Tag: Me and Him



What are your middle names? Mine is Nicole and Pablo's is Daniel


How long have you been together? Well We dated for 2 years before we got married and we have been married for 6 months! So we have been together for 2 1/2 years! Wow that is a long time!


How long did you know each other before you started dating? HAHA! Well Pablo and I met in January 4 days after coming home from his mission, I saw him a couple times at single adult activities from then till like April! He got my number in like March. He didn't ask me out until May, But he was worth the wait.....definitely!!!


Who asked who out? He asked me out....over text I might add.


Whose siblings do you see the most? I do, I have 3 he has 1


Do you have any children together? Not yet, we are thinking in about 2 years.


What about pets? Not yet, we want a dog eventually, I want a Maltese poodle, Pablo wants a mini bull terrier.


Did you go to the same school? Not before we got married. But now that we are married we are going to the same school.


Who is the most sensitive? That would most definitely be me!! I am so much more sensitive compared to him it's not even funny!


Where is the furthest you have ever traveled as a couple? driving from Utah to Virginia, the first time it took 3 days the second time it took 2! It's a fun drive, when I am with my hubby!!


Who has the worst temper? I think it's safe to say that Pablo has the worst temper.


Who does the cooking? Lately I cook more than Pablo does, but when we were in Idaho I would say he did more of the cooking! He would always have dinner ready when I would get home from work! He is so sweet!


Who is more social? I think Pablo is more social. I don't make friends real fast and so because we have been moving around a lot these last few months I haven't been too social!


Who is the neat freak? I think we are both really clean. We have our dirty moments but it never lasts long! We don't like clutter or having a messy house!


Who is the most stubborn? We are actually very equal in this area. We are both very stubborn and it's just hard to ever get either one of us to say we are wrong. We just have to agree to disagree.


Who hogs the bed? It really depends on the night. And we never really have a problem with bed hogging, just blanket hogging.


Where was your first date? For our first date we met up at Potomac Mills. We hadn't seen each other for a couple months, But we met up there, ate at Chilli's and then watched Spider Man 3 with a couple friends. Pablo also bought me a red rose to end the night! It really was a great first date!


Who has the bigger family? Me, I have 6 Pablo has 4


Do you get flowers often? Not really, Pablo has gotten me flowers a couple times, but that really isn't his thing.


Who eats more? Pablo eats more, but that is OK, he is a growing boy! :)


Who sings better? I do, but he tries! =)


Who does the laundry? I do, We usually fold them together, but I get it started. I like doing the laundry.


Who is better with the computer? I would say Pablo, I am not really that good at all.


Who drives when you are together? Pablo for sure. He hates not being in control of the car.


Who picks where you go to dinner? It's usually quite a funny conversation. Pablo starts out by saying, where do you want to eat? I say well I think here or there sounds good, then he says OK, then a few minutes later he says well what about here, and I say yeah that sounds great, then a few minutes later he says somewhere different, and then he just gets so hungry that he goes to the closest restaurant that we talked about! HEHE!


Who is the first one to admit when they are wrong? hmmmm... With both of us being so stubborn it's a rare occasion when either of us admit we are wrong.


Who wears the pants in the relationship? It really depends on the situation, but I think usually it's got to be me! :0


Who eats more sweets? I have no problem admitting I am definitely the sweet tooth.


Who cries more? That would be me! I have only seen Pablo cry a hand full of times, the last being our wedding day.


Who wakes up earlier? ME....Pablo is definitely NOT a morning person.


What's your best day together? I would have to say our wedding day so far! Best day ever!


Where did you honeymoon? We like to say Washington DC


Favorite date night? We don't' really have a date night, we just randomly go out on dates. I love it!


Favorite TV show to watch together? Cake Boss, Ghost hunters, basically any reality TV show! We just love watching TV together, we aren't huge movie people, mostly just TV! But I think Cake Boss is our favorite, Pablo always tells me to call him Buddy when we are baking! HEHE!!!!

Birthday Boy





























October 12th was Pablo's 25th Birthday! For his actual birthday I had to wok in the morning but that night we went to see Toy Story 1 and 2 in 3D. I actually really liked it. I had a blast, that night we also got a call from Grandma Roberts which we appreciated very much. Than on Wednesday which was my day off we went to DC to be tourist for the day, we wanted to walk around to all the monuments but it ended up raining all day, so instead we went to the Washington National Cathedral and the Holocaust museum. They were both very amazing. Although we only got pictures at the cathedral because pictures aren't allowed in the Holocaust museum. After that we went to Olive Garden. It was SO good! I hadn't been there in forever. It is also the season for Pumpkin Cheesecake which is AMAZING!!! ;)
Then on Saturday we had a family party for Pablo. I know it's been his birthday pretty much all week! HEHE! He deserves in though! Anyway everyone came over and we had carne asada and rice and black beans. It was SO delicious! Then we had carrot cake! It was great to hang out with family! And it has been a very fun week! We love you all!!
Also work is going really well for both of us. I just got promoted to full time, that is nice.

Fun weekend!!!

Pablo and I Caricaturized Pablo on a ride I can't go on!!





This Our friends Eddie and Inez with Scooby!
Pablo and I


SO...This weekend was so much fun!! Pablo and I went to Kings Dominion with our friends Eddie and Inez!! We had so much fun! I love going on roller coasters, I used to get really sick but now I don't at all! The only ride I can't get on are those that spin around in circles over and over! That is what gets me sick! My favorite ride of the day was probably the one that goes up 274 feet, or something like and then drops you like 70 mph! It is so fun and crazy!! That is Pablo's favorite ride too! He said it's because It gets his heart pumping the most! FUN FUN FUN!!! It was also VERY hot, so we went on a water ride and with my luck I was the person who was in the WORST spot, I got soaking WET!!!! So I was lucky enough to walk around the park all day with wet jeans, and those are the worst!! HEHE! We also got our pictures drawn! That was very fun, Pablo looks like a monkey! HEHE!! I think Adam can do a better job, but we got it drawn for half off! Anyway, I had a blast and it was good to get out and about with my husband and friends!




On another good note I FINALLY got a job! I am working at Harris Teeter! It's a grocery store and very busy! I am excited to get started! Love you all!

Long time Coming
























































































































So I said I would get better at this, but apparently I was wrong. But I have finally decided to update my blog. Pablo and I are now in Virginia until December. I love Virginia, and I love being around family. But I do miss my own family as well!















So Pablo and I moved from Idaho on July 23rd. Before we headed to Virginia we were able to go to Grantsville and spend some time with my family. While we were in Utah we went to Blanding for a family reunion with my moms family. Pablo really enjoyed meeting everyone and I was excited to be around family. When we passed through Moab on the way to Blanding we were able to go through Arches National Park. It was so amazing, as far as I can remember I can't ever remember going there and I was so excited to go with Pablo for his first time. Also on the way home we were able to go to Dead Horse Point. It was so cool. We were so high. While we were up there in was raining and overcast! Because we were so high we had electric shocks when we were holding metal or something, it was so crazy, The girls also had there hair standing straight up from the static electricity. I was so glad that I was able to spend time with my extended family and sisters and parents, I had a blast.















Once we got back to Grantsville Pablo and I were able to spend a couple of days with the family. But on Tuesday we had to leave for Virginia, I was so excited to spend some quality time with Pablo, but I was not looking forward to the long drive. Luckily we made it really fast. Pablo did very well with driving and stayed awake for over 24 hours. He was really looking forward to getting home. :) We were a little worried at the start of our trip that we would get rain, luckily we didn't get any for the majority of our trip, but about 4 am on the day we were getting home we did get some rain. So we had to stop on the side of the road and started to put the tarp on our luggage, as soon as we were done and on our way, IT STOPPED RAINING!!! We had a good laugh at that! It was pretty funny.















Once we got to Virginia we got right on looking for jobs. Pablo started his internship and we got all settled in our new lives. It has been wonderful. We have been able to go golfing with the cousins and we have also been able to go to a soccer game. I have had so much fun! I am also going to put up pictures. Love you all!

The last month!




THe Beautiful I.F. Temple











So I have been horrible at staying on my blog! I really want to keep this updated! Especially because I don't get to see my family that often! This last month has been fun though! one really fun and memorable thing we did was going to Idaho Falls and going to the Titanic museum! It travels around the states, and I was really excited to go! At the beginning we were able to get a name, and after we went through the whole museum we got to see if out person lived or died! We both lived.!! I loved how seeing how a lot of things from the movie are true. After the museum we went to the green belt and walked around the beautifully river and saw the temple! It was such a great day!
For the 4th of July I had to work. But luckily I was able to get to watch some of the parade because it went right in front of JB's! It reminded me so much of Grantsville's parade, you know, all the small town comapany floats and the school bands! I loved it, but it also made me miss Grantsville! Grantsville 4th of July's were the very best! While I was at work Pablo was able to go to lava hot springs with some missionary friends! I wish I could have gone but Iknow he had a really fun time and I am glad he wasn't stuck at home. Once I got off work Pablo and I got ready to head to Idaho Falls for "the best fireworks west of the mississippi"!! HEHE! That's what we heard anyway. Actually, they were very impressive, I just wish I would have thought to take a camera, but I left it in my car! Not the best move! THere were so many people there, it was insane! But I had fun, and we got out of the traffic alive!
Pablo and I are moving back to VA for a few months in 2 weeks, so I had to give my 2 weeks notice to JB's! I was so nervous, because I have really grown to love everyone I work for, especially my bosses, and I didn't want to disapoint them. Luckily the were very supportive and even told me that I had a job when I got back from VA. I was so greatful!
Pablo is doing very well in school, but is so excited to be done with this semester, it's been pretty tough. He has finals in a week, and then he will be finished.
We will be going back to Grantsville for a few days to spend time with my family. We are also going to Blanding for a reunion, I am so glad to show Pablo my roots! :) Then we are driving the LONG 3 day drive to VA. We are both excited to be going though!
We also got our wedding pictures back a couple weeks ago! We were so excited, I will show some of my favs!!!

Not a little Girl Anymore










So my family and I have this thing, because Kim and Goo are the youngest of the family we have gotten in the habit of always calling them "THe Little Girls"! Even now that they are older they are still the little girls! But this last Tuesday I got to go to Grantsville and see my little sister graduate high school! I couldn't believe it! She is so grown up, I don't feel that old and I still see her as my little tiny blonde haired little girl sister! But I am excited for her! She is excited to be done with the drama of high school! HEHE! It was alot of fun to spend some time with my family! Although I missed my husband like no other, it was the first time we spent apart since we were married! And I didn't like it at all! i wish he could have gone with me! I also got to see mari! She is doing fabulous and I loved being able to talk girl talk with her! I can't wait to spend some time with my family again! But this time I am going to take my husband with me! Love you all! It was so fun to have all of the siblings together! THey are the best!!!

A fun Thursday!!



So yesterday was a very fun day! After work Pablo and I headed to the gym! And let me tell you I have been slacking off way bad at the gym lately but yesterday I worked my butt off! Well not really.....It might take a few more trips to the gym in order to work it all off! HEHE! Anyway, My legs have been hurting all day today, but I love it! It's a good hurt! So back to my way fun day yesterday! After the gym Pablo made me a fabulous dinner! We wanted to grill some chicken! But we don't have the money to buy a grill right now! So we just baked it! It was still so good though! After dinner we went to our friends house, Samm and Toby! I had a blast! We played the game Settlers of Catan! It was so much fun! Pablo and I took last place but it was still alot of fun! Around 11:30 Pablo and I came home and thought we would have a little snack before bed, well we got a little out of control! HEHE! It was the best night! I had so much fun!

Summer is here!

So....Nothing too excited has happened the last few days! I have been working like crazy because of the long weekend and tons of high school graduations around here, but it's fine! I really like my job! Anywho, I got home from work today and Pablo and I went to a ward party! It wasn't anything to special, but we got to play outside and have Popsicles. Pablo and I played kickball! Boys against girls! But the weather is beautiful and I love being in it!! It was a lot of fun hanging out with other couples and getting to know our ward better!!

Sick and Wrong!!

So I really didn't want to put this up! But Pablo thinks it's so funny and gross that he thinks it's something that should be put on a blog! Anyway, so Pablo and I were getting ready to head to the gym, and out of no where he sees a pimple on my stomach, it was really gross, but he wanted to pop it, I know this is really gross! Anyway, he proceeded to pop this really gross pimple, and when it finally popped it was so ready that the puss came flying out and it hit Pablo right on his glasses! So that is when I fell to the ground in laughter! It was quite funny! But totally disgusting at the same time! Pablo started freaking out in discust, but later laughed about it as well! Anyway, Pablo thought that would be something worth putting on a blog! Hope all is well everyone!

WIND!!!

So today was my one day off for the week! It was well needed. I got to clean my house and relax. But that isn't why I am writing this blog.....I just want to vent about living in Idaho. Oh my goodness, today was the worst weather I could ever imagine....ok maybe I am be over dramatic. But the wind here is miserable!! It got up to 60 miles per hour today, and I did my hair so cute, it didn't stay that way for long!! UGH!! HEHE! I just have to keep telling myself that it's the best living in Idaho, because I am with the man I love, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else! :) Ok that was my vent for the week! it was good to get out!! I just hope we get some nice calm sunny days here soon! I really want to go camping and play outside!

Cinco De Myo

So tonight Pablo and I went to a ward party for cinco de myo! I was a little nervous because we just started going to this ward on Sunday and so we really don't know anybody very well! But I had a blast. The people are so easy to talk too! We sat at a table where one of the guys went to Mexico for his mission, so him and Pablo were able to talk about food and stuff like that! And I just kept conversation with everybody! There was also a salsa contest, so Pablo and I made some salsa before the party and were very confident we would do well! The salsa was delicious, but so were alot of the salsa's that were brought! We didn't win a prize...:( ! HEHE! It's ok! THey also had a pinata, although it only got through about 4 people before it was broken open, and then there was a mad rush to the candy! After the pinata we played an intense game of musical chairs, Pablo and I actually did really well, we also got out at the same time! Ey Ey Ey!! HEHE! But we had a blast, I wish I had pictures to show! We met a couple who were from Maryland, so Pablo had a lot to talk about with them, we plan on getting together this Saturday! I am super excited! I am really glad that we are meeting married couples and making friends! I have never done anything for cinco de myo and I am happy to say that this was an awesome way to start my cinco de myo tradition! HEHE!

Family Home Evening!

This is our finished product, they were AMAZING, says Pablo!! :)
There's me getting the cookies ready!!

And Pablo stealing some cookie dough, but so did I, I just didn't get caught! HEHE!



My Husband loving on me, with my green mouth because of the sprinkles!


And before the oven.....these pictures are a little backwards! HEHE!




So tonight Pablo and I had our first official family home evening. It wasn't anything to planned out! But I thought it was a great way to spend time together and do something we both love! To start off the evening we went to the gym! I ran 3 and a half miles, but afterward my face was a tomatoe sort of red and my heart was pounding really bad, I tried to rest and see if everything would calm down, but it wouldn't go away, so we were only able to spend about an hour at the gym! But even though I got all flushed, I felt I had a great workout! When we got home we had a delicious meal we made together of shrimp and rice, we did amazing if I do say so myself!
Then the best part.....the refreshments! I know kinda contradictive after going to the gym to have dessert....but what is family home evening without dessert??? So together we made sugar cookies! It was so much fun! I always have a blast with my husband and love being married to someone I can laugh and play with!!!

Sunday, May 3, 2009

So Pablo and I went to our new ward today! I am in love with it already. The people are so nice and welcomed us with open arms! It was so much fun and full of the spirit! This Tuesday there is a ward party for cinco de Myo, Pablo and I are so excited because they are having a salsa contest, the food not the dance and we are going to do it and win first place! :) The top 3 winners get some kind of gift certificates! We love our gift certificates! HEHE!
We also had a great surprise when we saw shawn and emily johnson at our ward today! We were coming out of a class and there they were! It was so good to see them! Although they aren't in out ward they attend the same building at the same time! So we exchanged phone numbers and plan to get together soon! There little boy is getting so big! They live just down the street from us! All in all we had a great day! I can't wait to start getting involved with our new ward and recieving our callings! It will be so much fun!
For dinner today we made rice and shrimp! It was so delicious! Pablo and I cook alot together and I love it! It brings us closer everytime! It's always the little things that count!

Friday, April 24, 2009

So I am not very good at doing these kind of things, mostly because I just don't get how to do it! But I want everyone to know how Pablo and I are doing.
Well this last week has been insane! I can't believe it's only been 2 weeks since we got married! Pablo started school on Monday and is already swamped with homework! I try to help him every way I can! I just started my new job yesterday, it's fun, but alot to get used too! The last week Pablo and I haven't had any furniture, except a bed, but today we were able to by a table and it's so nice to have something to eat on! I love it!! It's been so much fun putting our little apartment together!! All in all I love being married! It's so amazing waking up every morning next to my husband, my eternal companion! He is my best friend and I love being with him day and night! I love you all and miss you tons! I hope we can all get together soon!!!
