Vancouver in Three Pictures

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

this picture was blurry so here's the link.

Puma Sweats = Soccer Player, What?

When I wear my Puma sweats I feel like a soccer player. Speaking of soccer, does anyone know who won the U.S.A - Canada game today. U.S.A was up 1-0 until like the 57th minute and then Canada scored. It was an intense game. I wanted to finish it, but then my mother invited me to go to Costco with her. So I did.

Guys I still haven't packed for Utah yet. I don't want to.

HAHAHA

My children are going to be this cute.

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.

   

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.

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

-Kiss Me Slowly
-Something to Believe In
-All That I Am

P.S I wasn't very generous and I didn't link any of these. Sorry.

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.

Spring Break

It is finally hear. I have been waiting for this week since two weeks after school started. And how does spring break start? With RAIN!!! What better way is there to start the happiest week of my life. Well friends, happy week and happy General Conference watching.

P.S Wasn't The Hunger Games so amazing. And.... Isn't he so HANDSOME?
I know it's  not like me to crush on celebrities but he is the only exception. WOW way to quote Paramore. Unintentional I promise.

 



Who wouldn't think he is attractive, and props to him for not being afraid to take goofy pictures.

I'm Back!

These last two weeks have been crazy. First off I went to Wicked and absolutely loved every second of it. This week I went to Utah and visited my amazing sister. We may or may not have met so pretty famous people. I love Utah.
The first famous person we met was Elaine S. Dalton. The story behind this one is that we went  to Salt Lake to see Music and the Spoken Word and she was there and she invited all the young women to come and meet her. I got my picture with her and I got to hug her. It felt like the spirit that she had just leaped from her body into mine. It was such a neat experience.
The second famous person we met was John from Kid History.This is a great story. We were at Winco checking out and this huge group of kids got in line behind us, but they were two people behind us. I was  just blankly staring at this huge crowd of children. My sister leaned over to me and said " Kelley, don't stare." I was like alright whatever and so I started to walk and I ended up running into the guy checking out. See you have to know that my sister had seen Johns face and I had not. I turned around because my sister was laughing and then I saw him. I said "Oh my gosh" under my breath loud enough for my sister to hear and she was like "ya, I know." Let me just tell you now, he is a little more scruffier in real life. I wish that one of us would have quoted him or something but the only one who said anything was my mom and she asked him if she could come to his house to eat the candy they were buying, and he said it was for Conference. My sister was going to say " don't punch... our car" but she didn't.  That was the coolest experience that I have ever had in Utah.

I Find Him Quite Wonderful

His name is Steve Moakler. I don't know him, but if I did  I think we would get along quite nicely.  He is amazing. I do plan on meeting him someday. Hopefully someday soon.
Check him out.

                                                              Now wasn't that wonderful?

Who Knew?

I never thought this would happen to me. I think I am sick with oh what do they call it... WRITERS BLOCK! I have sat down to write everyday this week and nothing clever has come out. I am still trying, hopefully I come back soon. If I don't, I apologize in advance.

This sums up the last month almost completely. Kidding I just really love this song.

For You From Me

I love me some cute songs.

Tangled

Cute story really, and definitely cute man. Now don't tell me I can't have a crush on a cartoon, because I am pretty sure it's possible. 

 Just look at him.

I sure love me some smolder, how 'bout you?

Awkward moments

Buffness

Never fails to make me smile

He is attractive, isn't he?

Someday I will find my Flynn Ryder, he may appear in a crowd or maybe he will climb to the top of my tower, I use to think I knew but really I don't, so for now I will be patient.
