I am leaving on a Sunday-

It is warm outside.

Beautifully warm. 

It makes me anxious for summer

and  working in the sunshine.

yep. . .

I am so ready for school to be over-

only four weeks left.

I can do this.

Hello Spring-Life, Letters, and Sunshine.

Dearest Dill Pickle,

Remember that you have already been called. "And if ye have desires to serve, then ye are called to the work." Fear is not God, confidence and love are.

We are best friends. . . tighter than my suit pants four months into the mission.

Did you know that the last letter I got from you I looked up, said 'thank you', kissed the envelope and ran away to read it alone?

  Sincerely,

                                 Your Slurpee Sipping Friend.

Hello warm weather.

I am so happy that you have come early this year- I have missed you. I am especially glad that you have arrived just in time for me to begin my training. Yes, I know there are going to be a few more storms that come and go before you are here to settle in, but I think I can manage as long as you promise to come back quickly.

I want to also add that I love the life that you bring into the world. The earth is waking up from hibernation, birds are greeting the sun each morning with song and people have become unhidden from within the walls of their homes.

Welcome Spring-time. I think you are wonderful and I hope you have a splendid few months. . . But remember that summer is on his way, and if though I care for you a lot Spring, Summer and I, well we are in love.

Thanks for everything,

Kelsie Dawn

Spring Break in a nutshell.

(from left to right)

1. tried on cheer uniforms from freshman year of high school - I still fit!
2. visited the middle
3. over looked Logan
4. went off road'n in the 'Rango
5. ME (I think I am kinda funny sometimes)
6. abandoned treasures
7. new shoes
8. roads lined with eery trees
9. 3rd Hunger Games (!!!)
10. adventures with Pot-Pot and Critter
11. over 14 hours of driving
12. coming back to a lovely temple land
13. diet dr. pepper. . . need I say more
14. reminiscing by the river
15. playin' with the new bangs

Spring Break at home was loads of fun and relaxing.

I came back to Logan and went adventuring to Burely, ID with two of my roommates and a neighbor- more to come from that epic experience.

Maybe yes. Maybe not.

Day #1- Spring Break:

I may have lied on the sidewalk in the front yard to edit pictures.

I may have turned on some summer tunes.

I may have fallen asleep.

I may have drooled some.

And my friend Chevia may have woken me up confused of what I was doing.

These things MIGHT have happened. . . maybe. . .

But if they did I am sure I would have enjoyed every moment

. . . .even the drooling part.

the end.

Oh, and one day I want to dance like this.

It is amazing.

I may have a slight addiction to America's Dance Crew.

APRIL 11th!

(perma smile!)

Once upon a time I met a guy.

His name is Eric.

He lives in J3

He has crazy curly hair.

And he always makes me happy.

He was my FHE Papa.

We are friends-

sometimes we are "secret-lovers"

 Eric isn't ticklish,

but other than that

we are a lot a like.

It is true.

On April first we got ENGAGED!

and then un-engaged!  

IT WAS APRIL FOOLS- silly!

I made Eric play with me.

Actually- I didn't even ask if he wanted to play- oops!
He was also fooled.

I hacked onto his FB account. . .
well not really- he left it signed in on his computer- his fault!

I posted our Relationship Status on Facebook as "ENGAGED"

and within 2 MINUTES I got a phone call

from my mother-

I guess the EXTENDED family had already found the news.

They were expecting an explanation.

I laughed all the while Mom cussed me

She made me call my Grandma RueLeen before word got to her.
That would have been bad mojo!
I called her!  I love calling her
O and to make matters so much better,

Grandma LOVES April Fools!
She was the Foolin' Queen back-in-the-day!

And as expected she giggled all the while I told her of my foolin' ideas.

I will share some of her tricks from her day eventually! 

She was a master!

Word gets around fast in my small town

especially due to Facebook.

I found this ring picture on Google,

posted it as my Facebook picture and got so many complements.

Dear lady of the ring: Everyone thinks it is "Gorgeous!" 

O and that your man is a "keeper" according to the diamond size! (thumps up!)  

P.S. Thanks for letting me use a picture of your hand and ring-

It greatly added to the whole effect of things!

To all of those who left me kind words of Congratulations 

Thank You

I got a great kick out of each FB comment, text message and phone call!

To all that were so gullible to believe me

You made my entire day!

Merry Fooling Day of April! (:

Spring Fever?

Sunday afternoon it was 54 degrees

Yes, it was a whoppin' 54 degrees in February

IN LOGAN none the less.

It felt like summer.

I pulled out my cut-off shorts

threw on a t-shirt

and the J3 boys joined us for a picnic on the lawn!

SPLENDID!

(I was sick with Spring Fever!)

Not even a week later we have snow

not just a skiff either

I am talking SIX INCHES (at least)

The warmth was good while it lasted.

my tulips keep me happy.

Jordan + cooking = lots of food = happy Kelsie

Next week is going to be crazy

I hope it goes by fast

I am going home next weekend!

I need to go support my LADY WOLVES

particularly my SHAY!

Besides I am her TRUE #1 fan!
