3 More Nights...

This past week and a half has been busy and tiring for me. Jetblue is changing their whole system on booking flights, so that means everyone in the company has to do a 2 week training course in order to be ready by February next year! It hasn't been too hard learning the new program, but I go in from 830pm - 230am, which sucks because I am so not a night person like I used to be!! It's has totally thrown my schedule off!!

I am excited for the transition though! I think it will be more beneficial for the company to expand and make things easier for all of the employees as well as the customers!!

I just need to survive 3 more nights, and then I can get back to my normal routine!!

Quick Update

This past month has been busy, but very exciting for Douglas and I. With much patience and hardwork, we can now officially say that we are going to be HOMEOWNERS!!! That's right, with Aunt Josie's great help, we have found the perfect home for us!! It's an older home, but brand new inside. We had looked at a lot of homes prior to this one, which nothing really stood out for either one of us, or the ones that we liked were either too much or in a bad neighborhood. Then Douglas had come across our house the day it went on market with a great price and nice pictures, so we called up Josie to go look and get a better feel for it. When we got there, I wasn't expecting much, since we hadn't found anything yet, but when I walked in, I instantly fell in love with it!! It's exactly what we wanted. Of course there are a few things that need to get worked on (mainly the outside) but that is what Douglas and I wanted. A home to put our own work into! With how much we adored it, we immediately jumped on making an offer, which of course they accepted! And to make things even better, we put the dining room table, chairs, and the bedroom set in the offer (staged furniture) and they kindly accepted that as well!!

We are so excited to finally be in a place to call our own!! It's going to be so nice to not have to be in a basement or to be quiet due to others around us and to have our own yard where the kids can play in! I am so blessed for everything falling into place with this home. It's just meant to be ours! We couldn't be more happy!!

So for now, we are getting everything packed and ready to move the beginning of November!! Perfect before the Holidays!!!

What Heaven Sees In You

I came across this video of one of my favorite LDS songs. I cry every time I listen to it. It is such a spiritual song of just how special us Women are. Enjoy!!

The Refiner's Fire

My sister Trisha and I had an awesome experience recording 2 songs for Dan Bryant on his new cd "The Refiner's Fire." Our friend Cassie is his Sister In Law and had recommended us to him. He is such a talented person, writing his own music on the piano, drums, and guitar. This cd consists of LDS hymns that he wrote in his own style as well as some of his own work. Trisha and I did a duet of "Lord I would Follow Thee" and quartet of "Amazing Grace." The cd will be completed in the Fall, but you can pre order it on his website www.danbryantmusic.com

Trisha and I are so excited to finally have a start of putting ourselves out there with our talent of singing! Hopefully we will have much more to share in the future!!

Grandparent's 60th Anniversary


My Grandpa and Grandma Holt celebrated their 60th wedding anniversary on August 19th. We had a huge celebration for them in honor of their marriage and also the wonderful  examples they have been throughout these years. We went to the Sleepy Ridge Golf Course which by the way is AMAZING!! My Uncle Golden has been a huge part in building it and the clubhouse there looks like a huge mansion! So cool!! We had a nice time- touring the golf course, taking pictures, eating yummy food, and spending time with family. We also had a program of those who reminisced about my Grandparent's childhoods and their relationship with each other. It was fun hearing all the stories about them! 

I love my Grandparents so much. They are the most giving people I know and will do anything for anyone. Anyone who comes around my Grandpa will always leave with a smile. He is such a kind man who makes you feel so special! He's the most Christlike person I know. 

I wish Congrats to the both of them of setting such a great example of love and devotion in a marriage as well as in a family!! Happy 60th!!!
