i'm loved. you're loved. heck ya.

we all have those times that we wish someone would just tell us what we're supposed to do next. i have felt like that quite a lot lately. i have been kind of freaking out about so many different things lately. this is the time in my life that i wish someone would just tell me all the answers. i'm probably just a complainer but i'm really just not very strong. i'm a struggle as you already know:) but i know i'm not the only one who feels like i need someone to hear me and be there for me. even when i'm around a lot of people i feel like i am very alone. but i am, slowly but surely, learning to trust in my Heavenly Father. i am working on being a better listener and to pay attention to the Holy Ghost because life is way too crazy for me to attempt on my own.

okay so, mindy gledhill. i love her.

and this song is really great

oh and this song too. david osmond melts my heart.

love ally

what?

coastin' on a dream

Hello my dear friends! You haven't heard from me in a while, so I'll just give you a rundown of how my life has been the past little while.

These past few months have been a bit of a wild ride for me. I've had some major alterations in my life, and in turn have changed myself quite a bit. My best friend is out of my reach for the next two years; which has been one of the most difficult challenges of my life, but it has also been one of the most rewarding experiences thus far. I have learned more about myself this past month than ever before. I’ve been up, and I’ve been down. I’ve been backwards, sideways, and inside-out. I’m discovering who I am, who I’ve been, and who I’m meant to be. You might be a little confused of why I had to lose the man I love to find the person I really am. A wise person once said, “a picture is worth a thousand words”. So, here’s a few thousand words for you to feast upon while you ponder.

I've discovered really how strong I can be.

I've found joy in the little things.

I've cried in the Lion King musical.

I've pulled really great pranks.

I've laid on the beach and played in the waves.

I've found FUN things to do, in the most boring of places.

I've come closer to Christ, even on the hardest nights.

I've met amazing friends, and seen amazing bands.

I've laughed like never before.

I've snuck in to the Aggie football stadium at midnight, and beat 3 football players at football. 

I've taken risks and accomplished things I never thought possible.

I've cried more passionately than ever before.

I've remembered the good times.

I've discovered new talents.

I've learned to love life, especially my job!

 (my face doesn't exactly prove it in this picture though)

and I've loved him more than ever before.

When life gave me lemons, I made some pretty good freakin' lemonade. God gives us experiences so we can learn about ourselves through our choices. I quote the Black plague when I say "which seat can I take?" I'd like to think she chose the driver's seat. That's the seat I'd take. Where I can watch out the window as the world passes by, but have the ability to steer myself in any direction I choose. Life is beautiful!

"Put your shoulder to the wheel, push along! Do your duty with a heart full of song!"

WAKE UP AND LIVE! -Bob Marley

Love, Holly

bueno

I am pleased to announce that I am officially leaving Maxim Healthcare. They've been good to me throughout these LONG 6 months, but it is time to move on from all that stress, on-call, crazy boss, rush hour-ness. Anyways, I am even more pleased to announce that I am working at Los Hermanos with my 2 bestest friends. I am beyond excited:) So anytime you want some delicious mexican food and/or want to see me, michael or ally...stop by. I will gladly embrace you in my soon to be loving latino arms:)

General Conference was probably the bestest thing ever. I might of teared up a bit to Elder Scotts talk on marriage and his loving words about his deceased wife. "It's time to say I love you" I'm excited to get married. SO excited. Not now, i'm too young...but that doesn't stop me from looking at utah bride blog e'ry day.

Lauren and Holly are coming home soon and i'm so ecstatic. This seperation is too much for me to handle! We are going to party like it's 1989 when they get home.

Life is crazy busy and I will most definitely be working close to 60 hours this week plus 4 soccer games. Not to mention squeezing in my desperate housewives and grey's anatomy time. I love me some grey's.

Oh and sometimes, I flat out refuse to do anything at work just because. Today is one of those days. I have been at work since 8 and I've been reading blogs and snacking on gummy bears the whole time. holler to the lazy.

Aww. Isn't that the cutest?

I want to go shopping for shorts and swim suits.

I want to go on hikes and picnics.

I want to roll the windows down in my car, belt out some tunes and dance like a crazy person.

I want to go boating and have tube wars.

I WANT SUMMER.

Love, Amy

"The Life Of Leaving Home"

Now I don't need to tell you that we need a vacation.
Everyone already knows that.
But we are getting older and busier everyday.
We have all decided to go on a trip to California over the summer.
So are we gonna make it happen?
Uhh You Bet!

We need a little bit of that extra "umph" to get us completely convinced.

Disneyland: -You know if we are going to California, we have no excuse not to go..

-Who cares about the cost. It's the adventure of a lifetime with all of our best friends.

-It's also good exercise.

-It is the happiest place on earth, besides Disneyworld.

-Picture us in all of the below photos.

The pictures below represent the City of my Grandparents.

Riverside: -Palm Trees and beautiful sun.

-My wonderful grandparents ;)

-Did I mention they have a Buffalo Wild Wings?

Ahh the beach.

Newport: -The water has been decently warm lately.

-The famous GREAT MEX would be present.

-They have the most amazing bike, surf, and skate shops.

-Also (I have never done this) they have deep sea fishing.

Carlsbad Encinitas: 

-I was researching different beaches and this one is close..ish.

-It has some super pretty water and cliffs.

-I've heard all the surfers go there.

-Which means hot boys.

-The boy I was in love with lives there and he's a super babe.

-It is in the San Diego Area which means we have more to do.

-It is closer to Mexico.

^*example: Hot babe*^

Just ignore him smoking.

He's still Hot.

 

And Finally,

Santa Monica: -An AWESOME! pier.

-Mexicans selling fruit illegally everywhere!!

-The coolest lifeguard stands we can take pictures on.

-The Seagulls steal all of your food.

-About 20 minutes or less from Hollywood.

I really hope that this has convinced you that you really need to start getting AT LEAST a week off from work in the summer because this will be the best vacation you ever had. Save your money girls, we are going to Cali. No flaking allowed!!!

Love Lauren :)

i'm in love and i can't deny it

it's sick really. this obsession that i have.
and it really didn't start with me. it's not my fault.
i mean he's athletic.
gererally everyone likes him.
he's oddly attractive.
we even have multiple posters of him around our house.
so i completely and 100% percent blame my father for this obsession.
hol don't hate me but i'm in love with jimmer.

girls, you know me, and youve been to my home. therefore, it has been only a matter of time before i completely cracked. i will confess that i have had exactly 2 dreams about this fellow. the second of those dreams, i received a kiss square on the lips. i liked that dream. but the first dream was also great, because he wanted me over this girl:

WHITNEY WONNACOTT

that is when i knew it was a dream. she's a babe and a half right?

BYU cheerleader.

jimmer's girl.

theyre in love.

my dreams are shattered.



celebrity crush: james taft fredette

love him. love you.

I Belong To The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day-Saints!

I know I just recently posted, but I felt strongly to write about this:

I came across a Website about the Mormon Church helping throughout all the Earthquakes and Natural Disasters around the world and I found it really interesting.

I love researching what other people think about our beliefs and I realize I have some strong opinions about our religion and I thought that I would share them.

First of all, I DO believe that our church is the true church and that it is the most wonderful blessing in the whole entire world. I do not understand how people can go on living without what we have.

I am so grateful for the knowledge we have and that we stand for what we believe in. I would never change anything for the world. We are blessed with a loving family and although we have to deal with struggles and challenges in our lives, we don't have to live through the terrible things that others are going through. Seeing all the struggle through all the natural disasters has really opened my eyes to what we really have. I love that we, as members, are the ones showing our love and support towards everyone that is going through a hard time. We have the power to change the world and make it a better place. I know that life has been hard for me lately and I know that all of us have been going through hard things, but I realize that we are so blessed. The church really does so much for us. I truly feel sorry for the people that mock it because they really have no reason to. I wish that they could open up and understand that what we have is the most amazing thing that there ever was.

I know this was kind of random but I felt the need to let atleast someone know that I do believe in it and I want to be a part of it forever. And I wish that everyone could know the truth as we do.

If you have time, you should look this up. It really got me going and obviously encouraged this post
