Catching Up

Its hard to believe its already September 22nd. We've lived at Royal Crest for almost three months. I feel like between summer activities and moving over to Royal Crest everything has just been in fast forward mode. My brain is finally catching up..kind of.

I've never been so excited for a new semester to start. A week ago Kevin started school and I started my new regular office hours (Mon-Fri 11 am-5 pm). We're slowly starting to get back into a routine. Summer was ooooh so much fun but we both needed a routine back in our lives.

Kevin is enjoying his classes so far and homework hasn't been too stressful yet. He's finally getting into his major classes and out of foundation classes. This semester he has two classes on campus and three classes online. He's amazing at juggling work and school and keeping his needy wife happy. Everyday he makes me smile and makes me feel so loved. He's just so dang wonderful.

Having check ins over has taken a huge weight off my shoulders. Poor Kevin has had to deal with grumpy Holly constantly the past two and a half months. Its definitely been a challenge for me since we've come to Royal Crest but every day seems to be a little bit better. I'm grateful to have this job. Getting to renovate my office was so much fun (choosing to do it 9 days before check ins...not so smart.) Its still a work in progress but I love that its my own space!

Our apartment is slowly coming together as well. The day before check ins we got a washer and dryer in our apartment (YAHOO!). They work so much faster than the ones we had at Brooklyn. I've done 4 loads of laundry during my office hours so far! Its been great! Our back two bedrooms are still a work in progress. Over the next couple weeks I think we'll get everything organized more.

Things are starting to feel like normal work/school days do. Today as I was sitting in my office I could hear the washer and dryer going...I couldn't help but smile...I love being a homemaker. I love being a wife. Life is pretty grand right now. Sometimes I get caught up in the stress of work and life and forget how blessed I am right now. I loved a quote I found on pinterest today, "its a good day to have a good day." That's my motto for this week.

And now a photo to finish out this post...Love my handsome mountain man! :)


Until next time...

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...
