School and Work-School and Work

School and work pretty much consume both Shawn and my days...we sure love the weekends. Like this weekend we are going on a little road trip and heading out to Laramie, to watch the BYU vs. Wyoming football game and staying to spend time with some friends. Shawn's Best friend, Garrett, lives out in Laramie and is an athletic trianer for the football team and one of my dearest friends, KaLee, my roomate for 3 years and her husband, Ronnie (also my friend) both are living in Laramie as well while Ronnie is going to Law School. I am very excited to see them, especially since KaLee is pregnant and ready to have her baby very soon...maybe while I am there!!!
Here is Shawn studying, he does that alot! He gets home from class and studys for most of the evening. But it is all paying off becasue Shawn has been doing very well in his classes.
Yeah, here I am at work at Utah First Title! This is my desk, I work as a receptionist so I am the first one everyone "gets" to see when they walk in


And here is my name plate, Yes I was very excited when I got my very own name plate, I have never had one before and I love it!
Well, it looks like I better get use to this life, becasue it does not look like it will be changing any time soon. Now that Shawn has picked his major of Bio-Chemistry and Pre-dental minor we will be here at BYU for at least 4 more years......then hopefully we will be off to Denatl School for another 4 more years. Wow, it looks like a long road ahead of us right now. Hope it will be workth it!
I am sure it will.

Family Weekend

We had such a fun weekemd with my family in town. We watched the BYU football game together, then my mom, dad, and Kyle drove up and stayed with Blake, Amy, and Jared in Logan, where they went and watched a Utah State basketball and football game (as you can tell Kyle loves college sports). Then on Sunday the whole family got together at my little house and we had our big family Thanksgiving dinner a little early (since none of us will be able to go to Oregon this year for Thanksgiving), it was very good...just like home. Then afterwards we had some of our cousins and some friends come over for yummy treats and catching up. Then I got the day off of work on Monday, and my mom and I got to have a shopping day togehter...I miss those tmes together, so it turned out great.


Now my family is fyling home and going back to Oregon, the weekend went by way to quick...but there is a chance that they will be coming back out in December...let's hope so! I love visits with my family, I miss them so much while we are away from each other. Even though, it was so great having the family together, we still are missing Elder Nelson (in Pennsylvaina). He has 1 year left, and we cant wait to have him with us too. I hope to make it back out to Oregon...someday.

Thank you family for coming out and making my week so amazing!

BYU Football game with my Family

So, my family is in town and I am one happy girl, we all went to the BYU-TCU football game and of course the cougars won!!! They are undefeated and #1 in the MWC right now!!!
Here is a picture of my parents enjoying the game, my dad forgot that you should not wear red (U of U colors) at a BYU game.
A picture of Shawn and I at the game, it was a beautiful clear evening, but it cooled down the later it got.
And here is a picture of Kyle (or the King) my dad, me, and Shawn after the game. We got home at 11:30 at night. But it was worth it, it was a fun game.

My family is coming!!!!

No pictures today, but i just wanted to say that I am so so very excited that my family is flying in tomorrow. My parents and my youngest brother, Kyle, will be here tomorrow afternoon. They are planning on staying in Provo with Shawn and I Thursday and then they are driving up to Logan to be with Blake, Jared, and Amy. Then they will be back Saturday in Provo for the rest of their stay. We are going to be having our "Nelson" family Thanksgiving together a little early...on Sunday at my place so that we can have it all together. Then I get the day off on Monday...and I am going shopping with my mother, and I cant wait! I love when my family comes into town!!! It has been a few months since I have seen them, and it has been almost 3 months since they have seen Jared, and I know they are all very anxious to see him! It has been less then a month since I have seen him and I am excited to see him too!

Wyoming Weekend!

Shawn and I spent the weekend in Evanston with; Garrett and Cynthia (Shawn's oldest brother) and their two little boys, Brandon and Mandy (Shawn's older brother) and their two boys, Necha and Josh (Shawn's older sister) and their two little girls, Eugene (Shawn's dad) and Shawn and I. We spent the weekend relaxing, watching movies, eating pizza and ice cream, talking, playing with all the little nieces and nephews, and all of the Platt boys went shooting. Shawn's favorite part of the weekend was that he was able to talk his dad and little brother, Joseph, into taking the Vesped moped back to Provo for the winter. Eugene bought the scooter at a garage sale a few months ago, and Shawn has been trying to figure out a way to get it to Provo that whole time. Shawn loves this thing. It will be nice to ride to campus to save on gas and he will be able to park alot closer to campus! You should see us because we ride on it together (I get to sit in the front) its great! We took a Sunday evening ride yesterday on the little path behind our house that follows the river through Provo, I wanted to drive for a sec. so, when it was my turn to drive I crashed it into a fallen tree in front of a big group of people (and they all laughed) because Shawn and I both fell off and we were only go 15 mph. I skinned my knee and hurt my hand. Shawn always drives now.
Here is a picture of Shawn with little Maggie (Shawn's older sister, Necha's, baby). Maggie was born almost 6 months ago and was born three months early and weighted alittle over 1 lbs and lived in SL Children's hospital for the last few months. So, we were so excited to finally meet her and to see her so happy and alert and chubby...she now weighs 10 lbs. She is such a good baby too, she just sits and chills on your lap and loves to look around with her big blue eyes. We are so blessed to have such amazing medical miracles happen, so that we can have Maggie in the family!
And, finally here is a picture of Shawn leaving for class this morning, on his "motorcycle" as he calls it. If you ask me this thing is far from a motorcycle. But it is so cute how much Shawn loves this thing already. Honestly, if you gave Shawn the choice of having a real motorcycle or this Vesped, I think he would choose the Vesped! He is in charge of Family Home Evening tonight, so you can all guess what we are going to be doing...go for a ride on the moped...O the exciting life of a poor newlywed couple!

Happy November!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween. Shawn and I decided to stay home and watch a movie and eat Cafe Rio Pork salads and give out candy to all the trick or treaters. We were well prepared with a big bowl full of candy...and we only ended up with 1 trick or treater. We were sad about that, we were sure there would be more since there are so many little kids running around in our neighborhood, but we found out that they all ended up going to the churchs trunk or treat that was right next to us. So, now we have a whole bowl of candy in our home...not a good idea. I think we will have to take it with us to Evanston this weekend!

And I want to wish my parents a happy 27th Anniversary!

Relaxing baby weekend

Shawn and I had a nice relaxing weekend. We got to sleep, watch a movie, do homework, read, relax and babysit for my baby cousins. They are so cute and so fun and Shanw and I love to help take care of them. It is nice because I would love to have a little baby right now, but since we are deciding to wait a little while... it is perfect for us to play with and get our baby fix every once in awhile with the two cutest little twin girls there are!

We love helping out with our "little Woodley" cousins, and we love having our "big Woodley" cousins, Eric and Megan so close too!
