Spreken Ze Deutch?

I can't believe I haven't blogged about this yet but Brandon and I are going to Germany in November!!!! Whooohooo! Brandon served his mission there and we really really wanted to go back and visit so we finally just took the plunge a couple of months ago and bought tickets! I am so excited to go and I feel like I'm going to a whole other world (imagine me breaking out into the song "A whole new world") We are just going to do all the fun tourist stuff. We are going to stay with some of his old companions too just to save on some money. I'm not sure what our whole trip is going to entail, but I'm excited. Plus Brandon already knows the language and the area so that'll save us a ton of time standing there trying to communicate with people or figuring out what place is where. November seems like forever away but we are getting closer! It's only like 6 more months! We will be there over Thanksgiving, which sucks, but it was the cheapest price we could find and Brandon will only end up missing like 3 days of school instead of a whole week. I had a "nicole moment" with Brandon (he get's a lot of those, poor guy) I asked him "Well why don't we celebrate Thanksgiving with one of your companions over there?" and he so nicely put his arm around me and said "Cause, babe, they don't celebrate Thanksgiving over there." Right...I knew that! ha..ha. Anyways, we are thrilled and can't wait to go!

This is the castle that they modeled the disneyland castle from and yes we are totally gonna go see it!

Accident Prone

I thought I'd just do quick post about my cutie husband, who indeed is ACCIDENT PRONE!! i first realized this while we were engaged when he managed to cut 2 of his fingers off while cutting wood where he used to work. It also happen to be around the time that we got out bridals taken, so in every few photos you can see the bandages, as shown here in this picture:

And yes of course one of the fingers so happen to be his ring finger.
Then 3 weeks after we were married, he got into a motorcycle accident and much to my relief wasn't seriously hurt. We haven't had any serious accidents since then but he did have a rough last couple of days. It started on saturday when he was working on our car and managed to hit himself in the lip with the wrench and gave himself a fat lip. Then on Monday he had an exceptionally hard day when he got his finger nail caught on our bed frame and bent it backwards enough to where it bled!!! That one hurt me just thinking about it! Then my favorite was later that night when we were throwing a frisbee around in our backyard. With my expert frisbee throwing skills, I threw it over the fence into our neighbors yard. So without hesitation, Brandon jumped over the fence to retrieve it. He lept over the fence and landed right on a cactus! I felt so bad for him!! Needless to say, our frisbee game was cut short. Moral of the story: Look before you leap!!! Here's a photo of him trying to get all the needles out of his foot. I wish I got a picture of it before he took all the needles out, but I wasn't thinking "hey what a photogenic opportunity!" lol

I sure love my accident prone hubby...but I wish he'd be a little more careful!!!

Happy Birthday to me!

Yesterday was my...dun dun dun..23rd birthday!!! Yeah, that seems so old to me but that's probably cause I still feel like a teenager. It was all in all a good day. Didn't really do anything too spectacular. I went to work (blah) and came home and went to Olive Garden with my family since it was also my brothers birthday too. After dinner we went to my parents and had some cake and then went over to my other parents house (brandon's parents) and just sat and talked for a while. Then we came home and relaxed and watched "August Rush", dang good movie. Yay for birthdays!
