Highlight of my month a couple days ago. I was leaving a friends house and there kitten somehow snuck inside my car. I was driving down the freeway and almost had a heart attack when it decided to show himself at my feet and scare me half to death. It was late so the kitten was stuck with me for the night! I was so worried cause I knew Steve would kill me when he saw it :) I hid behind our bedroom door when he walked upstairs and I peaked around the corner and told him not to be mad! Then he walked into our room and saw it. I knew right then that he thought it was cute too!
The kitten was an absolute angel the whole night and slept in between us without ever making a sound. It was so much fun having a little heartbeat in our home. Loved the feeling that it brought that night. I hardly slept because I was so afraid I would roll over on it or it would get up and get into something! Such a fun experience. I was sad to give him back, and I know Steve fell in love too. Even tho he will never admit it :)
Just married

Boondocks Date Night
Had a great night at Boondocks the other night! We always love trying to get as much tickets as possible and seeing what prizes we can get with them. Steve figured out the math the other night on how much we actually end up spending and it made us both laugh. We always have such a great time whenever we go there. We ended up spending most of our money on the giant claw machine because Steve is just so good at it! We both get to into it and i swear thats the only thing we go for. We both just love winning. And when we loose, its a sad day. We ended up getting a cute blue monkey with our tickets and Im so happy. He knows I love monkeys so much.
Long Time No See
First off, i have to apologize for how long it has been since I have updated this! Life has been so busy lately and its time to get everyone caught up. Steve and I celebrated our second year being married about 2 months ago. This year has flown by even faster than the last!
Steve has been moving along with work and recently got promoted to being a 4th manager at In and Out! I am so proud of him. Its been a hard road these past couple of months having him gone for training, but its all paid off. He works so hard and continues to be such an inspiration to me every day. I got to attend his graduation from classes along with his parents a couple weeks back. That was amazing being able to see all the hard work he had been putting in and being able to learn more about where life is taking us at this point.
I feel like having Steve gone has been a major test for me. I had been in a rough place not having him around as much, and it was really hard to know what to do with myself. Its so scary how fast everything can change when you loose the spirit within you. I felt so lost and was always so afraid. I am so amazed being able to see first hand how powerful the spirit is, and the wonders that it has done for me as a person. I am so grateful for everything that I have, for everyone that I have in my life. Steve is the most patient and understanding, wonderful, caring, and thoughtful person. I have always known that my Heavenly Father has loved me. I am so grateful for being able to feel his love through every struggle that I have gone through in my life. Steve and I have been so blessed in our lives together, and I look forward to everything left there will be to experience.
We are still loving our apartment here in Kaysville, and our ward is amazing. I love how friendly and involved everyone continues to be. I am still working 2 jobs, and love both of them so much. Mine and Steves schedule has matched up alot more lately and it has been so nice being able to spend time together again and do fun things. We've both gotten sick recently so thats been tough, but thankfully we both havent ever gotten super super sick yet. We both dont do well when the Doctors gets mentioned :)

One Year Later
Steve and I can now officially say that we have been married a whole year! So much has happened. When I look back at how things were a year ago it amazes me at how much can change. Our relationship has grown so much and as the weeks go by I learn so much more!
This reminds me of New Years. I feel like im almost making resolutions for what I want to accomplish by our 2 year. So funny. We are still hoping to move to Kaysville here in the next little while. If everything ends up working out we should be in there soon. Hopefully it will be whats best for us because we are wanting to move closer to work and school.
We love our first home. I will remember it forever! All of the little things we complain about everyday have just made us more humble. I know we will look back and miss it.

waking up
I think my favorite part of the day is waking up in the morning. I love opening my eyes and being able to see steve laying next to me. I feel like my day just starts off better when we wake up together.
Summer is finally here and we are getting some extra hours at work. Which is great, more money! But hard when we cant see each other. Fathers day is tomorrow and we are excited to celebrate out fathers with our families. I am so grateful for my dad. He has been there for me my entire life and I dont know what I would do without him.
My first memories of my dad are when he pretended to be Mufasa from lion king. He would growl at us while we screamed our heads off cause he would tickle us to death. He would always pretend to be some bear or monster at our house at night. Whenever any of us would hear a noise we would hide under our blankets and listen so carefully until he would rip the blanket off and scare us! My brothers and I loved it so much.
Im grateful for my father in law because he raised such a wonderful man. My husband. I love seeing him wrestle with his grandchildren because it reminds me of how my dad did that growing up. He reminds me of so many people in my family and its been fun getting to know him.
Mine and Steves one year is almost a week away and I cant believe it! I went through the temple on the 18th of june last year for the first time with steve, then a week later to be married. I loved my wedding day. It was the best day of my life, other than the day I met steve.

Approaching
Its weird when i start to feel the same feelings I had last year. This exact time was when i was getting ready to be married in a month. All the crazy parts of planning were in play, and all the new stresses in life were starting to reveal themselves. I cant believe how fast this first year we have been together has gone. I remember looking in the mirror and saying out loud to myself, "your getting married today". I remember all the feelings I had at that moment, and everything I was so excited for us to experience in our life together. I loved dating Steve, and I love being married to him even more.
When he first asked me to marry him I remember going inside and wanting to tell my parents but my mom wasnt home! I called her and called her and she would not answer the phone. I ran in and showed my dad and finally got ahold of my mom. She was like "send me a picture of the ring right now!!". Funny how cell phones are such a big part in life right now. What would we do without them? I was running around my front yard like a maniac calling everyone I knew. "IM MARRYING STEVE WINWARD".
And im proud to say that I love being Mrs. Natalie Winward.
Our Big Purchases we have made together this year:
1.) deposit on our apartment
2.) our bed!!!!!
3.) our first car
4.) our t.v
5.) a new computer
6.) our second car
We have come so far together and have learned so much. Life is so much harder than you think it is growing up. I always thought money grew on trees and always hated having to sacrifice never having nice things. I am so thankful for having to learn that growing up. Im able to understand it more now, and learning more everyday.
Steve is so amazing how he handles the money. He figures out what we need to save, and what we can spend. I dont know what I would do without him. He is so smart.
