Navigation does not adjust for desktop site

I cannot for the life of me figure out what I've done wrong. My CSS is valid but for some reason when I make the changes to the navigation for the desktop site the nav still sits under the header.

My html is as follows

<html>
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/normalize.css">
    <link href='http://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Changa+One:400,400italic|Open+Sans:400italic,400' rel='stylesheet' type='text/css'>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/main.css">
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/responsive
.css">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>Molly Christie | Wizard</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <header>
      <a href="index.html" id="logo">
        <h1>Molly Christie</h1>
        <h2>Wizard</h2>
      </a>
    </header>
    <nav>

I've put everything into codepen here http://codepen.io/mmmolly/pen/iImFn/ and I'd be very grateful if anyone had any insights.

I'm really losing my marbles over here.

Thanks!

You don't have your nav inside your header.
