Aww...look at my little panda bear.
I got these jammies on major clearance and I heart them.
They make me smile.

This is a totally random mushy love stuff post, but the other night as I was trying to fall asleep I started thinking about all my memories of when Ryan and I were dating.
Our relationship kind of melded together and didn't really have an official start date. Although, I count July 4th, 2005 as that's the first day I met him, and I knew I liked  him right then and there.
While I was trying to fall asleep, I was thinking about our first kiss. I remembered It was on my couch in my roman gardens apt. in the middle of the day,and that we had been dating almost 2 weeks and I was starting to think he didn't like me, but for the life of me I couldn't remember what Ryan said to me before he kissed me. I had a mini freak out about it. I mean we've been together 5 years and I can't remember all the details about our first kiss, what's wrong with me?!? What am I going to tell me children? I fell asleep worrying about it.
Ryan helped me sort out the memory last night, and here's what he said,
" So are you going to kiss me?"
and I quickly retorted," You first." and then he kissed me!
Romantic huh? Lol. It was....until about .2 seconds later when my roommate Erin came flying in the door. She turned bright red and ran into her room. (She knew it was our first kiss and felt terrible for interrupting) She then ran back out the front door as quickly as she had come in. Ryan and I busted up laughing in embarrassment. Sigh, good times.
Now if I ever forget, I can come back to this blog post and remind myself.

XOXO,
Holly & Co.

this past semester, almost every wednesday, Ryan would come and meet me at work and we would go out to lunch.  we really enjoyed having this mini date throughout the week and were mourning his change in schedule for this upcoming semester, it means no more lunch dates.

well, today, Ryan just happens to be working close and called me up and asked me if I'd like to go to lunch with him. I love that he still asks me out.

we've been together for almost 5 years (married almost 3) and I love that the chivalry is still there. he still opens my doors and offers me his jacket if I'm cold.

I {heart} my husband and couldn't be happier he's mine.

XOXO,
Holly & CO.

PS. thanks Dan & Julie for raising the most wonderful man in my life.

Today, I locked my keys in my car, for the first time since owning my car. and to my rescue, came Ryan. He was able to use a piece of wire to pry open the lock before AAA got here. HOORAY for handy husbands!

Zoe turned 15 months last week. It's amazing how fast time flies. Her newest words are "hot" "water" "yucky". She's also learned to walk backwards. It's rather funny to watch. She has a liking for sour fruit. She will eat lime and lemon wedges when we're at restaurants. Here she is eating a lime.

I'm trying to fit in some crafty projects. We'll see if it actually happens.

XOXO,
Holly & Co.

Last night Zoe spent the night at Grandma & Granpa Humbert's house so Ryan and I got a date night!
We went to Macaroni Grill and discovered they had re-done the whole menu. Simplified, added, and changed the whole thing. It was great. The menu also now includes a nutritional information panel, so you can see exactly how many calories, sat. fat etc. you are getting. (EYE-OPENER!) I was shocked that one of my favorite dishes was almost 500 calories more than the Fetticini Alfredo! But it helped me make a positive decision. I got the Pollo Caprese, so Yummy! However out food was extrememly late coming out, so they comped us a dessert, which threw the whole calorie count out the window. (but is was divine)
Then we headed over to Fry's Electronics to walk around and ooh and ahh over expensive gadgets we don't need. We ended up buying printer ink which we needed.
It was an early night, but nice to get some one on one time with the Hubby.

Zoe is feeling much better. While home sick, she learned what the cow says, "Mooo" (said in the most adorable little Zoe voice)

Our dear friends/neighbors welcomed their second baby boy on Wednesday afternoon. Little Noah is as perfect as they come. Mom & Baby are both healthy and well. We're excited to have a brand new baby right next door. You can see pictures on their blog.

We'll be having a PJs & Pancakes breakfast next saturday for our ward Relief Society. I am thinking I need to get some cute jammies for this event. Don't wanna show up in Ryan's giant BYU sweatshirt and yoga pants, which is what I normally wear. Poor Jamie can attest to that. I wonder if Target has some cute ones.

Last weekend I got the urge to re-do Zoe's room. I took down all her alphabet canvases and bedding. I want to redo it in the color scheme/fabric from the quilt the Julie made her. Kind of a 70's mod feel. But then I got tired. So her room is less than cute right now but I'm hoping to make some changes during the long weekend.

Ok enough rambling for now. Have a great weekend everyone.

XOXO,
Holly & Co.
