When I am moving from a smaller screen to a larger one my h1, h2, and nav float like they're suppose to. The actual header background becomes larger and larger and the two do not line up with each other on a desktop size screen.

Hey Jacob,

Try This 

  nav {
    background: none;
    float: right;
    font-size: 1.125em;
    margin: 2% 0 0 0;
    width: 45%;
  }

  #logo {
    float: left;
    margin: 1%;
    width: 45%;
  }

One of your issues was that the margin from #logo was pushing the nav below the #logo element. For the nav, i just added a 2% margin to the top and 0% on all other sides. For the #logo, i just added a 1% margin all around and floated it to the left. Nav and #logo are going to take up 90% of the total width of their parent element so the other 10% can be used for margins. Optionally, you can even make the width smaller and the margins bigger.

This code was added to the @media screen and (min-width: 660px) media query.
