Catching Up!

So I've been super busy if you can't tell! I'm busy with trying to get everything in order for me to graduate with High Honors and the Advanced Honors Diploma. I'm so close to getting it! I just need to keep my GPA up and finish these online classes. It's a lot of pressure, not to mention everything else I'm dealing with.

I have a horrible english teacher who won't do her job. I currently have an F in that class. Maybe if she could do her job and grade papers then maybe I wouldn't have that F that I currently hold. It has become my life goal to get that up, along with my C in government. I'm also trying to get more involved to put it on my college applications. I worry constantly about that.

What else am I dealing with you might ask? Well for one thing I'm frustrated with a lot of things. If my mom reads this we'll probably have a long talk, but I really don't care - this has to come out somehow and I really don't know who to talk to. I feel like I have no one. People say I can talk to them but they're busy, and most are far away busy with college. I know I can talk to Jen too - but she's also not only dealing with a lot, but probably tired of my problems.

I understand that the reason my parents got me a car is to help out. I also understand that my parents are busy with a lot of other things. They don't worry a lot about me because I can take care of myself, but I'm tired of always coming last! Finding a car for me isn't a priority and I understand that it isn't always about me, but I only ask that one thing. I've saved up and saved up for a car, and I know that I'll have to pay my parents back what they cover me, but finding a car for me has moved from the kinda top to the very bottom. We don't have the money - which I understand. But trying to sell stuff to get Cord a tramp? Why has that gone up?! He's 5, I'm leaving this year. Why has he shifted up? Because he's younger and I'm always pushed down. I can never have a moment with my mom because she's either busy with Bri, Cord, or Mason. Not even two minutes without being interupted. I understand that she thinks I'm the oldest and can take care of myself, but sometimes I just need her. Having her constantly bugging me about my school work just makes me mad - I have everything under control. I also don't need her on my back about mutual and temple trips and things. Sometimes I just need her to be there for me, to listen to me - just me and that's it. But that isn't possible, and I understand but that doesn't make things any easier. Maybe this has helped me sort things out, or even just get it out. Every person is dealing with things right?

Well that's my sob story for today, but I promise next time I'll post it'll be happy :) but until next time peace!

Until the Future,
Chelsea Marie :)

Realization

So today my mom, siblings, and I traveled to my hometown. The place that I always refer to as home - St. George!

Well as I sit and ponder under these amazing stars (if you have the ability to see stars every night be grateful! Don't take it for granted! I envy you!) my mind goes to Kelly. He's already meeting people - girls. He actually had this foam party tonight and went with the girls (two) that he met and with their group. He was telling me how it was good he went with them because they helped him loosen up. I'm SO glad he's having fun and that he's happy! I can't stress that enough. But...I just can't torture myself. I just sit here and think about all the beautiful women he'll meet and how me might be attracted to one of them. I need to let him be free and to be able to do whatever he wants - even though I'm not holding him back. But I also need to let him go for me so I don't feel like this. I miss him so much, and when I see a picture my heart skips a beat. I really like this guy....like A LOT...possibly...yeah. But I don't want to...but I need to. Slowly stop talking to him as much. Keep in touch via e-mail, once a week. So that way we stay friends and we stay close and get even closer, but I'm not killing myself. But I also think that doing that will kill me. So no matter what, people (me) get hurt. What way would be the best way? This is what I'm finding myself ask myself. I can't tell if he feels the same way I do, I can't tell if he likes me as much as I like him, I can't tell if he'd rather just be left alone or if he'd rather talk everyday like we do. Maybe when I see him next I can ask him, I can talk to him. I don't think this is a conversation to be had via text though....I don't know. Maybe sleep will help my head sort through everything. I'm going to leave this and just see what happens. What do you guys think?

Well I am tired so I'm heading off to bed! Goodnight!

With Bewilderment,
Chelsea Marie :)

I like this song and I hope you enjoy it too!

More Goodbyes

So....Vegas is empty....Well it sure feels that way. Yes, college has started for everyone. Everyone is basically gone (with a few exceptions) and let me say, Vegas has never felt so empty to me than it does now.  All of my really good friends are gone to college (with a few exceptions). I'm trying to figure out what I'm going to do without Lauren Moxley!! She was always there to help me solve things and push me to do things I was too scared to do. She's my shopping buddy!! They're at college, and they're all going to have so much fun! I'm glad for them, but I'm seriously am going to miss them so much!! I hope we all stay in touch, instead of saying we will but instead we don't. I hate when that happens! I've lost so many friends due to that!

Do you guys remember how Kelly was back in town while figuring things out? Well he was. From Monday until yesterday. Snow College said they would accept him! So he left - for good - last night. I saw him before he left for a little bit. He's going to have so much fun at college though! And when I saw him, he looked the best he has! He said he feels like he's back on track - because he's been off track for the longest time. I'm so happy for him! I miss him though. We're going to do what he decided, but it's easier said than done. I don't want to not text him. I want to talk to him all the time, I want to know what's going on. But I need to let him date other girls - hot college girls :( and I need to date other guys if I want to get over him. My dad keeps saying "You just need to get over him" and I HATE when he says that. I hate how my family is like "weren't you not supposed to see him?" and they judge. They don't know what it's like to be me. They don't know whats all going on. You can't just say "just get over him". I'm sorry, but that's not how it goes. I haven't felt a connection like this since....well really since Faith. I can talk to him so easily! He doesn't judge, he understands, he listens. I know he's there for me for everything. I just feel so close to him, even though we've only been really friends for the past month or so. Even if their is no future for us, I can see us being friends for life. I hope I can help him with life, because he's helped me so much. I feel like I know everything, and nothing about him. We're going to get closer as time goes, and know almost everything about each other. That's what I want!

We were talking about him leaving and he was like "you know if you ever need anything my family will help you out". We just kept talking and he was saying how his mom could help me with anything if I ever needed it. He gave his mom my number because I guess she goes to movies alone all the time. For anyone who knows me (or who has read this blog), they know I LOVE movies! So I'll have a movie partner. I mean I go with my friends, but usually no one has money to go. I always just make money when I wanna go because I love movies. It's understandable to those who don't have money for a simple movie, but I love it. So I guess she'll call me if she want's to see a movie. I think at first it would be weird but then after a few times it'll be okay! And it always helps to have the mother on your side hahaha but I'm not using her!! I wouldn't want anyone to get that idea.

Today Jen and I had half a Harry Potter movie marathon! She came over around 2:30 and she had to be home at 10:30. We watched the first three movies and we'll finish the rest later! We had so much fun doing everything! We watched, ate yummy food, talked, spoke in British accents, and we even called Kelly. He'll think I'm crazy, but I hope the voicemail will make him smile and brighten up his day. We were hilarious and fun. :) I love that girl so much!!!

During our movie marathon Sister Hadley (our seminary teacher) called. She asked if we would be in charge of scripture mastery. It'll be fun to be in charge and we get to work together!! I'm so super excited! :) If you guys have any suggestions on how to make scripture mastery fun please comment! :)


With Magic,
Chelsea Marie

This is so true. It made me cry when I was missing everyone.

These guys are my new favorite! I love their music! I've been listening to the one album they have out and man I really like all the music on it! I would suggest if you like this song to listen to all their songs!

Heaven Bar's

So on this lovely Monday I did some spanish and then I decided to make some of these yummy bar's that I've been wanting to make. I saw them on pintrest and they have everything I love - brownies, Reese's, and cookie dough. They're called Reese's Cookie's but I made my own name (two actually) :

Reese's Cookie Brownie Bar's
                  -and-
       Heaven On Earth Bar's

So here's what you do:

Ingredients:
Raw Cookie Dough
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups
Brownie Mix


Step One:
 You flatten cookie dough on the pan. The recipe says to squish 1.5 squares of break-apart refridgerated cookie dough but I just got some regular cookie dough and put whatever in.

Step Two:

You put Reese's face down on the cookie dough. This is really easy and deliciously hard to try not to eat the Reese's Peanut Butter Cup's :) 

Step Three:
Fill up the mixed brownie mix on top of them. Make sure you do everything to the brownie mix except make it!

Step Four:

Cook at 350 degrees for 18 minutes. Enjoy the delicious yummyness! :)\

Here's the Pinterest link:

They were really yummy! Other than that I just watched TV. I feel like my day was unproductive, but productive at the same time. 

Kelly's back in town while he figures everything out, but he doesn't want to see each other. Just pretend like he's not here so we don't take a step back. I see the smartness of this and the rationality, but that doesn't change the fact that I hate it. I mean we started whatever this was, ignoring rationality and so why not ignore it again? But he's being smart and I shouldn't challenge it so I'm not going to. It just sucks. This whole situation sucks. How did I get pulled into this? Stupid Heart. I hate it. It sucks. GGGRRRR...Okay. I'm going to be okay with this. I'm not going to be pathetic. I'm going to push aside these feelings. I'm going to focus on school and my senior year.  This is my plan. Like it?

Well I'm off to do some more nothingingness

With Listness,

Chelsea Maire :) 

I heard this song on a tv show and fell in love, especially with the guitar! 

I Hate Goodbye's

So yesterday Kelly left...so here's what we did his last two days:

On Thursday, after work Kelly and I hung out. We went to Lake Las Vegas and just walked around and hung out there. Then we went to iHop and had some pancakes! Our waitress was really nice! :) We then went to the park and just layed on the grass and talked. I got home around midnight.

On Friday we woke up at 4 am and headed down to Mount Charleston. It was a really quite ride there because we were both dead tired. Kelly probably only got like 20 minutes of sleep. When we finally got there, we headed to his cabin. It turned out that his aunt was staying there with her kids. So we walked around in the freezing cold until we couldn't take it. We went inside and his aunt woke up by the sound of him unlocking the door! THE LARKINS ARE REALLY LIGHT SLEEPERS!! We hung out with his aunt and cousins and went on a hike. It felt really nice at Mount Charleston!! His family was awesome. He taught me chess, we played chinese checkers (I was 3rd! :D), and he allowed his cousin to paint his nails, do his hair, and put him in a "dress" (a blanket wrapped around him). Around 12:15 we headed back to Vegas and went to lunch at the Macaroni Grill. Our waiter - who looked liked Neil Patrick Harris - was so nice! We had some fun, and he was just awesome! :) We think he was gay because he was like super nice to Kelly but after he saw us kiss he wasn't as nice. He wasn't mean, but he wasn't AS nice. But I really liked him, he was awesome :) Then we headed back to his mom's appartment and started to finish the movie was had started watching last time. Well his mom came in and walked in on us kissing...I swear we have the worst luck with parents catching us kissing!! My dad has even seen us! The only person who hasn't is my mom...it's bound to happen sometime. Then I went to go feed Jen's dog and we started watching The Kings Speech. It was a REALLY good movie!

The Kings Speech was so well directed! I loved the quality of the picture and I loved his style of the movie picture. I loved how he didn't put the actors in the middle of the shot. The actors were PERFECT for their characters! The movie was absolutely amazing, and I suggest seeing it. The PG-13 version.

During the movie Kelly took a little nap because he would have to drive all night up to Utah. After the movie we got to talking and just hung out. We literally spent 20 hours together...It was some of the best 20 hours of my life...

On Thursday and Friday Kelly did open up a little to me. It was awesome! I felt closer to him during those moments. He let me in his mind of a little bit and I felt so privileged to be allowed into his mind. It was awesome! When he fell asleep he was holding me and when he falls asleep his body clenches up. He was holding me so tight, but I was so comfortable and didn't want to ever move.

During the entire day I was trying not to think...at all. I didn't want to think about him moving, and all the friends who are moving in this next week. I'm really going to miss him!! He kept saying that he really liked me and he was going to miss me. I really like him...and I really miss him already. Not talking so much and just being friendly is going to be hard. He is such an amazing guy! We knew this was coming, but I didn't think it was going to be so hard...But he's gone now. So what can I do? Just sit here and deal with it.

Today I went school shopping. When I woke up all I really wanted to do was sit and watch tv or movies. I wanted to stay in my pj's and lounge around. But my mom wanted to go shopping. It was nice! I got some really cute clothes, and I LOOOOVEE my new heels!!! I can't wait to wear them! It was a good way to get my mind off of things. Now I'm going to go hang up everything that I bought and put stuff away and then lounge around and then sleep.

Have I ever mentioned I hate goodbye's? This week is going to be a really hard week with most of my friends moving away for college...It's going to be a rough one.

With a Heavy Heart,
Chelsea Maire

Here's a song that describes how I felt when the time kept creeping up til Kelly left. The next post will be happier I promise!

Pondering...

So last night Kelly picked me up from work. My dad had driven me (so I could take the good meds) but wouldn't be able to take me home. When he picked me up we were trying to decide what to do. We stopped at In-N-Out to get a shake (he got a burger also) and then we headed to go see The Bourne Legacy

I hadn't watched the Bourne trilolgy for a while, so I had completely forgetten like...everything haha so through most of it I was lost. It was okay, and the action was good. I didn't like how people were dieing though - I would've much rathered Batman's way of doing things :P .

Before the movie, when we were walking into the theater, Kelly decided he would spill water all over me. We traded shirts during the movie - man he is muscular! The movie theater was PACKED (probably because it was $6 Tuesday) and so I saw a lot of people I knew there. I had also forgetten that Jake (yes the ex) had invited everyone to go see a movie to fill up the theater. So naturally I saw him, his family, and his friends. I talked to his family, and even him. It wasn't weird at all! It was just like we were friends. His mom even hugged me, and we caught up. His family is so nice, and I'm glad it wasn't awkward at all! I do realize now, though, that I was completely rude to Kelly. I turned my back and talked to Jake's mom, and I should've introduced them! I was completely rude and will have to appologize when I see him next! That was really rude of me...

They didn't see the same movie though, they saw The Campaign  (which is R). It's R probably because of dirty comedy, which I think would be awkward seeing with your parents...just a thought. It looks funny, but it's R...oh well!

Kelly was kinda aggitated yesterday, and I felt like I was making everything worse. I should've just gone home and let him be with himself...? I hate how helpless I am! I wish I could do something to make him feel better, to make his problems go away, to make him happy! I feel so helpless and I HATE it! I really care about him, and it's so annoying that I can't help him. I know he needs to go through this by himself and whatever but I really just HATE how I can't help him.... :( I wish I could...maybe if he just got it out and not kept it all bottled up inside he'd feel better? But I know the feeling of not wanting to talk about it. I did like how he opened up to me a few nights back. I just wish I could help him...but what I can do is try to make him happy and not make things worse for him.

After the movie it was almost 10 :( but thankfully (THANKS MOMMY!) I got a 30 minute extension on my curfew. Personally, I think having a 10 o' clock curfew on the weekdays during the summer is stupid. I really hate how all my friends can stay out til 1 or 2 in the morning and I have to go home at 10....I just wish I could stay out til 12. I mean it's summer!! When school starts up I'll understand 10 but IT'S SUMMER!!! The summer before my senior year too! The summer that all my friends are moving away! I'm almost 18 also! It's just the most frustrating thing in the world when you have to spend all day working (which I don't want to be doing by the way! I would love to have TODAY to be my last day of work!!!) and then I have like a few hours with Kelly and then after this week we wont have anytime. A couple extra hours would be AWESOME. It's just the most frustrating thing in the world. But what am I gonna do? Nothing. Because I don't want the time to be moved up and I dont' want to get in trouble (even though I'll probably get in trouble by what I'm saying right now...)

On another note, I shouldn't have driven to work today. I was so tired this morning and in so much pain! My back was like KILLING me this morning and so was my jaw! I was going to ride with my dad, but I wanted some extra time to sleep. But let me tell you, I was not the best driver on the road this morning. I wasn't like...dangerous to myself and other people, but sometimes it was hard to stay straight...I'm worried about driving home...I guess we'll see what happens! I wont get in a crash. I think I'll be fine because I'll be more awake. I'll let you guys know.


Oh by the way.....MY LAST DAY IS TOMORROW!!!!!! But that means Kelly leaves in two days :'( BUT MY LAST DAY IS TOMORROW!

With Contemplation,

Chelsea Maire :)

I saw this preview and I really wanna see this movie! I can only see that one guy as Shaggy in Scooby-Doo though.

Another Update

So a lot has happened since I last posted on here.

Thursday after work I hung out with Kelly, and I wanted to do something active. We have a badmittion set and so we wanted to play that BUT we couldn't find it :( So we ended up at the Rec Center (which I had never been to) and played some games. We played pool, ping pong, and foosball (is that how you spell it?). We had a lot of fun just mesing around :)

Friday Morning I got my wisdom teeth out...THAT was fun :P My sister and I both got ours out on the same day so we were both loopy. My mom said it was a funny car ride! I remember most of what happened while I was drugged, but it feels like an out of body experience. I waved to some guys, with a druggie smile and I talked to my dad on the phone. I don't remember what was said, but I remember talking to him. Kelly is so amazing, do you know why? Well he stayed with me all day Friday and watched movie after movie wtih me! He kept me distracted from the pain :) He honestly doesn't know how grateful I am that he was there because I would've been completely miserable without him! Jen also stopped by with ice cream and pudding! :) <3 amazing="amazing" and="and" because="because" both="both" cheeks="cheeks" each="each" girl="girl" hah="hah" holding="holding" hurt="hurt" i="i" it="it" laugh="laugh" love="love" made="made" make="make" more="more" other="other" our="our" p="p" s="s" she="she" that="that" us="us" we="we" were="were">
Waiting....                               After...Bri and I heh
        

Waiting for my mom to help me inside (she helped Bri inside first and we didn't want me to pass out so my mom wanted to be there to help me inside)

This is how swollen I was!
 

Bri and I the next day...don't we look lovely? :P Kelly must've LOOVED seeing me like this...oh gosh..just thinking about it now makes me wonder why he still likes me :P but hey that's a REALLY good thing! haha :)


On Saturday Kelly came over after lunch and we watched a few movies, then we went to see Total Recall

It was HORRIBLE! The acting was okay, but it should've been rated R. There was one scene where a girl with three breats flashed the guy and we actually saw the breats! Then it was just constant action! There was no break inbetween each action scene. After a while it got kinda boring and it felt more like a video game. I did not like this movie, nor do I recommend seeing it! Did you hear me? DO. NOT. GO. SEE. THIS. MOVIE!

We were gonna go to his cabin up by Mt. Charleston but they're blasting the mountain so we can't get through :( I so wanted to see the stars! So we went to the movie! We had some time before it started so we walked around the District and saw a few people there! We saw Katrina, which we both know, while she was working and we also ran into her after the movie. Kelly is really awkward when I see people I know or we both know. He just get's quite and reserved...I wonder why? After the movie we got some pizza (I ATE SOME SOLID FOOD!! YESS!!) and then ended back at his place. We were just relaxing and I think I fell asleep for a little bit.

I wanted to go to church on Sunday, just sacrament, but I fell asleep and my mom thought it would be best if I just stayed home and rest. I was in my bed for most of the entire day. It was actually kind of nice!

On Monday, I was going to go to work, but when I woke up I felt like I was going to puke so I called in sick. I took a three hour nap - which felt AMAZING! - and then watched some TV. Around two or three Kelly picked me up to hang out. We first stopped by Home Depot to get some stuff for this experiment he's doing (idk what it is) and we spent a few hours there finding stuffs, asking people where things are, looking for things, and waiting for assistance. We finally left and started on his project. He had forgotten like a few things that were kinda major to the project so we just went back to his place. We were trying to dcide what to do and decided to go to Panera Bread to get food and then headed back to his place. We just cuddled and talked until I had to go home. It was really nice talking to him, because he opened up to me a little bit. I really loved that he opened up, and it made me feel special! I will hold what he told me dear to my heart, and never let a soul see! We had a really good talk :)

While we were hanging out, I did notice something on my leg. It looked like a spot, but it wasn't a spot. I also have scratches on my legs, but idk how they got there. It's very weird....and fishy...we'll see what happens with that.

 

With Pain,

Chelsea Maire :)

Did you guys know that Taylor Swift came out with a new single?

Her new album - Red - is ocming out October 22 :)



Catching Up

Well I haven't posted in a few days, so I'll catch you guys up.

Mostly what I've been doing is going to work, and then hanging out with Kelly. On Monday, right after work I dropped off the wig back at Lauren G.'s house, dropped off some guitar stuff to another girls house, then went over to Kelly's. We got dinner at Claim Jumpers, made cookies, and put on Jane Eyre - we watched like 5 minutes and talked and kissed and played through the rest haha it was fun!

On Tuesday, I went to work, went home, went to young womens where we made ice cream sculptures. I was in a group with Paige and Lohi! We made a school bus for sweedish fish! We were gonna do an elephant but then decided on a bus. It was quite fun!! We were the smallest group, only consisting of three people while everyone had four and up. I really liked our bus!

           

Then I went over to Kelly's, we swam for a little bit, then hung out. We made cinamin rolls and lasagna! YUM! I then went home (at 11, which I hate. I wish I could stay out as late as my friends, seeing as I'm always the one who has to leave first :(  ) and headed off to bed.

It's kind of funny when Kelly comes up at work, because one of the girls calls him My Marshmellow hahaha his name in my phone is My Dark Knight (he loves batman hah) but I might change it to My Marshmellow hahahah it's a long story why she calls him that.
Here are those pictures I promsed you from my last post!

        
    

                                                     

I'm also really tired of driving to and from work! It's just so far away!! I wish that they would find my raplacement this week, so that way I can have time to see everyone who is leaving and do my spanish! My dad mentioned to my supervisor that I would be okay if they found a replacement early, so I really hope they do! I just want some summer time!! My summer is just gone in a flash! My last day might be on Wednesday, which will be nice! Cus then Kelly and I could go on a hike that we've been meaning to go on, and then he leaves Friday. I kind of want to go hike the narrows again. Do it like I did it before - start at the bottom and go up until you feel like turning around). Maybe I could find someone to go with me? I forgot what shoes I wore on the hike though...if I go, I'll probably wear the shoes I wear in the morning...I think that's how they got all sandy in the first place! haha

Jen got her wisdom teeth out this morning, so I went home and made her some chicken noodle soup (without the chunky stuffs) and got her some ice cream (chocolate) and some flowers to make her feel happy! :) I get mine out tomorrow...that'll be fun! haha :P

Today, I hung out with Lauren which was fun! We went shopping and got to catch up!! :) I'll miss that girl when she leaves! :( I can't wait to visit her though!! That will be fun!! :) I thought I had to go home, but then I talked to my mom and had some time left until my curfew! So I went over and watched Despicable Me with Kelly and we actually paid attention! ahah it was fun :)

I'm doing good with my Spanish! I'm almost done with the first semester of Spanish One! I have to have the entire year done by school starts, but I can do it!! :) I also have to read my required summer reading (1984 by George Orwell). I started it at work, and it reminds me of The Hunger Games and Matched  (by Allie Condie). I'm interested to see how this book will develop! Everyone say's it's really good, so here it goes! I'll let you know what I think when I'm done with it! hah


With Pondering,

The Best Grandma

So, I was really bored at work today! So out of boredness I went through some old e-mails. Well I found one from my Sophmore year.

In my english class, we had to interview someone and then type and turn the questionaire with answers in (one of the best english classes ever! Oh Ms. Dearmas!). Well I had decided to interview my grandma, but because she lived a few hours away. So I e-mailed her questions and she answered them. I read through it and my heart ache's to see my family in St. George.

She was talking about college and her marrage and family. I'm in the stage of applying to colleges and such. But as she was talking about her marriage with my grandpa, I realized that I really want something like what she has. I mean, they still hold hands in public and stuff. You can really tell that their love is still alive! That's so hard to find these days, with half of the marriages failing. They've been married for 41 years (September 3, 1971)! And they're still going on strong! I yearn for that! My parents are high school sweathearts ( going on 19, or 20, years of marriage), I don't know if I want that, but I do want to never get divorced. My grandma was saying all the things she loves about my grandpa, and I want to tell my grandkids about my husband like she did.

Have I mentioned that I have the best grandma in the world?? She's like...THE BEST!! She taught me in 2nd grade! I remember one day I had called her grandma in class (because I had to call her Mrs. Alldridge) and it was soo embaressing! She is an amazing sewer/quilter! While we were living in MA, she sent over a quilt for my bed! I love that quilt so much! I don't use it anymore, but I still think about it! I remembered the quilt smelt like her (she smells wonderful!) and I kept it in it's package until I had smelt all the smell out of it. I really missed her then! I haven't seen her in so long, such a crying shame becuse she's only two hours away. My grandma also loves to read! She got me into storytelling! One thing I loved about storytelling was that grandma loved it! We had shared that love, and it brought us closer. I'm also her oldest grandchild :)

I'll be the first grandchild to go to high school (check!), college (almost there!), get married, had kids (first great grandchildren!) :) I'm so excited to be her firsts! I'm so excited for my children to get to know my grandma the way I have! She's just an amazing example! I love my grandma so much!!

I have been fortunate enough to know all my grandparents, and three great grandparents (all on my mom's side)! I honestly feel sorry for those who never got to know their grandparents, because I grew up living close to my grandma. My childhood was always filled with a loving grandma who I saw almost every Sunday! She is the best grandma anyone could ask for!

This is what I decided to post about today, because of finding that e-interview. She is such an amazing woman! I will fight anyone to the death who challenges my "Greatest Grandma Ever!" title for MY grandma! :)

With Adoration,
Chelsea Maire :)

In my grandma's time, you were either a Beach Boy's fan (goodie good) or a Beetles fan (rebel). She eventually became a Beetles fan, but was a goodie good! :) She also liked Andy Williams. I sure don't know the best Andy Williams song, but here's one! In 8th grade we sang this song in chior.

P.S. Today I saw Mr. Bossman smile for the first time! :)

Dreamland

So Saturday was amazing! I felt like it was all a dream!

I woke up around 7 and got dressed. I walked out to the front room, and everyone was dressed and had already eaten! So while I was eating the kids did their chores. After we watched a few movies, and then painted. We painted until lunch time, then I made the kids some sandwiches. Bri then came and I left to go hang out with Kelly. We hung out for 7 hours. When I got there we went to a sports store and then the park to play basketball, which I never play :P We had fun, but then got hot and thirsty. The water fountain over at the park didn't work, so we went to Smiths and got some drinks. We were then thinking about what to do, and ended back at his place. We popped in some cordon bleu pasta in the oven and started watching Princess Bride :D I love that movie! It is the BEST! <3 :=":" :p=":p" a="a" again="again" all="all" almost="almost" alone="alone" always="always" and="and" as="as" ask="ask" at="at" ate="ate" back="back" barefooted.="barefooted." batter.="batter." beat="beat" being="being" between="between" both="both" boy="boy" bride.="bride." brownies="brownies" but="but" buy="buy" by="by" can="can" close="close" couch="couch" day="day" did="did" didn="didn" does="does" dog="dog" dogs="dogs" eachother="eachother" eggs="eggs" ended="ended" extra="extra" facebook.="facebook." feet="feet" felt="felt" finished="finished" for="for" french="french" front="front" fun="fun" gave="gave" get="get" girl="girl" go="go" going="going" gonna="gonna" haha="haha" happened="happened" have="have" he="he" her="her" here="here" herself="herself" him="him" his="his" hump="hump" hung="hung" i="i" in="in" is="is" it="it" jealous="jealous" just="just" kelly.="kelly." kelly="kelly" kissin="kissin" kitty="kitty" laying="laying" legs.="legs." legs="legs" ll="ll" lucie="lucie" make="make" me="me" mom="mom" multiple="multiple" mustache="mustache" my="my" name="name" neighbors.="neighbors." of="of" off="off" on="on" one="one" or="or" other="other" out="out" p="p" painted="painted" pictures="pictures" post="post" princess="princess" pushed="pushed" put="put" refused="refused" remember="remember" rest="rest" s="s" said="said" send="send" she="she" shoes="shoes" should="should" so="so" some="some" store="store" suffocating="suffocating" t="t" talkin="talkin" tall="tall" tennis="tennis" that="that" the="the" them.="them." them="them" then="then" they="they" think="think" third="third" though="though" time="time" times="times" to="to" too="too" took="took" tried="tried" trying="trying" two="two" up="up" us="us" violated="violated" wanna="wanna" wanted="wanted" was="was" wasn="wasn" we="we" weird="weird" were="were" when="when" while="while" whiskers="whiskers" who="who" with="with">
I then went back to nanny for the rest of the night and the next day.

Today, I had to walk the kids over to the church for church. My lessons were awesome! :) One thing that seems to be on everyone's mind right now is Marriage! In young womens we were talking about group dating and marriage! I've heard so much about marriage these past few weeks! Is it just coincidence, or does it mean anything? Most of my friends are going off to college so in the next few years I'll be getting wedding invitations! I'm not going to read too much into this though, because even though I'm almost 18 (the age my mother happened to get married), I'm still in high school. Marriage is still a ways down the road.

tonight, after I had returned home I realized that I had left my sunglasses at Kelly's, and went over to get them. After I had returned home, he texted me saying he enjoyed my company :D It's a win win, because I love his company too! :) (I was gonna say "with every passing day" to be poetic but decided this fit better) I like him more and more everytime I see him. He surprises me all the time as I get to know him! He just keeps getting to good to be true. I feel like I'll wake up at any moment and he'll be gone in an instant. Saturday was just a dream! I feel like I'm in a Nicholas Sparks romance novel! I mean I can really talk to him, he listens and I'll listen to him. He's gentle and kind and sweet. He doesn't mind me being weird or silly, and he's silly. He can make me laugh so easily and when I'm with him, I'm just so purely happy. Nothing can bring me down while I'm with him. There's also an after effect where I'm just happy afterwards! Man...I'm already in this deeper than I want, huh? Well...I'm screwed :P I also love that he wants to do things. That he's active and doesn't care about spending money to do something fun! He's not the kind of guy who always see's movies on dates, but actually does fun things! I love that! He's also a great kisser ;)

Well this post is sufficiently about Kelly :P I really hope he doesn't read my blog, because I don't want him to think I'm obsessed or anything. I don't wanna freak him out....maybe I should stop posting about him so much? I mean this is kinda a public blog...but like...most of the things to blog about, he's involved! I promise I'll try not to post so much about Kelly other than what we do to hang out. I'm just trying to figure out what to do, and how to stop myself from liking him. I don't want him to think that I'm obsessive like his Ex (who by the way, wrote him a letter saying how she'll always love him and she hopes that they can have what they had before. He left me read it. I don't worry about him, I just don't like how she still loves him and "always will"). I'm NOT! I just...like him! hahah Okay...well I'm done rambling.

With Questioning,
Chelsea Maire :)

I was gonna put up the video about Charity but then realized that I had already posted it. So here's another Mormon Message for your Sunday!

P.S. for the weird paragraph (that wont work!) just look at the comment I made. It's just being stupid and dumb, and nothing will fix it.

One Word: Perfect :)

Last night was...well...amazing is understating how awesome last night was! :) So I went to the airport wearing a hot pink wig, courtesy of Miss Lauren Grondel (thank you so much!!), a turquoise shirt he hadn't seen, shorts, a lei, and a hat. I was gonna wear my cowboy hat, then I could hide my face, go up to him and say "Howdy, where can a cowgirl find a handsome fella like yourself?" BUT the hat wouldn't fit! So I wore my white hat and went. I was really nervous going because I had doubts and didn't want him to think I was too weird. When I saw him, my heart skipped a beat. He saw me, and I could see the question in his eyes. Am I me, or someone else? As I approached him he realized it was, and just smiled. I don't think he thinks I'm tooo weird, which is good. I am weird! But so we went back to the car, wrestled over who was paying for parking (I won :) ) and then headed back. We drove around for a little bit, trying to find a place to eat. Everything closes before 9:30! The city that never sleeps? EVERYTHING WAS CLOSED! He was hungry and wanted to go to a restaurant and sit down and eat. We really couldn't find anything and so we just went to Smiths, got some sandwiches and ice cream :) and then headed back to his mom's apartment.

Sorry about the poor quality!

Now his mom has two big dogs, and I seriously felt so small standing next to them. They were really tall and when one of them jumped up on Kelly, she was as tall as me! We ate, they begged, and then we didn't know what to do. So we just ended up watching some Friends! :) I love that show so much! I wasn't really paying attention though, I had already seen that episode. We were just cuddling and talking and hanging out and kissing :) I saw that it was almost curfew and realized I should probably leave. I told Kelly that, but we ended up just kissing for ten minutes then finally getting up off the couch and I headed home with a goodnight kiss :) (I did get home a little late! But it was soo worth it! :D) Everything was just perfect! :) We just had fun :) I can't wait to see him on Saturday! :)

I went home with a smile on my face, and that smile has stayed ever since :) I am just purely happy, the happiest I've been in a long time! Nothing could bring me down from cloud nine right now! He always continues to surprise me about how spiritual he is :) We never run out of talking points (except when he's really hungry and spacey! haha). I just love being around him! He is also very comfy, even though he's bony :) I like that though. He is SUCH a tease and a flirt, but I like it! Why? I don't know! I'm afraid that I'm going to fall for him though. I really like him! But he's moving in a month, so what am I to do? I can't fall for him! That is NOT an option! He's moving, and if I do then I'll be left here, missing him like crazy (which I'll already do, but it wont be as bad as if I fell for him). I can't. I won't. I hope...

When I got home, my dad told me why everyone was gossiping yesterday. I guess one girl had walked out at work. I was out, getting lunch, when this happened. I guess she posted stuff on Facebook about how the attorneys are lazy and how she does all the work? Well someone is friends with her and saw what she posted. You know, Facebook has seriously caused a lot of problems in teenagers lives, and a lot of drama. I didn't think that carried over into adult world! What the heck! I don't know exactly what she said though. But I didn't care, I was happy last night :)

Work was crazy, and busy! The first hour, I was like falling asleep. But then I got busy! My feet are now killing me!!! They hurt so much! I would seriously give someone my paycheck for a massage right now! I did get 30 minutes of over time which was nice! They needed the mail to go out today, so I took it to the post office and then headed home. I love overtime! Especially since I missed last Friday and I will miss next Friday because I'm getting my wisdom teeth taken out.

I'm nannying this weekend for a couple in my ward. This entitles sleeping over at their house. Tomorrow there will be a time where Bri babysits for a little bit so I can hang out with Kelly :) They're coming back Sunday night so I'll be here until then! :) I have my own bathroom! :))

I'm so excited to see Kelly tomorrow! :)

With Pleasure
Chelsea Marie :)

This dance is...amazing!! <3 i="i" love="love" mia="mia" michaels="michaels" nbsp="nbsp" p="p">

Smile :)

So last night was a complete Skype night!For about an hour or so I talked with Barbara! :) I miss her so much! She is such an amazing girl, and Vegas won't be the same without her! We caught up on everything, I gotta see her lovely face! :) We also decided that were gonna have a big skype session with the guitar girls! :) Next was Lauren! Before I could catch her up on anything that happened with Kelly, she left for girls camp then Lake Powell. She had just gotten back last night when I had talked to her. I love that girl! I don't know what I'll do without her when she leaves!!! But we talked, and she listened to me go on and on about Kelly. She is such a good friend!! Any guy would be lucky to have her attention!!! He better worship the ground she walks on ;) It must get tireing and annoying to hear me talk about Kelly all the time, but she's a saint and listens anyways :) She did have fun at camp, which was good because it was her last year of camp!! That lasted for about an hour. Next, and last, skype date was with Kelly himself! :) We talked for HOURS!! It was awesome to talk to him and see his face! I can't wait to see him!! But we talked about a lot and had a lot of fun. I didn't get to bed until like super late because we were talking so late and it was too late to take my sleeping pill. It was so worth it though! I do not regret being tired, even though I'm not as dead as I thought I would be! I'm actually okay hah just a little tired! It was an awesome night! :) I went to bed with a smile on my face!! We got to talk about a lot and got to know eachother better, but we'll get to know eachother even better in person! I can't wait! :)

Today was another day filled with gossip at work. I, being the receptionsit, sit at the front of the office, so I hear everything that goes on. People think they're being quite, when really the sound carry's. So everyone was gossiping about this one girl that left the office early. She's going to be on leave in a few weeks (she's prego and about ready to pop). It kind of annoys me how everyone gossips, beccause they are older. Isn't all this gossiping and girl backstabbing supossed to stop after high school? I'm learning that it'll probably never stop, which just stinks! I'm so tired of all that! If you have a problem, just tell the other person and talk it out. It's not that hard, and life would be so much easier for everyone!!

There are a few things I'm gonna miss when I leave, like the new Amy. She's really nice, fun, and I like talking to her! I'll miss Kathy (a little) because she can be funny and cool. I'll miss Tracee because she's awesome. I'll miss Krystal because she's...Krystal haha I'll just miss her. I'll miss old Amy because she's nice and jokes about being prego. I'll miss BK because they're nice and give me things to do. I won't miss being bored out of my mind though, I will miss the pay (but I'll get really good pay as a nanny that I'll do during the school year). Working here can be fun at times, so I'll miss those fun times!

Well during work, Kelly was trying to get his flight in order, and well...guess who saved the day? ME! He couldn't find anything for what he wanted (under $200 for tonight or tomorrow) and I found like a bunch of flights for $195. So I emailed them to him, he got his ride in order, and then bought the ticket! His flight comes in at 9:25, and I'll be ready! Costume and all :) I'll post pictures tomorrow and explain tomorrow! :) I'm so excited to see him!! I hope my dad will let me use his car, because I want to focus on trying not to get lost instead of trying not to break down. His car is also a nice car, that I can plug my iPod into the stereo (my plug thing died on me), and it works just fine! I hope I can use it! He's going on a bike ride at 7:30 for two hours, and he doesn't think his bike will fit in my car (I think it will, he just doesn't want to drive it :P) but we'll see before I leave work. All I can think about right now is the fact that Kelly will be back soon, in person! :) EEP!

I realize that I talk about him...a lot. I appologize for that. When school starts up, my posts will all probably be about school and everything that I have to deal with for Senior Year. Just hang in there for a few weeks. I just feel like I'm in a Nicholas Sparks novel! I will tell my kids about this one day, and it'll be awesome! :) I just love how I feel right now, and I'm enjoying it! :) I'll deal with everything after he leave, but right now all I am is happy. Nothing will ruin that! :) SO EXCITED!!


With Delight,
Chelsea Maire :)

This song is playing in my head! I love Mat Kearney and I just got the ablum this song is on! There are a lot of cute songs on the ablum, so you'll probably be getting a lot of his songs soon! :)

Crazy People

So it was incredibly hard to wake up this morning. Do you wanna know why? Well I will tell you why! I went to see.....THE DARK KNIGHT RISES last night!!! (I didn't get home until like 11, but it was SOOOO worth it!)

It was SUCH a good movie! I loved it!! The music score was amazing! I really got into the movie, I was on the edge of my seat for the last hour (I also had to pee so bad for that hour, but there was no way I was going to leave and miss anything!). You were really rooting for Batman in multiples scenes. I got really into it! It also had a few twists at the end of the film! If you haven't seen it, GO SEE IT! If you don't have anyone to go with you, I will! I would LOVE to see it again!! One of the greatest movies! Christopher Nolan did an amazing job. Anne Hathaway also did an amazing job as Cat Woman! All the acting was great, the scenes were awesome!! My heart goes out to the families and people involved in the Colorado shooting! You'll be remembered in my prayers.

As a result of the colorado shooting, people are questioning weather more security should be put up to keep people safe. They're wondering if more security, like metal detectors and bag checks, should be put into place at the theater. This is what I personally think: No. No one wants to feel like they're going to the airport when they head to the movies. I think the theaters will actually loose a lot of money if they do this. No one wants to go through all that (especially if they're a candy sneaker).I wouldn't like to go to the movies very often, and I would only go if it was a movie I was REALLY excited for. Going to the movies is supossed to be a fun experience, not a chore to go through security. But what people aren't thinking about is that James Holmes didn't come in with the guns, he got in and then went out the exit (in the theater, the one that has the green light above the door, know what I'm talking about?) and came back in with them. So maybe instead of doing metal detecters and bag checks, they should make it so you can't re-enter through that exit. Just a thought...

Well after I had finally went to bed, I woke up late this morning. I was just so tired, but it was tootally worth it seeing Batman!! So I left for work like normal, got on the 215 East then the 95 North. Well it had rained the night before, and it started to rain again. The roads were wet and slippery. I actually got kind of nervous while driving, because at one point I really couldn't see very far ahead. I thought about getting off and taking just normal roads, but dismissed the thought because I wouldn't know how to get to work that way. So I'm going around the corner by Eastern, and it is backed up!! I was actually 10 minutes late to work (when I'm usually 5-8 minutes early). Then I came up around Las Vegas Blvd. and then I saw the reason for the back up. There was a MAJOR accident on the 95 South (after I passed the 15 I saw that the 95 South was stopped). Here is what I read in an article from Fox 5 News:

"LAS VEGAS (FOX5) -

Five semi-trucks were involved in a cluster of accidents on U.S. 95 between Las Vegas Boulevard and Eastern Avenue, according to Nevada Highway Patrol.

NHP reported the first accident about 2:47 a.m. Wednesday.

One semi-truck crashed into the center divider barrier in the northbound lanes and leaked about 50 gallons of fuel. The crash caused multiple collisions on the southbound lanes involving at least three other semis, troopers said.

A total of nine vehicles were involved in the accidents.

NHP reported two to three people were transported to a local hospital with serious injuries"

- http://www.fox5vegas.com/story/19165813/multiple-semi-trucks-involved-in-us-95-wreck  

I saw the cars, and most of them were just crushed like they were aluminum foil! Here is a link to some pictures: http://www.ktnv.com/multimedia/photos/Multiple-vehicle-accident-on-US-95-on-Aug-1-164573016.html 

ABC 13 Action News says: "The southbound lanes of U.S. 95 beween Las Vegas Boulevard and Eastern Avenue are expected to be closed through mid-morning because of the crash involving multiple vehicles."

- http://www.ktnv.com/news/local/164559076.html  

When I saw it I was sure that someone had died. Especially this one car that the roof was completely collapsed. It is just so sad! Maybe if that semi had slowed down, or just been more careful this could've been avoided! My prayers go out to those involved and I hope everyone is all right!

Isn't that a lovely way to start your morning? I still love the rain though, it's not the rain's fault that people aren't careful! I hope everyone is safe on the roads today!

When I did get to work, I had an amazing bagle from Smiths that one lady brought (blueberry, and it was delicious!) and then I gave my two (+) weeks notice. I officially have two weeks and 3 days of work left! I also have two weeks and three days left with Kelly. He's supossed to get in tomorrow or Friday. We have plans to hang out Saturday, and I'll be nannying this weekend other than that (thanks to my sister who will cover for me while I hang out with Kelly:) ). I'll spend the nights over at the house and babysit the kids until they get back. This will be fun, and all the money will go towards the iPad that I want!

Now that I've given my two weeks, I kind of want to watch Two Weeks Notice (Sandra Bullock is in it). Maybe I'll do that!

I now have my guitar lesson and then a skype date with Miss Barbara! :D I'm so excited! :) I miss her so much! I haven't seen or talked to her since she moved back to Mexico. She's really an amazing girl :)

With Enthusiasm,
Chelsea Maire :)

If you haven't seen these, you NEED to! They're hilarious! :)

 

Work

So I love the money that I make, but I hate the job. My dad is always like "it's easy and you make a lot of money", but I don't necessarily like the easy way out of things! He always wonders why I don't take easy A's at school, but I like working for my grade instead of wasting my time in a boring class. I know I shouldn't be complaining about work, but I am. I'm greatful for my job, don't get me wrong! I just wish it was like part-time or something. Whenever I get home I'm too tired to do anything half the time, and the other half of the time there is no time to do what I wanna do. I enjoy doing this than sitting at home being bored, but I wanna go out and do things with my friends and enjoy the summer! But most of my friends are super busy so I would be just sitting at home, fighting with my brothers and sisters. But I would love to have more time to spend with Kelly, or any other friends that are leaving for college soon. But oh well. Don't get me wrong, I'm VERY greatful for my job and the money I'm making, but this is just a moment of complaining I've allowed myself to have. It's probably annoying to those who don't have a job and who sit at home doing nothing, who want a job.

(this picture was from a gas station we visted on out trip. Funny right?)

I would've loved to dance in the rain this morning, but I had to work :( and I usually miss the best weather, stuck inside with artifical light instead of enjoying the outdoors.

I'm thinking about giving my two weeks this Friday. So that way my last day will be the 17th of August. Then I'll have one week of summer, and then school will start on the 28th. What stinks is Kelly is moving on the 17th, so I'll be working while he is here, then right after he moves I'll be free! So stupid...I also found out that Kelly will not be flying in until Thursday or Friday so my awesome plan will have to wait! I hope he gets a flight where I can pick him up from the airport (because that's my awesome plan, and without that it'll fail!) We'll just have to see, but ya'll will have to wait with me to find out what my plan is, because it's secret and he cannot find out! But we'll have about two weeks together then he'll be gone :( I feel myself getting attached, and getting more involved. I have to stop where I am. Where I am is perfect, the point where I like him and nothing more. I CANNOT like him more than I do, or I will be in trouble! CANNOT!!!

He found out his sister is having a baby, and then we started talking about marrage. I think he'll be married in 5 years MAX (I don't think he'll be single that long, I mean he IS amazing! hah girls will sweep him up in a second!). It's all so close now! I mean last year when I thought about it, it seemed so far away! But now it seems so close at hand! My mom was married when she was 18, and I have 74 more day's until I'm 18. I don't know when I'll be married, but everything is happening so fast! I mean, senior year took FOREVER to get here! But I know it'll be gone in a flash and then I'll be at college! HOW WEIRD IS THIS!! I have friends gonig to college right now, and they'll be married soon! THIS IS ALL WEIRD AND HAPPENING SO FAST!! Where does the time go?!?


But today hasn't been the worst! I had some of the most amazing pancakes I've ever had this morning! We (my mom, sister, and I) went to Blueberry Hill Family Resturant/Pancake House after my 7am dentist appointment. I got four Oreo Pancakes, and man were they yummy!

With Wishfulness,
Chelsea Marie :)

I've always said that I want to marry my best friend, and this song just kind of reminds me of that want :)

This is also another cute song that Blake Shelton wrote for his wife! SO CUTE! :)

First Day Back

My first day back after the long weekend-I hate it. I didn't really wanna go back to work, but I have to. I really want a car because mine is crap! (People always put notes on my car saying they'll buy if we wanna sell and I'm like "I'M USING IT! IT'S MINE!" ... just a little possessive :P) and my parents don't have the money to buy me a new one, but I'd rather buy my own so I can take it to college with me! It would be awesome to have a car, and the schools that I really wanna go to allow freshman to have cars. I really don't like work though! I'd rather school over work! But I got up anyways. I couldn't go on my walk/run this morning because I had to curl my hair for my senior yearbook pictures after work (well...I didn't wanna wake up any earlier). I fell asleep at like 9:30 last night, but I woke up so tired! It was because most of my sleep for that night was make-up for all the sleep I missed on our trip.

No one in my family is a normal sleeper! I shared a bed with the worst sleeper we have-Brianna. She is very mobile in her sleep and was kicking me off the bed, she speeks gibberish in her sleep, she snores, and she grinds her teeth! It's so bad, that my jaw just hurts from listening/thinking about it! Her brain knows exactly when I turn over too, because whenever I would turn to face her, her head would move to me and she'd just start her snoring and grinding in my ear! So the last night, I couldn't sleep at all! So at 3 am my dad (who was still up) moved Cord in my mom's room (she was snoring pretty loud-2nd worst snorer in the family) because she was out, and Cord moves (2nd worst mover in the family). We all thought Mason was a pretty normal sleeper, but that's because Cord sleeps in his room and is never asleep after Mason falls asleep. Well it turns out Mason speaks (like actual words) and snores!! I probably only got like 2 hours of sleep that night. So I'm catching up, and I'm gonna be pretty tired until one night I can just go to bed really early, and sleep in really late.

At work, I kept messing things up and forgetting things. It was awful! I also had a HUGE stack of files from Bankruptcy that was left over from Friday. There were 26 files and it took me about 2 hours to make envelopes, labels, and to copy everything. I folded and stuffed 70 envelopes in 50 minutes, and posted them in about 35 minutes. That was most of my morning, and some of the afternoon.

After work, I headed off to Senior Yearbook Photos, which was quick and painful.

I'm just excited that today is almost over! Kelly is coming back (ADD DAY COMING BACK HERE)!! I'll pick him up from the airport (which will be fun because I have a plan, I'll post about it after!) I can't wait to spend some time with him! He's moving sooo soon :( but at least we have a few weeks to have fun! But not to get attached to eachother, hopefully...but I'm excited! :)

With Tiredness,

This song has been stuck in my head, and the music video is cute! Enjoy

Cali Trip Day 3: Horses and Home

The night before, we had to have everything packed up because we would leave to ride horses and go straight to Vegas afterwards. We woke up, and finished packing and left for horse riding. My dad went on a bike ride while we rode horses. We got an hour of walking, while Cord and my mom did the petting zoo, and Cord even got to ride a cute little pony! I'm so glad we did the horses because I can now cross that off my summer list. We could only walk because of liability reasons, so I really wanna go like ride (trotting and running) a horse, but at least I got something! :) My horse, Dakota, was very fiesty! He kicked the horse that was behind him twice because he got too close. My sisters horse, Chico, was very slow! Nothing we did could make him go faster! My little brother had a good horse, the only girl in the group. There was another guy, who had a very sweet horse. My butt is BRUISED! It hurts from the horses, but it was so worth it :)

We then headed back to Vegas to end this wonderful weekend! It was a blast! I had a lot of fun! :) One trip I'll never forget! :)

With Satisfaction,

Cali Trip Day 2: Big Bear Lake

We are staying in this cute cabin up in the mountains of California, in a little town called Big Bear. It also happen to boarder Big Bear Lake. In the morning we woke up and when to the alpline slide that was there. I had been on an alpline slide before in Park City, so I was interested on how this slide would be. At first, I just wanted to stay home because it just sounded lamed, but when we got there I found out it wasn't that bad.

After that, we went back to our cute little cabin, and ate lunch while watching the Olympics. When everyone had eaten and changed into their swimsuits, we headed down to Big Bear Lake. There was a place where you could rent jet skies or a boat. So we decided jet skies would be much more fun that just a boat. So we got two three-seater jet skies for an hour. It was so much fun!! We split up, the boys and my mom on one, the rest of us on the other. We soon found out that the two oldest childern and the father were too heavy for the jet ski. So two at a time went. First it was my sister and my dad, then it was my dad and I. When we went we would catch some air! The lake water was also freezing, and when it would hit my face it felt like a bunch of knives were stabbing me! I was also all over the place on the ski, holding on for dear life to my dad. Then my sister took me out, and I took her out. We actually did pretty good, even catching some air! :)

Cord is too cute

When our hour was up, we headed back to the cabin, and stopped by an actual pastery bakery on our way home! It was good! My mom, dad, and sister went shopping while I stayed home with the boy's, chilling. I even got some skype time with Kelly :) After they got home from shopping, we headed out to lunch at this burger joint. It was cute, and they had some good hot dogs! We put 6 straws into Cord's cup and we tried to drink out of it! It was really hard to do! Harder than you would think! When Cord would do it, he would almost choke. It was quite fun. We then headed back to the cabin and had ice cream, smores, and played games, but not before our pool tournament! I'm not very good at pool, so I didn't make it to the finals :( My dad got super competitive.
