The month of love 2013

February has been a full month. For our Anniversary on February 5th we celebrated (while my sister-in-law Jennifer watched Mason..thank you Jen!). Nate bought me beautiful flowers and took me skiing for $10 at Alta (I LOVE skiing), then to a nice dinner. It was a really wonderful day. Just when I thought it couldn't get better, Nate surprised me by taking me to a little Sugar House street in Salt Lake City to visit our temple sealer - Brother Roland Wright. He is a veteran of WWII, former Mission President of the NYC Mission, in his late 80's or early 90's, and a good, wise, angelic man. It was so sweet to visit with him. It brought back a flood of memories of our temple sealing.

Some of my favorite flowers because of what they symbolize (purity and trust in God), the incredibly beautiful fragrant smell,  their price :), and how long they last!

For Valentine's Day I made Nate a breakfast and wrote him a love note. He was sick that day so instead of going out that night for dinner, we ordered pizza instead. I was sad we couldn't go out that night - but we still had fun. 

President's Day was wonderful. We went to xtreme sport in provo with Nate's family and had fun bouncing Mason around. He loved it!!

Nate also found out yesterday that he passed the 'Foreign Officer's Exam'. That means he will write a personal essay response, which then if he passes, will be invited to Washington DC to be personally interviewed. He was mostly taking it as a practice this time around since his plans are to go to law school in fall of 2014, but we will see what happens! If he passes, we will have some fun decisions to make!

This month Nate was also offered and accepted a full-time position to work at 'Fit Marketing', a company started by his very good friend Owen Fuller. We feel like our fasting and prayers, and those of our family members have been heard. Before now he has been working part-time with his brother at a Mexican Restaurant. Since Goldman Sachs, I could not have imagined the faith and patience and trust I would be given opportunity to learn. It has been a journey of faith, but I am so grateful that God has given me the opportunity to learn and grow in this way.

There is much much more in my heart, but maybe for another time. 

We are looking forward to Spring and sunshine! We love our family and friends!!!
