what the holts have been up to, numbered for your reading convenience

1. We went camping in the San Isabel National Forest.


On the drive up which took like an hour, I was so annoyed with Jack because he kept talking about everything that could go wrong! Bears, mountain lions, thunderstorms, running off the freakishly curvy roads, creepy old men murderers, etc. Because it is apparently entertaining when I get annoyed,  Jack kept saying things like: "Wow, I can BEARly see the road" or "this drive is unBEARably long," etc etc. I was so mad at him, but I was trying not to laugh at the same time! I guess this is marriage. ;)


2. We had our very first "date night." We went out to dinner for some sushi and then hit...Blockbuster. Believe it or not, it still exists. And we saw some cool movies there too.


Check out the names on the back of Nailbiter!


3. I cleaned our house. Like. A lot. 


I don't have a picture of our house, because I'm going to post a video tour. But here is an adorable picture of Sarah, my junior bridesmaid!


4. We continued Jack's family's tradition of grilling out on Sunday. I have to point something out. I am darn good at making fires. I mean, I'm not trying to brag (just kidding, I'm totally trying to brag), but I made the fire on our camping trip and I made the grill work on a windy day. Jack had no idea he married a fire master. Muahaha. Oh, also. We got patio furniture! I love it. I've been reading on the lounge chair in the morning. I am mentioning the furniture here because I put it together while Jack grilled out. I'm not crazy!


5. I took this puppy on some runs. Afterwards, she lies around for hours. The best.





6. We got to see some of the images from the shoot with Alysson. 


Isn't she an amazing photographer?

On a similar note, our wedding photographer came out with a preview from our wedding. The pictures are just gorgeous:

7. We bought a bike for me and we went bike riding on the trail behind our house. We realized that it goes all over town, so we will be doing that soon! I also found out that there is a women's riding group that meets once a week, so I will definitely start doing that, especially when Jack deploys. I need to make some friends!

Yes, we are walking, not riding bikes here. Whatevs. I needed a picture!


8. I finally applied for some substitute teaching positions.

9. I sent my headshot and resume to a couple premiere talent agencies in Denver. Guess what? This girl has got an interview! More like an audition. Pray for me! I'm hoping to get represented by them and get some work acting. 


8. I will have you know that Jack made ME dinner last night. He's a keeper! I married him for a reason ;)




A few screen shots of Bethany's beautiful photos.

Jack and I were talking the other day, and we realize that we are living our dream. We are so blessed!

  1. Y'all are so cute :)

    Logan and I rented Nailbiter the other day! I don't watch scary movies anymore, but I made an exception to see my famous cousin. ;) We were impressed!
