Home Of The Lindholm's: All About the Lindholms

Hello!!! I'm not going to lie, I am so excited for my first blog! I want to start off by giving some background history of me and my family. :) My husband (Cameron) and I got married May 4th, 2013 and had our first baby girl (Olivia) on July 24th of this year. We met in our church and fell in love instantly. He is my other half, and I am his. Cameron is very down to earth, relaxed, and goes with the flow. I am very upbeat, emotional, and can go from 0-60 in about a second. When I first saw him I just remembered thinking, "Dang he is cute... I gotta get his number!" (I was on the prowl if you couldn't tell haha). We went on our first date a few days later and the rest is history! Our little girl was like the missing puzzle piece in our lives and I am SO grateful we have her! My life is finally complete and I wouldn't change it for the world!

Now I know this seems all "fairytale" and "perfect", but it is far from it. Let's start off with: this year has been the hardest year of my life. From loosing my job, to having pregnancy issues, to the dreaded heat (cuz let's face it, the heat makes EVERYTHING worse), there have been a dozen times where I'd tell my husband (in mascara-running-tears, I might mention) "I GIVE UP!" or "I CAN'T DO THIS!" or (my favorite), "THIS IS NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR!"... because you know, we sign up for our lives and it always ends up exactly like we thought it would (sarcasm noted). Yes, this year has truly been hard and I am SO happy it's almost over. But the one thing I did learn from this hellish year is to turn to Christ in ALL things, and to just smile. When I force myself to say a prayer and just smile, it seems like I am able to address the situation a lot better. Not only that, but I am able to see the good in the bad! (and being able to do that 24/7 is a true gift that I don't yet have). This year has taught me so much about myself and it has blessed me with our daughter, and for those two things, all the bad seems to melt away. I have also realized that our lives aren't laid out perfectly and that change does happen! But we are here to be able to adapt, learn, and grow. I'm thankful for my family and for my Savior. I'm also grateful I am able to ramble on about it on the internet, because that's always fun too :) so sit back and enjoy as I share all about the Lindholms :) xoxo!

Here are some pictures because let's face it, my family is pretty darn cute ;)
