Halloween was fun. Lance and I went to Tara's new house (his sister) and helped her hand out candy. We got there kindof late so there weren't many more Trick-or-Treater's showing up by the time we arrived...but we had a good time nonetheless. His family is very cool, I think the world of them. Lance brought up the idea of us going ring shopping in the next few weeks and I have to say I am so excited about it. I've went around to different places looking for rings on my own or with friends, and it's really not going to be a difficult decision now. I had always wanted a princess cut ring, that was my #1 choice, but then I tried it on in the preffered size I want and it looks horrible on my hand. My hands are so small and it just didn't look right at all. I had never really considered getting a round cut before, but it looks SO good on my hand. It's so beautiful. I'm never the one who opts for the traditional twist on things, but this time it's a go. So, unless I find something that completely takes my heart, I'm pretty set on this one. I guess that's enough about that. This evening we're all going out to dinner. My family is huge so there will be a lot of us. I love when we get together. I'm blessed with the rarity of having a very large family who gets along incredibly well. So tonight should be fun, we haven't done this in a while. I went and bought Uggs a new collar which was his 10th like I mentioned in the last entry...he already has it off. I have no idea what to do with him. I think I'm going to look online and order something. He'll still probably manage to escape it though. I want so badly to have him declawed and bring in him, but he would be way unhappy so I can't do that, he loves being outside. Anyway, I'm very fair (think Anne Hathaway) and having some color is something foreign to me, lol....well I ordered some Fake Bake tanning stuff, but it hasn't come in yet, so I decided to try this stuff called Toma's Tan...I'm sure if anyone has ever watched QVC for 2 seconds you know who I'm talking about, but it has worked suprisingly well. I didn't want to get nasty dark, I only wanted a hint of color and that's exactly what I have now, it looks so good and even. I HATE the sun, I'm never in it and I'm the queen of sunblock so this is good. Thank God it didn't streak. Here are a couple new pictures with people I love... -Holly

It's only 3:40 and it's already the most boring day of my life. Thank God for SitDiary and an internet connection. I'll probably be writing a lot, almost everyday, in here for a while...I've really missed this. I can always blog on MySpace but you have those people who add you just to be nosey always reading everything...and that gets annoying pretty fast. It's like if you say tonight is girls night at Rio (Mexican restaurant here) they're magically there the same time as you. So lame. So this is definitely my favorite place to share my thoughts or vent or whatever. I'm so bored today because I'm totally alone. My cousin is the quarterback for the high school here, and they made it to playoffs which is a huge deal for him...so most of my family is at the game, 3 hours away. I only found out this morning at like 8 that they were going with a knock on my door informing me if I wanted to go I had to be ready in like 30 minutes. I don't think so. Not that it takes me hours to get ready, but come on...that's such short notice to get all my stuff together. Oh well, it's rainy out anyway. Lance is hunting with his dad. They're big on it. It's fine with me, I hate the thought of it, but it's his choice so whatever. He killed one the other day and brought it by to show me and it really broke my heart. I mean I'm not against hunting, I just don't really like to think about it. It was still warm and soft and so beautiful and I don't know...it just made me so sad. He told me it ran into a little creek and laid down and died in the middle of it. I think that's just such a tragic ending. I told Lance I hated him, haha. It really is very sad though. Anyway, I've been so emotional and sentimental lately. I noticed it but I didn't actually realize the level at which I am now until I cried during a part of 90210. (LOL yes you read it right) It was when Val and Kelly exchange Christmas gifts. The whole time I was crying I felt so gay...because how corny is that show? It's almost as bad as Full House which is the king of corny. - I kind of like it though. Ever since I've been little I have never shown how I'm feeling. I don't do it on purpose or anything, it's just in me. People who are VERY close to me in my family are just like this and I have witnessed and experienced first hand the damage pride can do. I never want to cause pain that way for myself or for anyone else. So thank you 90210. =) I've been watching SoapNet a lot lately. I've never been into soaps but I love 'Happy Hour' with One Tree Hill, The OC, and of course, 90210...lol. I'm watching them all from their Pilot episodes so I'm trying to keep up with everything going on. I'm addicted now and it has to stop. I pushed back plans with Lance the other night just to see what happens with Nathan and Luke after he joins the team. Lance made so much fun of me, and I totally deserved it. I've also been watching the ongoing saga on General Hospital. I'm aware anyone who reads this is going to think I have no life, and some days I don't, so it's okay :P haha. I've been looking at different hairstyles all day on here. I would loooove to get my hair cut. Something short and choppy and messy. I love my long hair.. it's the longest and healthiest it's been in forever, but it's been the same for such a long time now. And I've never messed with my hair in any way, no color, no dramatic cuts or styles, nothing. So maybe it's time for a change. Who knows? I guess that's all for today. I've rambled long enough. I hope everyone is amazing! And has a very fun-filled Saturday while I'm home with my TV :).

Here are some pictures of Uggs...I couldn't pick just one. Here he is being regal and sophisticated, lol.. Trying to get the camera.. In my bathroom cabinet.. I caught him stalking something in the weeds behind my house.. Playing with his favorite toy mouse.. Close-up :)

Wow, it's been a really long time since I've been on SitDiary. I totally forgot the password to my old site on here -username eighty4- so I couldn't sign on. I'm so happy to make a new one! I've missed it =). I'm still with Lance. He's practicing now, in 2 locations, so he's doing really well. We're wonderful. I'm pretty confident in saying we'll get married. He talks about it a lot, and would love to do it like NOW, as would I, but there's so many things to consider. Where we would live, the money issues, me and school, etc. Lots of obstacles. I'm thinking the perfect time will be in about a year from now. Things should be a lot less jumbled together by then. It's good though, even if it takes longer than that. I've never been in a relationship that I can step back, look at it, and feel so amazing. I'm finally at a place that I have viewed from afar before and wanted really badly, and now I have it. Life is good. Things at the church are still moving along beautifully. I'm so fulfilled by my decision to step out and accept this position in the church. Being the Youth Director is something I never thought I would be doing, but it has been amazing. I'm very proud of my kids and their dedication. Not much else is going on. I am in the middle of re-doing/decorating my room so that's been taking up the past week. I absolutely hate painting. I thought I was going to love it, in my mind I had it all wrong - that Lance and I would paint and have so much fun - but it's SUCH hard work. We did get in a few paint fights so that made up for some of the aches and pains I'm feeling, lol. I painted 3 walls a color called Rice Paper, and the wall with my window a sage green color. It's very pretty and turned out more elegant/contemporary than I had expected. I'm very pleased. It's lovely. Tonight I have to run out after church and buy Uggs a new collar. This will be his 10th. He despises them and has somehow escaped from any I have ever put on him. I'm sure this won't be the last one I purchase. On the way I might pick up a vanilla iced coffee from McDonald's, I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it. That's my first entry. - Goodbye for now! :) -Holly
