~~~~~San Antonio~~~~~~

Hi Everyone,
WE had so much fun last weekend! We decided to drive up to San Antonio on Saturday and spend the day so we didn't have to spend the money on a hotel room. We sure did have alot of fun! First we went to the San Antonio LDS Temple, and we went to the distribution center. We got a lot of videos and Mike got some new scriptures I had got him some previously but the pages weren't cut all the way. We also each got a hymn book to match our scriptures so I really liked that! We also got the study manuals for the scriptures to help us understand them better. Then we went to the Riverwalk, it was really fun! We ate at The Saltgrass Steakhouse, it was so delicious! We had steak, potatoes, bread, salad, and these really yummy they call em Rattlers' they are shrimp with jalapeno on the outside then stuffed with cream cheese, and breading! So delicious! If you ever go to one it is sure a treat! Then we went on the riverwalk, then that nite we went over to Bass Pro Shop so Mike could look around! Then we went to The Palladium Theatre, went and saw Inception at the IMAX theatre. I was really loud and big, and i just think i like the little old theatre better. But we sure did have fun spending some quality time together! Here are some pictures of our Adventures.

Love,
Mike and Amy Holt

9th Year Anniversary!!!

Hi Everyone,
Well this past Saturday was our 9th year Anniversary. We had a great day, Mike thought he was going to take me to this really nice salon (AVEDA SALON). This is how it went, Mike: Your going to be so happy today, Amy: Oh really well I can help you if you tell me where we are going, Mike: You just wait and see. So he starts down this road and I'm like hmmm I know where he is taking me, we were heading to this salon where i had been before to get a free sample. I said if you are taking me to that AVEDA SALON I'm not getting out of this truck because I'm not going to let you spend your money like that. So i finally talked him into taking me to the mall, and he bought me some new clothes, and took me to Macy's i got my makeup done, Then we went to the TEXAS STATE AQUARIUM. We had so much fun seeing all the animals. Then we left there and I was going to go get a pedicure but they were to busy so i told him that is OK i can do it next week. So then we went to this Restaurant called "THE REPUBLIC OF TEXAS" on the 20th floor of the Omni Hotel in Downtown Corpus Christi, Texas. OH MY GOSH this food was so good!!! WE had a wedge salad, yummy bread with roasted garlic, i had a new york strip, he had a fillet Mignon, and a baked potato, then for dessert we had this chocolate layered ganosh with raspberry, fresh whip cream, a piece of brittle, and we also had creme brulee, with fresh fruit shortbread cookies, whip cream..... hm mm it was so DELISH!!!! This was one of the best anniversaries i think we have had in a long time!!! Thank you so much baby you made my DAY, YEAR, AND I COULD GO ON ON ON ON AND ON.... I love you MICHAEL HOLT~~~

My New Calling!

Hi Everyone,
Sorry I haven't been blogging for awhile. Here is what we have been up to, Mike is trying to find a job still. He works turnarounds at the Refinery but it is only temporary. Amy is just staying home and enjoying getting things done around here and I have went back to church and im really enjoying all our friends at church. I just got called to serve as the Relief Society Counselor, Visiting Teacher Cordinator, and I also do the programs for Sunday's and I decorate the bulletin board for Relief Society every month. It has a pocket for a recipe, the visiting teacher message, and the announcements. Also some of the hats have the Birthday's for this month. I also am decorating the bulletin board for our little branch and helping the primary do their's. After they saw mine Sister Harrison who is the Primary President asked me if I would help her do her's so that is what im working on. I hope everyone is doing well. Mike has been going fishing alot he really enjoys going fishing, this saturday he is taking the Scouts on a fishing trip so he is really looking forward to that!

My great deal!

Hi Everyone,
Ok I have to tell you about my special deal that i got. I have been following Freebies2deals.com and Melea really inspires me to save money! She is awesome she tells everyone about the good deals you can find! So this is what i bought with all my coupons! Ok so I bought all this for 4.60, yes you are not blind! Ok first I will tell you what coupons I had. Buy a Meaty bone and get free biscuits, 1.00 off Pup-eroni sticks, 1.00 off Tiny T-Bonz, 2 coupons 2.00 off Milk Bone Chewy Treats, 2.00 off Clean & Clear product, 1.00 off Jumbone. The biscuits had a coupon on them for free canine carry outs. Then I had a coupon for a 10.00 Gift Card with new prescription, so after i used my gift card it only cost me 4.60. Then I went to Home Depot and we are trying to get our house ready to put it on the market to sell. So I always go look at their mistinted paint to see what they have and they had a gallon of Exterior Tan for only 5.00, I was so excited! Because we are painting the outside 4x4 posts tan and then we are going to build railing to go around our patio. I was so happy! I'm looking very forward to trying to use as many coupons this year as I can! Thanks for reading!

Christmas 2009

Hi Everyone,
This year we had a very nice Christmas, we were able to stay home this Holiday Season it was very nice to be able to spend the Holidays at home. Amy cooked a big Thanksgiving Feast and we invited the LDS Missionaries over for Dinner. We were very thankful for everything that we have been blessed with in 2009. Christmas we spent at home with Mike's mom and then on Christmas night we left to go to Utah to spend the Holiday's and New Year's with Amy's family. It was a long drive but we made it there in just about 26 hours. Heck we are truck drivers we should be able to drive that in a breeze! But it is a little different driving in a little truck than a big truck! We sure did have a lot of fun though, Mike and I loved spending time with our nieces and nephew. We drove up to Cedar City one day so we could see the snow and let Daisy go play in the snow, there wasn't too much snow but a little bit! It was sure fun she loved it! For New Year's we went down to Las Vegas and went and saw Gary Allan at the House of Blues in the Mandalay Bay.
It was pretty fun there was a lot of people there! We left the concert right at when he did the encore so we weren't stuck in the traffic all night.We got back to my Mom's about 04:30 dark in the morning, but it was worth it we were pretty tired though. We stayed at Amy's Mom's for 9 days it was a lot of fun. We were able to help her out so we were thankful for that, we put her Christmas away for her cause she has to haul it out to the garage which is a lot of work. She was sick for Christmas so we were glad we were there to help her. We sure did enjoy our visit though! Here are some pictures of our visit! Hope everyone enjoys the pictures!
