Meet Holland Rose

I am a car owner! I have been searching for the "perfect" car for a while and I lucked out. I bought my first car. Her name is Holland Rose. I introduced her on facebook by describing her hobbies: bubble baths, an occassional waxing, chilling out to Jack Johnson and long drives in the moonlight. Yes, I know that I humanizing my car. I figured that since Holland and I will be spending lots of time together, we should enjoy the time together though.

Do you want to see a picture of her?


Yeah, that is Holland Rose. My family likes to make fun of how I named my car. Well, I wanted to name my car because she is mine. She is my baby. She has to have a name. Her color is champagne. I wanted to name a type of champagne. All of the names were french. I don't really want a french car. One of the types of champagne had the name "rose". I liked the name, so I decided her name was rose. I looked up "girl car names" on google (yes I did!), and Holland came up. I loved the name Holland. I liked both of them, so she had both names. I know it sounds ridiculous, but that is her name.

She is a good car. She runs well and the previous car owner took really good care of the car. I am very happy with it so far. I love having a car! I can come and go as I please. I don't need to be home at a certain time to have  my mom driver her car. I can personalize my car. I get to pay monthly car payments and insurance (not the good part), but it is worth it. I have my freedom with my car. Do you know the song by Brad Paisley about all he wanted was a car? I understand completely.

So, that is my other big news...I am a car owner! There goes my paycheck :)

P.S. My car likes Taylor Swift. When I was playing it on my ipod, I knew Holland was happy with Taylor Swift.

Intangible Things

Last night I was thinking about how Disney calls merchandise "tangible memories". I thought it was stupid how they changed the name, but then It made me think about the tangible and intangible things in our lives. There are so many tangible things that we give value to. That one Steve Madden purse I fell in love with has a lot of value to me. Why? Because it is pretty. :) My cell phone has value to me because that is how I keep in contact with my friends and family. I could go on and on about the tangible things I love to have, but the point of this blog is to talk about the intangible things we have.  I think that the value of the intangible things in our lives is much greater than the tangible. The intangible include: love, memories, pain, and joy. These things are hard to measure; we can't hold them in our hand. We can't say I have two ounces of love and one inch of pain. There is no measurement for love. I remember when I was younger reading the book about how m...

Learning to Let Go

Yes, that is my lesson that I have been learning the last couple of months. Update on my life: I postponed my mission. I feel really good about my decision. I was planning on leaving to the MTC on July 31st. The best way to explain my decision is that life changes and curve balls are thrown at you. It was a very confusing time of my life as I was deciding whether or not to postpone my mission, but I made sure that I was making the right decision. I want to go back to school and continue my "career" or pathway to a career. I want to be a social worker and feel like I can serve God with my career. So, I am staying home. I have a testimony of the church and I respect all the missionaires serving right now. If I was 19, I would have a different outlook as a missionary. At this time, I feel like I should be spending my time in other areas of my life. And it is important to realize that sisters are not commanded to serve a full time mission. Member missionary work is important ...

Recent Changes

So, I haven't written in here for a long time. I thought I might write about recent events in my life. My winter break was fantastic and really long. I am not used to having a month long break so I didn't know what to do with myself. The first part of my break, right after finals, I spent way too much time watching Netflix. I would just lay there in my pajamas and enjoy doing nothing. When you are really busy, it is nice to do nothing at some point. After getting bored of doing nothing, my brother came home for Christmas time. We had lots of family time just talking, playing games and catching up. I experienced one of the most beautiful days in San Francisco. We went hiking in Marine County and looked over all the bay. It was absolutely stunning and brought a lot of new perspective. I love being outdoors because the perspective from nature reminds me of God's love for us. I had a friend from BYU visit for New Years Eve week. I have told her all about my hometown and ...
