I am SOOO kidding! As you continue reading you will understand. Last Christmas Hugh bought me a sewing machine and it wasn't until this LAST weekend that I did anything with it. I wanted one so I could make crafty things for the home! Hugh's mom showed me some of the basics when she was here and I was off! My starter project was a heating pad. After my first stitch (shown below) the thread came out. It took me (and Hugh) 45 minutes to figure out i was turning the hand wheel the wrong way to get it threaded correctly! Now should we talk about this stitch? Yeah, let's not....<br />

After I got over that hurdle I was off and the finished project was a success. I filled it with rice (pour some good smelling oil on the rice) throw it in the microwave for 90 seconds and you have a great heating pad!</div>

My first Thanksgiving as a married woman! We were in VA for the holiday and Hugh's parents, brother and aunt came and stayed with us for a few days. It was so nice being with family. This was the first time I ever cooked a turkey OR even a Thanksgiving meal. I researched the menu and selected dishes that had great reviews and it did not disappoint. The turkey was moist and we had cranberry salad, a sweet potato dish, mashed potatoes with gravy, stuffing and a green bean casserole. It was yummy.<br />

I absolutely LOVE my husband! I got back last Thursday after being back in California for 10 days and walked into the house with the above signs. On the back of each note Hugh had written me little notes on why he was glad to have his wife back! :) Seriously HOW ROMANTIC! :) THEN on the counter he had a envelope with a gift card and a note to pack my bags because he was taking me away for the weekend.<br />

He planned our weekend away in Richmond which is a little over two hours. We left Friday afternoon and got there around 4:00. We got checked into our hotel, went to dinner and then a movie. On Saturday, we went shopping and Maggiano's for dinner! There was even a Hobby Lobby which I got SO EXCITED about. That was a learning experience as Hugh and I came to the full realization that we have different tastes! :)<br />

Saturday night we had a night at home and continued watching LOST. We started this on our honeymoon and just finished season 4. We have settled on a church Heritage Baptist and decided on a sunday school. This is exciting as Hugh and I are starting to make church friends! :) We invited our leaders over next Sunday after church for lunch, It was such a fun weekend and I was reminded time and time again what a blessing marriage is and what a bigger blessing HUGH is! </div>

Who would of thought we would end up in Lynchburg, VA....NOT ME! :) I can honestly say without a doubt I know this is where God wanted us! The day we got back from our honeymoon we realized we weren't supposed to stay in California and the Lord was making it very clear that we would be headed to Virginia.<br />
The same day we got back I got the flu! Horrible flu! Can I just tell you how thankful I was to be married and having the flu?! I remembered the previous year getting the flu, I was all alone, so sick and just laying on the couch crying! I remember praying and asking the Lord to bring me a husband who would be by my side in these times. A year later...here I was laying on the couch SICK, and my husband was laying next to me, hugging me and reading the bible to me to encourage me. FOR REAL....doesn't get much better than that! I started crying and told Hugh about my prayer the year before and how thankful I was that he was there with me. Truly a blessing.<br />
When I went back to work two days later I talked to my boss and he asked me to stay on staff and try working remotely. I would fly back and forth as needed and the next week was finalizing those plans. God has been so good in this process. Not only were we quickly moving across the Country but I got to keep my job with TMC which I TRULY LOVE! Blessing after blessing.<br />

The move across Country with my best friend was so great. We had a big group of friends come and help us pack up on a Friday night and we took off around 8 PM. We drove straight through to Texas and stayed with our friends Brady and Megan Schenk. So fun to see them in their home. Then Sunday morning we left early and drove straight to TN.<br />

Monday morning we drove about 4 hours and got to spend the day with my sister and her family. That was fun! Then on Tuesday we made it to Lynchburg. We drove straight to our apartment (which we had never seen) and I LOVE it! We even had about 8 guys show up to help us move in! The first week was so great making a home with Hugh! We would unpack, run errands and just spent time together. It was such a great time. We've been here a few months already and I can't believe how fast the time has flown. I am so grateful for this time with Hugh and the way the Lord has directed our steps.

Three words....BEST. TIME. EVER. We ended up staying in Los Angeles the first two nights. On Saturday, we hadn't packed for our cruise and thought since our whole family was still in the area that we would head back to Santa Clarita to say goodbye to them. On Sunday Hampton and Abby picked us up at the hotel to take us to the port for our cruise. It was so fun to get to go away with my husband for the first time and get to spend a whole week TOGETHER!!!!<br />

We ended up taking a 6 night cruise to Mexico. Hugh and I were wondering if that was going to be too long to be on the boat but it wasn't. We had tons of fun. On the boat we would take cards to the deck and play games, went to a couple shows, we borrowed the season of "Lost" from our friends and we would watch hours of "Lost" every day and we read. It was such a sweet time. We were in Cabo two days and one of those days we went off the ship and took a boat tour and rented a jet ski. Then the fourth day we stopped in Puerto Vallarta. We ended up going on a tour of the city. It was a lot of fun. We went to the jungle and all around the city.<br />

Hugh and I got married at 7:00 pm in our friend's backyard. It was so special. Our wedding party walked down to "Great is they Faithfulness" by Cece Winans and I walked down to "You and I" by Steve Wonder (sung by Michael Buble'). </div>

Our good friend, mentor and my boss Mark Tatlock married us! In pre-marital counseling we had to write our own covenant to each other and we decided to use them for our vows in our wedding. I really liked this as it made things so personal for Hugh and I. We also shared communion for the first time as husband and wife. This was probably my favorite part of the whole ceremony. WAIT...i take that back....the first kiss was my favorite! :) I am so thankful to be Mrs. Hugh Jackson!<br />

I think Hugh and I win the award for the shortest reception! We personally dismissed everyone from the wedding so we could say hello to everyone. We knew that we wouldn't be able to spend time with each person that came so this was our way of getting to thank everyone. Once that was done, we cut the cake and had the wedding party speeches. MY favorite was my sister's. She wrote words to the tune "Isn't she Lovely" by Steve Wonder and sang it to us. We Loved it!<br />

I have been given a blessing in SIX new brothers and sister and a new set of parents! I love them. I have known the Jackson family for many years and have grown to love each one of them. During wedding week we did family pictures with my side and Hugh's side. Lots of laughter trying to get that many people together for a picture. I LOVE our FAMILY!<br />

What a beautiful day it was. I woke up about 7:30 am and my bridesmaids arrived at my house around 10:00 AM. We all got ready together in my house. My good friend Holly was with me all day making sure I was taken care of, she did my make up, got me to where I needed to be and helped with any last minute things that came up. 5 days before my wedding I was in my good friend Steffi's wedding and she gave me this awesome monogram robe that I got to wear! I loved it (I love you Steffi)!<br />

It was such a chill morning and I loved being with my people I love so dearly. I was so excited to see Hugh though! I was ready to get the wedding going so I could go and start my new life as a married woman!</div>

Hugh surprised me with flowers, a very sweet card and he had given me a watch I had been wanting. (the card made me cry.....I was so close to being Mrs. Hugh Jackson!) </div>
<div>
Then there was the first look! I remember standing in the house with my sisters, looking out and seeing Hugh walk to the gazebo and I just stopped and started crying. I was overcome with thankfulness that I was about to see the man I was going to marry on our wedding day! The following are pictures of our first look...</div>

We got married the week of July 4th which was GREAT. We both had time off from work and it made it easy for our families to travel to California for the wedding. It was so fun having all of Hugh's and my family here for the week. Both my sister and brother were able to bring their whole families which meant so much to Hugh and I. (traveling with kids isn't always the most fun! :) We are thankful they were such troopers. The picture above is a get together we had a couple days before the wedding. My sister's didn't get to come to my showers so we had a get together when they got here. It was so fun.<br />
<br />
The fourth of July both of our families got together and had a pool party at my house. My landlord's let us use their back yard and we swam, played basketball and hung out all afternoon and evening. My BF Voda had come in Tuesday, Summer was able to come, my aunt and uncle from Iowa and Hugh's friend from AZ. IT was one bug party. We had a great time and everyone got along so well. This was the first meeting of all the families. We really had a good time and enjoyed one another.<br />
<br />
Thursday was the rehearsal. Leading up to this it was quite stressful. I think by 11:00 AM I had received over 30 phone calls or texts. We had a great time at the rehearsal just being able to celebrate with our friends!<br />

I would love to say how much I loved engagement and planning a wedding but I didn't. It was a hard time. I was never the girl who had her wedding all planned out and knew exactly what she wanted. I simply didn't care about all the details. My sister had just moved to Washington and my mom was half way across the Country so I just had to buckle down and make decisions. One thing I can say about this time is I truly have the best friends. My friend Heidi designed my invitations and programs, Summer helped me coordinate things, Ken and his favorite assistant Lynn (my favorite too) did our pictures, Erika and Mark let us get married in their backyard (in addition to doing our pre-marital AND this includes the long walks Erika would take with me to help me keep things in perspective!) My mom and dad sacrificed to give me the wedding I wanted, my sister in law Becca would call me once a week to make sure I was doing OK and there are SO MANY more people and things that I could name that blest Hugh and I.<br />
<br />
Hugh was working in Malibu at this time, we were serving on high school staff, it was a busy time at work and here I was planning a wedding when all I wanted to do was marry my best friend. I would not trade a thing and our wedding day was great! My favorite part is NOW....life! In fact, I don't even want to talk about engagement anymore.....the best stuff was ahead! The following are some of our favorite engagement photos...<br />

How we got engaged</h3>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: none; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-bottom: 16px; padding-top: 0px;">
The back story: Hugh's birthday is March 11th. About a month before his birthday Hampton approached me and asked what I thought about throwing a surprise birthday party for Hugh. I agreed and thought it would be a great idea. I started inviting his friends and had planned the party for Saturday, March10th. Hugh wanted to celebrate his birthday on the 10th since we had church on Sunday and were taking a class in the evening. We made plans to go to Santa Barbara for the day. I told him we were having his birthday dinner with his siblings Saturday night and had to be back by 7:00 pm. in order to throw him his surprise party.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: none; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-bottom: 16px; padding-top: 0px;">
THE BIG DAY</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: none; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-bottom: 16px; padding-top: 0px;">
The day of the engagement Hugh texted me at 8:30 am and asked if I wanted to go whale watching.( I didn't think it was weird as I knew he was looking for things for us to do. I also see deals all the time for whale watching). When I got to his house he said he found a special in Newport Beach so we would be heading there for the day. On the drive down there he said it's been on his bucket list to rent a boat and he found a special rate so he wanted to stop and see if any boats were available for us to rent. When we got to Newport we picked up Chipotle for lunch then headed to the boat place. He was able to rent us a boat for two hours. Once we got on the water we drove around looking at all the beautiful boats and homes and just talked. About a hour and a half into the boat ride he told me to take some pictures of some sea lions and when I turned back around he was facing me and told me he had to ask me a question. I looked at him and saw him holding the ring. I dropped my head and started crying as I couldn't believe it was happening! He was hugging me and told me I hadn't answered him and I reminded him that he never asked me his question! :) He asked me to be his wife in which I said YES!!!</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: none; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; padding-bottom: 16px; padding-top: 0px;">
It was such a special day for us. After that we ended up hopping on another boat for whale watching and then headed back to my house for his surprise birthday party. When we walked in everyone yelled surprise and I asked Hugh if he knew. He told me yes and when I looked at everyone I realized my friends were there too. Hugh had planned his surprise party knowing it would really be an engagment party. It was a day I will always remember. </div>

After much prodding from some family and friends I am going to attempt blogging once again. For me, it's been a great way to keep everyone updated on life. Oh how life has changed since I last blogged. God has been so kind to me! The name of this blog post is "A New Beginning" because that is where I am right now.<br />
<br />
For years, I wondered and prayed who the Lord would have for me to marry as this has been a desire of mine. The Lord has given me the biggest blessing in Hugh! For the last 8 years Hugh has been one of my closest friends and was like family to me. I never would of thought this is who the Lord would have for me but he had different plans.....I am so glad He did! We started dating September of 2011, were engaged in March of 2012 and married July of 2012.<br />
<br />
Once we got back from our honeymoon we decided that the Lord was directing us to Lynchburg, VA so Hugh could begin law school. Everything came together so perfectly and 10 days later we were moving across Country. SO MANY STORIES to tell regarding the Lord's provision, lessons learned and life in VA. I will get there!<br />
<br />
For now, I will leave with God is so so so SO GOOD! I truly am Happy Hollie and outside of knowing I get to spend eternity in heaven with the Lord I am married to My FAVORITE person ever! I am so thankful for all the trials, tribulations and joys that have come my way which has prepared me and molded me for this time. Stay tuned....<br />

I was able to spend a good amount of time with Kelli and the girls. I really enjoyed it. Ivy is getting so big and I have LOVED snuggling with Lucy. They are so fun and I am thankful to have family so close. I also got to relax, spend time with good friends, work out EVERY DAY, get organized, and clean mi casa. I spent time re-doing my spare room which has been long overdue since it's been empty for over a year. My good friend Jen helped me make pillows for the bed so I've included some pictures of the room. I'm just looking for a bedside table and a couple things for the wall and it will be complete. I'm so thankful that I get to work for a place that gives me two weeks off! What a blessing. Mom, I missed you!<br />

I have been thinking a lot about the things I have to be thankful for. One thing that I have been so thankful to the Lord for is the gift of <span style="color: #cc0000;">JOY</span>. 2010 was a hard year yet the Lord consistently has given me the gift of joy even in sad times. I pray that no matter what happens in my life whether good or sad that I will be able to <span style="color: #351c75;">Rejoice Always, Pray without Ceasing and in EVERYTHING give thanks. </span><span style="color: black;">That's my prayer for all of us as we enter 2011.

I remember getting the phone call that Ivy was coming into the world and I was so excited to meet her. She has quickly become one of my favorite people. I LOVE talking to her and hearing all the new things she is learning. My favortie thing is to hear her talk about God. This picture below was taken the day after Ivy was born. What a memory! :)<br />

I can't believe how fast the time goes by. I am getting so much <span style="color: black;">done. I LOVE house projects and cleaning (although I haven't started the cleaning yet!) Last night was our bible study Christmas dinner. We had such a good time. We went to LA to an Italian restaurant called</span><span style="color: #cc0000;"> Louise's</span>. It was so good. We had exchanged names and did a gift exchange. Laura drew me and I received a sweater, necklace and a wall decal (i will post it later.) I loved everything. It was so fun. We finished dinner around 7:45 and didnt want the night to end so we went to the Grove and walked around. It was another reminder of how blessed I am with the friends the Lord brings into my life. I love these girls and am so thankful for them!Happy Holliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11484363044590660646noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912348261713291193.post-80652100767676808512010-12-20T22:19:00.000-08:002010-12-20T22:21:10.956-08:00<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Today was such a good day spending time with new friends and catching up with old ones. I got to spend the morning with my friend Anna. I went to her house for coffee this morning and it was such a sweet time. We've gotten together a couple of other times and have always been in a hurry to get to work or school but not today. It was nice not being rushed and getting to visit for a few hours.. It's been so fun getting to know her better. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">After that I went to meet up with some old TMC girls. I went and picked up Steffi and we headed to Hollywood to go eat lunch at <span style="color: #cc0000;"><strong>TART. </strong></span><span style="color: black;">We met up with the Sander girls and it was fun hearing about their lives and how their last semesters have been in graduate school. This restaurant is cute and quaint and a definite recommendation for those in the LA area. It has the best outdoor seating for the summer and NON-RAINY days. </span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

We also went out to lunch at her favorite restaurant </span><span style="color: #cc0000;">PANDA </span><span style="color: black;">EXPRESS. :) Love that girl.After all of out adventures I took her home where I got to love on Lucy. She is such a snuggler. I love it.</span><br />

Last night I put on my sweats and headed to Lynn's. We had such a nice relaxing night with the boys. We put them to bed at 7:30 and sat on the couch with our tea and cozies and just talked. I <span style="color: #741b47;">LOVED it!</span><span style="color: black;"> I left so encouraged and it was so good to be with such a treasured friend talking about all the Lord is doing in our lives. </span><span style="color: #134f5c;">LOVE YOU LYNN! </span><span style="color: black;">I hope I didn't contaminate your household. </span><br />

Today I woke up and my cold moved to my chest. NICE. My head cold is now a blown out cold. It has turned into such a GREAT day though. I spent a good portion of the morning with the Lord. I'm studying the attributes of God which has been so good for me. I've noticed that the days that are hard for me and the days when I am not in the Word like I should be. You think I would learn a thing or two by that! I also have gotten some much needed crafting done today. What a <span style="color: #45818e;">SWEET DAY</span> of rest. <br />

Saturday mornings are my favorite time of the week. I love sleeping in (who says 7 AM isn't sleeping in!?!) and the Saturday morning lounge. NOT today! I was at my friend Erica's yesterday and we decided to get up early and hike Towsley Canyon. We were both needing a <strong>WORK OUT</strong> and we got one. I will be feeling it tommorow. It's a 6 mile hike up a mountain and back down. It was so beautiful! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMDx_aSloA8-Z6JQmnfXMyo6fAlGZ_sVZvRZ_Y-mmhxoO03PFtMqEzJZKY96Zk3xDsCcSq5gWpg1XpO7S0-0v-iKLrvZ0ufsJzFbb1FukWw9ZMXEJe_IBxsYAZzU1HAnlpJxMN8LuBK-s/s1600/hike.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="305" ox="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhMDx_aSloA8-Z6JQmnfXMyo6fAlGZ_sVZvRZ_Y-mmhxoO03PFtMqEzJZKY96Zk3xDsCcSq5gWpg1XpO7S0-0v-iKLrvZ0ufsJzFbb1FukWw9ZMXEJe_IBxsYAZzU1HAnlpJxMN8LuBK-s/s320/hike.jpg" width="320" /></a><br />

I got a Saturday afternoon nap! LOVE IT. The night ended with my dear friend Heidi. We went to <strong><span style="color: #cc0000;">WOKANO</span></strong> for dinner. It's this new restaurant in our mall. It is so yummy. Afterwards we went back to her house and went to the hot tub to soothe my sore muscles from my morning hike. It was hilarious....as we got to the community pool it started to pour. I went and got two umbrellas and we left our clothes by the front door, covered our head with the umbrellas and headed to the hot tub. It stopped raining shortly after so we didnt have to hold the umbrella the whole time. It was such a great night with a great friend.<br />

I have a lot of things that I could blog about but haven't made the time. There have been many things that I've been challenged with over the last year and God has been <strong><span style="color: red;">SO KIND</span></strong> to me. Even in the last week, I have been <span style="color: purple;"><strong>Overwhelmed </strong></span><span style="color: black;">by the way the Lord cares for me, provides for me and directs my life. I have been reminded that trials are GOOD for they develop me and make me turn to Christ. My friend said it best: Trials produce hope in me that doesn't disappoint (Romans 5). I am so thankful that I have hope. There are so many that don't know the hope of Jesus Christ. What a </span><span style="color: lime;"><strong>BLESSING</strong>! </span>God calls me to look beyond my temporary circumstance and live in a continual state of thanks. As I experience trials, I need to remember that I have an eternal perspective and my hope is to enjoy an eternity with the Lord. <span style="color: #351c75;"><strong>I AM READY LORD</strong>!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><strong>Psalm 100:5 "For the LORD is good;</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><strong></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><strong>his steadfast love endures forever,</strong></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><strong>and his faithfulness to all generations."</strong></span><br />
<br />
Since it's been a few months I want to list a few things that I am thankful for.<br />
<br />
1. <strong>Adoption of Lucy</strong>. She is so precious. She has a smile that can light up your day, a strong personality letting you know what she wants and she is the best snuggler. I love her.<br />

2. <strong>Church. </strong>I love my church. John has been BRINGING IT lately. (not that he doesn't always) Maybe the Lord is just working on me and that's why I've been feeling like EVERY message is for me! He's been going over 1 Corinthians Sunday night in church and he did a small series on 1 Corinthians 13 which impacted me greatly! <strong><span style="color: #cc0000;"> </span></strong>I've also been enjoying singing with the worship Team Sunday mornings and working in the Visitor Center.Oh, and my Pastor Tom is going through a solid series in Revelation.<br />
<br />
3. <strong>The Master's College: </strong>What a blessing my job is. I'm so thankful that I enjoy going to work and that I get to work with some of my closest friends. This is my Family. I also have the most kind, humble, gracious, and hard working boss! <br />

It has been such a HUGE blessing! I LOVE these girls. I didn't know two of them that well when we first started the study but I can say that they are a few of my closest friends now. We meet once a week to talk about the Lord and encourage one another.

I do NOT love trials. Who does? Yet, in the midst of them I cling to the Lord and am reminded of all of His promises to me. I am also reminded of how prideful and sinful I can be too! EWWW!!! Is it hard? HECK YES. But if I can perseve and keep my focus on the giver of all things and remember that God does as HE pleases and that which pleases Him is always for His glory and my good then I am trusting God. <span style="color: #38761d;">"Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in Your sight, O Lord, my strength and my Reedemer."

They point you to the truths found in scripture and encourage you with the promises of God. I have a couple of these women in my life. What a blessing they are. They keep me in check and consistently point me to the Lord and show me my sin. This is a </span><span style="color: #351c75;"><strong>HUGE GIFT from GOD. </strong></span><br />

I have so many people that I consider family but I am talking about my birth family. What a gift to know that everyone in my immediate family is going to heaven. I adore my neices and nephews, appreciate my brothers and sisters and am thankful for the Rents. I wish there were more occasions when we were ALL together but blessed assurance we will all be together one day!</span><br />

I went from Chicago straight to San Diego and I love both cities. The weather in Chicago was great and there is beauty all around in San Diego. I was just reading Psalm 92 tonight and the verses reminded me to give thanks to the Lord for the beauty of His creation and his steadfast, unchanging, merciful love for me. As beautiful as I think this view is in front of me right now, I know nothing will compare to the beauty I will face when standing before the throne of God in heaven. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
