Kelsey's Seven Things!

Following along with the family! This is slightly modified... :)

Seven Things I Can Do:

Laugh~ Laughing until I pee my pants is the best thing ever. It's a little embarassing but it's the true sign that your having fun! I've often gone to sleep-overs with extra bottoms. I've learned to laugh at everything. It takes away the pain.

Sing~ I'm getting better and I love it! I'm trying out for Timberline's elite choir in march!

Play Basketball~ It's been a challenging year but I think I'm really loving it!

Fix Things~ I was always dad's handy girl. The other girls got to clean inside... I was outside with dad. I now know every one of his tools and there uses.

Watch Movies~ Over and over again! Now that I can put any movie on my iPod I watch one before I go to bed. I stay up way too late. It'll be great on the plane to alabama!

Go with the Flow/Adapt~ I've learned this year that you have to just ride the waves as they come. You have to take your situation and just learn to live with it. I'm trying to apply that to more of my life.

Change a Lightbulb without a Ladder~ At 6'3"... Duh!


Seven Things I CAN NOT Do:

Change a Lightbulb without a Ladder~ We now have 9 foot ceilings... I am no longer needed in my family!

Live without my Cell~ The rents used to give me a hard time but Mom texts me more than a lot of my friends. I LOVE it!

Keep my Room CLEAN!~ Candi, if I succeed in the new house it will be with you in mind! I try but it never seems to work out. :(

Wake Up~ Mom and Dad still wake me up. I just hate getting up. Sleep feels so good!

Hold New Babies~ They scare me! I don't know why but I just get nervous!!

Do Homework~ It just doesn't seem funn! Ugh! Who wants to do that????

Stay Away from the New House~ I go there everyday even if I know things haven't changed. Starting Friday I'll never sleep anywhere else!

Seven Things I say the Most:

Really? Really?~ When someone does something I just struggle with.

Seriously~ When people are bugging me... MOM!

Awkward~ If you say that at an awkward moment it makes it 20 times more awkward. I always say it. :)

I have a story~ When I want to say something that happened that day. Usually to my family!

Movie Line~ It can be interjected into any sentence, sometimes I keep going, sometimes a stop to see if people pick up on the line I just said. 10 points if you say it first.

Can I Pray?~ Dad... your getting a little long. I haven't been on time to 1st period all semester.

Ben, No, That Hurts~ Sisters... you can relate. Tammy hopefully you can't. :)

Seven Goals for the New Year:

Move in~ It's been 7 months... I'm so ready!

Get better at Basketball~ I'm ready for senior year! DOMINATION!

Write in my Journal~ I think I need a journal first.

Keep My New Room Clean~ For everyone's sanity.

Earn Money~ I hear you need that for college!

Clean Up My Mouth~ I agree with Natalie... Pretty girls don't say dirty words!

Make This Blog More Than Just My House Update~ But it is exciting and the family needs to know!!!!

Seven (8) Reasons I Love my Family:

Mom~ You do more for our family than I ever knew before. Your a strong, spiritual, amazing, and beautiful woman!!!

Dad~ You hold the Priesthood. Our family has needed your strong spirit and you've never come up short.

Ben~ Wow... we're a lot closer now. I've loved being closer to you. We've had some great times and I know your always there for me... no matter what!

Candi~ I miss you! I can't believe I haven't seen your house. I'm so excited. :) I miss your high school days. O the good ol' days! TCBY and sleeping in your bed!

Aimee~ I miss you! I've enjoyed learning more about your life from these blogs. I can't wait to see you! I think about you all the time! I love you so much!!!!

Natalie~ Geez... sounds like I'm missing my whole family now! It sure has been lonely these past few years. I don't like it! Between the black eyes and cat fight we have some great times! Bathroom pics and movies... the best!

Lars~ Your the only one that could ever be for Candi! I know we believe that more than ever. You an amazing guy and I'm proud to call you my brother. You make me laugh like no other! That's Rich!

Tammy~ I'm so happy we've gotten so close! Most of the time people think we're sisters and that Ben's the "in-law". You've done amazing things for my family! You will never know how much we love you!

Ready To Move... FINALLY!!!!

Looks like moving day is right around the corner! Once again I have a video and you can see aside from some minor touch- ups... we're all ready! I don't think I've ever been this excited! I've already planned a party for my friends and the church has asked us to host a youth fireside at the new place. We're thrilled. I was just talking with mom about how we don't remember anything of the last night we spent in that home. All we remember is the hour before...

I can't believe we're going HOME!!!!!!
