Not a Happy Ending, But Still Happy

He's home!!! Finally. We went to the airport to pick him up and I walk right passed him and didn't recognize him. he did his "cool man" wave and I gave him a skeptical look and was like " why is this dude waving at me?" Then I realized it was him and wanted to jump into his arms and give him the biggest hug ever, and tell him how much I missed him,  but I knew he wouldn't like that, so I just slowly walked over to him and said "hey", I was a little disappointed but I was happy to have him home. 

He's Home (almost)

Remember this boy? The older one, well he comes home in six days. Do you know how happy that makes me, of course you don't so let me tell you. It makes me super happy. And the best part is... he's coming home for more than just a week or two. He's coming home for four months! I can't wait. Brady make these last six days come faster, I can't wait to see your face.

Summertime = Happiness

I've been awake for approximately (wait, let me count) five and a half hours and five of them have been spent outside. Dude it's like 75 degrees, and I'm loving it. I took my dog and brothers (real and adopted) on a walk. I read my book and went to Home Depot. That doesn't sound like enough to take up five hours, but our walk ended up taking an hour and a half, and I read for like two hours. That never happens. The sun just makes me extremely happy. Well, I better go help my Popsie get ready to plant flowers! I cant wait!

A Hidden Treasure

Not really hidden, just forgotten. Two words Vanessa Carlton. Totally forgot she existed until today. And just because I know how much you love music videos, here is my very favorite.

   

LOVE

i dream about the feelings i'll feel, and the ways i'll show you.

i dream about you and i being silly, because thats just the way we are.

i dream about the moment you tell me you love me, 

and i just smile because i feel it too.

i dream about the day that's ours, that we'll be sealed.

i dream about kissing your nose when i wake up in the night, 

and kissing your sweet lips when you leave for the day.

i dream about it a lot, you know.

i dream about cooking you dinner

and surprising you with that book or game you wanted because there 

was a little more money in my spending budget. 

i dream about your excitement as a little something grows inside my belly,

and your hand in mine when our children come to be.

i dream about them calling you daddy, and about them

getting excited when they hear that car door.

i dream about cuddling up to a movie after the kids are in bed,

because we need some 'us time'.

i dream about all the little things,

like kisses and hugs and simple little smiles.

because i know we'll find each other,

and i know it will be what God has planned.

the hard part now is waiting,

only because i feel you so close,

yet so far because i don't know who you are.

but i know you're there.

i know you're out there somewhere just waiting for me,

just like i'm waiting for you.

i know you love me a little bit, because you dream about me.

but its okay, i love you already because i dream about you too.

just give it time, and we'll finally find what we've been waiting for.

I dream of days just like this one ( P.S this is not me, I just borrowed it from Pinterest.)

I found this cute little poem(that may or may not be what I dream about) here. And I love it.

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Awkward:
-The bruise on my foot that is in the shape of a horse shoe. Like the actual size of a horses foot. My skin is a pretty blue-green color. I always find a way to hurt myself.
-Talking to random people in the hallway. What do you say when they give you little look like "I don't want to do it, you do. If you don't do it I'm going home. Okay I'll do it" Sorry, I just had a Kid History moment.
- Quoting Kid History when either the person next to you gives the look like "what the heck are you talking about child." or having to say after you quote Kid History  "um Kid History moment, sorry you didn't catch on to that, and I know that you've seen it so don't pretend you haven't." I only said half of that out loud.
- Shoving breakfast down your throat, when your brother walks in with his attractive friend and your like " oh hey don't mind me, I'm just running a bit late." Then choking on the food you just placed in your mouth. In that situation you hid your face and run out of the room. And make your little brother go in that room when you forget something, just to resist the embarrassment.
-Being that kid in class who is the ONLY who will answer questions, so after you answer one question you sulk down in your chair and hope the teacher doesn't call on you.
- Every time you try to spell because, you have to use the acronym: big elephants can always use some exercise; because it's not like you have been spelling that since you were in second grade. But even worse, yesterday I couldn't remember how to spell Mississippi. Do you remember having contests in like first grade to see who could spell it the fastest. I always lost those contests. It might still be the longest word I know.(Kidding)
Awesome:
- Driving down the highway BLASTING Mulan. Best night ever. The best part was that it was my brothers idea.
- Talking to the Elders almost everyday this week. They  crack me up. It was even better when one of them asked me for sheet music.
- Horseback ridding. I went fast. That's the reason for my bruise. But it was totally worth it.
- Watching Up in Spanish. Cutest love story ever.
- Late night runs to McDonald's. I don't sleep so it's no problem.
 - over competitive dads. NOT. It was the Pinewood Derby for goodness sake, and it was for your son not you! Lets just say that I had to leave the room.
- The mini photo session I had with Brock. One of the cutest kids ever, and the pictures turned out goo for just messing around.
- The song previously mentioned in the post before. Rocking out to it right now.
- It's raining, it's pouring, my old man is snoring. I love the rain. I wish it would rain all day everyday. I promise I'm not a sad person, for some weird reason it makes me happy.
-The sunshine. So I sound bipolar right now I know but the sun is finally starting to come out.
- Lastly, for "entry task" in history we were asked to draw our favorite famous person, and I drew Chuck Norris (even though I have no idea who he is, and just last week I found out that he is real) and he had a super cool mustache/beard. Be jealous of my drawing skills. Really don't because they're not that great.

I have been planning this post for like three days. Tells you how much of a life I really have. Lets be honest, life has been kind of slow lately. Most of my days are the kick-back-and-relax/ throw-your-feet-up-on-the-nearest-table sort of days. I've mostly been writing stories. I think they turned out pretty good. Someday I might just put them on here. But they are even longer than this post, and I couldn't type fast to save my life.

Oh Joshua

Different Joshua then normal. Joshua Radin to be exact.

I smiled as soon as I heard the beat. Definitely a summer song. I think I've listened to it like 10 times in a row.

What to Write?

Well, as of late I have been: 

- Rocking out to rock music. Who knew? Me of all people.

- Quoting Kid History a ridiculously amount of times. Um like five times today. I might just be a little bit obsessed.

- Taking a few to many pictures

- Studying my brains out. Teachers please stop doing this to me

- Finding new music that I never knew I even owned

- And last but not least, I have had so many conversations with the Elders this week. It's a wee bit weird (weird as in I've never talked to Elders so much in my life,but it's cool), but they are awesome, so I'm not complaining.

I guess I am making more lists tomorrow. Maybe I should add making lists onto my list.

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

Awkward:
- The conversation that brought up my overly flirtatious science teacher, and ended with me and Meagan telling our sixth hour teacher how flirtatious he was. Then our teacher saying "well, if it get's out of hand just let me know and I'll take care of it." He may have more power than teachers. And he likes to pretend he's our Dad. It's awesome. Really
- Having to explain how someone is being/ is flirtatious. I just say " you know, they do that thing, and then..."
- not having any clothes to wear, so you just wear the sames ones you did yesterday. No problem, I'll just do laundry um, never.
- When someone is hiding on the other side of the corner and then they jump out at you and almost make you pee your pants. And then realize it's that one boy who has had a crush on you since you were like seven, and just happens to be weird. I just have the worst luck with guys.
- Talking to that boy, previously mentioned, because you are forced to. Small talk, it's my favorite.
-eHarmony commercials. No I don't like talking to people in person, why would I want to talk to them on the internet and then "fall in love with them" , I'm not the most trusting person. I would be to scared to talk to a stranger.
Awesome:
- Dancing down the hall in your socks. It's normal at home but at school it's a different story. I just hate wearing shoes. But mostly I couldn't twirl in my shoes, it was to hard.
- The story I wrote that I just happened to be the Princess in. My dreams came true in that book.
- All the songs that I've recently remembered about. It's awesome
- Math homework. Not.
- Feeding the Elders. We always seem to have the best of times. I guess you would just of had to be there.
-My brother jumping a pile of wood on his dirt bike. It was super cool.
- The fact that my brother happened to bring a friend over to eat Pops this morning, and I decided not ot look cute today, and his friend was soooo good looking.
- There is only one day left till the best day of my life. Now watch them not show up. Wouldn't that be great.

Just a Little Finding

What I Believe

For those of you who don't know, I am a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. I have been contemplating sharing my testimony on my blog for months and I finally feel like today I am meant to share it. And hey what better day to do it then Easter?
I know that I am a child of God, and so are you. He loves each and everyone of us and know us personally. We are His children and He wants us to come home. We all have a purpose hear on this Earth and if we complete that purpose we will be able to live with our Father in Heaven again. I know that my Savior lived and died for me and He loves us so much that I cannot even imagine. HE is our Savior and Redeemer, and through him we can receive true happiness. I know that the Book of Mormon is a true book and it will bring you true happiness if  you will read it.I know that Joseph Smith was a real man and that he really did heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. He was a real prophet of God and he was called by God to restore the gospel  and bring it back to this earth. I know that Thomas S. Monson, our prophet today, is a prophet of God also, and that he is heavenly Father's mouthpiece hear on this earth. I know that Heavenly Father hears and answers our prayers. I ma so grateful that families are forever and that I will get to live with mine for time and all eternity.
HAPPY EASTER!

Three in a Row

I'll make this one speedy, just because my computer is going to die.
 Parachute, I love them.
Look up these songs and fall in love with them like I did:
-She is Love(acoustic)
-The Mess I Made
-Forever and Always (try not to cry)
-Kiss Me Slowly
-Something to Believe In
-All That I Am
-What I Know
P.S I wasn't very generous and I didn't link any of these. Sorry.

This is Love

Why I wrote that letter, I have no idea. I guess I just got bored. Honest to goodness I just wanted to put out there that there really are "normal" girls in this world. We don't dream about marring a guy because they are extremely good looking or because they have a good career and lots of money. We dream about marring a guy who is funny, loving, appreciative,respectful, goofy, nerdy, corky,  who does have a career a head of him so he can support us, but that isn't the reason we are in love with him. Dashing good looks are only a bonus. We want our guy to have his priorities set strait. We want him to have nice shoulders because we ARE going to need a shoulder to cry on. Not only once but tons of times. We're girls and we're emotional, what can I say. Stupid hormones. We want him to sing us romantic love songs, like this one, off key and out of tune because that's the way that we like it because that's the way HE sings them. Nope a good voice is not something I am looking for. If he finds it funny that we hate wearing pants then that's even better. And if he will sit on the couch and read books with us on Saturdays then we will most definitely be in love with him. We want him to tell us that we are beautiful, not hot. We want him to tell all his friends about us, and to be able to put up with are crazy mood swings. To calm our fears, make us laugh when we want to cry, play doctor when we fall, and kiss our owies better, to be there to hold us when we wake up from a bad dream, to kill the "huge" spiders that crawl on the wall, and to make us feel giddy every time we see him. But the thing that we want the most is for him to love us for who we are. We want him to tell us how much he loves us everyday. We want him to hold our hand everywhere we go, so people know that we are his. And last but not least we want him to kiss us goodnight every single night for the rest of our lives, because after he does all of this then, we will be certain that we are loved.

I Doubt You'll Ever Read This

Dearest Josh,
 Every girl in this whole world is smitten by you, crazy right. I can't even imagine having a life like that. I mean I bet you can't even walk out of your house without being recognized. No more being normal. Most girls like you for your dashing good looks, or for your fame, but there are a few of us out there who like you for you (I may or may not be one of them) That might sound weird because most of us you have actually never met and that means that we only "know" you because we stalk you on the internet but... You sound like a great guy. Have a great life.
 Sincerely,
 Kelley
P.S I should gain a better vocabulary. Two greats in a row, seriously?

The Miracle

My Gram shared me this this like two minutes ago and I really liked it. I thought it was a good Easter, but it could also be sung at anytime in the year. I might just sing it sometime soon.

Awkward and Awesome Thursday

So its been, oh  let me count, three weeks  since I started this "tradition". I haven't been all to great at keeping it but I've got my excuses. Utah and Portland. So starting today I am going to try to be better.

Awkward
- Walking in on a couple who is totally making-out. Um please go else where, you might think it's cute but I find it highly disgusting
- Being in love with the same boy as the rest of the girls on this planet. Josh, why do you have to be so darn handsome?
- Star Trek.
- Walking into Target belting out Kenny Chesney, not knowing the words to the song you are singing ( I was making up my own), and running into someone you know. Thank goodness that person knows me well, but still extremely awkward.
- Spell check. It is making me figure out how to spell every word that I don't know. Someone help me.
- The wind. My clothes just like to blow off of me, what can I say. I promise I do try to keep them on.
- Wanting to play with a dog ( that doesn't happen very often), but that dog doesn't want to play with you. So you tell the boy sitting next to you to call that dog over so you can pet her.
- The word pet, and wax too.
Awesome
- The amount of times me and Meagan have hung out this week.
-My hairdresser. She can work magic. My hair might be cute now. Just maybe
- Not having any homework this week. I am LOVING it.
-Maybe making an emergency trip to E'burg this week so I can gain my sanity
- Passing time by looking at Josh and only dreaming about going on just one date with him. Just one that's all I ask
- The letter I sent to Meagan. It had two frogs that I colored and sent her, because it was midnight and I might have been a little crazy, but mostly because I like to channel my inner three year old
- This song. And the rest of the album, and maybe her.

P.S I might just put some pictures up of my hair. Just be patient. They will come, sooner or later.

Distracted

First off remember these friends? Well the are officially a couple, how sweet right? It would have been if they didn't invite me to go on a date with them ( I am single and no fun). Thank goodness for Meagan, she saved  me . So for "their" date we went and saw The Hunger Games, again. Me and Meagan made fun of them the whole time, and we also discussed ways to hold  hands ( waffle or pancake, what do you prefer). It was great, and we were those obnoxious teenagers that were sitting behind you laughing at all the not funny parts. Next time you go on a date invite us, we make great company. (P.S brownie points to me for spelling obnoxious right the first time, and I still cried when Rue died and  jumped when the dogs came out). Don't say I spoiled that, if you were going to go see it you would have already gone.
Meagan ended up spending the night and we had a ton of fun and ate nasty pancakes. We were watching The Voice and neither of us remember any of it. We talked the whole time and didn't pay attention.
Then later the next day I went over to her house to watch a movie.We ate pizza ( we as in two boys, three girls and Meagan's parents, who by the way are super awesome). We then watched a movie. Don't ask me what it was about because I have no idea; and  I was paying attention for the last half. Lets just say I was a little distracted by the boy sitting next to me and the dog sitting on both of our laps. Then Katie came and we talked and it was grand and I showed her my blog. So Katie if you are reading this only tell Meagan and keep it a secret from everyone else. Please?
Today could not have gotten any better.
I got to babysit Max and Christian so that made it 10 times better.
