See Ya in Two

I said goodbye to my oldest brother today. He's headed to Brazil on a mission for our church. I will miss him a bunch, but I know that he is needed in Brazil. Brady you're going to be a great missionary. I love you bunches. See ya in two man.

This is the last picture before he went through security.

Summer Where Have You Gone

Dear Summer,

You left. Where did you go? I already miss you and we only said goodbye yesterday. 179 days till we meet again. Don't worry about me school will treat me well. It has so far anyway.
See you next year,
Kelley

Surprise!

Apparently I get to go on a last minute "vacation" to a land not so far away. I learned of this last minute resort on Sunday and haven't thought much of it until Wednesday night when I was given the topic for the talk I get to give on Sunday. Well, I have thought and thought about my topic ever since Wednesday night and I can't come up with anything good, so I'm a little, no a lot stressed out because this talk has to be a good one, my whole family's going to be there. No pressure right? I'm just speaking at my brothers farewell. Hopefully while I'm sleeping in a tent I get some great inspiration or something cause I'm sure going to need it. Wish me luck!

Love Like This

 I dream of falling love. I dream of the day I meet Mr. Right, and falling madly in love with him. I dream of the day he asks me to marry him and I say yes. I dream of the day we will get married forever. I dream of  late night walks and bike rides. I dream of him telling me he loves me. I dream of  him coming home from work and me being so excited to see him and him telling me how his day was. I dream of traveling the world with him and falling more in love with him everyday.  I dream of telling him silly stories from my childhood and him telling his. I dream of our first home we own together.  I dream of raising our children together, and watching them grow up. I dream of all the little things like the words he says, his smile, the way he smells, his quirks, the food he likes to eat, water fights while washing the dishes, cuddling with him, watching dumb movies, the way he'll play with my hair, him holding my hand where ever we go,long car rides with him, his family, writing stories about us, taking crazy pictures together, the way he'll gently kiss me, deep talks late at night, drawing pictures of our cute family, and of course making up silly songs together. I dream of growing old with him. I dream of a love like this.

So this song is really great and it was kind of the inspiration for this little post so if you're wondering where I got my inspiration, here it is.

Life's What You Make It

I'm not perfect. I make mistakes. Someday's I cry my eyes out, others I laugh until I think I'm going to die. I'm not friends with everyone, and honestly I don't want to be. I'm the girl who sits in the back of the classroom and writes stories and doodles on her homework.  I'm scared of being hurt and that's why it takes me so long to trust. My life has been full of ups and downs and I've learned it's okay to cry, let the tears roll down my face. I keep all my problems to myself when someday's I just need to let them go, and sometimes I do. I have my flaws, but they make me who I am.

I sure love me some Ferris Wheel.

I really wanted her ice cream.

I gave this man a dollar, but it really worries me that he is lacking armpit hair. And  yes I am wearing a Shark Week shirt.

Party Hard

Can I just tell you how amazing trains are? If I could afford to ride one whenever I go on little adventures I totally would, even if it means waking up at three in the morning and having 21 hour long days.
Tuesday was quite the adventure. I woke up an hour earlier than I had planned because I had my dad's phone in my room and at three in the morning it vibrated and it woke me up. I tried to fall asleep fpr an hour and when four o'clock rolled around I decided to be done trying and to just get up. Brady and I headed to the train station at about five and found out that my train had been delayed. Lets be honest, I was devastated. Brady drove me home and I watched the U.S womens basketball team play Canada. Around seven thirty we headed back over to the station and waited for my train to arrive, and it did. I hopped on and rode it all the way  to Vancouver. When my aunt showed up with my cousins they were holding a sign out the window that said my name, but when they saw me they just kept driving by. I seriously thought they were going to leave me. After lots of begging and pleading they finally let me come home with them. They asked if I would like to go to the fair and not knowing how tired I really was I agreed. When we were buying our tickets I told the ticket lady that I was a 63 year old lady trapped inside a teenagers body and that I would please liek the senoir discount. Long story short she didn't give it to me.My favorite stranger that I talked to was the vendor guy that really wanted me to play his game and thought that I had money in my shoe, so after telling him in four different languages that I had no money I took my shoe off and showed it to him. He just laughed. Lets say that I talked to everyone at the fair that talked to me, I figured that they get ignoured enough so why not try to brighten their day. We rode the rides for a while and then we went and looked at the exibites and went to a haunted house. This may or may not have been my very first one. I almost peed my pants before we even went inside. I was so scared, at this point I had been up for like eleven hours and was super tired. You could say that the haunted house was nice. After this we met up with the group of people thta we had ridden some of the rides with and watched the younger kids go on the kiddy rides. Then out of no where I decided that I wanted to go on the ride that takes like 60 seconds to go up but only like 3 to come back down, the one that goes really high and then plunges you to the ground. Its really scary and I have never liked it, but for some weird reason I really wanted to go on it. I convinced some of the younger girls to come with me. When we got about half way up I yelled I don't want to do this any more. At the bottom we got someone to videotape it for us, I freaked out. I made it out alive and I would go on it again any day as long as someone will go with me. W had many more adventures whikle we were there including tow boys who were cute make it really obvious that they were checking me out, a hypnotist, a mexican man who loved me, whale calling and sounding like a man while riding rides, and almost cussing up a storm because some of those rides that I rode scared me to death. After which we went home and went to bed. Tuesday was a twenty-one hour day.

In the cart right behind me ther was one of the boys who was checking me out. Everyone in the group kept touching me so I had to seperate myself from them.



This was us right before the haunted house, we were pretending to make scared faces but in reality I was scared out of my mind.

Wendesday was the day we planned Kobes' birthday party. She was clueless. We had her make her own birhtday cake, clean up the house and do most of the other things you do to prepare for a party. It was so hard to keep a secret from her. Kobe left and the guest showed up, then Kobe came home and we surprised her. We played capture the flag in the forest behind Kobe's house and of course my team won. We played lots of other games, some even required us to sit in the middle of the street and count to twenty in three different languages. It was a party. We watched Psych and I fell asleep and then went and took over my cousins bed. We had pizza and cookies for breakfast and then we watch Hercules. It's such a good movie.

So far this week has been a blast, but my cousins dont have the channel that the Olympics are on, so I have had withdrawls from them. I feel like I have no clue about what is happening in the world because I cant watch them. It makes me sad, but I guess I can give it up for my cousins.

Auto Correct Is Going To Drive Me Crazy

My bags are packed and my alarm is set for 4:25 in the morning. Tomorrow will be a day of firsts for me, I've never waken up before six and I have never ridden a train. I'm super excited.

Toady as I was packing I ended up reading my journal. Why I'm so funny at one in the morning I have no idea, but I am. I came upon the Monday after spring break was over and this is what I wrote

Dear Patrick ( that's my journals name),                                                           April 10, 2012

I could fall asleep right now, but I won't. When tyler (my younger brother) woke me up is morning at 6:25 I pulled my covers off and fell back asleep. He came in twenty minutes lated and said "Kelley I woke you up twenty minutes ago" I said " you lie, go away I want to sleep." As he walke out of my room he yelled " we have school"  I sat up and said " oh crap" much louder than I had planned. 

I didn't take any pills before I left for school, so I had the worst headache of my life, and I'm getting a cold (in the middle of April, didn't know that was possible). I told my mom  that I have a virus that is attacking my immune system an I am slowly dying. Seriously though I have been sick so many time this year, and I wash my hands all the time. 

I love nighttime cold medicine, is that bad? It works the best to put you to sleep when you think your going to die from being sick. I'll be out in lie five minutes won't that be great? I better sleep good tonight. I'm sure not a huge fan of waking up before at least nine. 

5 out of 6 of my teachers gave me lectures on getting senior- itus to early in your high school years. They told me not to get it. I just laughed to myself and thought " ha suckers I already have it, and you have to put up with me for the rest of the year." Sometimes I'm a brat. 

- Kelley

I laughed really hard as I read this. Most of the really funny things didn't make any sense so I just left them out. But really my all my teachers but Mr.Appel gave us 40 minute lectures on not getting senior- itus. I'm pretty sure the only reason why I didn't get that lecture from Mr. Appel is because I walked into his office and said " if you lecture me on senior- itus I'm leaving." he laughed and said " it was that bad?"  and it really was. I hate lectures so much, when fourth and fifth hour came around I almost left the room when the lectures started, but I didn't 

I wrote this all on my dads iPad and its is seriously like texting on an iPhone. Let's just say I really don't like auto correct and my fingers are cramping.

These Should Make You Laugh

Olympics, Music, and No Internet

Wellsies, it's only been forever. Unfortunately I lost internet service two weeks ago and haven't been able to get it back on my laptop so I have had to use the family computer, and the keyboard doesn't work. We're going to make this one short and sweet:
I'm alive and doing great. All I've been doing is watching the Olympics. They might just be the best thing ever. My family has been into swimming and gymnastics the most but my favorite event would have to be synchronized diving. 
Now here are my favorite songs as of late:

1. Shine a Light- Mcfly (I LOVE anything Mcfly sings)
2. One Voice- Wallin' Jennys
3. A Team- Ed Sheeren
4. I Can't Make You Love Me- Bonnie Raitt
5. Forever and Always (Piano Version)- Taylor Swift
6.  Right Here Waiting- Richard Marx (I can play this on the piano)
7. At the Beginning- Richard Marx and Donna Lewis
8. Beautiful Heartbreak- Hillary Weeks ( if you cry your eyes out while watching this its okay because I sure did.)
9.I Got This Friend- The Civil Wars
10.Hey Jude- Paul McCartney, he's amazing

Men's gymnastics is on, so I'm going to go watch.
