No time for blogging...

Last week I didn't have any time for blogging because I was busy spending every extra minute with this guy:

Oh goodness he's fun. I smile more, laugh harder, sleep less, and enjoy life more when this guy is around. After 25 years of practice Sky knows how to push my buttons! He teases me like crazy in a way that only a little brother could get away with.

He also spends hours at night just talking with me about any random subject we come upon. And when i've finally gotten to the 'mumble stage' when my sentences are no longer coherent we finally slip off to sleep.

Now he's off to live his dreams in the shiny state of California, and the Holman house is considerably quieter.

Oh, I am SUCH a lucky girl!

My man certainly knows how to spoil me, I can't believe I got to see Wicked from the BEST seats in the house.

Chances cute parents got to see it for the first time, and we all got to see it in honor of Sally (for her birthday).

I was so excited to see this show, and it was even better than I remembered it - probably because I got to sit next to this good looking guy!

Drumroll please….

As of Monday I am no longer 'the intern'. I will be employed at Zions Bank, a fact that I couldn’t be happier about!

The job combines my background in communications, a little PR, some production and acting/broadcast journalism, and cause marketing which means working with nonprofits in my favorite way possible – finding ways to give people money!

Could there be a better fit for me? I argue, there could not!

I miss these boys!

I must admit that I’m a pretty lucky girl. Not everyone has 6 fantastic brothers like I do. Sometimes I miss the ones I don’t see on a regular basis, and so I must resort to watching random videos of them to get my fix…

If you’re missing Sky you can watch him in this latest Mormon Message – great message from a wonderful talk and there just happens to be a handsome redhead in it too:

Or you can watch this trailer for a movie coming this Christmas:

12 Dogs of Christmas

If you’re missing Landen check out this cute commercial for USANA that we just got from TMG:

Old USANA commercial

Or you can watch them both in this clip, one of my favorites:

UVU Commercial

Ahh, I just love technology and the ability to see my brothers even when they’re far away. :)

about me ...

I am the girlie-girl in a family of boys, and I love every minute of it! I am a Ute and a Cougar, and yes it is possible to have enough room in your heart for both {although every parent has a favorite child, and you can probably guess mine}. I love high heels and glittery jewelry, as well as curling up in comfy pajamas with a good book. My red hair is more than my defining feature, but a state of mind and a way of life. If you don’t understand, then stop blog-stalking and hang out with me! ;)

Quotes To Live By

So many men seem destined
To settle for something small
But I won't rest until I know I'll have it all
So don't ask where I'm going
Just listen when I'm gone
And far away you'll hear me singing
Softly to the dawn:
Rivers belong where they can ramble
Eagles belong where they can fly
I've got to be where my spirit can run free
Got to find my corner of the sky
~Corner of the Sky, Pippin

Success is when opportunity meets preparation.

Control your own destiny or someone else will.

To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle which any human being can fight; and never stop fighting.
~E.E. Cummings

If you don't like something change it. If you can't change it, change the way you think about it.

The best way to predict the future is to create it.

Whether you think you can or you can't, you are right.
~Henry Ford

Our society is afflicted by a spirit of thoughtless arrogance unbecoming those who have been so magnificently blessed. How grateful we should be for the bounties we enjoy. Absence of gratitude is the mark of the narrow, uneducated mind. It bespeaks a lack of knowledge and the ignorance of self-sufficiency.
~Gordon B. Hinckley

In Order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.
~Coco Chanel

A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.
~Sir Winston Churchill

The people who get on in this world are people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can't find them, make them.
~George Bernard Shaw

Our doubts are traitors and make us lose good we oft might win by fearing to attempt.
~Shakespear

If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.
~Margaret Thatcher

People are often unreasonable, illogical, and self-centered;
Forgive them anyway.
If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives;
Be kind anyway.
If you are successful, you will win some false friends and some true enemies;
Succeed anyway.
If you are honest and frank, people may cheat you;
Be honest and frank anyway.
What you spend years building, someone could destroy overnight;
Build anyway.
If you find serenity and happiness, they may be jealous;
Be happy anyway.
The good you do today, people will often forget tomorrow;
Do good anyway.
Give the world the best you have and it may just never be enough;
Give the world the best you have anyway.
You see, in the final analysis, it's all between you and God;
It was never between you and them anyway.
~Mother Teresa
