Everyone has cheesy pics from places that they go on summer vacation. I especially love those crazy road side stops like worlds largest yarn ball next exit. While looking through pictures I came across a classic cheesy pic. Last summer on our way back from Colorado we stopped at four corners. For those of you who live under a rock, or aren't from around these parts that don't know what four corners is... it is the point where Arizona, Utah, Colorado and New Mexico all meet. The only place in the US by the way where four states touch each other. So everybody takes turns going up on the platform and taking silly pictures of being in four places at one time. Here is a pic of Colby and I ( just 5 weeks before we got married) holding hands across state lines. Lame I know but gotta love it =) We totally should have taken a pic by the giant dinosaur we saw last month on our road trip to San Francisco darn maybe next time.

Our First Anniversary! 7-21-08
Wow I can’t believe Colby & I have already been married for a year. Time flies when you are having fun. Monday was our anniversary; we decided to spend it at home since we have constantly been busy and on the go for the past few weeks. I made a candlelit dinner, set the table with the fancy tablecloth and napkins, and we drank from our bride & groom wine glasses. Then we snuggled up on our new couch and watched the 40 Year Old Virgin. Nothing too exciting but it was so nice to have a night to relax and just enjoy each other’s company. We decided not to go with the traditional “paper gift” for the first year. We decided to get a cute little patio furniture set so that once it cools off we can enjoy our balcony. It’s not the best picture but you get the idea.
Below is one of my favorite pictures from our wedding we are standing in the middle of the street and you can see that the street light is green, a car is coming, and the huge monsoon storm clouds are rolling in. Oh sweet memories!

New Stuff Day!!
I'm so excited today is officially new stuff day.
Our new Couch gets delivered today its so comfy I can't wait to lay on it. Its our first major furniture purchase that hasn't come from Ikea. We had this couch from Ikea picked out but just happened to see a Ashley Furniture ad and fell in love with a different one.
Then our dishwasher died a few days ago and the maintenance man brought me a new one today. It is so much quieter than the other one!!
Finally the most exciting new thing is that yesterday all of a sudden our pool was closed and these guys were hard at work building something out there. Turns out we are getting built in Gas grills with built in counters around them to set your stuff on with shade screens over them. No more crappy charcoal grills hooray. As soon as they are done I'm totally having a pool party with a BBQ!!!
YAY for new stuff day. It doesn't take much to excite me.

What the heck is a Nicolby?
So after much nagging from my friend Tanya we finally have a blog so you can hear all of the exciting things going on in the world of Nicolby. Funny story about how we got the name Nicolby... Kyle and Caleb (the boys who were ring bears in our wedding) couldn't remember what my name was when they were younger. They knew that Colby and I were together and so they started calling me Nicolby (part of my name, part of his name) and then eventually started calling Colby that as well. Now that they are older they don't say it anymore but we thought it was cute so I decided to name our blog after it.
