To Landon from Holly: Remember That Time...

So, I was looking through my pictures, wondering if I should put some of them on Facebook and trying to organize them, and I noticed all of these great pictures that I had forgotten.  Here's a small trip down memory lane.

 When we went to the Vineyard with Darek and made out in the truck while we waited for him?

When we tried to stuff ourselves in the desk?

When we went on that super fun trip and spent all day together in that dumb truck but still had a great time?

When we went to the BYU vs. Boise State game and you were a sass and wouldn't touch me on purpose but we still had a great time?

When you put me to bed in the princess bed?

When we went to the Cheesecake Factory for the first of many times?

When we went here and I told you I loved you?

 When I made this nice diagram for you to show you that I do more for you? 

When we went to the Cheesecake Factory (again) and we took this picture and then you took a bite out of the cookie and I was ticked?

When you buried me in this pile of leaves?

When we went on this super awesome road trip to Denver and talked the whole time and had so much fun and arrived at four in the morning?

When we made friends with this llama and talked about getting married?  To each other, not the llama.

When we sat on top of the train car and learned how fun sparkling apple cider can be?

When we/mostly you ate free chicken sandwiches?

When you did this...

And so I did this?

When we got ENGAGED?

When I kissed your cheek with lipstick on so if left a kiss mark?

When you took a ton of pictures of my beautiful ring?

When we wore our snuggies together?

When you got this gem?

When you shot this elk while in your churchies and a leather jacket while looking super hot?

When I asked if you would get this nice puppy for me?  I still want it, by the way.

When we made friends with these sheep?

Thanks for all the great memories, Landon!  I'm looking forward to many more.  

Love you,

Holly

Reality #7

One weekend Landon came home for the weekend.  Notice how all of our stories occur only on the weekends?  That's because that's the only time we ever get to spend together.  Lame.  For quite a while, Landon had been wanting to play in the cotton seed at the dairy.  We actually had time on this particular Friday night, so at around 10:30 we drove out to the dairy.

When we arrived, Landon said we needed to be careful because he didn't want anyone to get the wrong idea. So we had to sneak around.  We climbed up to the top of the cotton and got situated with our blanket.  All of a sudden, some dumb guy showed up with the loader.  Landon assured me the guy wasn't going to come to the cotton because they only feed that to the cows in the morning.  But then we could see the lights coming towards us, and I almost peed my pants.  And then the guy came in to get a load, and we could feel the hill shaking.  It was so scary!  I was just imagining a big chunk being taken out, us falling down, the cotton covering us, and me suffocating with cotton in my throat.  It was so bad!!!  But it was really fun, too.  That dumb guy came and got like EIGHT loads.  And every time I almost hyperventilated.  But Landon was so calm and patient; I knew I was going to be okay, for the most part.

Landon said the guy was probably just going to make a batch and he'd probably be there only about another 20 minutes.  Approximately 2 hours later, we thought he was finally leaving.  In the meantime, Landon and I chatted and had a wonderful time.  When the guy finally left, Landon went ahead of me to make sure he was really gone.  When he thought it was clear, he signaled towards me to go.  As I was going across, that dumb guy came back, and I had to hurry and hide.  I was SO afraid that he was going to shine his light on me, and I was going to be completely alone just standing there super awkwardly.  Then he left and I was able to find Landon.  And then the guy came back again!!! So we had to climb up in some other junk that was like dark brown sand.  And it gone in our shoes and everywhere and made a mess.  We finally made it back to the car, about 3 hours later than we were originally planning.  What a crazy adventure!

On Saturday, Derek took us flying and later we went and swam in the hot springs.  Here are some pictures.

Reality #6 - Holly's Perspective

One weekend, Landon was going to Lava Hot Springs to stay at his Uncle Brent's cabin (not to be confused with Uncle Tom's cabin).  Landon really wanted me to go, but Makenzie was coming home for the weekend, and I already had plans with her and my mom.  But I really wanted to go too, so I figured out a way to go.  But I kept it a surprise from Landon :).

On Thursday I decided I would be able to go, so I called Derek to figure everything out with him and told him to not tell Landon.  On Thursday and Friday, I kept having to tell Landon that I wasn't going to be able to go, and it was really, really hard because I wanted to tell him so bad.  On Thursday Landon got a new phone and he said he wanted to come home to get it, but it was mostly just to see me.  But I had to tell him no because I was already planning on going.  He sounded so sad when I told him that Derek could just bring it and it would be a waste of time and gas.  But I really didn't want to ruin the surprise.

I left Friday after work and Landon and Darek left Rexburg around the same time.  I met Brent and Derek and everyone else a little outside of Lava and followed them to the cabin.  Because they had stopped in Pocatello to get something to eat, Landon and Darek were already there.  We had to unload the snowmobiles at the bottom of the hill.  As everyone else was doing that, I was parking my car because Baby couldn't make it up the hill.  Then Landon came down on one of the snowmobiles and said hi to Whitney and then noticed me and my car.  I gave him a hug, and it was so nice.  He said he felt really bad for thinking that I didn't love him enough.  I proved him wrong.

Then we went up to the cabin and unloaded all of our stuff and hung out for a little bit.  We were going to go swimming that night, but it was too late, so we decided to go snowmobiling instead.  It was so fun!  The weather was pretty warm, so it rained almost the whole time.  When we got back (at like 12:30), Darek made us really good pancakes, and then we played Schum, which Landon and I dominated at.  By this time, it was really late but we decided to watch a movie anyways.  But we both fell asleep almost right away.

The next morning, I woke up pretty early and I couldn't fall back asleep so I went and jumped on Landon to wake him up.  We chatted and had a bed party and talked about lots of fun things.  Then we went into town to get breakfast, and it was waaaay good.
