Spinning...Ramblings

Image
By
I feel like all I've been able to write about this year is ramblings and catch ups of what is going on in our lives. The year is just speeding ahead no matter how hard I try to slow it down! I guess that's just how it is with work and school keeping us busy :) 

My head feels like its always spinning trying to keep up with everything these days. Work, Kevin's school, housework, family, friends, church...so much to do. Life is so great right now though even if it gets hectic and crazy...I'm extremely grateful for the point in life we are at.

Its getting down to the end of the semester. We are two weeks away from finals for Kevin and check-out week for me. My head is getting into the habit of not relaxing at night. Continually going over every task I need to get done the following day. I've tried to get ahead on some tasks to help my stress not be so high this semester but I think no matter what I do, check-outs is just a stressful time. :) 

On April 7th we will celebrate our third anniversary. Sometime it feels like we've been married for so much longer than that but then other moments it feels like it was just yesterday we were walking out of the temple as a new married couple. I'm a little bummed because our anniversary falls right in the middle of finals and check-outs week. But I know that no matter what we are able to do as long as we are together it will be a great time :) 

We both got new callings at church and are now family history consultants. We went to our first class today and both are pretty excited to learn more about doing genealogy and helping others find joy in doing family history as well. I love that we have the calling together and we can work together on learning more about family history. 

I know these next couple weeks are going to be long and stressful for both us. With General Conference, our anniversary and other exciting events happening in the next couple weeks as well I'm thinking it will be easier to cope with all the stresses from day to day. I'm going to try as hard as I can to be a happy positive wife and not the grumpy psycho wife that normally comes out around this time of the semester. My being grumpy helps nothing and I know that positivity goes such a long way. I just need to remember that. :) 

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...
