas lights at the zoo. This was one of my favorite Christmas dates ever :) I'm so happy this cute boy took me for my first time! If you haven't been to see the Zoo Lights, then you need to go next year! 

Tonight was so funny! On our way over one of Nate's friends (who was driving) picked up another girl in Bountiful and then started driving towards the zoo, only he took a wrong exit so he was headed the wrong way. Even though I had never been to see the Christmas lights there, I still have gone plenty of other times to the zoo to see the animals haha. I told his friend that he took the wrong exit but he didn't believe me. He said he knew exactly where he was going haha. No one seemed to believe me. I was so anxious to get to the zoo. So I just decided to let the boys figure out how to get there.

Eventually they figured it out and we FINALLY made it to the zoo! Haha it took a lot longer than it should have. But we made it and that's all that matters.

This year we haven't gotten hardly any snow! It was cold outside but not cold enough. It felt like Christmas in November.

We took this picture right after we attempted to see the monkey's. Haha I love monkey's so much but all of them were in the dark room asleep.
