With some jewelery on it!

Still needs the earring wire on the top.

So I have been saying that I want something decorative to place my jewelery for a while.  Then, what do ya know, Carl shows up with a frame from big lots and an idea!  We went to the store and picked out fabric, a board, hooks, knobs and other things to decorate it with.  I come home yesterday to find it almost done and ready for my help with the placement of the hooks.  About an hour later and  Voila!  Now i don't have all my jewelery up quite yet, and Carl's still got to put up the wire on the top to hold my earrings but i think it looks pretty great!  Thank you Carl!

Life after marriage at the moment.

So its Carl's last semester at BYU, he's going to be graduating in Chinese and Asian Studies.  He's preparing to go to Law School and is applying to all the best law schools.  Hopefully in March we will find out where he is accepted too, should be exciting stuff!!!  I decided to take the semester off while we figure out where we will be going for the next three years, then I will continue my education wherever we end up, if possible.  I also am trying to find a second job in the mornings before i coach in the evenings at Airtime.  So far no such luck.  So I'm quite bored in the mornings until I go to work.  Thus, what started this new blog today!  That is about everything new at the moment. I intend to keep you all(no followers at the moment)updated.  However, I tend to be flakey when it comes to things like this.  We will make it a NEW YEARS RESOLUTION.  Speaking of that.  Here are my New Years Resolutions:

1.  This blog.  It should be useful if we have to move away to law school to keep everyone up to date on us.
2.  Learn to cook!  I have like 4 cookbooks.  My goal is to learn a new recipe a week.  If it is to mine and Carl's satisfaction then it will then be transferred to my own homemade cookbook.  Maybe once i find a good recipe I'll show you all a snip-it of it.  I tend to be quite a picky eater, so those who know me well and have some recipe suggestions, please send them along. 
3.  Get back in shape.  That's very general, i know and not really a proper goal.  I have yet to specify on this goal thus far, but soon intend too. We have the Xbox Kinect and an awesome fitness game, that should come in handy with this goal.

These are the 3 I have came up with.  They are still open to change until February when they shall be finalized.
So that's us.  I'll see if i can get Carl to come and write a little this week, maybe he'll share his goals with us!

Pretty Bridesmaids

Welcome to our Blog!!!

Hello.  We are the Hollan's.  We recently got married November 23rd, 2010.  It was a wonderfully snowy day.  We got married in the bountiful Temple at 12:15.  After our session they closed down the temple because of the storm.  It was to windy to take pictures so Carl and I had to postpone our little photo sesh till a week later.  When it came time for the reception the storm was so bad that we could barely see anything.  We even pasted the entrance to the Davis Conference Center because we couldn't see through the snow.  The reception looked beautiful, sadly because of the storm we didn't have many guests in attendance.  It was nice though that all our immediate family was there having fun together.  After the reception we had planned to go to Park City for a few days.  We were worried that this wouldn't be possible with the storm, but it had passed mostly and we made it there safely.  We stayed at the Stein Erickson Lodge.  It was so pretty in the winter with all the snow.  That was our wedding day in a nut shell.  Pictures to come!
