Valentines Day/Presidents Day

I finally got the pictures off of my phone from Valentines Day/Presidents Day weekend so I can post them now! :)

Valentines Day:

The night before Kevin brought our mattress into the living room so we could watch movies. :) I gave him his v-day gift at midnight because he begged me to. I gave his a framed picture that we took when we went fat biking. He really liked the picture and told me every time he looked at it that he wanted it framed. He was pretty surprised and he really liked it so I was excited:) The morning and afternoon of Valentines Day were spent at school and work. We didn't really have time to do anything together until later in the afternoon. The pictures will explain the rest of the day...

We had crepes for dinner and I bought 4 bottles of martinellis that we had practically finished off before the day was over. 

He was really excited to eat the crepes :)

Before the random whip creme fight...


After the whip creme fight. I started it but immediately regretted it and ran to the bathroom to try and hide. It didn't work. My hair was sooo greasy even after I showered:)



The pretty flowers Kevin got me :)
 Valentines Day was a lot of fun and I am so grateful I get to spend Eternity with my Valentine. He makes me feel so loved and special every single day. (mushy gushy stuff over I promise)

Now on to Presidents Day...

Melissa, mom and I decided it would be fun to give Shawnii a little shopping spree day for her as a birthday gift. We had SO much fun (Definitely missed having Anna there though!!!). We went to DI, Fred Meyer, and the Mall. We definitely shopped till we dropped! Funny story...We had lunch at Wendys before we headed over to the mall and I realized my pants had a hole forming in the crotch. It was pretty big so I decided I would just buy some sweats at the mall and fix the pants when I got home. Well as I was sliding into the car the hole ripped even bigger! It was HUGE! Luckily I had my coat to tie around my waist and I was able to find some jeans on sale at the mall quick so I bought them, changed and we kept shopping! :) It was pretty funny as it was all happening. Ava kept saying as we were walking in the store, "We need to get you some pants!" it was really funny. :) After shopping we went to Blackfoot. Kevin had driven down there for the day to hang out with Danny so we spent a few hours down there and then headed back up to Rexburg. Here are some pictures I took throughout the day...


Love this sister of mine. So happy I got to spend the day with her :)

Silly little girl. Being an Aunt is the best. 





Ava handed everyone barbie dolls and was having them conduct as she was singing. Everyone was laughing SO hard. It was hilarious. That little girl is so funny. 


Cute little meggers. Love her! 
It was a really fun way to spend Presidents Day. I'm grateful we live so close to family right now. I know it won't always be like this so I am trying to enjoy the time we get with everyone while we're still so close by. 

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...
