New goals

Alright everyone, so today was a good day. Wanna know why? Cause I was able to organize my life a little.

So did anyone know that there are such things as white board paper sheets?! I was shocked when my roommate told me they had some at the local craft store. So we went and got some this afternoon and now I have a white board, right on my wall!!! It's the most wonderful "To-Do" list I've ever had!

So I did all my homework for tonight and then I listed everything I need to get done this week, and then a total of books I have left to read, and the total plays. 9 more for each. sigh... I'll do it! I promise, I will get it done!

But other than that I just spent the rest of the day locked away in my room upstairs. From about 5-10 I was either taking an assessment about Islam, doing a Scripture Study worksheet, or reading yet another young adult novel... But I was able to get it all done before 11!

So here I am committing to my daily post and writing to all my adoring fans. Just kidding, I know that everyone is just fascinated with my sad little life. I don't know why.. I'm just living. Just going along, trying to do whats right.

Well hopefully something a little more exciting will happen tomorrow so I can really catch your attention.

Toodles for now,

Kelly

A Package!

Silly things, packages. People sending us things that we think we so desperately need or they could be just little surprises. In my case, they were both.

Momma and Daddy sent me a package just last week with some essentials that I had asked for, but then, as always, Daddy stuffed it full of little goodies, Momma too ;)

I come to find that my scripture case isn't just full of my baptism scriptures, but Egg flower and Miso soup mixes, four comics from Momma's daily calendar, a miniature tub of pink cotton candy, and... (shudder..) Chocolate Covered Gummy Bears.

Has anyone else eaten these little morsels? I took one bite this morning, thinking I would find marshmallows on the inside but instead bit into a lime flavored chocolate covered bear... ick. I appreciated greatly that my parents thought I might loves these little things, but oh no.. unfortunately I am right with my mother when I cringe at the thought of gummy anything being covered in chocolate.

Other than that, today was pleasant. I was able to get to all of my classes, and get a fair amount of cleaning done before Family Home Evening later tonight. It was sprung on us at around 4 that "Oh yeah FHE's at your apartment! You have the lesson. Thanks" Well, that's just peachy for you isn't it?...

So I did the dishes, picked up a little in the living room, and made sure I got most of my homework done before everyone came over, which now included a lesson for this evening... I turned to the new Ensign we just recieved this Sunday. A wonderful talk by president Uchtdorf came to my rescue. I read the article and then lead a decent little discussion. I was just so grateful that everyone in our "Family" participated. I got plenty of compliments and I was just thankful I made it through...

Well, I procrastinated... again. As I was completing the critique of a play I needed to see for a class that is due by 5 tomorrow, my wonderful roommates decided to entice me with a viewing of Pride and Prejudice. I couldn't resist.. So, I saved my work and settled into the couch. We ended up, some how, using each other as the others pillow and practically falling asleep before the end of the movie.

But now it is 12am and I'm off to bed. Hopefully I can keep up with my posts. Thanks to all who read! I was shocked when my mother kept telling me how many people came to her and were so sad that I stopped posting for a while. I really didn't think anyone thought that much of my posts. Now, if I had some followers, I'll post everyday!!! So if you are a constant reader of my blog, then please scroll down and find a cute little section where you'll see those who follow me, and please take the time to become the next one!

Love and miss all my friend's and Family,

Kelly

A good feeling...

Have you ever had that feeling of "yeah, I'm doing good"... Even though your life may be crazy and all over the place, you know that you're doing what you need to be doing. I love that feeling. It's like a blanket of happiness and joy that snuggles around you and just makes you feel... safe.
I am so grateful for where I am in my life. For my accomplishments, my success's, my new experience's and even my failures. Yes, my failures! I am so glad that in this life we are given the opportunity to mess everything up, and then learn and grow from it and learn to do things even better the next time.
I'm at a point in my life where I am making serious choices and decisions that will affect me for the rest of my life. I'm constantly trying to figure out what I'm doing after college, I mean I have my dreams and aspirations and I'm working on them, but I really have no idea what my future holds. I could be MARRIED NEXT YEAR!(doubt it.. highly.. buuuut who knows :) ) That brings me to that all important choice of who to marry, and more importantly, when... I'm surrounded by married, engaged, and dating couples. I can't escape it! So that's always on my mind. Then that leads to where I'm starting my family, if I'm going to work, and then that just brings us full circle to what I'm going to do after college.
Sigh... but I'm going to be ok. I just know it. I can feel it. So as I start this new week, I'm looking forward, and pressing on with faith.

Love lots
Kelly <3

New year, new things to worry about, new changes

I'M SO SORRY TO ALL WHO HAVE BEEN CHECKING MY BLOG!!!

Disney decided that I was a human robot, in stead of a human being and made me work crazy hours from Halloween till New Years. Now that I'm back at school I have a little time between classes, and I have my weekends back!!! HURRAH!

Ok so in short, Disney World was amazing. I met wonderful people, friends for life that followed me to school, and made memories that will last a lifetime. UNFORTUNATELY due to the nature of the work I did with the Mouse, I can't explain all the fun in detail. Don't want to ruin the magic ;)

Let's jump right to my big move back to the Berg!!! January 1st ran as follows:

Work from 11:30-12:00

Steak n Shake with the crew ( friends including Brad, Emily, Katelin, and Jenna)

Home at an unreasonable, unmentionable hour

Bed

January 2nd was our last hurrah in Magic Kingdom ( MK to all us College program kids) Watched the parade, did our favorites ( Space, Big Thunder, Pirates, Haunted Mansion...)

Kate had a delicious looking Mickey premium ice cream bar, and Em and myself had Corn Dog Nuggets with nacho cheese sauce at Casey's for the last time :( and then we meandered our way up Main Street, and said our goodbyes to Cinderella's Castle one last time on our last ride on the monorail.

When we got home that night, we were a panicked mess. We cleaned the house top to bottom for check outs, and the we finished packing. Now by packing we mean this....

So now you see why I wasn't in the biggest hurry to update my blog.

Now things get interesting...

So this is how the 3rd ran:

Outta the apartment by 8 (After cleaning it till about 3)

Got picked up by a nice big van to transport us, and 6 massive suitcases to the airport ( Kate, em and I all got a flight around the same time on the same airline). We got through security, and waited.. and waited.. and waited...

Then we all go on our flights ( me and em, and then kate took a slightly earlier one) and we headed home.

Em and I got to Salt Lake at around 9 ish and went straight to bed. Then we woke up the next morning, packed up the car and drove up to Rexburg. We moved in just fine, and classes started the next day.

To sum up January... a blur... that's all. I seriously don't know how I've coped. When I signed up for the college program in march, I thought "Yeah, I'll get through til Christmas and go straight to school. No biggie"

Guess what... Big biggie... I probably spent the first week crying cause I was so stressed. But then The Wilson's, bless their hearts, surprised my parents and me with a quickie trip up to Idaho, for the long weekend. I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas present than to able able to see my mom and dad after 5 long months. It was truly a blessing, and I am so grateful that things worked out so well.

After they left I felt rejuvenated and pumped. And the last couple weeks have been lost in blur of Homework, a couple trips to Utah, and reading.

Now this is the end of my Doings with Disney. No more parks, no more magic, no more characters, no more parades, no more costumes, no more mickey bars, no more 50% discounts, no more weekends spent trying to figure out which park to go to, and no more magic. On to the grown up ways of life, and it's time to place the pixie dust on the top shelf... so long Neverland ;)
