Just A Few Things...


Well, it seems that I have a hard time keeping this blog up to date with all of the happenings in my life! Here are just a few things that are going on at the moment:

  • My adorable niece Audrey Mae celebrated her first birthday on Sunday! I had this lovely picture of her on here and somehow I deleted it, but she looked oh-so cute in her pink dress! She is such a joy to everyone she meets and I love her very much!
  • I am really looking forward to fall! There is just something wonderful about walking outside in the crisp air, watching the leaves turn colors and fall to the ground, and lighting candles while you cuddle up in a big, comfy sweatshirt.
  • I spent this past weekend at home doing laundry...now that's what I call a good time! Actually, even though my parents weren't home, I got to visit my sister and her family (I successfully surprised her and it felt so good!). We watched Nadia (the best movie ever made) and went shopping. Aren't sister's the best?
  • My sister and her husband are in the Bahamas right now! Although I am secretly jealous, I am sooooo excited that they have the opportunity to get away and enjoy themselves before their next little one makes his/her arrival! By the way, the picture above is of my sister trying on her snorkeling gear before she left...it totally cracks me up (sorry the pic is sideways...I haven't figured out how to rotate it yet!).
  • I absolutely love the song "Sweet Home Alabama" by Lynard Skynard! I am listening to it right now as I type and it just stirs something up inside of me...maybe there's a Southern girl deep down inside of me!

SURVIVOR: COOK ISLANDS (Season 13)

Ok, are you all ready? Well, you should be because tonight is the season premiere of SURVIVOR: COOK ISLANDS! Hurray!!! For those of you who don't know or understand my passion for this show, I started watching it five years ago from the very beginning and have NEVER missed an episode since (and this season is season 13!). I have almost every season recorded on tape, and yes, I actually go back and watch them in my free time! I know, I am a crazy Survivor fanatic, but just love the show soooo much! If for some reason you are bored tonight at 8 PM, just turn your T.V. to CBS and I guarantee you will have a good time!

Happy Birthday Dad!


Today is a very special day because it is my Dad's birthday! Hurray! He turns 51 today, but he is still as young, fun, and energetic as ever! In fact, I think I he gets funnier and wierder with age, which makes me enjoy spending time with him even more! He is the best father a girl could ever ask for and I love him more than a million hugs or thousands of words could ever express.

Daddy~

You are my hero, my inspiration, my role model, and above all, my daddy. I am starting to cry just writing this because I am overwhelmed with how blessed I am to have you in my life. I just want you to know that you make me so proud and a day spent with you priceless. I will always be your little girl Dad and my heart is yours forever. I love you.

Kelsey

COUGAR FOOTBALL!


I cannot contain my joy, so I decided to share it with all of you...the Cougars defeated the University of Idaho with a final score of 56-10!!! For those of you who are slightly lost, I am talking about college football! I am a Cougar to the core and I bleed Crimson! So, as you can imagine, the first home game of the season is a pretty big deal! Not only did we win, but we annihilated our competition! The Cougs had an awesome game with over twenty first downs and more than 400 yards (I know what some of you are thinking: "When did Kelsey become somewhat knowledgeable about football?" Well, to answer your question, I have a few friends on the team and it kind of inspired me to educate myself!). Anywho, it was the perfect way to open the season and I am looking forward to many more games in Martin Stadium! I just realized that I have put nine exclamation marks in here so far! I guess it just goes to show you that I have genuine Cougar pride that cannot be suppressed!

GO COUGS!

EXHAUSTED!

I am sorry for my delay in updating my blog...school is beyond busy right now. I am too tired to post anything of substance at the moment (in fact I broke down in tears a few moments ago due to fatigue), but I just wanted to let ya'll know that I will create a new, interesting post sometime soon.
