Happy New Computer Day!

Joslyn here,

Nate ordered some stuff to make our computer super fast and better (and I'm sure he will explain it all much better than I) and he's been so excited for when it was to be delivered. He instructed me to not leave the house in case the mailman came and we weren't there to accept it and had to go find it at the post office. He had been talking about it for days so I really didn't want to mess it up and I sat in the living room from 7:00 am to 11:00 am checking the doorstep every hour and getting up to look outside any time I heard a sound. At about 11:20 I got a knock on the door and voila! A package for Nate!

Relieved and jazzed that I could finally leave the house and go to the store for a roll of quarters to do laundry, I took a few extra dollars and decided to really make this day special for Nate. I bought balloons and a chocolate cake mix and wrote Happy New Computer Day! and Happy Nerd-Day! on the balloons and taped them all over the walls. I also made a home-made pizza.

When he got home he was really excited and tore open that package like it was a present on Christmas. He then spent 6-7 hours working on the computer. I was able to pull him away a couple times for pizza and cake but other than that he worked on that thing from 4:00-11:30.

Silly Nate :) In the meantime I sewed curtains and pillows! Pictures to come. :)

The Story...

Nate and Joslyn met in September of 2011 on a mudding trip. Two of Nate's high school friends asked two of Joslyn's roommates to go mudding then later his friends asked him and her friends asked her neither knowing the other would be there, and both thinking they'd be the fifth wheel.
When Joslyn first saw Nate she was so relieved to have someone to ride with that she didn't care that she had never met him, she just ran to his car and called dibs. Nate found Joslyn to be cute, weird... but cute. Joslyn found Nate to be a bit of a punk, fun... but a punk. And so their friendship was born. Soon they're circle of friends became inseparable. However, Joslyn found Nate to be rather annoying after he told her that her joke wasn't funny. She refused to sit by him and didn't like him coming over all the time. Later she discovered that it wasn't him that said it, so she cut him some slack.

Joslyn invited Nate to attend an institute choir class. He gave in and went because she was cute. They're friendship continued to develop when the choir director mentioned auditions for a duet. Joslyn thought through the class and decided Nate was the best candidate so she wrote him a note asking him to duet with her. Again he complied because of her cuteness.

Joslyn being the flirt she was used her wiles and mentioned how badly she wanted a pumpkin pie for her upcoming birthday. Nate being such a romantic took on the task of making two pies, one he delivered to her, the other he shared with his roommates.

A few days later, on 11-11-11 he asked her out to h0t chocolate, from seven-eleven. Needless to say the date went well because the next night he kissed her, and she kissed him back.
One June 16, 2012 they were sealed in the Draper Temple for time and all eternity.

He works I.T. at Deseret Mutual Benefit Administrators, and she studies Interior Design at LDS Business College and is a devoted homemaker (Computers and Aprons).
This is our life.
