Anniversary, Christmas, Zak's 1st Birthday....Woa I'm behind!

So I haven't posted since Halloween! Holy moly am I slow at getting stuff posted. Well a lot has been going on with us. Nate has finished his intership and has applied for a job in Salt Lake with a company called ARUP (i think)... He had a phone interview and we're hoping he gets another. We think moving to SLC would be a fun adventure, plust he'd work 7 days on then 7 days off which would be nice for me to have him home so much. They also pay for him to do more school and have full benefits. So keep us in your prayers that this works out! =)

My grandma and her husband, Roger came along with my mom's brother Rick with his wife and son. It was so fun to see them all and also have my sister Amy and her husband Mike in town. The whole family was at my parents and we had a lot of fun with everyone. We did dinner with both my family and then Nate's family so we definitely got stuffed! My uncle took a bunch of pictures then so I will post them when we get them back from him.

December 23rd Nate and I had our 2nd wedding anniversary. Nate surprised me with a super cute new dress and some awesome black patent leather heels. Such good taste... We went to the temple and then stayed at a cool hotel in Boise minus Zakary. Our first night in year without Zak... It was so relaxing! We checked into the hotel as soon as possible and had planned to go out to a nice dinner but decided to have chinese food delivered and just watch movies and hang out in our hotel room in sweat pants all evening and night baby-free. It was so nice. Zak stayed with my (Amber's) parents and did awesome without us. They said he slept through the night and did great. Although it was so nice to have a little getaway...we were pretty excited to come home to the little guy and see how excited he was to see us.

Christmas Eve was spent with my parents and then most of Christmas day was spent at Nate's parents. Zak got a bunch of new cars, balls, a fire truck, clothes, a cart, a little church outfit, and books. He loved his cars and balls. He drives his cars around and says "brrrrrr". And he loves to throw the ball to people, then they give it back and he'll walk away and throw it to them again over and over.

For his first birthday (January 6th) we had people over for dinner and cupcakes. He got more stuff and was spoiled rotten and didn't even know it. haha I think the parties are more for the excitement of the parents.

Anyway we had an amazing year and are very blessed to have such an amazing family.
