December 1st2019

Almost done with 2019 and on to 2020

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving!!

Just a few things to cover here:

Amber is doing much better and the switch of the meds helped out a great deal. She is a lot happier these days.

Bret is really going all out on ROTC and is loving it. He has tested two times to get promoted and while he didn’t pass, he jumped over 20 point from the first test to the second tests only missing it by one question for the promotion. He got down on himself but Matt reminded him of how far he has come from the first day he started.

Jamie is still working at the library and Blistex so this keeps her busy. She works on projects when she can but she gets tired pretty fast these days.

Matt went to the doctor for a follow up on his diabetes and he dropped his A1C from 7.8 to 5.5 and now is I normal range. Doctor said he could cut back on the meds but Matt decided not to do it at this time and will follow up in 6 months.

NOVEMBER 1st 2019

Amber is now back in school full time and is adjusting back best she can. We continue to give her as much support as she needs. The school is also helping with her needs.

Matt has been busy with work mostly and it’s wearing him out so he has not done much caching. He continues to work on his heath the best he can. He will be looking in to joining a gym for the winter so he can keep up with exercise.

Jamie has been busy with work and has not had much free time. She has worked on the blanket she is crocheting. She is almost done with it!!

OCTOBER 1st 2019

Our bad luck has gone down but we are still dealing with some.

Amber was back in the hospital again but they have now changed her meds and that seems to be helping.

This is a long road and we intend to give her all the support she needs to get through this.

This has not been easy on any of us but we will pull through together.

 

SEPTEMBER 4th 2019

#JUSTICEFORAMBER

From Facebook post on January 17th 2018

It’s been a long time coming but today Amber got her justice. My dad pleaded guilty to 1 class X and 1 class 1 felony of sexual abuse to a child under 13 years of age. Sentencing will be April 17th and this is a blind plea and the judge will decide his fate. Amber, Jamie and I will be able to give victim impact statements at that hearing. He will have to serve these consecutively and will be between 6 and 60 years.

We want to thank everyone who helped us over the last 2 plus years with love and support. This has been one of the hardest things to deal with. This is a big weight lifted off of us but there is still one more hurdle to get through. Thank you again for all your support!!

January 1st 2018

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE HOLLEY FAMILY!!

We hope to have a great 2018 and get a few things checked off our list.

Be moving to another department with a new position.

More details to come once a few things are finalized.

We had a pretty good thanksgiving here but still not the same as it was in years past. We still struggle and it doesn’t seem to end.

Court is next month and they set a hearing for this one so now we will be waiting to see who has to testify.

With Christmas coming up we don’t have any real expectations except that we will be together.

Bret has been playing his video games a lot and he is happy doing that.

Matt was elected Vice President of CPAAR and is enjoying his new roll. He continues to geocache and is planning a couple trips over the next 3 months

Hello there everyone!!

Summer is just flying by way to fast.

What’s new with the Holley’s well school is starting soon but Bret and Amber are not looking forward to it at all.

Matt is doing some geocaching and kayak trips.

Jamie is staying busy with the dogs and doing other projects as well.

Speaking of the dogs yes, I know we have not made a new page yet for them. Sorry!!

In the calendar I will schedule some time to get some pages updated and new ones created this month.

July 1st 2017

Wow July already!! How the summer is flying by way to fast.

Bret and Amber are enjoying being home and out of school still but that will end next month as they get ready for 8th and 6th grade.

Jamie has been enjoying her new puppies and so have Bret and Amber.

Matt is still geocache caching, hosting lots of events and attending events too. He has gone out a little bit here and there too.

Holleynet didn’t get updated as we would have hoped so we will be working on that this month and it will be in the calendar so we get this done.

JUNE 1st 2017

Hello once again from the Holley house!!

It was a very exciting May for us as Bret and Amber both go to a new grade. Bret is now in 8th and Amber graduated to 6th.

We got to attend Amber’s Clap Out graduation at IHK and it was a fun time but she is also happy to be out of that school and looking forward to new beginning.

Matt has not been Geocaching at all the whole month of May but has huge plans for June including a trip to Nebraska and Wisconsin for the WNBR 2017.

Jamie is happy she got a few things off her list like a new T-Shirt press and 2 new Huskies she has always wanted. More to come on that a little later in the month as they are still getting settled in to the new environment. Look for new pages on Holleynet coming soon.

We hope that you all have a great June and we look forward to you coming back to see our new additions later in the month. Look for a post on the main page of Holleynet.

MAY 1ST 2017

Hi everyone!! May is upon us and we have had a so-so April.

We have been waiting for answers as to when court will happen or when we will be meeting again with the SA. We have had a few canceled meetings and setbacks.

We are hoping that on May 11th we find out when the new trial date will be but trying not to get our hopes up since this has taken longer than expected.

Amber is not doing very good now since she is being bullied in school. Jamie and I have already talked to the school and we will be discussing this with the bully’s parents soon. Amber has said she wanted to kill herself and described it in detail how she would do it to the school counselor. This has put us on edge and we have been watching Amber pretty close for the last 5 days now.

We still try and do normal family things when we can and feel up to it and hopefully Amber’s B-Day will be great since she will be 11.

Bret has been in a mood as well and we are trying to make sure he is doing ok too. This is a huge process because he doesn’t want to talk to us about anything. We will keep working with him the best we can.

School is out at the end of the month and I think everyone is ready for a break and a family vacation somewhere.

We will post more new on May 11th once we know more.

APRIL 1ST 2017

Hello to you all out there.

March has been a pretty busy month for the Holley family.

The main focus was with Amber and the trial as she gets ready to take the stand. She was very scared and upset but Matt sent out a facebook message to all his friends asking them to send cards to Amber to be strong and it worked.

She has been meeting with the SA for the last few weeks and going over what she remembers and other things as well. Just found out that trial date has been moved to June but not sure what dates yet. This has just been dragging on over and over so this is just another blow in trying to get this resolved.

Matt and Jamie will be meeting with the SA soon to go over the next steps in the case and get some things in order to make sure this can get finished up.

There are always going to be the what if’s so anything can change in a heart beat.

Keep checking back here for updated news this month.

MARCH 1ST 2017

Hello to you all!!

It’s been a busy month around the Holley house here in Romeoville.

Wafflez the cat got fixed on Friday the 24th and she is doing good despite having to wear a head cone around her neck. The other cats are taking really good care of her as well.

Tiger update: He is now doing better since being put on some meds and it gaining weight again.

The kids are doing their normal kid things but are struggling in some areas because of the pending trial and it is affecting them both.

Jamie has been trying to keep busy and get her mind off everything going on and is working with the kids to make sure they are doing ok as best they can.

Matt is working on some geocaching things but has been home for the most part working on helping the kids and Jamie stay positive. Matt has reached out to his friends and asked them to send cards to Amber since she is terrified to take the stand.

The last thing that is Jamie and Matt are separated but continue to support one another and the kids. This has been a very hard road but they are committed to making sure Bret and Amber are taken care of.


FEBRUARY 19th 2017

This has been a long hard year plus for all of us here and we continue to struggle and with that struggle things change, so with that being said Jamie and I have made the decision to separate. First and foremost we will always be there for Bret and Amber. They are priority number one for us but Jamie is under a massive depressed state and has lost feeling for many things and this has made things in our marriage difficult in some aspects. We are not mad or upset with each other but feel like we are more friends then husband and wife. We will continue to live in the same house so we can take care of Bret and Amber but at some point we will move to a complete dissolve of the marriage.

Thanks,

Matt and Jamie


FEBRUARY 1st 2017

Hello everyone!!

Welcome to the 2nd month of the year.

First off, we would like to say that we have not heard from the states attorney about the case and have been trying to reach her.

Matt has some geocaching things going on this month and he also just replaced the water heater with a friend. Work has been busy the last couple weeks of January with no signs of slowing down. He is also working on a commemorative ammo can with Jamie for his caching partner who just reached 100,000 finds.

Matt also got 2 new Tarantula’s and will be asking for your help to name them later in the month. We now have 15 and 1 more on the way if all goes well.

Jamie has been working on some projects with her new silhouette cameo 3 and she is loving it very much. It’s also her B-Day this month on the 8th so make sure to wish her a happy b-day. The ammo can she has been working on with Matt looks amazing and we can’t wait to show you all once it’s done and given to Matt’s caching partner.

Jamie has also been very depressed with all the things going on with Amber and the case that is pending to go to trial. We hope that she will recover from the pain and be able to move forward. This has been a very hard and stressful time for her and the rest of us as well.

Bret jas been playing his video games and working best he can in school. He was frustrated at some math he was given a few weeks back but after a talk he was able to pull it together and did a great job on a test getting a B. Common Core really sucks!!

Amber has been doing more singing and live.me broad casts and she join the choir as school. It is awesome to see her smile and enjoy life after what she has been through and still going through.

We hope this month brings you great adventures and many smiles.


JANUARY 2nd, 2016

HAPPY NEW YEAR FROM THE HOOLEY’S

The month of December flew by pretty fast so here are the updates we have for you.

We got a call from the states attorney saying that the defense has asked for a plea of 20 years. Court was held on December 30th and the defense backed out of the deal. At this point unless the plea is accepted then we will be going to trial. This has been a long and frustrating process but we spoke to Amber and she said that if we have to go to trial then so be it.

As for other things that are going on:

Bret got his Data Bank for his PS4 he wanted so he can load more games.

Matt got to adopted a Giraffe from Brookfield zoo for the Share The Care Program and has visited the zoo a couple time since getting this gift.

Amber got a few things she wanted and was pretty happy over all.

Jamie got her new silhouette cameo 3 and was thrilled.

Upcoming things for January is some geocaching adventures and making some giraffe stuff with the silhouette.


DECEMBER 1st 2016

Hello everyone!!

November was a pretty rough month for us since it’s the holidays and we don’t spent it the way we would like but we did get to enjoy some family and friends.

Matt stated going to consoling and said “It’s helping”

Bret, Amber, and Jamie are still in consoling as well and Jamie goes to group as well.

We saw that there maybe a plea deal in the works so this maybe over soon but we shall see.

NOVEMBER 1st 2016

Matt went out to Cali to do some geocaching and had a great time and got 1820 caches in 2 1/2 days. He is also looking at getting a few more tarantulas this month if all goes well.

Jamie is working on her blanket trying to get it done and also working on some other projects. She is going to be taking some vacation days here and there as well. She is also scheduling some doctors appointments to get some things looked at.

Bret has been chilling out in his room chatting with friends, playing on the PS4 and his phone. He is doing good and enjoys staying home with his family. He is looking forward to his B-Day on the 17th he will be 13!!

Amber wants to get a another snake but Jamie is not really to keen on that one. She will just have to make due with what she has right now. She helps out with the tarantulas too so that is pretty cool.

For the month of November we will try and update some of the pages on Holleynet and try to get the chat room back up and running.

Great Aunt Kathy passed away in October and will be missed so much by a lot of people.


OCTOBER 1st 2016

It was a busy September and October is seems to be about the same.

Matt will be going to a couple nudist events and also Nevada/California for a geocaching trip

Jamie will be working on projects and continues trying to get a couple blankets crocheted.

A few side notes:

Jamie will be going on some new meds to help with her depression.

Matt’s Birthday is coming up and for his B-Day weekend he will be going to get some earth caches.


SEPTEMBER 1st 2016

Well this month flew by and all of us were pretty busy with lots of things going on.

Amber joined a running club called Girls On Fire and she is also a patrol officer.

Bret is not happy about being back at school but still has his good friend that makes it a little better. He is still enjoying his video games an chats with lots of people so at least he is not just sitting in his room doing nothing right?

Matt is working on some new geocaching stuff and also doing a few trips along with a kayak event.

Jamie was busy working on some awesome projects and still has a few that she is working on.

Big news is that we are trying to get things situated for a move to Colorado next summer if all goes well. We have hired a relator that also happens to be a Geocacher so that is a plus. Matt has known him for 6 to 7 years.

Update on how things are going with my dad and all that we have not heard much except for what other tell us. We are not sure when he will be going on trial or if he plans to accept the plea deal. He was offered 26 years but heard he turned this down. At this point we are just wanting this to be over and done with.

We also have 2 hummingbirds that come around now to out feeder so that is pretty cool.


August 1st 2016

July 1st, 2016

Hello to you all!!

Had to imagine that it’s already July but it is. Here are a few things that have gone on the last Month.

Bret and Amber are enjoying the summer hanging out with friend and doing other things too.

Matt has slowed down a bit in Geocaching spending more time at home and enjoying the summer.

Jamie has been chilling out as well and enjoying the kids being home from school.

Amber got a new snake (Normal Corn Snake) and she loves it.

Matt got a new Tarantula and pic will be up later in the month.

The last poll we had was about updating Holleynet more often and we got some responses that more would be a good addition instead of once a month. Starting this month we will update the news page 3 to 4 times. We will also post on our facebook page with updates too!!

We changed a few links here on Holleynet (Music, Pictures, and Video) to better serve you. We have also put up a new poll to better understand if you like the change or not.


June 1st, 2016

Bret has passed 6th grade and of course he is now a 7th grader

Amber passed 4th grade and is now a 5th grader. She is also been accepted as a safety patrol officer.

Jamie is still working on projects and doing other things with the kids.

Matt is spending more time at home but has a few trips planned. He will be going to finish up his east coast states and finally get his Jasmer completed.

What is the Jasmer you ask?

  The Jasmer Challenge requires you to find at least one cache placed every month since Geocaching was invented, in May 2000. This is difficult, as some geographic areas are missing some of the earliest caching months; the full Jasmer challenge may require you to travel significantly from your home location.Therefore, many cachers have created “mini Jasmer challenges” which require you to only find one cache placed during each month of a specific year, i.e. you must find a cache placed during each month of the year 2002.

MAY 1st, 2016

May is here and hopefully spring/summer is too.

Not much going on but here is a few things:

Matt went to Nevada geocaching and got over 5600 caches and went to number 5 in the state of IL and he now has 36,000 plus finds.

Jamie is working on some projects but the main one is finishing up an ammo can for a geocacher. Pictures will be posted once it’s all done.

Bret is waiting for school to get out so he can hang out with his friends more.

Amber is enjoying her snake and is now feeding it on her own.


APRIL 1st, 2016

Lots of things are happening for Holleynet as we continue to add more content and update pages.

Hello all!! Had a little bit of a snag here on Holleynet. Was working on some new things and I deleted all the files from Holleynet but thanks to the web hosting company Ace-Net they got it all restored except for some changes that I did today but those are now fixed.


FEBRUARY 1st, 2016

We have been on the new Holleynet for a month now and we will be updating more pages this month.

This is a slow process and takes time so thanks for your understanding as we get this updated.

Jamie hasn’t been working on too many projects lately and is focusing on other things.

Matt has not been doing much geocaching but has a few trips planned but is also staying home more and spending time with family.

Matt also got a new Tarantula and looks like he will be getting a few more this year.

Bret is doing more with friends and looks like he may start bowling every week.

Amber is having issues at school with bullies and we are working on getting that resolved with the school. She has been very strong with everything going on and keeps a positive attitude most of the time.

Matt and Amber will be attending the daddy daughter dance on Feb. 6th in Romeoville and Amber is so excited.

HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU ALL!!

Welcome to the new Holleynet website. We have been working on this for a month or so and some pages are still the older ones and may need you to switch to compatibility mode in IE but if you have this enabled when looking at the new website this will make it look different.

We will be changes more of the pages over as time goes on and hope to have this all completed by June of 2016.

We will also be adding content as the months go on so be sure to check back with us often.

Kids have enjoyed the Christmas break and are enjoying the gifs they received.

Matt and Jamie continue to be busy working on projects and others things.


DECEMBER 1st 2015
