Happy Birthday Momma Price!

Nate's mother is an extraordinary women. She is extremely inspirational and is a perfect example of the traits and characteristics a mother should have. She is exactly what I always envisioned my future mother-in-law to be. I hope I can be the same mother she has been to Nate. Thanks for all you do! Hope your birthday was a good one! We love you!

First Day On The Job

Today is the start of Nate's career. I had to snap a picture on his way out the door. I'll admit, I have had the butterflies all day today! Am I just plain lame, or has anyone also experienced this on their husbands first day of their job?? Needless to say, we are both excited! Nate will be making the commute until we move in August. His territory he is over is from the point of the mountain, to North of Salt Lake. We are excited be given the opportunity to stay in Utah!

A Special Day

This past Friday Nate graduated!! He graduated from BYU in Exercise Science, with a minor in Business Management. I am so proud of Nate for his hard work and dedication. He was on the Dean's list two semesters this past year for having a 4.0 GPA. Cami's husband, JR, also graduated on Friday. Nate begins training with his new job on Monday! We are very excited for this opportunity. We will be moving somewhere North in August. Congratulations Nate and JR!

Graduation was two days. The first day was the Universities commencement ceremony. President Uchtdorf was awarded an honorary doctorate and also gave a speech. The second day was the department convocation.


I have recently learned how into baseball cards Nate and his brother Jason were growing up. Their mom has been storing the cards for years, having been told not to throw any away. She packed one full suitcase of baseball cards and brought them with her on the plane. Nate and Jason went through them Friday night looking to see if any are worth anything now. Nate will probably hang on to the one's worth something, I think we should sell them!

La Carreta...best Peruvian joint in town!!
Graduation Day:



We had a big celebration dinner on Sunday. Unfortunately I did not take many pictures. This will have to do.
Last night we antended Cami's graduation. She graduated as a dental hygienist from UCDH. She graduated with a 4.0 GPA and was awarded the Excellence in Professional Care Award. Congratulations Cami!

San Diego

This past weekend was spent in San Diego at our good friends Cortney and Laura's wedding. Instead of flying, we decided to cut costs and make the ten hour drive with Brent and Jen. We left at 9 p.m. on Wednesday and drove through the night.

Cortney has always been very close to Nate and I. He was one of my best guy friends the first couple years of college and was good friends with Nate as well. He was very instrumental in the process of Nate and I meeting, dating, and then later marrying. He was also Nate's best man at our wedding.

We could not have hand picked a better person for Cortney to end up with. We absolutely LOVE Laura!

THURSDAY:
We arrived in San Diego at 7 a.m., just in time to eat breakfast at a cafe on the beach.

That night we ordered pizza and hung out in Cortney's hotel room.

FRIDAY:
The boys went golfing at our hotel, and the girls hung out at the spa pool.

Wedding party dinner the night before wedding.
SATURDAY:
Wedding day

Wedding dinner




We ate a ridiculous amount of Pink Berry. On our drive home, we stopped outside Vegas so Jen and I could ride a roller coaster.

An Apostle's Easter Thoughts on Christ

One of the great consolations of this Easter season is that because Jesus walked such a long, lonely path utterly alone, we do not have to do so.

Vegas

Despite how it may seem, Nate and I do have a life outside of BYU sports. At least I think we do...With that said, we went to Vegas for four days this past weekend for the MWC basketball tournament. We drove down with Cami, JR, Brent, and Jen where we then met up with Nate's parents, as well as Jason, Amanda, and their kids. Unfortunately we didn't take too many pictures.

As we were leaving one of the games, we were slammed into by an old lady in an escalade. She was extremely frazzled by the ordeal and even cried. Poor lady, but even more so, poor Cami and JR's car!

My favorite play is Phantom of the Opera. The last time I saw it was with my parents when I was a little girl. Nate knew this and so for Valentines day he surprised me with two tickets to see it while in Vegas. It was absolutely amazing.


Last night some of my friends got together here in Provo for Amanda's birthday. We missed all of you who couldn't make it!

Happy 25!!

Zealots or Zoobies??

As some may know, last weekend was the BYU vs Utah basketball game. It was an extremely intense game, seeing as both teams needed a win in order to stay in the race to win the MWC Championship. Even though each student is allowed an all-sports pass, not everyone can get into the game, especially the big ones. The student section only holds a certain number of students and once the maximum capacity is filled, the doors are shut on the rest.

It all began last Thursday night. Nate and I were driving home at 10:30 p.m. from a fun night in Park City with our friends Megan, Tanner, and Eli Elton. We had heard people were already camped out for the game on Saturday, so we thought we would drive by and see for ourselves. Sure enough, there were twenty tents lined up outside the Mariott Center waiting for the doors to open. I immediately turned to Nate and told him we had to go home right this second to get our tent! We figured each tent would have twenty to thirty people cut in line with them the day of the game so I knew we had little time to waste. You would think most "normal" people would just cut the loss and sit at the top, or even watch it on their tv at home. Nate and I are a little crazy sometimes when it comes to what we love. Let's be honest, who likes to sit in the nosebleeds anyways?

So Thursday night Nate and I put up our tent at Midnight and both slept there that night. Friday one of us stayed in the tent studying and doing homework, while the other went to work, went to class, or took a test. That afternoon and night Cami and Jr. came and helped hold down the fort. We all figured it was well worth the wait, especially since we're in the final months of being students.

Don't judge these pictures, we were sleep deprived!


A lot of people used this time as social hour to meet and greet. Our fellow tent neighbors stayed up all night playing rock band and other nonsense. We figured we were probably some of the only married people who actually wanted to get some sleep. After all, we were strictly there to get into the game.

A few hours before the game, some of the players came around and talked to the students. They wanted to personally come by and thank all the campers for their dedication. Cami and I were lucky enough to take our picture with Jimmer Fredette and Lamont Morgan.

Enough said...




We are proud to say we made it into the game, and even sat on row 4. We are even more proud that BYU beat Utah by 13. Since beating Air Force tonight, we are the MWC champions three years in a row.

Early Thursday morning, the four of us are meeting Nate's parents, Jason, Amanda and their kids in Vegas for the MWC Tournament. We are quite excited!

We pose the question; at what point are we no longer Zealots, but rather Zoobies? We are yet to answer this question ourselves.
