Friday Night Happenin's

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 :)

Third Time's the Charm..Maybe...

By
Last week as I sat down to go through some emails I remembered this old blog and got sucked into reading through past posts. I smiled, cried and laughed as I read through my memories over the last 4 years. :) It was crazy to read through and think about how much has changed over the years and how much Kevin and I have experienced together in the 6 years we've been married. My last post was from March of last year after a visit to Iowa. I could kick myself for not keeping up with this blog because last year was packed full of some of the greatest and hardest experiences of my life. Highlights from over the past 18 months: -We had a graduation party in Idaho for Kevin April 2017 and he officially graduated the following July! It felt so good for him to finally be done. He worked SO HARD and overcame some major obstacles and set backs.  -After Kevin walked in April we did a big trip to Utah and Iowa with Shawnii after watching her graduate with her Masters in Communication Disor...

Mid-Week Happenings/Ramblings

By
This week has gone by sooo slow. I woke up this morning thinking it was Thursday. Rude. Anyways...Here's some random happenings/ramblings from the past week or so... Kevin is anti anything Christmas before Thanksgiving...I'm the complete opposite. We've compromised. I can listen to Christmas music but cant hang any decorations (my pinecone and snowflake garlands don't count) until the Monday before Thanksgiving. I can live with those stipulations.  We made a goal with our friend G to not eat out at all this week (we may or may not have an addiction to midnight runs to McDonalds). We've survived so far.  Last night we finally watched the movie, "The Fault in Our Stars". Holy hannah. Ugly face cry the whole time people. It was so sad but so worth it, minus the random f-bomb.  I attempted to make homemade french fries for dinner this week...oh deary...Lets just say I wont be using that particular recipe again...or attempting to make fries again a...

Sum of September

By
My goodness its already October! September was a fabulous, crazy, busy, wonderful month. First up a visit to Idaho... A ll my siblings surprised my parents the second weekend of Sept as an early birthday present for my mom's 60th birthday! We were missing Kevin and Arianna's husband and kids but the rest of us were able to go. My parents were so shocked and my mom cried and cried she was so happy to see us all. It was the best present we've ever given her. :)  It was a laid back weekend just spending time together. We went to a Gentri concert Saturday night,  church Sunday, my mom loves having people to sit with so we made sure to visit on a weekend so we could all sit with her, Danny and Melissa's family left Sunday after dinner, Monday we had a little day of shopping and relaxing at home, and then Tuesday Shawnii, Arianna and I all headed home.  GETTING TO DRIVE LARRY HOME FROM CHURCH!!!  The day after I got back from Idaho I st...
