Only a week left...

I Can't believe that I am leaving New York in ONE WEEK! Time has definently flown by and I'm going to miss Kathryn, James, and William like CRAZY! But I am SUPER excited for the fun exciting things coming up! I leave for China in a little less then three weeks. It is going to be a GREAT adventure and I can't wait! Then after China I will officially be back living in Utah, well at least for the next four months! During those four months I FINALLY get to see my family and friends for longer then a week at a time, I really get to start planning my wedding :) , in Feb. I get to come back to NY to visit Nathaniel for 100th night (a celebration up at West Point to celebrate the 100 days until graduation!) and then Nathaniel is coming to Utah in March for spring break...WHICH I am So excited about...It's going to be hard not being able to see him every tuesday night and every weekend, so I'm happy that I get to see him for a week in March..WAHOO!!! And then in May I get to come back to NY for Nathaniel's graduation and the on MAY 30th we are GETTING MARRIED!!! And then the month of June will be crazy...the tuesday following our wedding we will be up in Seattle for an open house up at his house, and then thursday we fly out to ROME and we spend the next 2 1/2 weeks in Europe for our honeymoon!!!! and then we fly home and figure out how we get all of our stuff to Ft. Leanard Wood in Missouri, where we will be until Jan. or Feb. of 2010!!! I Cant wait :)

what did you all think about....

Twilight? So I have to admit that I have never read the book(s) ....YET....but I "dragged" Nathaniel to go see the movie last night, he definently was not excited about it....I told him it was a romance movie (hehehe)....so anyways I just wanted to know what you all thought about the movie?!
I personally LOVED it, I really liked Edward and Bella and Edwards family...... but I wonder if I would have liked it as much if I had read the books first?

SEOUL......

The flight to China got pushed up one day (Jan. 7th)...which means LDS travels is paying for my friend and I to spend a day in Seoul, Korea (where our day lay over is)!!! I am SUPER excited about visiting China and now Korea....only 7 weeks until I leave..WAHOO!!!!

BRANCH NIGHT....

(Nathaniel (engineers), Taylor (infantry), Jeremy (engineers), Marc (military intelligence), and Russ (infantry)!!!!!

NATHANIEL GOT HIS FIRST CHOICE OF BRANCH IN THE ARMY!!!!!

First let me explain.... branch night up at West Point is when the firsties (seniors) find out what branch of the army they get to be in(about two weeks ago they each put in their branch preferences)!!! It was SOOO exciting, Nathaniel was pretty sure that he would get his first choice of branch but you just never know...the anticipation was KILLING me!!! They each received a sealed folder with what branch they got inside of it....BUT....they couldn't open in until they were told that they could....Nathaniel said it was definently a new form of TORTURE!!!!

Nathaniel is now officially in the CORPS of ENGINEERS!!!!! That means we will be at FT Lenard Wood, Missouri for all of his training (after graduation next spring) and in Febuary 2009 we will find out where we will first be stationed after all of his training!!! It is DEFINENTLY very exciting!!!!

Here's a picture from ring weekend (hopefully there will be more to follow...when I get more from mom)!!! For those of you who don't know, ring weekend is when all of the firsties (seniors) at west point receive there class rings!!! I am so excited for Nathaniel and I love the ring that he chose!!! In the picture with us are Christian (Nathaniel's room-mate from last semester) and Rachel (his fiance and my friend)!!!

IT'S BOOKED.......

WAHOO....nathaniel and I booked our cruise for our honeymoon!!! The other day we were looking at cruises (waiting for the Nicoll's relatives to leave so we could carve our pumpkins up-stairs)....and we came across Holland America and really really LOVED one of there cruises!!! WE ARE GOING TO....DRUM ROOOLLLLL....a Ten Day cruise in the Mediterranean!!!!! We are SUPER excited!!! We are leaving from Rome and are going to Italy, Monaca, Tunisia, Balearic Islands, sicily and two other ports in Italy, one in Naples and the other one in Florence/Pisa!!!!
Only 7 More months until our wedding!!! I can't believe how fast time is flying by...it's crazy to think that we have already been engaged for ten months!!!
