Things I have Learned

Nathanal and I have been living on our own for a little over a year now and throughout this year I have learned many things that I never knew before...

1. One persons definition of clean my not be the same as another individual, However you should appreciate whatever form of cleaning is done!

2. Money doesn't grow on trees, and no a credit card is not a plastic form of a money tree. If you want something you have to save and work for it and in the end hope that it is worth it!

3. Dogs are just as demanding as kids, if not more so! I get up with my kids dogs nightly and take them into the freezing cold so they can take care of business. (Nathanal does his fair share of taking them out as well)

 

4. Making you house into your "Dream" house is a expensive and slow process, but furniture and paint does not make a house a home.





5. Compromising is not always easy but it is vital in order to have a peaceful home and marriage.         

                                            

6. Family is everything. They help you when your in need, they love you unconditionally, they guide you to the right decisions and then support you no matter what. Without them we wouldn't be where we are today.  

 

I know I still have a lot of learning to do and I am grateful for that. Everyday is a new day and a new opportunity to grow. Carpe Diem!

One Love

The BEST part about getting married was our honeymoon! We went to the White house Sandals Resort in Jamaica and cannot wait to go to another Sandals resort in the future!

Nathanal was hesitant about spending such a large chunk of  change on a vacation but by the end of our honeymoon he said it was money well spent :) 

Every night we wrote about our day on Nathanals computer so that we could go back and relive those memories so here are just a few excerpts from those journal entries.

Oh my…. I thought that Utah had bad drivers but I was WRONG! - Chels

When we finally arrived at the resort it was beautiful and there were drinks and cool towels to welcome us. - Chels

 The sun was setting and it was just a perfect way to greet us to the island. -Nathanal

Snorkeling was an amazing experience I LOVED it. We saw schools of fish, it was a totally different world under the sea -Chels

On the walk I saw a dead ‘big’ crab, a small jelly fish and quite a few small crabs called merrle crabs that burrow in the sand.- Nathanal

The glass bottom boat was really cool it took us around and showed up some of the reef and one of the guides would jump into the ocean and bring up things for us to get an even close look at.-Chels

We made our way to the main pool and lounged around the bar for a little while because the cool pool felt so good in the heat. - Chels

The completion of another lazy day on the island.-Nathanal

Today I laid on the beach with my book and read for a couple of hours and enjoyed the sun, if that was the only thing I had to do for the rest of my life I wouldn’t mind. -Chels

I was sad to realize that our honeymoon trip was almost over because we have at the most amazing time however, I can’t wait until the next adventure we get to go on because it has been so nice spending time together relaxing avoiding all of the stresses of the real world-Chels

Chelsie wore a lil black dress that looked absolutely stunning in her.-Nathanal

 Its been a blast so far and it is so cool to be able to be in a different country experiencing a different culture with my beautiful new wife.-Nathanal

I had the most amazing time with Nathanal in Jamaica I cannot wait for our next vacation together!!
