Baby Coming!!

We're really excited about our new little addition that will be joining us in February. Hopefully by the time she comes out she's a little cuter than this.
At least she's smiling and seems to be pretty content with where she's at. Let's hope she stays that way for a while :)

Matt with straight hair?!?!?!

So some of you, I'm sure, have spent evenings wondering, "what would Matt Nelson look like with straight hair?" Well wait no longer my friends. Because we finally did it. We straightened his hair. Now try to put all of your ideas of how Matt normally looks aside and let me know what you truly think of the new do. Enjoy! I know I did!

Almost my Birthday

So, usually when Matt asks me what I want for my birthday, I say something like....."Oh I don't really need anything" or "I don't know". But I have come to realize that with a husband, or anyone else for that matter, you won't get what you want unless you tell them. So Matt this is for you.....now you will know.

1 I want new clothes, and not just one sweater, I want a whole new wardrobe. And I know we can't afford for me to get a new wardrobe, but I still want it.

2 I want to go on a surprise vacation. It doesn't have to be somewhere too fancy like Italy or New Zealand, but I wouldn't mind a cruise or a trip to Hawaii or Disneyland (we do have season passes...remember?). That's not asking too much is it?

3 I want a new couch! And not just any couch, I want the couch at Z-Gallerie that is like sitting on a giant teddy bear. Cause I love it!!

4 I want to be pampered in a spa (massage, pedicure, manicure and maybe another massage). It just sounds so relaxing.

5 I want to get our tv/internet fixed so I can add more things to my blog and people won't think I am a slacker.

6 I want a Wii Fit...oh wait, I already got that.

7 I want to see some friends that we haven't seen in a while (ex: Frisby's, Lifferth's, Stucki's, Whitaker's, Mildenstein's) There are more of you too that I want to see, I am just helping Matt come up with a few ideas.

8 I want Rock Band. Then people will want to come and play games with us. Also cause it's really fun and I want to play it.

9 I want laser hair removal. For everything. Cause I think I might hate shaving more than I hate Kiera Knightley on Pirates 2.

10 I want to eat sushi more. Cause it turns out I really like it.

I think after reading all the things I want, you might realize why I say things like...."Oh I don't really need anything" or "I don't know". Cause I know most of it, is just not feasible right now. But maybe a couple things are? Yes? I guess I will just have to wait and see. The anticipation is killing me!!

4 Year Anniversary

Well....today is mine and Matt's four year anniversary! I can't believe it either. We always tell people that we didn't even think we would make it this long. Always in a kidding manner, but really in this day and age 4 years can be quite an accomplishment. I just wanted to take the opportunity to say how much I appreciate my husband. He is so amazing! Here are just a few things that I love about Matt and being married to him.
1. I love Matt for loving me
2. I love being married and always having someone to turn to.
3. I love Matt for being such a good friend to everyone he meets. (I wish I was more like him in this aspect)
4. I love Matt for always being able to help me laugh off the things that really don't matter, but for some reason hurt my feelings. (I'm such an emotional wreck sometimes)
5. I love Matt for trying so hard in school, because he wants to get a good job to support me and our future family. (No I am not announcing anything.....so stop asking)
6. I love Matt for making dinner on the nights that I am just so exhausted from work. I don't have to ask him to do it, he just does.
7. I love having someone that knows all the inside jokes and laughs along with me, even when no one else is.
8. I love Matt for telling me that I am beautiful when I am feeling at my very worst.
9. I love Matt for liking, or at least pretending to like, my cooking......when I do it.
10. I love Matt for everything that he is and everything that we are together.
Thanks honey for four awesome years!!! Can't wait to see what happens next!!

Capital G

No I am not referring to the Nine Inch Nails song (although it is a good one), I am referring to our new little kitty. His name is Capital G. Everyone asks for the story behind it so here it is. My sister Bree found some abandoned kittens at her work. She found them when they were about a week old and so she found herself taking care of five newborn kittens. One weekend we were all at a wedding and Bree brought the kittens. We didn't want to get too attached to the kittens so we were just calling them by what color their fur was. Unfortunately, there were to gray kittens. So Bree came up with the genius idea of calling one gray and one gray with a capital G. The whole "don't want to get too attached" thing didn't really work (obviously) and I ended up taking one of the gray kitties. Matt and I thought Capital G was actually kind of a cool name.....so we stuck with it! Now G is a part of our family and we just love him to death! He is so stinking cute. We have actually had him for about three months now and he is getting so big. So here are some pictures of G through the ages. Enjoy!!

Matterhorn.....Take Two!!!

Well we attempted to visit the Matterhorn earlier this week and it just didn't work out. We went to Zermatt, where the Matterhorn is located, and it was so cold and foggy that we couldn't see anything. I mean nothing, not even a hint of the mountain was visible. So now that we are into our free days Matt and I decided to give it one more shot. And it was so worth it!! It was a gorgeous day, not a cloud in the sky! We spent more time on the train getting there, than we actually spent in Zermatt, but it was worth it to me. It seems like if you are going to be in Switzerland then you should see the Matterhorn while you are there. Others may not agree with me, but I don't care. I thought it was an incredible sight to see!








This was the first attempt to see the Matterhorn. Not a whole lot to write home about.
















This was attempt number two! Obviously a much better day! So glad I got to see it!

Yvoire!!

So today we went to France!! It was just across Lake Geneva, so it wasn't too far, but now I can say I went to France. So that's cool. Yvoire was a cute little town with lots of shops and naked old ladies laying out of the dock trying to get a tan. Matt and I were really thrown off when we saw this old lady just roll down the top part of her one piece swimsuit to tan her upper half. It was like a train wreck, we just couldn't look away!! Yikes!! We spent quite a bit of time in Yvoire, but before that we were in a little town called Nyon. That is still in Switzerland. There we got a kebab. Which isn't meat on a skewer if that is what you are thinking. It is this awesome sandwich with mystery meat (I find it better not to ask what I am eating over here, it just makes it easier) and lettuce and tomato and carrots and chili sauce and other things and it is amazing!! The chili sauce a was a little spicy for me so I had Matt go and fill our camelback with water at the fountain nearby. Unfortunately, Matt can be a little bit of a klutz and he spilled water on this lady that was sitting near the fountain eating her lunch. She was not impressed with Matt and said a few choice words to him. Lucky for us, we didn't understand a word she said! Good times!
