Semesters, Holidays, Updates etc.

Brent and I have been married for almost five months now. We are about to start the winter semester at BYU tomorrow :( Vacation wasn't long enough. But we haven't updated in awhile as was pointed out by our friend. Our first semester at school as a married couple was very hard for both of us. Not necessarily because we are married, pretty much because school was just really hard. We both had to drag ourselves out of bed at 7 on most days and walk to class. Brent had to work afterward and I had to look for jobs. I got one at Bath&Body Works but they hardly ever scheduled me so it wasn't like I worked there at all. We had fun cooking together and I discovered that I really like cooking I'm just not so great at grocery shopping. My favorite thing to make has been chocolate chip cookies.The first picture is my first official meal that i cooked. Deviled chicken. I didn't realize my eyes were half closed when i put it up.
Anyway, speaking of cooking, Brent is the real cook. I can follow recipes, he can make up his own and have them come out AMAZING. The best meals we've had, he has made up on his own.
So basically I went to school and sold hand soap and lotion and Brent went to school and sold iphones. We spent out nights watching movies and playing video games, occasionally going out to eat and hanging out with friends.
October 9th came around which means I turned 20! And Brent gave me an amazing Birthday the second year in a row. He came home with a Cheesecake saying "Happy Birthday Nikki". He also got me/us/Himself a PS3. He got my Pirates of the Carribbean on Blue ray. He took me out to Tucano's. And later on that Craig and Kim and their baby, came over to our house for cake.
Somehow the semester ended and somehow i ended up doing pretty well, and so did Brent. I was working a lot because of the Holidays. Then my mom and little brother came out to visit. That was great because I missed my family a lot.
Our first Christmas was great. Brent made it really special and we had a lot of fun together. Most of the presents under the tree were from Brent to me. But he did get a brand new car this year so that was his big present.


Anyway so that was our Christmas. We watched the Office for awhile and we had Ihop for dinner. Gizmo really liked our Christmas tree. I'll leave you with him. He wishes you all a Merry Christmas and a happy new year.
