switch-a-roo

Well... now that I am a "mrs." I've decided to make my blog into our blog.
I think it's pretty cute.
So... hollysparks.blogspot.com will no longer be very active... (which will seem the same because let's be honest... it hasn't been very active for a few months...)
so... head on over to
themateers.blogspot.com

LUCKY.  I know.  I got "themateers".  ha ha

handcart

Aaron asked what a handcart looked like... so I showed him this picture:

Then he looked at me and said, "how am i supposed to pull that and kiss you at the same time?"
He's a funny, funny man.

Orange peel.

Don't worry kids, I'm ready for marriage!!!

Skypey Schmypey

Pros:

1)  I do get to see my honey.
2)  I do get to hear my honey.
3)  It is free :)

4)  Skype is SO CLEAR visually.  (see picture above).
5)  Skype is so clear audibly. (about half of the conversation is... "Can you hear me?" "Aaron, can you hear me?")
6)  Skype can be used anywhere!  No internet needed!

Cons:
Numbers 4-6 actually aren't pros...


Oh wait, did I mix that up?

We can do this for 3 1/2 weeks right?... right?

LB

Lar-Bear.  All business.

so manly.

That's my man, right there.
You know it's love when all you have to say is ... "my back hurts" and the result is this.
I love my Aaron.

hello

Wales was nice.

Holly: "You know, absence makes the heart grow fonder..."
Aaron: "Absence makes your life suck."

You know you're disgusting when you and your honey have the same profile picture.

it just got better...

yeah, i'm never deleting him as a friend...

gag

This couple turns up on my FB wall every now and then... every time I wonder why I haven't deleted him yet... then, I realize.
They are so gaggy that it is too funny to not have them around FB anymore...

true story.

April 19th.

We knew we wanted to marry each other.  Our families knew.  Heck, even a few friends knew.
It was a thursday.  We had decided to go on a walk days earlier because we knew that on that thursday he would be done with finals and I would not have to worry about my schoolwork for a few days.  Finally, a break.  So we did.  We walked to the spot where we first told each other we loved each other.  I asked him if he wanted to sit down, he put his little finger up, gave me a cute little smile and got down on one knee.  I was shocked.  We were just going on a walk.  He was leaving the next day.  We were just talking about rings.  He said some very sweet things and asked me to marry him.  I forgot to say yes at first, but eventually got around to it.  So to sum up, we're getting married!!!  And couldn't be happier.

Here she is:

And here we are:

I think we're pretty cute.

September 6th!  (currently...  :))

laughing makes the heart grow fonder.

Back in August I met a boy.  His name is Aaron Mateer.  Aaron Anthony Mateer to be specific.
He was always very pleasant and kept me laughing.
Then one night, I was making rice krispie treats.  (of course our love story has to do with rice krispie treats...I mean come on, it's me.) I was wearing my green thermal christmas jammies.  And had just taken a shower.  Needless to say I was looking pretty fine.  I guess he likes rice krispie treats too because he joined us (my previous significant other, Alyssa Bailey).  We talked, and laughed and he was on his way.  I haven't decided if it was the thermals or the rice krispies that made him decide to call me the next day.  He asked me on a date to comedy sports.  After getting off of the phone with him, I called up the SO (Alyssa) and told her the good news.  I got home and she said "I didn't think of it before, but what if you got married to Aaron and had cute little Scottish children".  We laughed because that was a crazy idea.  We went on our first date.  Laughed. Then another one.  Then another one.  Then another one.... in fact, I don't think I'll ever stop going on dates with this boy.

On April 19th he asked me to marry him.  I said "yes".  I think it's the best decision I will ever make.

He makes me very happy, and as you may have noticed, we do a lot of laughing.

I love you Aaron Mateer!  So much, I think I'll marry you.  deal?

I've been feelin' a little European lately.

DGM 1120

I just think this is funny.

thanks teacher for making my test today amusing...

oh, parents.

I think it's cute when my mom says, "can you make this on graphic design?"

08:00

literally woke up and was out the door in 5 minutes today.
yeah, it's going to be one of those days.

I'm not. I'm not a robot.

I always feel really disappointed in myself when I cannot get these things on the first try.

Sister Floaty-head

Meet Sister Floaty-head.
Yep.  You see her.

Word of advice: Don't look at multiple pictures of her while in the library.  You might just almost pee your pants.

p.s. Happy 300th post.  craaaazzzzzzzzzzyyyyy.

Lady Lady

Well.  I'm smitten.

Meet Mr. Charles Kelley: 

Yeah, he's a babe.

Lady Antebellum was wonderful!  Pretty much we are best friends now, me and Charles and that other one and that other one.  

blah.

Sometimes your stomach hurts.
Today is one of those sometimes.

Pencils are better than elastic anyway.

Hair pulled up using pencils.

Stain on my jeans

Zit on my face.

Pretty much no make-up

Stuffy nose.

Heavy backpack.

UVU decided to grace me with the presence of everybody I know today.

Yeah, it's one of those days.

Lady

Guess where I'm going on Valentines Day.....
Nope.  Not on a romantic date.  Even better.

yep!
pretty much SO EXCITED.  Best Christmas present ever.
Thanks parents :)

I feel free!

For the first time since September of 2008 I, Holly Sparks, do not have a job.

Yes, I finally quit that place called Ancestry.com . . . and it feels so good!

So now, the job hunt begins . . .
