Thanks to my friend, Aubree, I've been tagged! For those of you who don't know, Aubree and I were good friends while growing up together in Kennewick, WA. We had some crazy times together, like the time we were 15, and my parents were out of town, and we drove their suburban, without licenses, to a movie together, I believe the movie was the Wedding Planner. My parents never found out, so its all good, unless of course they're reading my blog right now! HAHA! But, we also had a lot of good times together, like going to girl's camp, stake dances, chasing boys together, etc....Now Aubree is married, too, and lives in Idaho with her hubby and baby boy.

* Write six random things/unspectacular quirks about yourself
1.) I own over 100 pairs of shoes--its the truth! They've all been bought within the last 5 years even.
2.)I love working night shifts. This way I get a king size bed to all myself when I come home to sleep! Haha, but of course working nights makes me miss my hubby, a lot!
3.)I actually enjoy poking people with needles. I get an adrenaline rush every time I start an IV, and hit the vein and see the blood in the IV catheter!! I'm crazy, I know!
4.) I'm in love with Matthew McConaughey. He's pretty much my old man fantasy!
5.)I love interior design and decorating our home! I've taken a few classes at BYU, and really love it. I'll have to post some pics of our decor.
6.) I have my own big master bathroom all to myself! All my life, I've wanted my own bathroom, but growing up with 4 sisters, this was hard to come by! So, I had to get married to have my own bathroom! Preston doesn't like my hair all over in the shower (I have long curly hair on my head, I can't help it!), or my makeup, lotion, hair products, etc, cluttering up all the counter space, and I hate his whiskers everywhere, especially in the sink! So, he uses the guest bathroom/shower down the hall! I really got a great deal! Now, if only I could figure out a way to get his stuff out of our walk-in closet too, so I can have it all to myself, and get him to use one of the closets in one of the spare bedrooms..... okay, so this is going too far I'm afraid, I must stop before we end up in separate houses! AHH!
We hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Christmas and Happy New Year! We had 2 weeks off from school and spent the first week with my fam in North Dakota. We went ice skating, sledding, shopping, and to a few movies with them, Bedtime Stories and Yes Man, which were both really good! We went to my Mom's on Christmas morning and she gave us some great decorative items for our home, clothes, and some bath stuff. We spent the rest of the day with Dad and Judie. They gave me some really nice jewelry,perfume, religious CDs, a digital picture frame, and of course...money!!!! All sets of Grandparents sent good sums of money this year, too, so we feel very blessed! Even Judie's family sent us stuff this year...we were like, "who's Grandma and Grandpa Pearson?" Haha. So that was really nice of them!! Preston gave me a lot of clothes from Aeropostale, some fun scrapbooking stuff, a couple new pairs of boots (yay!), some new ski gear, and best of all...A New Keyboard! He was really creative in the way he gave it to me since he couldn't take it up there! I gave him a lot of clothes for winter, and.....A New Guitar!! So we've been having so much fun recording some songs together, since the keyboard can do a lot of cool stuff like that! We had to come back to Utah for the 2nd week of break, since we both had to go back to work (bummer), but we were able to spend New Years with Preston's fam, which was great! We saw a few movies with them as well, 7 Pounds and Valkyrie, I highly recommend both! We had Christmas with them on New Years eve! They got me some jewelry, a jewelry box (a very nice one!), a statue of the Salt Lake Temple, new bed pillows, pajamas, a genealogy poster chart, food storage stuff, and best of all.......a spanking nice GPS! We love it! So, the holidays were great this year! Sometimes its fun to get 3 Christmases, but its also sad because it reminds me my parents are divorced. Before Christmas, we went up to Salt Lake to temple square, with Preston's fam, and saw all the lights and ate at The Roof Restaurant, a Nate family tradition! So, that's what we've been up to! Hope all is well with all our friends and family! We love you all! HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!
