Changes, Changes, and more Changes

Because Pablo and I have had some major changes in the last few months I decided that I should start blogging again. I know how much my mom would appreciate that! :) Anyway. Pablo and I finally graduated from BYU-Idaho in July and have moved back to Virginia for good. We are both very excited to start this next chapter in our lives. We were both very blessed to recieve good jobs very soon after returning to Virginia. I recieved a full time job at a preschool not far from where we live. I work with some great women, and love being able to teach young children. As for Pablo he recieved a maintance job in DC, he has a little bit of a commute, but he enjoys it. About a month after returning home we recieved some very unexpected news. Pablo and I discovered I was pregnant. We were very surprised, but excited as well! The Hernandez side of the family is going to be welcoming 3 new additions within the next 6 months, and we couldn't be more excited. The Black family has also gained a new addition to our family. Kim was married in October, and we are blessed to have a new brother in our family. I am so grateful for family and the blessing that God has put on this earth to be sealed for all eternity. As our family expands I pray that we can continue traditions, and grow closer all the time. Although I am far from my family, I am grateful for the advances in technology where we can communicate face to face whenever we need too or want too! I love my family! And miss them everyday, but its a blessing seeing them whenever we need too! :)

Happy Valentines Day!!

This Valentines Day weekend has been so much fun. Pablo and I were able to come to Grantsville and spend some time with my family. It was so great because everyone in my family was able to come home for the weekend. Friday night Pablo and I were albe to travel to Payson and see Grandma Maughan, Grandma Great and Grandpa Dale! We had a blast talking to them and hearing fun stories! On Saturday the family, including Grandma Roberts and Uncle Mike and his family got to go to Deseret Star and watch the play Twi-Lite. It was pretty funny and it was Pablo's first time going, he really enjoyed it along with everyone else, we decided that we would come to one every so often because they are so good. That night Pablo and I had our own little date, we went to Rodizio Grill. We always enjoy ourselves when we go there, but always leave way to stuffed! But it was fun to go out and spend some time together for V-day! Sunday we all went to church together and then came home and decorated v-day cookies! I love our family traditions! It was so much fun!! I hope everyone had a wonderful valentines day and know how much I love you all!

3 months have past.....

I decided that I am a horrible blogger! I want to be good at it. So much has happened these last three months, we had Halloween, Thanksgiving and we moved back to ID and started school. I am going into preschool education and I am loving my classes. All but 2 have to do with children and it has been so fun. Pablo is getting closer everyday to graduation. He is so excited!! We are not very fond of the snow here, it has been SO cold. But we have enjoyed being in our new place and decorating it. I work at JB's as a waitress and have enjoyed that. Pablo and I are both trying to get into shape again, we sort of lost it while in VA, but I am doing competitive basketball and I am loving getting back into the sport, although I lost a lot of my skills! HEHE! And Pablo is playing indoor soccer. We both go to cycling every Tuesday and Thursday, so little by little we are getting there! :) So because I haven't posted for so long I have TONS of pictures. So I am just going to let you see an over view of our lives!! :) The pictures kinda go backwards, oh well!

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!
