Smelly Dish

The other day our landlord (who just might be the nicest guy in the world) told me the Direct TV guy would be coming in like an hour to set up our new dish. So I tried to get as many errands done as possible before he came. Well 2 1/2 hours later then he said he would be there he finally showed up. I opened the door to let him in and OH MY GOSH!!! He smelt like B.O. and cigarettes. I thought I was going to die! So he started to set the dish up and he was talking away... telling me all about his life. Then he just leaves. He didn't tell us how to finish setting the thing up, he didn't say bye or anything. He just stood up and walked out. I was so confused. At first I thought he was coming back.... after a hour of being gone I was like ok... maybe he isn't coming back. But don't worry he left his smell for us to enjoy. Our place smelt for hours after he left! It was so funny when Nick walked into the house he got this disgusted look on his face and he was like, "what is that?" haha.  If his smell wasn't enough thanks to him we didn't have TV or internet for a whole day! I almost died. All my classes are online. So I couldn't get any homework done. We couldn't watch TV so we watched The Mighty Ducks 2. Don't worry our internet and TV is now working, thanks to our awesome landlord. Good times at the Fawcett Home. 

Nicks Birthday

Nick turned 24 on Sept 9th. Sadly he had to go to school and study and do all that fun stuff. But I still tried to make it a fun day.
The night before I made some birthday signs. And after he fell asleep I hung them up all over our kitchen. I made him his favorite cake (German Chocolate with pecan and coconut frosting) while he was at school. And then I  cleaned the house all pretty like. Nick LOVES a clean house... he is a little OCD.  For dinner we had some yummy Roys pizza. And then we watched Prison Break (one of our favorite shows). Of course I sang happy birthday to him and then we ate some cake... well he ate the cake I didn't have any I hate that kind. That was basically Nicks big celebration.

Mexico

For our honeymoon we went on a cruise to Mexico. It was the first time I have ever left the country. I must admit I was a little nervous. Mostly I was nervous because its Mexico. You hear all these scary stories of Mexico so... I was scared. The only reason I was okay with going was the fact that Nick knows Spanish. Let me tell you... it helped a lot.

The first few days on the cruise was just relaxing. We slept in.. not caring what times it was. We played a lot of mini golf. We laid out in the sun and got burnt. We ate tons and tons of yummy food. It was awesome. Just what the doctor ordered.

Our first stop was Puerto Vallarta. We went on a tour of the country side. We saw little Taco Stands and Tortilla Factories. It was awesome. We saw the real Mexico with dirt roads. After the tour we went on a real Mexican bus to the Hard Rock Cafe. There is NO WAY I would have gone off on our own if Nick didn't know Spanish. He asked this cute old lady for directions. She was so nice and helped us use the crazy bus. At the Hard Rock we ordered VIRGIN Margaritas. The waiter spoke English and he said ok no alcohol. Yeah I took one little sip... and YUCK! It was alcoholic. Don't worry Nick told the guy and he fixed it. After lunch we headed back to the boat. We took a taxi and the taxi driver was very nice... because Nick spoke Spanish he gave us the Taxi for cheaper. The downside of Nick knowing Spanish people always assumed I knew it too.

Second stop Mazatlan. Nick and I just took a Taxi to downtown and just walked around. It was SO hot that day. I have never been so hot in my life. We walked around the beach. And just hung out.  Before we died of heat we headed back to the boat.

Our final stop was Cabo San Lucas. This was probably my favorite. We had to take tender boats (small taxi like boats) to get to the port. We got there early in the morning and went right to our first adventure.... parasailing. I was sacred... not the fact that we were going to be 600 ft in the sky but because I didn't want to accidentally get dropped in the ocean with sharks and stuff. But it was so much fun. And was so relaxing. After we all went up in the sky they took us to the famous arch. It was sooo pretty. After parasailing Nick and I explored. We walked around the city. We went a bought Mexican pop. It was pretty good. Once again after the heat got to us we headed back to the boat. We got on the tender to take us back and the caption made Nick and me sail back!!! I had peoples lives in my hands. I was scared. Nick loved it.

Then we headed back to the United States. We finished our cruise the way we started it. Mini golf... sleeping... and laying out. All in all it was amazing. I would recommend a cruise to anyone. 

The Sun Sets were so pretty

Parasailing.... YAY!

The wedding.... August 7,2010

On the way to the temple it didn't hit me.... I am going to get married today. When I saw Nick at the temple it made me so happy... but it didn't hit me yet. We had to fill out papers and stuff. Nick was getting so anxious. We get to our sealing room and the Sealer said, "Are you ready to get married?" And Nick said in a loud voice, "YES". It made me so happy, and thats when it hit me. Before I knew it we were husband and wife. We were about to go outside and see all the family when I see people walking into the temple wet and wind blown hair. I heard someone say,"The wind is going like 100 mph out there." Right away I was bugged. I was thinking this is August! It shouldn't be raining. The wind shouldn't be blowing super hard. We walked outside the temple and Jayme runs up and hugs me. Matthew told me he hated his pink tie. And the madness began. My veil flew off. My dress was flying up. My hair was covering my face. Umbrellas were breaking from the wind. It was so frustrating slash funny slash unforgettable slash perfect. The sky was beautiful.  They pictures really capture the moment. After the temple a couple of went to our place where we watched tv and ate some pizza. Then we headed up to Provo. We got there and I attempted to fix my hair. We got tons of pictures taken thanks to my awesome friend Shantel. We ate a yummy dinner with great company. Then we watched our video and cut the cake. Cutting the cake took a little longer because Nick wouldn't eat the cake because he was laughing so hard. After the cake we just talked and had fun. All in all it was a perfect day!

This picture isn't posed... Nick was keeping the hair out of my face.

Such an awesome sky
