Update ;)
Sorry this update is a little late we have to get use to the blogging life. The appointment with the priest went very well it was funny because Father Paul made us fill out a questionnaire with him one at a time and asked us interesting questions. He requires that we go to newlywed classes, one is a couples re treat where the ladies and gents are separated that should be interesting but fun. We are planning on going to Dillon this weekend because one of Brandon's good friend's father passed away. While in Dillon we will be talking to Mama Suse and Papa Tom about reception ideas for Dillon we are excited to start planning with them. Take Care Nat & B

Back from Hawaii with a tan & great wedding ideas
Natalie just returned from Hawaii, She had a great time and was a bridesmaid in a family friends wedding. She came back extremely excited with plenty of wedding ideas to keep us busy for the next couple months! I think she was even more excited to come home and see that i had cleaned the house and wash and folded all of her laundry :) Other then that we have been busy with work and wedding planning. I'm actually leaving in a few hours to head to MT for the weekend. Going to Dillon tonight then over to Bozeman with my parents to see my Ryan, Kiyomi and Boston. I hope everyone is doing well and I promise that we will update the blog more.

Bye for now, Nat & B

Snowmobiling With Uncle Brandon
Hi Everyone, Brandon beat me to the punch with updating the blog.. ;) I wanted to share some photos from President's/Valentines day/ Susie's Birthday weekend in Teton Springs. For those of you who don't know Teton Springs is my ABSOLUTE favorite place to visit... You can snowmobile and ski in the Winter and bike and Hike in the Spring and Summer. There was finally quite a bit of snow there and we had multiple sunny days perfect for snowmobiling. Although we missed family members that couldn't make it up this trip we had such a fun time with Brandon's family.We were able to all have a great time celebrating Susie's (Brandon's mom's) Birthday and Valentine's day. While we were there the kids talked Uncle Brandon into taking them snowmobiling. Brandon being the great Uncle that he is was so excited to take them all on a snowmobiling adventure, he even bundled up little Casch. Brandon is so much fun to watch snowmobiling he use to race snowmobiles before he moved to Utah. (Something I wish I was around for so I could have watched and cheered him on!!) I think the kids had a lot of fun with Uncle Brandon he taught Cortney how to drive her own snowmobile and gave Austin pointers on how to ride the jumps. Not to mention he was there to dig them out of the powdery snow whenever they got stuck!! What a great time we all had! We hope everyone had a great Valentine's day!

XOXO

We are Back..

Hello everyone doesn’t the blog look fabulous. Thank you to Brandon and his wonderful computer abilities he is quite the Husband and handy man!We have a lot to catch up on so expect a lot of blog entries these next few days. It was such a delight to see all of our family and friends in the month of August. Our wedding is a day we will never forget it could not have been more perfect. Our reception in Park City was fabulous we added a tab on the side of wedding pictures for everyone to view. We cannot believe all the friends and family that came from all over to witness our special day and to join in our celebration of love. It was so much fun and time flew way too fast. I wish that time would have passed slowly or could have just stood still so I could have grasped on to all the memories in detail a bit more.  Our wedding truly is a day we will always cherish and hold dear to our hearts. We are so blessed to have each other and such wonderful family and friends in our lives. Thank you again to both the Bramlette and Cruz families for helping our dream wedding come true.  We absolutely could not have had such a stunning wedding with out you all, it was in our eyes the most beautiful perfect day.


A LOOK INTO MY THOUGHTS; As I was sitting high above parked on the hill waiting in might I add the golf cart my dad had rebuilt for this special occasion watching for when it was my turn to walk down the isle. I was filled with the feeling of accomplishment and gratification, I could not have been more excited to be united with my soul mate and love of my life. I have never loved or cared for anyone (other then my family) like I do Brandon. As I was sitting high above anxiously awaiting the beginning of my new journey in life so tickled that I was about to have my best friend and love of my life always by my side forever and ever. I had the most amazing talk with my father one I will never forget. I will always be thankful for the wonderful life my mom and dad gave me I could not have been raised in a better house where family, faith, values and importance of love was always an important virtue one, which I will raise our family by. Once I started walking down the isle noticing all my loved ones near by I was drawn to the look of blissfulness Brandon had on his face it was so special to see him so excited happy and ready to take my hand in marriage. We were both anxious to make the vow and to exchange the rings that would symbolizes our love and fidelity for one another forever and ever. I also loved dancing the father daughter dance it was awesome to have his brother (my uncle Anthony) sing our song.. Another memory that I loved more was dancing mine and Brandon’s first dance the feeling of love and laughter is just one of the things we share together. We also both enjoyed the toasts that were given by our father’s, maid of honor and best man, it was so nice to hear the old memories and good advice they shared with us. We definitely wish we could have visited more with the family and friends that took the special trip to Salk Lake hopefully we can all be reunited soon.

The Montana reception came towards the end of August and we both were extremely excited to celebrate our wedding again.  I was mostly excited to have my family visit the wonderful town where Brandon grew up, there’s something special about the quaintness of the town I love.  Tom and Susie Brandon’s parents threw us such a beautiful reception at the Beaverhead Country Club Golf Course. Although, the weather was chilly it didn’t stop everyone from coming to celebrate our marriage. We had so much fun setting everything up, dancing and eating. I particularly enjoyed meeting everyone Brandon grew up with. I met everyone from his old babysitter to his first grade teacher to even his favorite high school wood shop teacher it was a pleasure to meet such special people that has such an impact on Brandon. I was also very flattered with how many people were there, I couldn’t believe how many people the Bramlette’s are friends with. I am so blessed to have married into such a loving and caring family.  Susie and Tom couldn’t have planned a more perfect celebration in honor of us. Thank you for all the time, effort and love you put into the celebration Brandon and I really enjoyed our selves and appreciate everything you did to make the celebration such a success and special night.

Honeymooning…. I think soon! Right after the wedding we were not swift away on a honeymoon get away. We actually were planning on going to Montana for Brandon’s cousin Whitney’s wedding but regretfully did not end up making it. We went straight back to work. We had two weeks before we had to be in Montana for our reception so we decided to move all my stuff into Brandon’s house. It was fun trying to find spots for all my trinkets. Brandon was so good about making me enough room in the closet bathroom and just everywhere or anywhere I needed. It was amazing how much junk we discovered we both owned. So we decided to pack up stuff we were both not using to take to Susie’s annual garage sale. (I will have to blog about that separately). Once I settled into our new house we were preparing for the next celebration. One thing I realized is that we are always on the go and we love spontaneity. We have done a lot since we have been married pretty much all but plan a honeymoon we are hoping to go when it is cold and snowy here so we can escape to somewhere with good weather. Does anyone have any good suggestions?


Well, I think this blog entry is quite lengthy stay tuned for entries of some of the trips we have taken, Susie’s garage sale, home improvement projects, Halloween decorating, birthday celebrations and stories of our newlywed life together.

Also, Please take a look at our wedding video and pictures if you haven't already.

Xoxo Nat & B

Teton Springs
Food.. Four Wheel Rides.. Friends & Fun
Last Month we were able to spontaneously get away for the weekend to one of my favorite places, Teton Springs in Driggs Idaho. The weather was absolutely perfect the sun was shining and the air was nice cool and crisp. We invited one of my girl friends (Michelle) and her boy friend (Tyler), It was nice to spend time with good company. As we were on our four wheel ride we ran into a few individuals who were shooting guns, they were so nice they asked if we wanted to join them.. Being that I have never shot a gun before Brandon insisted I try. It was so much fun, who would of thought that hitting that little bright orange ceramic pigeon would be such a rush of excitement.  After we spent a couple hours with our new friends we decided to finish our four wheeling ride and invited them all over for dinner. Brandon Barbecued for us and we spent the night playing Apples to Apples but don't think that's all we did... we did manage to take a trip to our favorite hole in the wall bar, The Knotty Pine. Boy were Michelle and Tyler in for a treat! Even though it was such a short get a way it was nice to have a little break and I am looking forward to going back already! We hope everyone is having a great week! Where's your favorite get away spot?

Garage Sale!
Last Month Susie had her annual garage sale in Dillon. Now let me get you straight right off the bat her garage sale's aren't like any ordinary sales. She has the cutest pieces of furniture that she fixes up making them all look like brand new shabby chic, one of a kind pieces. Along with all the furniture and old treasures she also has boxes and boxes full of items that she has ordered from online stores that she has never even opened or used. This particular garage sale created a lot of hype because she hadn't had one in over 3 years. Susie needed a few extra hands so Brandon and I decided to drive to Dillon to help out, we also decided to whisk Austin, Brandon's nephew out from school to join us for our quick trip. The week prior to the garage sale Brandon and I decided to drive around Holladay looking for treasures we could take down to sell at Susie's sale and we ended up with this awesome fireplace. We bought it for $40.00 and sold it for $80! Talk about a home-run! Before I get side tracked I want to talk about the extensity of this Garage Sale. Prior to the sale Susie puts Ads in the newspaper, down almost every busy street and at the college not to mention she even places radio ads, so you could just imagine how many people were there. We unfortunately got out of town late because my parents had given us a table and some other items to sale (thanks Mom, Dad & Will) so we were picking up last minute items which led us to miss the huge opening rush. Story has it that there were cars and people lined up for miles. She was pretty much cleaned out with "garage sale junkies" pulling her in every which direction arguing and battling over her items. Just imagine what your favorite stores are like on black friday now take that and times it by 50! Despite all the craziness the view of our big truck and trailer were enough to get people wanting to come back the next day. People were so curious of what we had they started helping themselves  to our trailer. We definitely had a tough time making people wait till the next day to purchase our goods so we could unload and price everything. It was nice to clean house and make extra money from it, we ended up leaving Dillon $800.00 richer, and the time we all got to spend with Mama Suse was priceless. The best part of the trip was seeing how dedicated Austin was to helping out and we both definitely got a kick of how many people returned for all 3 days that the sale was going on, there truly are what they call "garage sale junkies" out there! Hopefully we will return next year with more fun stuff to sell there's nothing like seeing people so excited to buy things for such a good deal! Oh I didn't mention Chloe came down with us and had the time of her life. The last night we were there we got to stay at the cabin which is her absolute favorite place to run around as well as Austin's favorite place to shoot BB's with his Grandpa. The Fall colors at the cabin were breathtaking we all were sad to leave.

Below is a picture of Austin & Chloe in the truck on the way home they were both sleeping because they were so wiped out from such a fun trip! I wish I would have had my camera so I could have documented all the chaos and the beautiful views from the cabin. Thank you Mama Suse and Papa Tom for letting us help out, we all had a blast!

Home Improvement Projects!
my husband is quite the handy man...
A few weeks ago Brandon decided to do a little bit of fixer uppers around the house! He is so creative when it comes to home projects, this is something I absolutely adore about him. :) The first project he worked on was to add garage hinges to the garage door.. see before and after pictures below. It is amazing what clean up and added hinges can do to an out dated garage.  It looks brand new! Later that day He came home with a "surprise" from home depot. He handed me a red paint chip card and everything you could possibly need to paint your whole house red. (he sometimes gets a little carried away at Home Depot)  I am sure if we had endless amounts of money he would purchase everything in the store. He set out all his paint accessories and started to paint our front door red. It looked like a lot of work but he never seems to not surprise me and finished the door that same day! The door also turned out perfect, he is such a great husband and handy man! He also put a few dimers on some of our light switches, which I haven't gotten any pictures of. It was funny listening to him switch out the light switches because he kept electrocuting  himself while switching out the switches. ( i kept secretly laughing at him) I always love to see what he will come up with next. :) Enjoy all the before and after pictures below. Unfortunately the before photos are really blurry because we didn't think about taking any till after the fact so we had to dig some up.

xoxo Nat & B

Halloween Decorating & Celebrating

I was so excited to be able to decorate for my first Holiday living together, especially since Halloween and Fall time is my favorite time of year. I honestly am just a big fan of the Holidays and decorating in general. We got a head start and started our decorating at the end of September.  You could only imagine the excitement in my eyes when Brandon told me that he would meet me to pick out Halloween decorations. I do have quite a bit of decorations but being that i never have had to decorate a house for Halloween and I have only had small area to decorate in my apartment, it was a must do to visit my favorite home store. So that day Brandon met me at Home Goods, Home Goods is such a great place to find any house ware item and holiday decorations, did i mention everything costs a fraction of the price. We got a little carried away but we had so much fun picking things out that we just could control ourselves. We made a couple more stops before heading home, one being Joann's craft store and the other being the dollar store. Brandon has such great ideas and we were able to take even a few of our old things and turn them into Halloween master pieces. We always have so much fun together it doesn't matter what we are doing. On to our Halloween Celebrations... being that Halloween was on a Sunday we spent Saturday night celebrating with the kiddos,Ma Ma Suse came into town to celebrate with us. We started this weird tradition last year of turning JT's front yard into a scare factory. We had a billion fog and strobe lights and we all got done up in some sort of mask or Zombie make up. It was really cold this year so there wasn't too many kids out. In my opinion I think the combination of roaming freaks and zombies with loud blaring music , was enough to scare them all away. It was so nice to have Mama Suse in town it's always tough to say goodbye. On Sunday, since we decorated the house we decided to have a get dinner party with my friends.  I made Monster Balls and Spaghetti Brains with a few spooky treats. It was so much fun to see everyone in their costumes, I however was cooking all day and ran out of time to think of a costume, I should start being more prepared. Brandon didn't even wait till the last guest left to take down all the decorations I guess next year we will wait a little to put them up so he won't be to in a hurry to  get them down. The best surprise of all was that Brandon surprised me the next week with Fall decorations for the house, his theory for taking down the Halloween decorations so fast was that we didn't have enough time for the Fall/ Thanksgiving decorations to be up. Brandon always knows just how to put a smile on my face! I have added some of the decoration, Halloween spooking and dinner get together pictures below. I will post tomorrow about my wonderful birthday celebrations.

Happy Birthday to ME Happy Birthday to Mary...
Happy Birthday to US!
I am so lucky to have such an amazing sister and best friend. It's amazing that we share such a special day together. My Dad and Mom were always so adamant about throwing us big birthday bashes when we were younger. Growing older makes you miss all the fun things that came along with birthday's when you were younger like the ponies, clowns, a bazillion balloons that would fill the house and of course our matching birthday outfits.  I think I definitely take for granted how lucky I am to be able share my birthday with my big sis and how lucky we were that our parents loved throwing us big celebrations when were younger. As most people know our birthday lasts for a week now that we are older we have to celebrate the date of our actual birthday with our family and then Mary has her party and I have mine we use to just do one big thing but I think now that we are older and married it's a little harder. This year I tried to plan a surprise birthday party for Mary but she always plans her birthday parties like months in advance so there was no throwing her a party, instead I settled for a surprise get together with some of her friends at red mango. I also baked a cake for her and took it over the night before our birthday, it turned out horrible, it fell a part and was slid off my cake stand on the way to her house. (so you could only imagine how it looked when I got to her house) I definitely need baking lessons. On our actually birthday we went to Porcupine for dinner with the Cruz family, Shariana and Will are in town so they came with Joie it was a lot of fun. We then went 80's cosmic bowling that weekend for Mary's celebration, it was fun to get all dressed up. I am so lucky to have had such a wonderful birthday this year. Brandon also had a few surprises up his sleeve he got me a huge ballon bouquet, new shoes, red velvet & pumpkin cupcakes from Divas and a NEW CAMERA. I was so excited I have been needing a new camera because my old one decided to retire. He also planned a birthday dinner with a few of our couple friends it was so nice to get together with everyone. I am so lucky to have such an amazing husband, family and friends to celebrate mine and Mary's birthday with!  I just love Birthdays! Pictures from a few of our gatherings are below.

Fall Has Come and Gone...

There is something about the crisp cool air fall brings that I love so much! Fall is by far my favorite season of the year, the colors this year were indescribably beautiful. At the beginning of fall Brandon and I decided to take a Sunday Drive up to Big Cottonwood Canyon, you have the option to turn onto Guardsman’s Pass this road leads you to Park City. If you haven't tried this drive you should the landscape and views are amazing. We have gotten to take this drive twice this fall. On one of the drives we decided to stop at Silver Fork Lodge for Mimosas and Brunch it was absolutely delicious, a place I would definitely recommend. I took a picture of what the fall colors looked like on our first fall visit and then again on the second drive. Although, I hate to see fall come and go I can not stop the excitement I have for our first big snow fall.  I can not wait to look out the window to see pure fresh white powder all around, I love the excitement you feel knowing that the holidays are near, the trips to the Elk Horn Cabin and Teton where snowmobiles and sledding mountains await. I am also anxious to go skiing!! Please Winter Come Fast and leave Shortly after Valentines Day.       

xoxo Nat & B

Wow it has been awhile...
Sorry we have not updated this in months. Natalie and I have been extremely busy. Natalie has recently opened her own flower shop called Bramlette's Blossoms www.bramlettesblossoms.com. She has an amazing gift and puts together some of the prettiest arrangments that I have ever seen. For Valentine's Day I surprised her with a retail shop set up with everything she needs to build arrangments (she was pretty excited). Her company has even been featured on the news a few times during holidays which was very exciting. I have also been extremely busy with work, we are currently finishing a spec home in Deer Valley Utah that is an amazing property, I can't wait to see the finished project, we also recently purchased a golf course resort on an island in South Caralina. We plan on remodeling the hotel and updating the signiture Jack Nicklaus golf course so to say the least we have are hands full. .

Natalie and I have almost hit the year mark and it has been a year full of ups and downs but we know that everything we have been through can only make us stronger. Overall it has been a great year spent with the love of my life.

Three weeks ago my father was diagnosed with stage four brain cancer, he is currently being treated at the Huntsman Cancer institue here in Salt Lake so it is nice having him close. My father is the strongest man I have ever met and I know he can beat this demon. He was admitted back in Huntsman yesterday because they found a blood clot in his lung, we hope he can be released tomorrow and continue the radiation and chemotherapy daily and go home at night. Please say a prayer for our family

We promise to update more then once a quarter from now on LoL

Love, Nat & B
