Aren't these two girls some of the prettiest girls you have ever seen?? They are my cousins Kristen (the one on the left) and Holly (the one on the right).
Some of you may remember me mentioning the other day that I was going to my cousins wedding. Well, it was for my cousin Kristen. And as beautiful of a day it was for her, it was also a sad one. You see, back on August 13th, 2005, we all lost my cousin Holly in a tragic jet skiing accident.
But no matter how much heartache and despair Holly's death has brought my Aunt, Uncle and cousins (they also have a brother Matt) they are the strongest and most positive people I have ever met. They not only have faith in their Lord, but also in one another.
Not only was Holly an inspiration to all during her time here on earth. But she continues to bring us all such joy, inspiration and faith in God. She was not only passionate about her faith while she was here with us but passionate about life as well. She was an excellent student, she played volleyball and was an avid dancer....it was her passion!!
As well as it was Kristen's passion...so a few years ago as Kristen was in college and trying to figure out what direction she wanted to take with her career. She turned to her biggest inspiration....Holly. And that was when she decidd to open up her dance studio, Heavenly Rhythm, in honor of her sister and best friend Holly Reeb.
HR=Holly Reeb
HR=Heavenly Rhythm
So just remember even when we may be in our darkest hour and we may question why God may do the things he does...it is thru him, our faith and our greastest inspirations that we find hope!!
