Friday Night Happenin's

Image
By
This is what my Friday afternoon/night consisted of:

Cutting hearts out of construction paper for a little activity I'm handing out in Relief Society on Sunday...


(I don't even know how many papers I cut up...I filled 100 little sandwich baggies of little hearts. Each bag had between 6 and 8 hearts. I CAN'T FEEL MY FINGERS.)


 A Taco Bell run with Kevin for dinner...
(mmmmmm Baja Blast Mountain Dew!)


Watching High School Musical 3 while still cutting out a million hearts and eating the Taco Bell.


It was a lovely way to spend my Friday night. :) Kevin was a trooper and watched the entire movie with me. He's definitely a keeper! I thought my Friday night couldn't get anymore exciting...but then...

A funny/exciting (for me) story happened...

So there are quite a few blogs that I look at but one blog in particular that I really like to follow is:

http://www.alexamariezurcher.com/ 

This is my favorite! She is an LDS woman, my same age that blogs about her cute little family, her etsy shop, photography, and just daily life. She has a lot of followers and is a pretty popular blog. I love her blog because she is always super positive and I know that I will go away feeling uplifted after reading any of her posts...anyways...So Friday night I was on Instagram and was looking at this certain bloggers Instagram page. I decided to follow her page because I really like looking at the pictures she posts. Fast forward a couple hours...I checked my phone and noticed I had an Instagram notification...the blogger girl had liked THREE of my photos! :) I started screaming I was so excited!
Ok, so first off you need to understand that this girl is like a celebrity to me. She has over a thousand followers to her blog and Instagram so that is why I was pretty excited she took time to look through some of my lame Instagram pictures. Kevin was on the phone when this was all going down so I called my mom to tell her how excited I was. She laughed and said she was excited for me. (thanks for being so awesome Mama!) After I got off the phone with my mom I decided I wanted to send this blogger girl an email, thanking her for being such an awesome example to so many people and how much I enjoyed reading her blog...so I sent the email. :) I was a little nervous because I have never done this before and I didn't want to come across as some weird stalker girl but I know a lot of people email bloggers about random things and I didn't expect her to respond so I sent the email and then just kinda stopped thinking about it. Well about half an hour later I checked my email just for fun...SHE EMAILED ME BACK!!!!! :) It was the coolest little email. She thanked me for emailing her and said a few other sweet things. 

I took these pictures to try and show my excitement of what happened:

This is the "Oh my gosh, are you serious, did this really just happen?!!?" face.

 Then the "Woah this is really cool!!!" face. :) 

I know it probably sounds like just a silly little story to most people but I was SUPER excited. I've had so much fun following this girls blog for the past year and a half and watching her little family grow so it was really cool getting to kind of have a conversation with her via email. 

This was definitely an AWESOME Friday night!!! :) 


Until next time...

Holly :)

Fall time in the Burg

By
Our church building is right below the Rexburg Temple. A few weeks ago when we got out of church I looked up at the temple and saw all the gorgeous fall colors on the trees and bushes surrounding the temple. I told Kevin we HAD to go up and take pictures. We went home, changed and headed back up to the temple. We walked all around and I couldn't stop snapping picture after picture of the fall leaves! I decided that fall is my favorite season in Rexburg. It is just SO pretty. Our nice little Sunday stroll definitely helped remind of how blessed we all are to be on this amazing earth that was created for us!  Kevin pointed out this strange plant and was like, "Don't you want a picture of this?" Haha. So naturally I had to snap a quick picture. I love the temple! I am so grateful we live to close to it. Such a blessing!  I'm grateful for days and moments like this where I'm reminded how ble...

Fat Biking

By
Kevin didn't have class yesterday since it was a holiday and no one else on the maintenance crew was going to work so Kevin decided to take the day off as well. I decided to close my office for the day so we could spend some time together. (best decision EVER!) We had a REALLY fun active day. In the morning Kevin played basketball while I walked around the I-center track with my friend Janae. We were there for about an hour and a half so we both got some pretty good exercise. We lounged around for a couple hours after that and then around 2:30 we headed to go fat biking with a couple we've become really good friends with in our ward. I had seen the fat bikes at the ORC before but never thought I would ride one. They look like regular bikes except they have ginormous tires instead of little tires. The bikes are used to ride in the snow, sand, and anywhere else you want to but they make riding in snow a lot easier (and more fun). Here is a picture while we were waiting at...

Time for something new

By
The past few weeks have been interesting. I've been worrying more and felt overwhelmed about Kevin's schooling, finding jobs, being a burden to family, trying to decide where we really need to be right now, everything just felt like it was closing in on me. Kevin applied to a job at Best Buy and made it through the first and second interviews. We made the decision that if he didn't get the job we would move back to Laramie. Friday, December 16th, as we were driving an Elder down to Des Moines, we found out that Kevin did not get the job. In a moment that could have very well been so sad, discouraging and stressful all I felt was peace. My heart was so sad thinking about leaving Mason City but my shoulders and body felt like a weight had been lifted from them. I knew we needed to go to Laramie. So, we're moving to Laramie after Christmas! I've cried at least twice a day since Friday (I'm just a constant bawl baby these days!) My heart and mind are on a cons...
