Spring Semester, Can you just be here already?

I understand that I've got it pretty easy right now. I'm not in school. I don't have to worry about homework. I get to stay at home most of the day. Watch T.V, eat oreos, occasionally make my husband a well balanced meal. Most of the semester managing work isn't too busy...but the past three weeks have been long, stressful, and a wee bit overwhelming. I'm done with this semester. I'm done with winter. I'm ready for Spring.

Check outs for this semester are in 8 days. Check in's for Spring semester are in 15 days. Planning for these two things have been my life the past three weeks. Next semester we aren't going to be very full (seriously barely half way full). This has made doing room assignments for next semester ridiculous. I've had to arrange with girls to move apartments since there wont be enough girls to put into their apartment to make it full. Telling tenants that they are going to have to move all their stuff for one semester is not fun. I get "oh my gosh are you kidding me" face. Its awesome. Finally last week room assignments started falling in place a lot better and quicker and now they are all set. WOO!

Poor Kevin has had to deal with my crazy stressful attitude all month. Good thing he loves me. Pretty sure some days he wanted to lock me in a closet and just slip crackers under the door so i wouldn't starve. Haha.

The General Women's Broadcast was a HUGE uplift for me. I LOVED IT. It was one of the best meeting's I have ever been to. I loved every speaker. I felt so determined and grateful after it was over. I couldn't help but think of all the amazing women in my life that have blessed me. I am so grateful for Relief Society and the opportunities it gives us to serve and help those around us as well as help build our own testimonies through those amazing experiences. That meeting was the BEST!

This week has been pretty stressful. I've been working with an apartment trying to help their roommate with some pretty scary issues. Its been a long week trying to figure out exactly what to do. I'm grateful for the guidance I've received this week trying to help this apartment. I was feeling really worried and concern about what I needed to do. I found this quote on Pinterest yesterday and it was exactly what I needed to read at the time.



I didn't mean for this to be a complaining debbie downer post. Sorry. Here's some happy thoughts to end on a happier note...

* 16 DAYS until I'm done with check outs and check ins and spring semester awesomeness starts!!! YAHOO!

* I watched Frozen today with Whitney and Carlei. Olaf (WYATT!!) never ceases to make me laugh. Love that silly snowman.

* We were able to purchase Kevin's new bike last week and he has been riding it as much as possible. He LOVES it and it makes him so happy which makes me super happy. :)

* The sun is shining super bright today. It warms my soul!

* I am SUPER pumped for General Conference this weekend.

* In four days Kevin and celebrate our 2nd Wedding Anniversary!!! Holy Cow!!

As tough as the past couple weeks have been for me I wouldn't have it any other way. I love this job. I love getting to associate with so many amazing girls. I love getting to spend so much time with Kevin throughout the day. I love this time in my life I'm at.

Until next time...

Holly :)

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

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

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

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...
