Hey Blog!
[: aha.
I'm happy. You can always tell you're happy when you listen to things like Michael Buble (pretend there's an accent on the "e", I'm not that clever) and Frank Sinatra. Maybe thats a silly philosophy but its mine anyways. Today my mom asked me why I'm so quiet. I didn't really know it was possible for me to be quiet.Apparently being gone until midnight everyday changes everything. I found a new angry song. Its called the way you lie. Check it out and sing it when you're angry its wonderful. --if you're a girl.



Do you get to wake up to things like this? no!

[: but I do.

The other night my boyfriend said he felt bad for me. I was worried about what wold come next, but all he said was "because you don't know what it feels like to have the best girlfriend in the world." or something like that. I was totally not expecting such cleverness so I had nothing to come back with. It was truly a bummer. But i can assure you that moment has been filed in my cabinet and will be reflected on in future moments. It will always bring a smile to my face though.
Funny I wonder if this video will now be able to show up on "google." haha. He doesn't know it yet, but he's famous.

Its funny that my family still has no idea this blog exists. No one really does except one friend, my boyfriend, and someone in Lafayette Colorado who apparently stalks me religiously.
My family leaves for Ghana tomorrow. Today my mom asked me why they're not taking me with them and it majorly sucked. Stabbed to the heart. I told her she can never say that again because I've wanted to go to Africa since being in the WOMB so one day she has to make up for this evil thing she's doing.
Sad day.
Someday I'll go though.
Just not on a honey moon.

The baby cravings have mildly become weaker. Thats probably just because I haven't been around any lately. But soon the dreams will continue. I do constantly shop for swimsuits though. Can't wait til next week when I actually go buy one!
However I have decided when i go to vegas I will probably mostly wear skirts because those will be cooler in the HOPEFULLY hot weather. [:
Skirts and swimsuits, I can live with that.
Have I told you how excited I am to go? No?
Well I'm super duper excited. I think about it like--daily.
It will be extremely wonderful.

Its been an interesting week to say the least. I'm going to miss my Familia. Beyond tomorrow I don't really see them for about 3 months. Mom is the best mom ever. And has covered my fridge with lists of reminders like "dog's food" "turn off lights" "feed kelsey" "take kelsey to seminary"
I must seem really really irresponsible.

OH and I curled my hair and liked it.. so here it is. So when I'm forty I can look back at this pic and remember the good old days. Haha.

 haha. Yes.

Thats all for today.
[: I'm glad this blog is boring. Then maybe i'll never have to make it public. [:

OH and I got flowers!

Peach roses --my new fav.

Craving Crazy.

 

 Today is just one of those days. You wake up and think, man I have a wonderful boyfriend. Then you call your best friend and you guys talk about all sorts of memories and you can't wait to see her. And in this state of euphoria you don't want to do homework, or read any books.  You want to sit on the floor listen to music and eat fritos and bean dip. Yum. Yum Yum. So in this state of procrastination and displacement you wonder whats on my mind? Babies.
Yes yes even reading that makes me cringe but I can't help it. I find myself constantly looking at women and their maternity clothes. Constantly playing with babies, and now dreaming about being pregnant. This is the second time I've woken up discouraged to find my belly is still just eating for one. I should probably work on being brave enough to get married before I want to be a parent. I think I'm only looking at the romantic sides of things. I don't think i'm looking at how sick I would be or the responsibility I think I'm just looking at the excitement side. Yikes. Enough of THAT crazy..
But also, I'm constantly looking at home decorative magazines. Yet I'm not ready to give up being with my family all the time. And not watch kelsey grow up. Ay yie yie.
Anyhow moving on [:


I have wonderful wonderful people in my life.
Anna
  She was the first best friend I ever had and she shaped a lot of who I am today. We had some rocky times but she's always going to be there for me. She looks out for me and tells it like it is, but never ever judges me. I'm so grateful for her.
Jamie
  She will forever be the best friend I've ever had. Nuff Said I freakin love this girl. Someone marry her soon please, before you miss your chance.
Garth.
   Wonderfully the best guy on the planet. Period.


See see? So blessed. [:
I can be content for now [;


PS
I'm going here. [:

     Hey blog its been a while since I've seen you!  I most definitely had company this past weekend. Company that I accidentally stole a ring from. Thats what you get when you don't sleep for 4 nights straight and then say your goodbyes quickly at the airport drop off. 

I can't really explain all that happened this weekend. First things first, my family spent Saturday thinking I was getting engaged. If you go a couple posts down and read, you know that this is not true. A little confusion with a text message and a lot of people letting their mind get away from them. So no, I'm not engaged. And I promise that my parents would know, immediately. Also probably the world of facebook. Just saying. 

I beat my boyfriend at Mario Cart. Maybe its spelled with a K. I don't really know, the point is I won. Well then he cheated, and won. But Thats not important because cheaters deserve to lose anyways. Have you ever played the Kinect on Xbox? If not I highly recommend it. Just make sure when you beat your boyfriend in a race you're prepared for him to want to do it over three more times. Then he'll complain that maybe you're arms are flailing more and helping, so he'll try that. But alas, no cigar, you still win, and he just tries to pretend like the hole thing didn't happen. Its okay, deep down you'll still know you're awesome. 

OH! Here's something exciting, I waxed Garth's feet. Now I know I know you're thinking two things. 1. Gross. 2. You hate feet. Truth is I do hate feet. But making them more acceptable isn't a problem. Plus he was in a lot of pain. It was sad, but funny. 

All and all it was a good weekend. A very very good weekend. And now I am back to only telling my computer about my days. (no offense computer). 

See? ..Not healthy.

Summer Summer Summer

What is up with this whole, feels like Summer in March!? Its quite the tease, and not a good kind. Its making me want to do all my usual summer-y things. Yet if I do them, it will snow the next day and make me feel foolish. Mother Nature really hates us Colorado-ans.

Decided: Its been far too long since I've had a pedicure. Almost two semesters. Maybe I was a little spoiled with the fact I was getting one about once a month, but I'm getting sick of doing them myself. Soft Feet are the only tolerable feet. And french tips are the best looking feet. Definitely. Ooh I'm excited.

Also Decided, I want to lay out in the sun. Not necessarily just to be tan-lets face it there's no point. My boyfriend will always make me feel extremely white. But I want to tan. Half way tempted to fake tan just to have the sensation of laying in the sun. Its a definite possibility. Except fake tanning brings out all my freckles!

Currently Hoping:

To Visit my sister in Vegas! My whole family is going to Africa, and not taking me so I'd like to go be at the pool with my big sister. I get so close to my mom saying "yes" but then she gets busy like most women do when they're avoiding situations. Women make time for the things they want so clearly my mom doesn't want to send me to Vegas. I'm still going to push her to it though, I can be undeniably persuasive. Who cares about the strip, take me to the pool!
  On A side note, If I don't visit in April, I'm going with Garth. It has been decided. Thank you very much.


Currently Learning:
Being a parent will be rough. Watching my sister getting punished yesterday was interesting. I was so so excited about the fact I was included in my parents meeting about her. At the end I said "good work guys meeting adjourned!" and they instantly regretted inviting me. However, I am now being referred to as star child number 2. I gladly accept this label. Star Child number one went to Africa, and is a Male, so I don't expect to be moving up in the ranks anytime soon but Its nice to know where I stand with the parents in terms of favorites. To stay where I am I just can't run off to Vegas, date a half-fro, or talk back to any teachers. I think I'm safe in my spot. Star Child Number 2 it is!

Kelsey Is still Cute though.

Plus she's going to be Hot. So. She's got that going for her.

Currently wondering: What is the definition of being alive? How do we define it?


Currently loving: This Wonderful man, Jack.

Sunshine.

And Picture messaging!

Also: Bubble Butts.
Yes, I did say "Bubble Butts". Let me like what I want. [;

Pictures!

I have to add these. [: Sorry Garth.

But apparently he likes to point.

And this is his job. And it makes me smile, because he looks cute.

Extremely so.

Okay okay, I realize that this is the day after my first post and I'm posting again. Maybe I'm obsessive, or maybe-just maybe I'm excited. I predict that as my life gets more busy, and the excitement of this new found journal dies down, my posts will become more spread out. But for now, I have so much to smile about I want to share! And by share I mean with my computer, I haven't really told anyone about this blog so, really its just between me and the computer.
So, computer, here's why I'm smiling.

Reason Number One: I had two snow cones for breakfast. Yes, two. Who said all breakfasts had to be healthy?

Reason Number Two:

Its snowing today and it is beautiful! I pulled back the blanket hanging on my window (yes I said blanket, I'm kickin' it old school-no blinds) and smiled. The snow flakes are big and perfect. Most importantly they're not sticking so I'll still be safe to drive in my little green car.

Reason Number Three:
I re-organized my room. Its spic and span! Whatever that really means. Point is with the help of Jack Johnson I cleaned it while smiling. I love the feeling of newly cleaned places.

Reason Number Four:
I'm alive, and I love it.

One Quick Glance

 I figure in order to do this blogging right, I should start with my present state of life. Recently the most frequent questions I hear are: "When are you getting married?" "Where do you go to school?" and "Where do you work?" 


School: I attend BYUI right now, and I love it. Rexburg is my snow globe and I plan on staying there til prince charming sweeps me away. Or more realistically, until I realize I'm poor and Rexburg is not exactly booming. But the first one sounds more exciting right? 
I go back in the spring. No flip flops, no shorts, just me and my lovely little town. [: 


Work: I work for the Devil. Aka Dish Network. Too keep this positive I'll tell you what its taught me. Anything is happier than idleness. How do I know this? I'm happier being yelled at from 3pm to 12 am than I am when I'm not using my brain. What else did I learn? Most people on this planet sound like southern black women. 

Marriage: You people keep asking me like I scream desperation! Truth be told I'm not quite ready to strut down the aisle. Am I ready for a sparkly diamond and princess dress? Yes. What girl isn't ready for a day thats all about her, and cake, a lot of cake. Do I have a boyfriend? yes. Is he an RM? Yes. Is he my brother's old companion and best friend? Yes. So whats your point? Time will tell my friends. Time will tell. (My first of many future cliches on this blog). 




Now that I've answered all those silly questions its time to talk about what I want! 

   Simple Joys: Swimsuit shopping. Not the kind where you have to actually try it on and look at your body--no a better kind. Over the computer. Be it a one piece, bikinis, or tankinis, whatever the style nothing can brighten a day like thinking of the warm summer sun and a perfect swimsuit. 
Also, Smoothies. Drink them frequently for best results.

Also Running in the sun. I prefer to run at noon and sweat. Pretty gross for a female to say, I know. But after I run I sit in the sun. Never mind the fact I smell, or that the sweat makes the hair around my face curl like Albert Einstein's. In that moment I feel good, and confident.


Currently Learning: 
- There will always be something we can wait for to make us happy. Dropping a dress size (or for me, gaining one), having more money, a bigger house, or even a baby. The point is to be happy now, and I'm slowly learning that happiness has to be a choice. Happiness doesn't just happen to lucky people, its chosen by wise people.
- To cook. My poor future husband is going to be miserable at dinner time--and he doesn't even know it yet.
- To love myself before I can love others. (this lesson has to be learned many times in life)

This week this talk gave me a reason to smile. I read it Sunday after church.

Trying it on for size

   This would be my first post in a blog--ever. I think I may have tried it when I was about 12, but I never tried again. This is essentially my way of keeping a journal of my many happy moments. I have been truly blessed in life. So...here goes nothing. [:

Today:

 My mother's birthday. Despite her attempts to not celebrate we managed to slide in a couple gifts. (I won't mention how old she is)

 I have a wonderful boyfriend--just saying.

 I sang a lot. Mostly love songs. 

 I fell on the ice and I guess it gave me something to laugh at. 

 I began blogging--and though no one is reading, I feel I have millions of fans.
