Enchanted To Meet You.

Well, It has been a crazy few months I must say. I have been working my butt off and sleeping my days away it seems like. But it has been an okay few months since the season has changed and it has turned into Fall and Winter. I started working at the hospital just PRN but I have learned so much from being in the ER, it actually changed me in a way you would say. I have been wanting to be a nurse since I was five, but recently I changed that dream and have decided to go into something a little more "me" which would  be Sonography (hopefully). I just think it would be such a thrill to get to tell parents what they are having and seeing their reaction, it would be perfect for me. I am still continuing to work at the nursing home to so I have been a busy body these past few months, but I love it even though it gets stressful at times.

Our family actually had a tragic event happen to us last month, even though it feels like yesterday. I lost my uncle to a heart attack and was completely unexpected. It has been a rough few months on everyone and hasn't been the same for a while, especially on Thanks Giving and Christmas, but our family is stronger than ever, but we always have been anyways, Which is why I love my family so much.

Speaking of Christmas, it was a really good one. Me and David had our first Christmas together and it was amazing and super busy. I worked all weekend but we made time for all the places we needed to be. I got to spend my first Christmas with David's family to and I loved it, it was amazing and he has an amazing family I must say, I am very lucky to be surrounded by such great people in my life. It went by so fast though I feel like I blinked and it was over...

I also have a new addiction called Pintrest and I am in love with it! I just can't help my self. Another thing I am addicted to is the book, "The Help" it is amazing and everyone should read it because it is so great.

God Gave Me You

I always seem to neglect my blog and then when I remember to get on here I always get distracted (which happens easily to me). But alot has been going on here lately that I have to catch up on.

I recently just recovered from getting my tonsils taken out and let me tell you that was one of the worst surgerys I have ever experienced, I never want anything done to my throat again. But it gave me a good three weeks off from work which was nice and spoiled me, to bad money doesn't grow on trees. Before my surgery I went to florida with my dad, mom, and sister and it was so much fun, nothing is better than the beach I must say.

Also I have to say I have the most amazing boy in my life, named David Goldsmith. I literally don't know what I would be doing without him in my life right now. He has taught me so much about myself and is my best friend. I also started back at ECTC again which I must say isn't exciting at all, but all my classes are online so I get to spend alot more time with family when I am not working.

Some pictures to catch you up:

My New Begining.

So as you can tell I have redone my whole blog, but I didn't delete any of my old posts because they are the reason I started this in the first place. I made this to complain about my long distance relationship with my Marine. But we ended up having to part ways and go on to do bigger and better things with our lives. So this is my fresh start to my life.

I have had alot happen to me in the past couple of months that I didn't expect to happen for a while. I ended up getting a job as a CNA, which let me tell you is very back breaking and dirty, but I love helping people and its just one step closer to my dream of being a Nurse. I also started dating and found myself a very sweet guy from Green County, which I didn't plan on happening for a while but I guess you can't plan out everything in life it just happens when your not paying attention or least expect it too.

My last semester ended really good and now I'm thinking about going to Campbellsville for school but I haven't actually made a decision yet ( I procrastinate sometimes). But my summer break has been amazing. I've been with family alot and I love them most of all. But I just wanted to catch up on all that has happened since I went to California and came back.

Here's some pictures of whats been going on in my life:

California Baby.

Well I went to California to see Dylan...and I have to say it was the most amazing trip I've been on. It was like a vacation in heaven. We really needed to see each other and spend time together. It seems like the distance gets harder and harder everyday, but I wouldn't give it up for the world. It truely was beautiful there though.

But I know all this distance will be worth it in the end, when we can be back together everyday and be back to normal. But him coming to North Carolina to be stationed makes me feel alot better because he will only be 10 hours away from me!

But here are some pictures :)

Oh How I've Missed Your Face.

Skype Date :D



I Wish I Had You Here With Me.

Well I have had a great couple of weeks. You would be suprised how much can happen, from being told one thing you don't like to being told something you LOVE. I AM GOING TO CALIFORNIA (in 20 days) TO SEE DYLAN. He bought my plane ticket for me for valentines day so we can see each other.

But on top of that, he told me not to long ago that he didn't know where he would be stationed, and then he said there was a big chance for it the be in Japan. Which I would and would not like because he would be so far away from me, but he wouldn't be deployed so that would have been a plus. But he called yesterday and told me that he was going to be stationed in Cherrypoint, North Carolina!!! Which is only eleven hours from me which is amazing for me, I could drive there.

Also his dad had mailed him his laptop and Dylan got it yesterday and told me he had a suprise for me and it turns out he had signed up for Skype so we got to have our first Skype date last night and got to see each others face, it almost felt like I was there. I sometimes get overwhelmed with how far away he actually is from me. But at least he is not one of the many men who are overseas right now and in danger, and I can go to sleep at night knowing he is safe.

Hello World, How You Been.

I have been meaning to start this blog a couple months ago but as you know everyone gets busy. But I'm Sierra Laughren Holt and i made this page for my boyfried Dylan Barnes who is in the Marines. I guess I kinda made it to whine and complain, but thats ok. Dylan has been in the Marines for six months now, he left for bootcamp on August 15th 2010. That was a terrible day for me and his family, but also for him. I never knew what it was like to have such a distance between someone ever in my life besides death. And honestly it almost felt like he was never coming back home. But the letters I got in the mail made it easier and gave me a reason to smile every other day. I was the girl who stalked the mail man and the mail box.

Than he graduated from bootcamp on the 12th of November and that was an awesome experience for everyone. And a very emotional one at that. Seeing him after three months was the best feeling in the world, and that was a very proud moment for me because I knew how hard he had worked to get to graduate that day. He also got to be home an extra two weeks which spoiled me a little because I got used to him being around me all the time.

But than he left for North Carolina agian and got to call home about once a week, which was great to me and worth that week in between calls, and I made sure my phone was near me at ALL times of the day and night. And now he is in 29 Palms in California, and there are alot of miles in between us, but we still manage to hold it all together and we take it all day by day.

Over all I think that the distance between us has helped our relationship alot because it has made us appreciate each other more than we ever have and to be thankful for what we get. I know that we have a long time ahead of us till his four years is up and I worry about when he gets deployed...alot. But we have god on our sides and I have faith in him.
