Valentine's, Birthday, Life!

So, I haven't written a post in a while, but here is what's been going in our lives lately!
Nick: he has been super busy with school, and recently got a job reffing little kids' sports games!  It is the perfect job for him; he is such a sports fanatic. ;)
Kyla: work, work, work! That's basically my life! :) I actually really enjoy staying busy and we're both really looking forward to moving into our new home!  We find out pretty soon when the move in date is and we're so excited!  We love that it is located in Springville.  It is right down the street from a new Wal Mart which will definitely be beneficial!

Valentine's day was amazing!  I woke up and made Nick breakfast at 8 am and surprised him when he got home from class.  Waiting for him were pancakes, eggs and bacon & a basket of his favorite goodies.  He LOVED it and he was so happy!  Men love their food :) He then turned around and surprised me when I got home from my days errands, with flowers & chocolates, and our bed was covered in mini candy bars, and laying on my pillow was a cute heart necklace :) We then went to PF Changs for dinner!  It was a wonderful first Valentine's day for us. :)

my birthday was absolutely amazing too!  I woke up and Nick had breakfast made for me, my all time favorite chocolate chip pancakes :) I had work early and so he woke up at 7 am to make me breakfast!  I then went in to work, and at around 10, I see Nick walk in with balloons, hot chocolate and a cupcake :) I was so excited and surprised to see him! After work, I came home and he gave me my present, then we went to Cheesecake Factory for dinner.  Overall, it was a great birthday :)

I wanted to upload pictures of the inside of our home! I wanted to do a before and after, to see what it looked like before and then after we have decorated all of it!

this is the front of the house!

this is the porch area!  I love it! :)

This is the fire pit in the back yard!  Nick loves this :)

This is the big park located directly to the right of the house!  Our fence has an opening to it from our back yard so we can go play at the park!

This is the entry way of the house.  I love the hardwood floors!

Here is the family room!  We want to redecorate and paint the whole thing.  Instead of putting a big furniture piece on the back wall, we want to add more seating and put the TV on the wall facing the furniture piece.

Here is the kitchen!  I love the granite counter tops and the cute barstool seating.  I also love the green pantry door! (It has a lock on it for little ones who try to sneak into the pantry) :)

here is the master bedroom; the bed they put in there is absolutely ridiculously huge! So in reality it isn't that cramped looking!

here is the master bathroom! I love the 2 sinks, high counter tops and walk-in closet!

second bedroom for guests and such

second bathroom upstairs!

unfinished basement, finished after we get back from summer sales: downstairs there is a big family area that we are going to decorate into a theater room and game room.  There is also a place for built in desks for Nick and I.  We are also going to add a kitchen downstairs so that when my family comes to visit, they will have their own kitchen.  There are two more bedrooms downstairs & lots of storage space!

Life is wonderful for us right now.  Marriage is a wonderful thing and I am so excited that every day I get to come home to my best friend.  There is absolutely nothing better. :)
