I heighted at every meet and got a new PR (personal record) in pole vault 10 feet!! I had a really fun time and enjoyed all the support I got from my husband and others. <br />This is also my last semester in college. Brad and I will both walk on April 29th at Utah Valley University! We are so excited! Brad graduated in accounting and I am graduating in Exercise Science. We don't know where life will bring us, but we have faith that it will workout even with the trials we face.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEqtp2MBs8y8Ep8lnkJ6yPbJ9gMQMySpNl_1ktDPortZxL3_j7cujvWxoaCOQVDP0dJaPhxHmuaSfeY4QuPz7oqEZEE1-B17mmi7o8HdN0YcvvINb3jsx7Kk7C8jat5Y17lMR3SFz3rO__/s1600/pole+vault.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 244px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEqtp2MBs8y8Ep8lnkJ6yPbJ9gMQMySpNl_1ktDPortZxL3_j7cujvWxoaCOQVDP0dJaPhxHmuaSfeY4QuPz7oqEZEE1-B17mmi7o8HdN0YcvvINb3jsx7Kk7C8jat5Y17lMR3SFz3rO__/s320/pole+vault.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590447580087077234" /></a><br />Speaking of trials....I had a pole vault accident on this last Tuesday. I have torn my ACL in my left leg this time. It was my right leg the first time. This injury is a little worse because I also bruised my meniscus and PCL along with a small fracture in my femur bone. I will be getting surgery in May most likely but for now I am on crutches for two weeks to try to heal the fracture and get the swelling under control. After that, they are going to make a customized brace for my leg and see if I can give pole vaulting one more try for my senior year. However, I will be smart about the whole situation and if it hurts then I am out. I thank God for giving me the opportunities I have already had and for protecting me. He is always there for me and I know that nothing happens by chance...Sometimes the journey is rough but "Come what may and love it". This will help me grow even more. I do not regret any of my choices regarding track. Track is more than just a sport to me. It has helped me dig deep, work hard, be dedicated, and reach goals. I wouldn't trade my experiences for anything! I feel these qualities will only help me improve as a wife, mother, daughter, and friend. I have also had so much FUN! Thanks for all the love and support everyone!!<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhitAyup2C6ifNwOdMfJZV5hvUxwe6ak3616-P25by62vvDPiZSeTRGWsIFQx4t6eLJ2B-E9D9uUQeUeY4x2jveYIFM-DI5LrblAg0mCPkrkpIuQzOR8oKzZtG-rQb3dwoTFgRsLdIkOBGy/s1600/IMG_6217.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhitAyup2C6ifNwOdMfJZV5hvUxwe6ak3616-P25by62vvDPiZSeTRGWsIFQx4t6eLJ2B-E9D9uUQeUeY4x2jveYIFM-DI5LrblAg0mCPkrkpIuQzOR8oKzZtG-rQb3dwoTFgRsLdIkOBGy/s320/IMG_6217.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5590453092857306786" /></a>Allison and Brad Holyoakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14219230382130300073noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223245640497788410.post-39311824644934992692010-12-28T11:49:00.000-08:002010-12-28T12:42:47.486-08:00Christmas in Utah!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi93Q796zgSymwtyj1VZ5SGrLN0ruO0FUbfIrxWoK02Hb5fTxZO6-i-h82juOaCN-EJ2ij_0BmimoOrdqQ8YrqSGNQfWwUgDptjHEJITG6acFDXIp3pFPIbb68TmBrGFJqi7eSgBvcSEB9_/s1600/IMG_6495.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 310px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi93Q796zgSymwtyj1VZ5SGrLN0ruO0FUbfIrxWoK02Hb5fTxZO6-i-h82juOaCN-EJ2ij_0BmimoOrdqQ8YrqSGNQfWwUgDptjHEJITG6acFDXIp3pFPIbb68TmBrGFJqi7eSgBvcSEB9_/s400/IMG_6495.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5555824841114130530" /></a><br />(In this picture: Brad, our bear, Jackson (He is wearing his new outfit), & Allison)<br /><br />This year we had Christmas with the Holyoak family in Utah. It was my first Christmas away from home, but my family and Brad's family made it a fun one! We got packages of presents from my mom, dad, grandparents, aunt, and uncle! We were not expecting much, but we were extremely grateful for them all thinking of us! My mom even filled our stockings full and sent them in a package! I was so excited cause I was thinking of all the fun traditions we would miss out on.<br /><br />We also bought a 4 ft. tree. Yes I know it is small but we have an apartment and we thought it was cute.

Brad is in his last semester!!! He is so excited but nervous at the same time about finding jobs. I am in my second to last semester and am very anxious to be done. We have done a lot this fall semester!<br /><br />For Halloween, we decided to be Where's Waldo and Wenda! It was so much fun! It was a cheap/easy costume! Our ward party was Alice in Wonderland themed and it was so neat! We had food colored gravy, awesome cupcakes, painted white roses red, and made a madhatter's hat.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKcC61RzD6-KDhyq7y0myC-Rht0JCf_VKP2hAUUfVWCbkDDrMVR4JAAC8ISp2PrKBcmYmDT_3bE9M-N3Tjma1xf-TU51swsM5nLBDcLS200Mmyrlm5R-bxxdBW8M-SCPpFW45eMX58whZx/s1600/IMG_6000.JPG"><img style="display:block;

I LOVE my job!! I look forward to going to work. I love the patients and coworkers! I have made some special bonds with some of the patients. One patient that I have gotten really close to is like my grandma. She took Brad and I out to dinner! Today she told me she loved me and guess what?! I love her too! She is very lonely and widowed. Everyone thinks she is a grumpy old lady but she is the SWEETEST lady underneath. She has been through a lot!! All she needs is someone to love her and appreciate her.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRzIqJ4YtIzKTKNGnCWy3wF0u_OxgxE2CdC8bi0_55lA8cEo-bhSjZLYHYUd_21pweRKE2oaQ-7iG45xWHPwW6dZ2IvKvrcwjP54uztaf9mphwn7qjR4MtbqJ8ErQN02rCxqcgRjHKHCL4/s1600/IMG_6237.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRzIqJ4YtIzKTKNGnCWy3wF0u_OxgxE2CdC8bi0_55lA8cEo-bhSjZLYHYUd_21pweRKE2oaQ-7iG45xWHPwW6dZ2IvKvrcwjP54uztaf9mphwn7qjR4MtbqJ8ErQN02rCxqcgRjHKHCL4/s200/IMG_6237.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540701581696626946" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjWxT9U2lfxLbdExVhjDpmxxpraiVPvP3ziam_0Zrr82FgsT7o7xPBWp-JbkYtb5qSE0-lRiMzmBgY6S5S2UcQSvypMIbOLbmi6Puy-vrL9_UGnq2hkxXjwzjDEtSO79B60wgEJIfyuuy9/s1600/IMG_6184.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjjWxT9U2lfxLbdExVhjDpmxxpraiVPvP3ziam_0Zrr82FgsT7o7xPBWp-JbkYtb5qSE0-lRiMzmBgY6S5S2UcQSvypMIbOLbmi6Puy-vrL9_UGnq2hkxXjwzjDEtSO79B60wgEJIfyuuy9/s200/IMG_6184.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540701575435173314" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_yVOodDRM9qOQ1sXS3sBVPWKkctfsPU2krp73ILQ5RyCiLjDj7JHqAllUxDkL0WmwGGHPQjGISWKr4GUUeOBB-1XIDyE7Evnr7176vZS237659WazB__iybxb0HC4TKfBFUzmLBY_LZkV/s1600/IMG_6183.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_yVOodDRM9qOQ1sXS3sBVPWKkctfsPU2krp73ILQ5RyCiLjDj7JHqAllUxDkL0WmwGGHPQjGISWKr4GUUeOBB-1XIDyE7Evnr7176vZS237659WazB__iybxb0HC4TKfBFUzmLBY_LZkV/s200/IMG_6183.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540701571593743618" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihmwsrzNaVPR9LLIsgW1SNUwcOT5U-ENpvtaex2WgrFRcNrAp8TJDAioos1dL98op7gnRXQ60Wf1MoR4mC3xNO2VPB8xN6aGNUENQQu48oXSWCAyR9S-drmT7WWigVcYkwDyN5r-mPlZXd/s1600/IMG_6177.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihmwsrzNaVPR9LLIsgW1SNUwcOT5U-ENpvtaex2WgrFRcNrAp8TJDAioos1dL98op7gnRXQ60Wf1MoR4mC3xNO2VPB8xN6aGNUENQQu48oXSWCAyR9S-drmT7WWigVcYkwDyN5r-mPlZXd/s200/IMG_6177.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540701569870190754" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX1krJfZfzxqtkNXd7PqgsQ5olNr6wSDq4J-aDXnM_-JWlj0YRy8I3v97iiesQSEyTxEmOrhuTkgY9awrWSoQ2zA-PVhKpyxZFAC8r5n-ES_mEzsw_I_7N5cQNo3cEMdT39JeNKcGqWe0h/s1600/IMG_6175.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiX1krJfZfzxqtkNXd7PqgsQ5olNr6wSDq4J-aDXnM_-JWlj0YRy8I3v97iiesQSEyTxEmOrhuTkgY9awrWSoQ2zA-PVhKpyxZFAC8r5n-ES_mEzsw_I_7N5cQNo3cEMdT39JeNKcGqWe0h/s200/IMG_6175.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540701565006814098" /></a><br />My in-laws have been another huge blessing in my life. My family is in Virginia so sometimes it's hard, but my in-laws are so willing to help me feel love and they make sure to take care of me. I love them so much and am grateful I got good in-laws! They are taking the whole family on VACATION to DISNEYLAND in February! I am so EXCITED because I have never been to California or Disneyland! I will get to meet my role model...GOOFY!!! haha<br /><br />In school this semester, I decided to take an institute class (church class). I am taking Book of Mormon from Brother Hunter with Kristin. It has been another HUGE blessing. I have gained such a GREATER testimony and appreciation of the Book of Mormon! My teacher is AMAZING! He is so knowledgeable about the scriptures and so spiritual! He gives us tons of COOL quotes! If anybody wants copies let me know. I love the church! I love the temple and the blessings that come from keeping my covenants.<br /><br />Speaking of the temple, my GREAT friend Charlotte just got to go through the temple for the FIRST time last Friday! She is going on a mission to FIJI in February! She asked me to be her escort for her first time through the temple which was a huge honor to be with her! She is so smart and spiritual! I love her so much and she has been there for me many times.<br /><br />Brad has been working hard and doing so good at work! He is also doing great in school and hanging in there for his tough semester. He is a great husband and so supportive.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCcfr68amfToin5JHt2bi-dF7DffB3xgEKsdUh-XBpI0luUaBjE1B2V5g5bY7UEFGfOI5-eY2iL4YsHO0U45LMzt9KCfJ994R5SjtsjVh6HpBlL_s5KCJ2M8xj2di7ZydKUKBcp49XEpFZ/s1600/IMG_6211.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiCcfr68amfToin5JHt2bi-dF7DffB3xgEKsdUh-XBpI0luUaBjE1B2V5g5bY7UEFGfOI5-eY2iL4YsHO0U45LMzt9KCfJ994R5SjtsjVh6HpBlL_s5KCJ2M8xj2di7ZydKUKBcp49XEpFZ/s200/IMG_6211.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540703207236371602" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTFbocAx42CJfKYb_-6s5r64zXivz7v3njxMnSiQzrjwAmqXzXvJXuLw4P_qDGpMLD-jad9dIXNNfLSV8kP_TmXAmD5hu_Th0CCgNgAvzdZ2N-jfD0IqlMFwprwgRhHzxx5fwrULHv3HyA/s1600/IMG_6216.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTFbocAx42CJfKYb_-6s5r64zXivz7v3njxMnSiQzrjwAmqXzXvJXuLw4P_qDGpMLD-jad9dIXNNfLSV8kP_TmXAmD5hu_Th0CCgNgAvzdZ2N-jfD0IqlMFwprwgRhHzxx5fwrULHv3HyA/s200/IMG_6216.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540703197723613874" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhRYPBwiy7-aewhyfgKO0Aakimyv7wpksQuZekZIhW7YKmooKu5ejOqi2_J6FERF2Co6CXeBQgpx56VaL53WrKbgBJYezmK_9w3MvDa5qsEM0lB4LtBcImvQRV2KHJwsk4TGL55Eg-QUQb/s1600/IMG_6217.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhhRYPBwiy7-aewhyfgKO0Aakimyv7wpksQuZekZIhW7YKmooKu5ejOqi2_J6FERF2Co6CXeBQgpx56VaL53WrKbgBJYezmK_9w3MvDa5qsEM0lB4LtBcImvQRV2KHJwsk4TGL55Eg-QUQb/s200/IMG_6217.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540703191580633890" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54uWYVmV2-746tRVZS_GBV1Epq_PDzok3BZV8SFgm8uhC1E0ZM8YHfF7piqHgyjfpW50zdGNTzyjgrVxRBYphZ5bm85s9JSFnzAMrC1QyGdSOEd10_TIgLOxi8WL3-gp5Hg3ha8zzjHCf/s1600/IMG_5981.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj54uWYVmV2-746tRVZS_GBV1Epq_PDzok3BZV8SFgm8uhC1E0ZM8YHfF7piqHgyjfpW50zdGNTzyjgrVxRBYphZ5bm85s9JSFnzAMrC1QyGdSOEd10_TIgLOxi8WL3-gp5Hg3ha8zzjHCf/s200/IMG_5981.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5540703189492080818" /></a><br />We have been so blessed with amazing family and friends!

Brad had to work on our anniversary, but he sent me beautiful flowers for a surprise. I got out our huge "toasting glasses" that we used at our wedding reception and decided we would make it a tradition to use them at dinner on our anniversary (as long as we have them) every year! It always makes me laugh!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFZLkRwV7km4rqCvn9XYY0WNbACjoJT6s-fWn-LeyaxOc7EmWPO-gPas2X7vsjsfPWtnibHaJ2p-NR7KDu-FrItx7Ao9aaMj7Az1vYVJkCsI4PwJ_SUh87uLwkq8PyTEIpgf6aKemreJR8/s1600/IMG_5397.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFZLkRwV7km4rqCvn9XYY0WNbACjoJT6s-fWn-LeyaxOc7EmWPO-gPas2X7vsjsfPWtnibHaJ2p-NR7KDu-FrItx7Ao9aaMj7Az1vYVJkCsI4PwJ_SUh87uLwkq8PyTEIpgf6aKemreJR8/s320/IMG_5397.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499424674414878402" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgggF3LNCVSVNUt5B2QkUuI7ZBCoGqdCXgBGc3pRorLr_fsKSXpp5JzkVRSOg7swhdzHvZQFjmpKh3UaCli4HM0c2mMKdSZpMFigeG05rk0eJJwDC2L2ORRcitanS1LVKEtyLe07l_wlaac/s1600/IMG_5411.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgggF3LNCVSVNUt5B2QkUuI7ZBCoGqdCXgBGc3pRorLr_fsKSXpp5JzkVRSOg7swhdzHvZQFjmpKh3UaCli4HM0c2mMKdSZpMFigeG05rk0eJJwDC2L2ORRcitanS1LVKEtyLe07l_wlaac/s320/IMG_5411.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499422953108482450" /></a><br />Our cake was GROSS so I decided to make a new one since the top of our cake was made out of Funfetti cake mix and then put our cake toppers on top. It was DELICIOUS and we didn't get sick. My AWESOME friend Rebecca, who lives in Virginia, remembered our anniversary and sent us a card with a book called, "Fun and Creative Dates for Married Couples". We are so excited to have more date ideas!

I guess the 1st year anniversary gift tradition is supposed to be paper so that's what I got him. He bought tickets to go see TARZAN at the Tuacahn Outdoor Theater in St. George, UT!!! It was sooooooo MUCH FUN!!! I LOVED IT!!! It was really hot though I will admit! We also got to go to Zion's National Park. It was absolutely beautiful and breath taking! We hiked up to Weeping Rock. It is awesome! I would love to go back and eventually hike to Angel's Landing and go on some other hikes! We took a lot of pictures! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBlWVEUoD3ZO9t8QwvvkbZCQpPYWmpJmUWW-h_x4PlMkR5OwviNHmRPJIv_H2HTD2Iyc6YY8a6HaTazeaD4kpaPicDux4hMLiOeY_J0qhFPHEGuNhrAI3nGf9mM7TJIxYICDwvTWhSIvHD/s1600/IMG_5556.JPG"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBlWVEUoD3ZO9t8QwvvkbZCQpPYWmpJmUWW-h_x4PlMkR5OwviNHmRPJIv_H2HTD2Iyc6YY8a6HaTazeaD4kpaPicDux4hMLiOeY_J0qhFPHEGuNhrAI3nGf9mM7TJIxYICDwvTWhSIvHD/s320/IMG_5556.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5499429787685384258" /></a><br />We also decided to rent a car instead of taking ours because we were afraid of it over heating or something, but renting a car was DEFINITELY a GREAT decision!

The first picture above was on July 16, 2008. It was a beautiful day and I couldn't help but reflect on our past memories of being at Stewart Falls. I love waterfalls!! On July 16, 2008 (a year before we were married), Brad took me to Stewart Falls. We packed a lunch with Subway sandwiches and it was just the two of us on this hike. We reached the falls after a two mile hike and were anxious to eat!! haha After eating, he took me closer to the waterfall and said "Allison, I love you!" For those of you who know Brad he NEVER calls me Allison EXCEPT for the MOST serious moments. He called me Allison on that day and then when he proposed to me. The more common names he uses for me are Babe and Baby. haha I then responded back to him that I loved him too.

I WON!! Ok anyways the funny part is that I knew I loved him before he told me and I had planned to do an Easter egg scavenger hunt to tell him that I loved him because I was growing impatient to wait for him to tell me. I chickened out and thought I might freak him out or something because of his past relationship stories! I would be on the verge of just screaming it to him but then he always shared some story about a girl coming on to him too fast!! haha My stress was broken when we went on that hike and he FINALLY told me!! Later I found out that he wanted to marry me a year before we actually did but he didn't want to scare me away either. Our marriage came at the PERFECT time and the most appropriate time.

I will admit that this hike seemed both easier in some ways but harder in other ways. It was easier in the fact that I think I am finally caught up with this altitude thing but harder because of uneven ground with my knee that I had surgery on about a year and a half ago. I guess the uneven ground makes me work muscles I am not used to and had lost from the surgery so it was sore but better today.<br /><br />It's hard to believe that Brad and I will be celebrating our one year anniversary NEXT MONTH!! It has flown by and been a lot of fun! We are so grateful for all the support we continue to get from our friends and families! We are EXTREMELY grateful for our temple marriage and for Heavenly Father watching over us and blessing our lives. Sometimes we have had some difficult experiences but with every challenge there is an opportunity to learn and grow from it. I am glad we don't have to be alone facing it and that we have a loving Savior who knows exactly what we are going through. <br /><br />PS... Brad, I still love you. <3 (Picture below: Brad wanted me to curl my hair and he LOVES kissing pictures! haha I must admit that I like my hair curly too.)<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Ytpmq7jqbMgp073gmcfwNfIkqTawYMS7hR_J6T69kaG6C3tT4cnD-7yfao5WgWoFHMClFknJTTQ_ggvuhU3bz78AoMD5Tb4feYMREXR8r4X3jAiSHyE0FClc7dKDvGsQzbnTLLaP2f98/s1600/IMG_5151.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8Ytpmq7jqbMgp073gmcfwNfIkqTawYMS7hR_J6T69kaG6C3tT4cnD-7yfao5WgWoFHMClFknJTTQ_ggvuhU3bz78AoMD5Tb4feYMREXR8r4X3jAiSHyE0FClc7dKDvGsQzbnTLLaP2f98/s320/IMG_5151.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5477924911053780082" /></a>Allison and Brad Holyoakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14219230382130300073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223245640497788410.post-65116018394720336242010-05-12T20:05:00.000-07:002010-05-12T20:06:02.453-07:00<div><embed src="http://widget-a5.slide.com/widgets/slideticker.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" quality="high" scale="noscale" salign="l" wmode="transparent" flashvars="cy=bb&il=1&channel=2882303761551264677&site=widget-a5.slide.com" style="width:400px;height:320px" name="flashticker" align="middle"></embed><div style="width:400px;text-align:left;"><a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2882303761551264677&map=1" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a5.slide.com/p1/2882303761551264677/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide1.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2882303761551264677&map=2" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a5.slide.com/p2/2882303761551264677/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide2.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a> <a href="http://www.slide.com/pivot?cy=bb&at=un&id=2882303761551264677&map=F" target="_blank"><img src="http://widget-a5.slide.com/p4/2882303761551264677/bb_t000_v000_s0un_f00/images/xslide42.gif" border="0" ismap="ismap" /></a></div></div>Allison and Brad Holyoakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14219230382130300073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223245640497788410.post-716465426750266532010-05-12T19:17:00.000-07:002010-05-12T19:44:13.537-07:00Brad's 26th Birthday!Yesterday was Brad's 26th birthday! Our neighbors made an awesome dinner but I can't remember what it was called. haha It was tasty! We had all our neighbors together except for the Udalls because of their recent addition to their family but they did leave a present for Brad on the door. It was taped with princess tape because they had ran out of normal tape! It was very cute! <br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-8Ez6VA-JRy7Br07TDNthBahBGBOfYSJEXTL1m3CxY6ETFDmjNdU11-pphGQ3O-Uu98dhcGvt_eoK3h6D-akxZMoWHG_4l9_k_XdkH_ziit3I1s2bsqeB3h1qXCn-TIaP2z1VoJ9GHMYl/s1600/IMG_5073.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-8Ez6VA-JRy7Br07TDNthBahBGBOfYSJEXTL1m3CxY6ETFDmjNdU11-pphGQ3O-Uu98dhcGvt_eoK3h6D-akxZMoWHG_4l9_k_XdkH_ziit3I1s2bsqeB3h1qXCn-TIaP2z1VoJ9GHMYl/s320/IMG_5073.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470578752500037458" /></a><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbbOf3Ntc5b7ZQk6xTYrU3jAbZn9o9KMqVQP_RiFjY1gKxAbywYMTMPy7u6zH60DXim96B5kkUEztkpUluRp0Ci57nZZRzJtFY_7wvlFmuzgxiD_mMBGj61RHD5apNCrr2iNcpw-U3MPYE/s1600/IMG_5074.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbbOf3Ntc5b7ZQk6xTYrU3jAbZn9o9KMqVQP_RiFjY1gKxAbywYMTMPy7u6zH60DXim96B5kkUEztkpUluRp0Ci57nZZRzJtFY_7wvlFmuzgxiD_mMBGj61RHD5apNCrr2iNcpw-U3MPYE/s320/IMG_5074.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470578756393197234" /></a><br />I made Brad's favorite cake which is funfetti but this time he wanted CHOCOLATE icing...I guess I have rubbed off on him a little bit. haha. Geordan and I got Sponge Bob party hats and the party favors that you blow...I don't know what you even call what I am talking about but anyways just look at the pictures. :)<br /><br />Brad got a new phone for his birthday which was very appreciated not only by him but everyone he texts too! His number 2 button didn't work so he couldn't use the letters A,B, or C when he text. I would get some texts that would read like this: "Jump your hert out e" Translation: Jump your heart out Babe! Another one: "Let's hve m n heese for dinner tonight" Translation: Let's have mac and cheese tonight. The best one that I laughed at for awhile was when I was headed home from a track meet and Brad would text me saying, "r u lose yet? I love you." haha The real translation is "Are you CLOSE yet? I love you! hahahahaha It adds adventure to my life but I am extremely grateful I don't have to translate Brad text language anymore! haha<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigoiCVSfHkcA5GiOFzB5O8YGuNYc5b_0yYqHqr_Eh9YDi0BqklvlLHdRMJAG_Osv9U1f1DRMIQek-tltlAskXRlkHV8lIrQqgmUvTU5jJIN5-Uk13mwyKK5lE5qNskgqDNs1cM8uo8M56b/s1600/IMG_5069.JPG"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEigoiCVSfHkcA5GiOFzB5O8YGuNYc5b_0yYqHqr_Eh9YDi0BqklvlLHdRMJAG_Osv9U1f1DRMIQek-tltlAskXRlkHV8lIrQqgmUvTU5jJIN5-Uk13mwyKK5lE5qNskgqDNs1cM8uo8M56b/s320/IMG_5069.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5470578767731821154" /></a><br />Brad also got a whole case of BROWNIES from his mom for his birthday! The story behind this one is that Brad and I would go to his parents' house on Sundays and have dinner and what not. Every time before we would leave, Brad would run downstairs to steal a box of brownies from his parents food storage! Debbie would say," Brad, quit stealing my brownies!" haha He never stopped till last year for a wedding gift we got a whole case of brownies from her!! We have since ran out from then so Brad's birthday present was perfect. On a side note, we don't usually eat the whole box of brownies ourselves...we have made it a tradition to bake brownies and watch Extreme Makeover Home Edition on most of our Sundays and then share them with friends or neighbors. It seems to bring lots of smiles so it's fun. Well enjoy the pictures!! We love you all!Allison and Brad Holyoakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14219230382130300073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223245640497788410.post-38330550230142228102010-05-06T21:32:00.000-07:002010-05-06T21:56:05.165-07:00Just Today..<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikURruOVYoDzn8Re-QAwzmx0FHSczaXTDtV3ns2WLXo2_K0z06J5L7j4-1IY1UooZiYykziPBOVt7mRHAHdjfc_HMDHz36scNNBxBzLvpyMe6L-l8lRIlpnTT4boo8PTXHK12UgIaYOAo8/s1600/IMG10849.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikURruOVYoDzn8Re-QAwzmx0FHSczaXTDtV3ns2WLXo2_K0z06J5L7j4-1IY1UooZiYykziPBOVt7mRHAHdjfc_HMDHz36scNNBxBzLvpyMe6L-l8lRIlpnTT4boo8PTXHK12UgIaYOAo8/s320/IMG10849.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5468387338546373394" /></a><br />Dinner last night we had our neighbor's homemade baked fried chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans, and honey dew melon. It was good.<br /><br />Yesterday was a VERY warm day here in Orem so I assumed that it would be an AMAZING day for a track meet in Weber but to my surprise, in Ogden, it was FREEZING and VERY WINDY!! Not good weather elements for a pole vaulter. There were 16 girl vaulters including me and my teammate Melissa and out of all of us only THREE girls heighted!! That tells you how RIDICULOUS this meet was. I actually might have feared for my life at this meet...seriously. It was so bad that the pole wasn't steady when running down the runway not to mention only a select few of us even made it off the ground! Anyways in short, it was a sucky meet. <br /><br />Today, I woke up to check the travel list for conference championships. I was ranked 7th in pole vault and my teammate 6th. Neither one of us made it on the travel list. I was ok with it...not happy...but ok, but my teammate Melissa was NOT happy. This was her last season of track so it took a toll on her...she just got her nitch back and everything so it was kind of devastating. We have been through our ups and downs together, but all in all I can say I have an amazingly talented teammate and friend. We both did our best during the season and I am proud of that. I have come back from having ACL surgery in one year and broken all my personal records in my events. I reached 9 feet 6 inches in pole vault and 15 feet 7.5 inches in long jump. I also can do power cleans that weight as much as I do in weight lifting and am stronger than I ever have been before. I feel great. I feel accomplished. I thank God for giving me another chance at a unique opportunity to be on a college track team and for all the talents He has given me.<br /><br />For dinner, it was my turn to cook. I made my daddy's cheesy spaghetti recipe with french garlic bread. It turned out pretty good and the neighbors seemed to like it. While making the bread, I cut my finger! I was doing too many things at once haha. Then I found out that one of our neighbors were going to the hospital to be induced to have their baby!! She is due with her baby boy on May 18th so it's not too early. It was funny watching her husband run around with his head cut off and trying to figure everything out...I can only imagine what it will be like when that happens to me and Brad (If we are blessed with kids). Hopefully we will be somewhat ready when that time comes. haha<br /><br />I waited for Brad all day today cause I always miss him when he is at work...I feel bad cause he works SO HARD and DILIGENTLY...he deserves to be able to relax and I wish I could ease his burden a little bit. I am so grateful for him and for all he does. Well, kind of a lot to say, but I am going to go eat some brownies with my husband!!Allison and Brad Holyoakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14219230382130300073noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223245640497788410.post-16600915255173230992010-05-05T11:32:00.000-07:002010-05-05T11:52:33.159-07:00SUNSHINY DAY!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyyVzuhdDogPXTfAV-YBYUARjDV_TGK4ve9hHPkhhNZl3bae9g9VbQe9x-4u3t0BrSWz4k6DwecUlO-nFP_H3suSxxCWsPzN3NIWpc22YRR7gO8-ObA3iATmRb_cSldzyc77C1Q2l_4XC6/s1600/IMG_4877.JPG"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjyyVzuhdDogPXTfAV-YBYUARjDV_TGK4ve9hHPkhhNZl3bae9g9VbQe9x-4u3t0BrSWz4k6DwecUlO-nFP_H3suSxxCWsPzN3NIWpc22YRR7gO8-ObA3iATmRb_cSldzyc77C1Q2l_4XC6/s320/IMG_4877.JPG" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467859802759659586" /></a><br />So Brad and I have the coolest neighbors in our 4 plex. We are all starting a garden and we are so EXCITED to be able to have fresh vegetables and fruits!! Brad's sister Melanie is going to teach me how to make salsa and to can them...or jar them or whatever! haha The salsa she makes is sooo good!<br /><br />Another reason why are neighbors are awesome is that one couple decided that each of us could make dinner for the 4 plex once a week. So an example of how this works is this: Couple 1 cooks dinner for 3 other couples including themselves on Tuesday, while couple 2 would cook dinner on Wednesday and so on. It's great because with only two people in your family you always have leftovers so you actually save money and time! It's a win win situation. We just started this yesterday. Our neighbors cooked roast with cooked carrots and potatoes! It was yummy! I'll let you know what we get for dinner tonight from our other neighbors!! <br /><br />This morning we woke and all Brad would say was "Baby, baby...the sun is out!! Time to get up!". We were so HAPPY to see the SUN!! We decided to go on a walk before Brad had to go to work. I have a track meet today so I will be pole vaulting at 5:30 this evening! It's called a "Twilite" meet which as you could figure out means it's an evening meet. I think it will be fun and it's the last regular season meet so I'm going to have fun no matter what! oh just so you know, the sweatshirt that Brad is wearing in the picture is actually mine but it is so HUGE that he wears it more than I do haha! Looks good on him!Allison and Brad Holyoakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14219230382130300073noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5223245640497788410.post-74694665649731881722010-05-04T19:16:00.000-07:002010-05-04T19:32:01.330-07:00We are starting a Blog!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS3rPzvTpxDCt_ojhZpSLx7Dpq9DajpLWJIqxurnexXegbh2YWWM3LCM-XD8PDLxQ9nt2AhQXiOde5iJMwITzug0_MWpL-b5TG2rxuKCXeOZ8MLEtUS1L15fdjBfJUUekpAI-WIi0LaqEL/s1600/IMG10900.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 214px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS3rPzvTpxDCt_ojhZpSLx7Dpq9DajpLWJIqxurnexXegbh2YWWM3LCM-XD8PDLxQ9nt2AhQXiOde5iJMwITzug0_MWpL-b5TG2rxuKCXeOZ8MLEtUS1L15fdjBfJUUekpAI-WIi0LaqEL/s320/IMG10900.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5467606448631885154" /></a><br />So I have given in and decided to start a blog to keep friends and family updated on our new life together. I will probably add our wedding pictures so that all of you can see and share some thoughts of our wedding day. Here is one for now. haha You have to wait till I get more free time for more.<br /><br />So a little bit about us in our present day lives is that we are both in college at Utah Valley University pursuing our Bachelor's degrees. Brad will graduate in December 2010 in Accounting but walk in the Spring of 2011 with me graduating with a degree in exercise science. I am apart of the UVU Track & Field Team and love it! Brad is very supportive of me which I am EXTREMELY grateful for!! We can't wait for this summer to be able to spend time with each other and have new and exciting adventures as "still" newlyweds!! haha We love each other and love our supportive families and friends!Allison and Brad Holyoakhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14219230382130300073noreply@blogger.com2
