Okay, so I know I've been slack about blogging these past few months! Sorry! But today I came across an article that really got me thinking and really touched my heart, so I wanted to share it with y'all.
The article is called "60 Tiny Love Stories to Make You Smile". Those little stories definitely made me smile :)! These stories reminded me to be thankful for the love I have, not only with my boyfriend, but with my family, friends, and even kind strangers. Please take the time to read these, they'll make your day! (:

Day 24 - Something you've learned
I've learned several things throughout life. Some are things that people have told me, others are things I've had to learn the hard way. The hard way is not my favorite but that's usually how it happens because I don't always listen to what other people tell me. Something I've learned recently is that you have to move on from things. You can't dwell on the past or what was. You have to make the best of what you've got and live in the present. It's unhealthy and unsatisfying to dwell on things and live in the past. My boyfriend, Josh, is the person that taught me this. He has been trying to tell me this for a really long time because I could never move on from anything. If something bad happened, I couldn't think about or concentrate on anything else. It aggravated him so much because it brought me down. I wouldn't be the person I wanted to be. I would hold whatever happened against whoever did it and be mad until the next bad thing happened. Recently I've realized that he's right. Things are going to happen all the time that I don't like, but it's out of my control. I have to accept it and move on with other things in life. There is no need in wasting my time on something that isn't really going to affect my future or that doesn't really matter. I've just got to live life and enjoy what is happening NOW.

playing catch up... again.
These past two weeks I've been forgetting to blog! I've just been so busy with break and everything! But I am making it up!! So here are the last couple I missed!!
Day 21 - Picture of yourself
Day 22 - Favorite city
Hmm, favorite city... I haven't really ever put that much though into a "favorite" city but here goes...
I have to pick two because I can't make it just one. The first would be Destin. I went there last year with my sister and sister in law and we enjoyed it so much. We went to the beach a lot but there was still other things to do. We were never bored and could always find something to entertain us. We ate some good meals in some nice restaurants. It was too short of a trip and we definitely could have used a few more days to spend on the beach and maybe even shop a little. I would definitely enjoy going again.
Secondly I love Pigeon Forge. Mom, if you're reading this I know I complain about Pigeon Forge but you can only go there so many years in a row. I feel like in Pigeon Forge there is never a dull moment, and if you think there is then you must be missing out on something. My family has gone there several times for family vacations and we have never run out of things to do.
Day 23 - Favorite vacation
My favorite vacation has to be my Alaskan Cruise this summer. It was so much fun and something so different! (Look in one of the earlier challenges to read more about it)

Day 20 - Nicknames
Hey! So I remembered to blog today! :) Today's topic is nicknames, I'm not sure where I'm going to go with that but here is goes:
- HollyMo: Originated in 2006. This nickname came about when I was writing a note to someone and when I was signing my name on it the bell rang for class to be dismissed. I didn't finish writing my name and completely forgot. So when he read it he began to call me Holly Mo and it stuck. I was called that all through high school and even occasionally today.
- Holly Wolly
- Holls: This was my nickname in middle school. Almost everyone called me that and I still get called that by random people today.

Whoops!
I got behind again! My bad. So today will be three challenges like last post.
Day 17 - Something you're looking forward to
I think the biggest thing I'm looking forward too that's coming up soon is Christmas Break! I'm sooo ready for this semester to be over. It started out going by so fast but recently it has slowed way down and I just can't take it anymore! But only two weeks and then it will be Christmas break! And soon after Jennifer will be down for Christmas! (: I'm just ready for a break and some family and friend time! It will be nice to get away from Statesboro for a little bit and relax.
Day 18 - Something you regret
Hmmm, something I regret. This is a tough topic. I mean there have always been times when I think wow I shouldn't have said/done that, but in the end it's all worked out. It happened for a reason and I probably learned a lesson from it if it was a mistake. I guess I would say that as unbelievable as it may be that I don't regret anything. Part of that is because once a few years ago I read a quote that said "Don't regret anything because at one time that's what made you happy." And that is so completely true. I've lived by that quote ever since. There are things that sometimes I wish I wouldn't have gone through or had to learn from. But in the end it's all made me who I am today and the things that will make me who I am in the future. I have always been happy with how things have ended up and can truly say that I don't regret anything!
Day 19 - Something you miss
Something I miss is my family! Lately I've been missing like my whooole family. I have been busy with school and stuff and haven't had much time to go home or spend with the family. And I miss my out of town family too! I haven't seen most of them since summer. I just saw my sister for the first time in what was almost a year! I just wish there was more time to spend with them and not everyone was so far away. But I guess I will hopefully see some of them for the holidays soon!
