Future Me

Dear Future Me,

Well, we did it.

Here I am at college and about to start classes in a week.

At this very second, I'm sooo grateful for many things in my life.

-bright room

-K&B helping me get down here

-parentals helping with literally everything

-my sisters

-ice cream

-disney channel (for the laughs)

-this free time to reflect & ponder

-music

-memories & relationships

Also, I keep seeing this photo everywhere. 

And I relate.

My Bucket is Full

Inspired by a dear friend.

I've always loved the idea of having a bucket list.

Something that is attainable and believable. 

On August 2, 2010... KayKay and I made our BL's.

And this is/was mine:

-Go to all the LDS temples in the world

-Get kissed in the rain

-Marry my soulmate for eternity

-Meet the Pope

-Swim with dolphins

-See a duckbill platypus

-Get a puppy as a present (with a big red bow)

-Adopt children.

-Ride a giraffe

-Raise a chicken egg

-Catch a fish with my bare hands

-Donate my blood (DID it! Nov 2010)

-Have a child be named after me

-Ride on a train

-See the white house in Washington D.C.

-Touch a corpse

Isn't it interesting the things that are important to us at certain times in our lives?! I love thinking about it.

What kind of things are on your bucket list?!

Silence leads to Prayer

Someone super amazing posted this photo above.

I have been thinking of it over and over and over again.

"If this isn't your castle,

you're not my prince..."

I love this photo.

Because

#1) I don't think who I was in High School is who I truly am. 

(BiG shocker right?)

#2) I love color, but I love simplicity and darker shades.

I LoVE to be happy/joyful and friendly.

BUT. 

I love to be quiet and still and .. quiet.

Mother Teresa once said: Silence leads to prayer.

I need prayer.

PRAY FOR ME.

Cause this isn't what I thought.

AT ALL.

In Natick

Hi,
I'm Kelsey and I live in Natick, Mass
Every time I wake up, I think I'm on vacation.
Or on a bad vacation.
I never really thought through about how BORING and LONELY living on your own is.
My desire is to go to college. Have sweet, awesome roommates and just party
But I guess I've done to much of that already.
So I live in Natick.
Cute little town, full of cute people.
I wish I could show you pictures but since I'm on the library computer.. I can't.
I don't know when I'll get the chance to blog again, but just know one thing.
Everything and anything in my life that has gone right or even wrong,
is because God wanted me there.
I am where I am supposed to be.
Even if I'm misirable.
I'm thankful.

Advancing...

So much change.

differences.

revolutions and transformations.

1st off.

I'M MOVING TO BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS.

Or just west of it, in a little town called Natick.

I will be a Nanny Part-Time, and need to find another job out there!

I'm soooooo excited for this missionary/worldy/romantic experience!

I'm so oober blessed!

2nd thing on my mind.

BEST FRIEND GOING ON MISSION.

What do most people do when their best friend leaves them for two years?!

3rd thing.

MY ENTIRE WORLD IS CHANGING.

When Elder.Pants leaves,

Then goes Kay Kay to the far off unknown.

Then Netty to school!!

I don't know if I can handle all this.. CHANGE

But I'm trying.

Anything is possible as long as God's on your side.

An Invite for Bug Bites

 Idaho is beautiful.

Usually, when I think of Idaho, I think Napeloen Dynamite.

Dirt. Llamas and Pedro.

But 3 hours north of Idaho Falls, is the most beautiful scenery I have ever seen!

I didn't get to go inside, but I saw the Idaho Falls temple...

STUNNING!

Where we camped was very close to a small town called Hailey.

1/2 of it is owned by Bruce Willis!

Tons of famous people have cabins and summer homes up near that area!

One of them = Tom Hanks.

Below: Picture of a drive by shooting of his home:

It took 6 hours from Springville to get to where we were going.

So of course, I kept myself busy by doodling.

Here is an example of the doodles that I doodled:

When we got there, at the cabin.

I think a radar went out to all the bugs:

"Fresh Meat!!!"

(also known as... ME.)

You may think the below image is of my elbow.

NOPE. It's my very first bug bite/s

As most of you know, I am planning on being a Nanny this coming fall

(which I am VERY excited for!)

So throughout this entire week, I was with the children for most of the time.

My heart felt so... FULL.

Below are some photos of the precious angels.

(who weren't always precious!)

They were very ... cute.

One thing that I did with the older kids, was draw pictures on their fingers!

(genius right!!?)

They loved doing that! 

All in all,

Learning Experience.

But good, I just continued in reading my scriptures DAY & NIGHT 

I didn't want to chance anything :)

If you have never gone to Idaho.

Do it.

It's worth it.
