I LOVE T.V.

So I have to give my thoughts on the Bachelorette, and Here come the Newlyweds because Dustin hates those shows and so he could care less what goes on....so I have to tell someone. Lets start with the Bachelorette: first off, I think Jillian is super cute and I really hope she is happy when all this is over, but from the previews, it does not look to promising. It looks like alot of drama and crap. I like the drama during the season, I guess, but not on the last episode when things are suppose to be happy. But I guess we will see. So lets break down the boys:

Wes: ohhh how I hate this guy now. I will be honest, I really liked him in the beginning and I was sad when they said he might have a girlfriend, but as time goes on, and especially since this last episode yesterday, he is scum. Okay, yes, he is a good singer, and I thought it was cute that he serenaded her but I want him to get kicked off soooo bad. I want Jill to see all the footage of him and see his real side and then punch him in the face. How dare he....especially because of the crap that happened last season....she just needs a good guy. When he does get kicked off....no one better buy his stuff because of how he got there. Poor guy has no heart or mother.

Jake: I have not really been a huge fan of Jake this whole season. I mean, he is fine, sweet, nice, gentleman like, whatever, but he just doesn't do it for me. He is also to mushy and lovey dovey. It is just this weird thing I get from him. I definitely think that he is sincere but just too delicate. I will be honest though, I was sad to see him leave yesterday simply because Wes is there. At least give the guy another week and chance and not Wes. Oh well.

Jesse: who the freak is Jesse? Whenever I hear his name I can never remember his face and I dont remember much of him with Jill so I just cant imagine them together. Lets just say he could get booted off and I would not care.

Michael: I really like this guy as I have said before. I was sooo shocked that she kept him. He is so funny and fun loving! He is kind of young but just so sweet and fun. I am worried he wont last long because they haven't gotten into deep topics but I hope that changes. I thought it was so sweet how he cried when Robby left. He just has that humor, sweet emotional side, while still being manly. P.S. I am not going to talk about Robby because I feel he falls in the Jesse category and he is also gone so it does not matter.

Kiptyn: I know that he is going to win. Jill never says anything bad about him but I dont think he is attractive at all. He is nice I guess, but he is what, 5'5, a buck 150? They have the most chemistry and I think he is going to win. I just dont see anything special in him. Just a normal joe blow.

Reid: now he has been one of my favorites with Michael for some time now until I saw him on his one one one date with Jill. He was sweet and nice but yes he was neurotic. And she said that they dont have alot in common and I dont think she should brush that aside. I unfortunately dont think the whole "opposites attract" thing will last long here. Even though I see them together and they are so cute.

Lastly, Tanner P.: why has he stayed on so long. I thought he would be one of the joke guys we get ride of in the first few episodes. This foot fetish thing is gross and I cant even imagine them kissing. He is too metro and awkward. I am grateful that he stayed for some time and was able to warn Jillian but that got her no where. Stupid Wes is still on. I just wish he would of actually thrown him under the bus.

So that is my synopsis. Some of you might be screaming at your screens right now thinking I am crazy but that is where I stand. I like Michael but I dont think he will win because he is "not serious enough" which is sad, and Reid wont last because he is too opposite. So there is no clear guy that I just love through and through but it will be fun to continue watching.

Here Comes the Newlyweds comes on right after the Bachelorette and so I naturally got sucked into it. I mainly just watch it because it cracks me up. I love the Asian couple because they were so funny so it was sad to see them get voted off last night. I also watch it because there is a Mormon couple on there and I really want them to win. I want them or the Newberry's. I dont really have strong opinions on this show....it is more so just for fun :)

This past week

Sorry everyone for not blogging this past week....I finally have things to do in my evenings now :) But this past week has been good. Last Thursday, the day I flew out, I took an exam that morning in the testing center (my last one! yay!) and got the grade I needed which was good. I then ran home, cleaned the house, finished packing, pawned all my food on others and got ready for flight. Blaine, Dustin's good friend, was kind enough to take me to the airport that day. Luckily I had prepared for the worst, because it all happened. I made sure to leave early in case of bad weather and traffic, and just my luck, both were present. Another reason I wanted to get to the airport early was because for the first time in my life I was not checking a bag and everything had to go though TSA. so I gave myself time for things to go wrong.

So I get my stuff in order, get to the cranky TSA people and they wanted to throw a bunch of my stuff away and I thought, "no thank you" so I ended up having to check my one and only bag. If I knew I was going to be checking bags then I would not of worked so dang hard to fill my life into that one carry-on. So by the time I checked my bag and got back to the TSA people I was not a happy camper. But I got on my flight and all was well. The second half of my flight went by alot quicker because the pregnant lady next to me chatted it up for the entire flight. It was nice.

Luckily, I was on the second row of the plane which meant that I got off the plane alot quicker. I got into Kansas City on time but had to wait forever to get my stupid checked bag. Seeing Dustin was very normal. He is alot skinner though. He has lost what seems like alot of weight. It took us a good 2 hours to get back into our normal groove again. So by the time we went to bed on Thursday it was 2 a.m. We were exhausted.

The week since then has been pretty uneventful. We both took the weekend off and played. We didn't go and do anything but it was just nice to spend time together. Then on Monday I started my Independent Study course which has gone by alot faster then I thought it would I am already half way done with 1 course and that only took me 2 full work days. Dustin is also enjoying his job. Dustin likes our financial situation more and more everyday after dealing with Bankruptcy all day every day.

I also actually am enjoying being in someone else's home. It is actually nice to know you are not responsible for your surroundings. I mean, there are some adjustments that I have needed to learn, but all in all it has been a pretty smooth transition. Plus, Dustin has build a temporary wall in the living room so now we have more of a private space. I will have to post pictures when I get my camera this weekend. This Thursday I fly back to Utah, Dustin comes back on Friday, I take 2 Independent Study midterms, Dustin goes to our local doctor, and then we drive out the next day with our car so that we both have a car here. It will be quite a nice convenience. Also, I can bring more things! I can bring my camera, temple clothes, pillows, etc. I am really excited to see the inside of the Nauvoo and Winter Quarters temples while we are here, especially since I just took church history this spring term.

But we are doing well. We are busy busy bee's. More so Dustin than me. I dont know how he made time to talk to me on webcam when I was in Utah. He always has something to do: work during the day, work for law school at night, apply for jobs, etc. I will try and blog more often since I know everyone has been dying to know about what the Kelley's are up to :)

Tooooo much to do

This post will be short. I woke up before my alarm which was weird, actually got ready for the day before 2 p.m., ran a few errands, cleaned the entire house and emptied the fridge, got little homework done, I am very stressed out, and have zero motivation to study. I am so frazzled about leaving tomorrow that I cant focus on my school work. I have so much to do and I feel like time is running out. I also have to fit everything into one carry-on!! Kill me now! So lets pray that my final goes well tomorrow, I can pack in time, fit everything into my suitcase, make it to the airport on time, and that the weather will miraculously get better and my plane wont get me in Kansas any later then 11:20 p.m. Ohhhh tomorrow will be a beast.

I love Monday nights

Today I had to set my alarm again because I had an appointment and I am starting to hate that stupid alarm. But I went to my appointment which went well, and then I came home and watched the clean flicks version of "Good Will Hunting." It was a pretty good movie. Then I got my homework together for my night class and then ran off to that class. Class was fine. It is my last on-campus BYU course EVER!! That was a memorable moment. Kind of sad. I dont like change.

I then ran home so I could talk to my baby nephew Hayden who is almost 10 months! ahhh! He is getting so big and he is so cute. Then I was able to say hello to my husband on webcam and boy do I miss him. It is actually getting alot harder the closer I get to being with him. I am more anxious and I really miss him. I just want the anticipation to be over. I just want to be there and get into the grove of things. Then, the thing that always helps distress me, is my tv shows. I watched the Bachelorette and my 2 favorite guys advanced so I am happy. Then I watched, "Here come the newlyweds" and the Mormon couple got immunity so that was also super exciting. Now I need to run to the grocery store, study like crazy, and go to bed. Is it wednesday yet?

The sun always comes out on Sunday's

Having my alarm set to wake up at a certain time was a little rough this morning. I tried going to bed at midnight but could not fall asleep until about one a.m. After a good night's rest, I woke up for church which is no longer at 8 a.m. Yay!!! We have now moved to 11 which I think is a good time. I think 10 would be perfect though. :) Also, we have sacrament first now which is really weird. Ever since I have been married I have had R.S. first, so when we had sacrament first I felt like I was back in McKinney in a family ward. Weird! It also brought back the family ward memories of church seeming like it was 2 hours too long. Dont worry, this is probably just a funk I am in. 

But Church was great of course. I sat behind the Homewoods, which is a strategic move because I think their little girl Elizabeth is so darn cute. I just need to figure out a way to get her long baby eyelashes. Then the rest of church was kinda sad because everyone is going to be gone by the time I get back so I had to say alot of goodbyes. Good luck everyone that is moving!! Also, I just got a new V.T. companion who I am way stoked about....but just my luck.....I leave on Wednesday. I eventually made it home just in time for my V.T.'s to come and visit me. I then ate some lunch and have been writing my "Theory of Change" paper all night. It is a pretty long paper I have to write about what type of therapy I would want to use when I am a therapist to help aid my clients in changing. I am actually really enjoying writing it. 

I was hoping to take a break at 6 to watch Funniest Home Video's to realize that it is not on during the summer time. This made me super sad. I love that show. Which reminds me that I need to watch Wipeout online, because I missed it this past Wednesday. And I am excited for The Bachelorette tomorrow and I wonder who has a girlfriend and is going home. I think it is going to be Wes just because of all the hype he has been getting. To be quite honest, he does not really bother me. I guess I will have to just wait and see. 

I am getting soooo excited for Wed. I got off the webcam with Dustin tonight and he is already counting down the hours! 70 or something like that!! yay!! Plus, I was super productive today which was great. Sundays are always the best days!

Last Saturday without the Hubby!!

After watching all my normal late night shows last night, I snuggled up and fell asleep at one. It worries me that I am not even getting tired until one. I need to get on a better sleep schedule. Speaking of sleep schedule....I woke up a little before eleven. Ohhhh I love sleeping in but now I have gotten into this bad habit of staying in bed for about an hour doing all my computer things. Oh well. 

Today I had high hopes of being productive but I was not too successful. I wanted to get alot of homework stuff done but I did so much yesterday that I had little motivation for today. I then had a Senior singing recital thing for my friend Amy that I went to this afternoon and she did great! Way to go Amy!! Then it was just back to the grind of work. Luckily, my friend Penny gave me something to do tonight. She invited me over for dinner which is always yummy and then I was able to watch her baby girl while they went to go see a movie. After having a baby in my house last night (thanks Katy) I was eager to babysit more. So all in all, it was a good day!

Day off!

So today is my first real day off in a long time. This is the first time in nearly a month that I have no where I need to be, no appointments, nothing, which in turn gave me the freedom to plan some fun. So I woke up this morning at 10, which was lovely, and just laid in bed for a long time chatting with friends and doing my normal morning computer routine. 

I then ate breakfast and began my homework. Sometime I like not having a schedule and other times I hate it. I love being able to do whatever I want when I want but I also like the structure of deadlines. So to say the least, homework moved slowly. I then cleaned the house and got it all ready for girls night tonight! yay! I am having the old relief society presidency come over because one of us is already going to another ward, another is moving to California, and I am going to Kansas....so we need to get together one last time. So while I was doing my homework this afternoon, I decided I would watch a movie and now I regret it. I watched a very weird and awkward movie called "Henry Poole is Here." After that put me in an erie mood I was stupid enough to watch Oprah about online predator. Why do I do these things to myself?

So my day was pretty uneventful. Just cleaned, did homework, finally showered, and got ready for the girls night. The girls night was really great though. We just talked, munched on junk food and watched my favorite movie The Holiday!!! Oh sooo good! I love those girls and they just made my night! I love you guys :)

You girls know what I mean....

So last night was rough. I went to bed at 11 p.m. but I could not go to sleep to save my life. My body was tired but my mind would not shut down. So I tossed and turned for a very long time which in turn made me nearly oversleep my first class. I could not miss religion this morning so I finally woke up 20 min. before it started and ran out the door in a hurry. So not a fun morning. So I got to class and felt so achy and tired which could only mean one thing.....and yes.....you girls know what I am talking about. So basically, my entire religion class I dreamed about medication and a warm heat pack. But that dream will not come true for at least another 4 hours.

So after my last day of religion class (yay!) I went to Wendy's for some comfort food, plus I missed breakfast this morning and I was dying. I then headed off to my last day of work! I am so excited to be done. So I basically inputted copyright information into the database and cleaned out my desk and was able to throw away so many things. I love throwing things away! Also, I started saying goodbye to everyone and got really sad. I have made some wonderful friends at I.S. and am so sad that I cant just turn around and talk to them. So thank you girls for your love and support. I will miss you!!

Then I went home for an hour and ran straight to the heat pack and just lied on the couch waiting for my hubby to appear out of no where and massage my calf's (they always ache the worse) but of course he was not there. So I mustered up energy to go to class to drop off a paper and have a quick chat with my teacher about my 12 page paper. Ugh! But at least I was able to begin my evening at 5 instead of 7 tonight! I then worked on one of my papers while watching re-runs of Frasier and Friends. So though the day started out a little rough, all in all it ended well. Let the weekend begin!

One week from today!!

Almost exactly one week from this moment I will be arriving in Kansas and Dustin will be picking me up at the airport!! Yay! It absolutely has not hit me yet that I am going. This is not an easy transition for me. I like sleeping in my own bed (I think people underestimate how much I love it), I have never lived with in-laws, I have never done online courses, and a bunch of other things. So this is a very nerve racking, but knowing that Dustin will be there with me makes it all worth it. I have even bought my Independent Study Courses and I have the text books for them so I am all ready to go.

First off, it is so gross outside and has been for sometime now. This is why I do not live in Seattle. I hate it when it is overcast all the time because I feel like being lazy and I feel it is a good day wasted. But I eventually crawled out of bed this morning to go to work with the thought in my head that I am so close to being done. But work was sooooo boring. I wanted to just go home. I am a little sad because I really like consistency in my life and I wish I knew where I was going to be in a couple months, job wise. Oh well. Nature of the beast. Also, it is so weird to be able to count on one hand all the things you have left to do in school. I have a paper in clinical, a paper for childhood, a final in childhood, a religion paper, and a religion final. Ohhh please have this week go by fast.

One little pleasure I am doing this weekend is having the old Relief Society Presidency, that I was in, come over to my house on Friday for a girls night. I am so excited to just spend time with some of my favorite people before I leave. Okay....maybe I did not make it clear in my blog yesterday how sad I am that I am missing Wipeout tonight. Sad sad day. But I do have good news.....I found out that Johnny Depp is going to be the Riddler in the next Batman movie, and I am a fan of his so I am excited. Also Seymour Hoffman is suppose to be the Penguin which I think fits him really well.

Anyways....so back to my day....after work I went to class which was great because we got out way early which means I could get to my Uncle's house earlier. My Uncle Jay invited me over to his house because he just discovered Skype and he needed some computer help, and since I know a thing or two I was able to help them out. I love being over at people's homes and they were sweet enough to give me some dinner, so I had a nice time. I then hurried over to Walmart because I needed milk. Of course. The sad news is that I had to get new milk because I let the other one spoil. I never knew I would experience spoiled milk. In my defense it is not really spoiled, its just that the expiration date has appeared and I have a really sensitive stomach so I dont want to risk anything. 

Then once I got home I did my last religion paper! Hallelujah!! This class has been nice but I think it has been a little too much work for just 2 credits. Just a random side note, I realize I am tired starting at about 6 p.m. I feel like an old person. I realized this because Dustin is not here to keep me preoccupied and awake. So I am going to bed. Goodnight. 

P.S. The image at the top was from my trip to Idaho. Those 3 girls were some fabulous old roomies. 

Only a couple days left of work!

So I was up pretty late last night studying and talking to my mom so I decided I would take the morning off. And by taking the morning off I simply mean not going to one of my classes. Luckily they don't take attendance so it is not a big deal at all. It is really weird that there is less then a week of school left! That is crazy. Also, my last day of work is this Thursday so I only have 2 more days after this!! Yay!! I don't hate my job but I don't love it either.

So after my leisurely morning, I headed off to work and my boss basically took the day off which is wonderful because then I had time to study for my exam tonight. After work I went home and got my presentation together for my Clinical class. Then my friend Danielle called and I went over to her house for cookies and a quick chat. My presentation went well in class. It was nice because she cancelled the final which means all I have is this paper so that is great. After class I went and took a test and I could of sworn I got an A on because I studied for 7 hours and lets just say that I did not get that grade. I was so sad!! It ruined my night. I worked so hard to get an A. 

Also, I caught the end of the bachelorette last night and Reid is still on which makes me happy. I like him and Micheal. They just seem so cute with Jilliane. And while we are on T.V. shows....wipeout is tomorrow and it is a 2 hour episode with "twice the contestants and twice the obstacles." And I am super sad that I cant watch it because I have to help a family member with some technology things. I guess I will just have to watch it online. Well, these are the only 2 shows I really watch besides late night shows....and might I just say that I miss Jay Leno. I have been watching him for nearly a decade now and I dont like that he is not back on until the fall. Oh well.

Just so everyone is updated, I leave for Kansas next Wednesday, which is nearly a week away!!! Yay!! Also, I decided to stay there with Dustin for the rest of the summer, so about 2 months and I am just going to finish my last 2 college courses online through Independent Study. So I am excited for that!!

Some heart warming news is that my brother, who is the baby of the family, graduated High School yesterday and I am so proud of him. I wished I could be there but I nearly cried just looking at all the graduation photos! Way to go Carson!! I am so proud of you! The picture is of my brother and my sister Kimrea.

So the week begins

I first want to thank Brandi for putting me up this past weekend! It was great to see her and her lovely house. Monday has been a beast. I woke up pretty happy after being in my own bed :) I then had an appointment at 11 that went great and then I ran home and grabbed some food before going to the gynecologist to get my yearly pap smear (sp).  Ohhhh they suck....I hate them but at least my doctor was great this time. 

Then I went and got my bangs cut, went to the bank, and then went to class. I then hurried home and did my 2 papers and studied for my test.....so much to do!! It is definitely getting down to finals time. And I am sad that I am so busy because I really wanted to watch the Bachelorette tonight. Just so you know, I am pulling for Reid because he is nice and quiet. Sorry my blog is so short but I am busy and have much to do. 

P.S. I miss my hubby so I wanted to post a picture of how cute he is!! 

I am surprised I survived today!

Okay, so I do have internet....but it is one in the morning and this has been the longest day of my life so I am just going to give bullet points now so I don't forget but expand upon them later. 

-Woke up at 8

-Got oil changed at 8:05 until freaking 9 a.m. after they told me it would take 15 min

-Ran home and got ready.....very stressful

-Pick up my friend 

-drove to Rexburg but got severely lost and so I got to Rexburg in 6 freaking hours. I will have to tell you all later how BAD I am at directions. 

-got to Rexburg way late and had to rush seeing everyone

-had to find a way back to Idaho Falls without getting lost again so I followed a friend

-Nearly died in a sand storm and hail and rain.....I really though I would die

-Made it to I.F. by 8 that night and had my first real meal of the day

-Ran around town and dropped off a skirt for my friend

-Talked to friends until 1:00

-Now I am going to bed after a very frustrating.....nothing going right....day. But I am happy to be here and happy to sleep. 

Busy, Busy, Busy

I went to bed last night at a pretty decent time but could not fall asleep until 1 a.m. Boo! So I decided I would sleep in a little more this morning and just wear a hat today. So I woke up, got ready and ran to class. Religion class was very interesting because we had a Presbyterian guy come in and talk about Brigham Young. It was fun...until I got my test grade back and got a 54! I nearly started crying. So I went up to my professor after and we talked about it and my grade will improve. I told him not to do me any favors and I was definitely not whining to him but he understood where I was coming from so it should all work out.

Then I went to work late because I was talking to my professor for so long. Work was great because the database died so I was able to get other things done, like my "to do list" for today to get ready for Rexburg tomorrow. It is so long. I need to clean the house, pack, do laundry, check the car, and a billion other things. Luckily my night class was canceled for tonight but I am still hoping to get a lot of homework done tonight because when I get back on Monday I am totally booked.

I will be honest....I am a little nervous about driving long distance without the hubby to fix the car in case it breaks. But I am so glad that I have a riding buddy that I know and who can keep me awake. Just so you know.....everyone who actually gets this far in my blog....that I dont know about internet this weekend so my daily blogs might be put on hold.

Wipeout day!

Last night, after talking to Dustin my dad called me and I was freaking on the phone for 2 hours until nearly 1 a.m. Dont get me wrong, I like talking to my family and it was fun to randomlly look up "Who's Line is it Anyway's" clips but I just had a paper to write that kept me up pretty darn late. Oh well, I got to sleep in pretty late this morning so I am doing pretty great. Then, when I was getting ready, my package came! I ordered my summer textbooks from Amazon and one of them came today! Yay for being on top of things :)

Then I went to work and actually had a pretty good time. I finshed a major project that I have been working on for about a month or more and I am up to date on all my copyright projects. Unfortunantly I finished all of that in my first hour of work so the rest of the time was kinda boring....so I did homework. I also came to a weird realization today while at work. I feel that when Dustin is here in Utah I run as if I had a motor and I try to get everything done so quickly so I can spend time with him. But when he is gone, it is a weird feeling to not want to rush home and I can do things at my own pace.

I then went to my child development class and couldn't wait to get done because tonight is one of my favorite shows......WIPEOUT! I love this show. I did not grow up thinking that people falling down and hurting themselves was funny, but after watching enough Funniest Home Videos, I have come to love watching people WIPEOUT! Ohhhhh good times. I then went grocery shopping for the first time that I can remember without my hubby. Sad day. I then did my last paper that was due this week. talked to my hubby, and tried to go to bed at a reasonable time. 

I am soooo burnt out!!

So I was up until 2:00 a.m. last night getting everything done that I needed too. I studied a little bit for my test but was so over the whole thing that I just took it. I know I didn't do great and I only have my self to blame. I always procrastinate till the last minute. So I guess I will have to be satisfied with a B in this class instead of an A. I then got about 5 hours sleep and then woke up for class. I was so tired! When I dont get enough sleep I feel sick and I definelty feel yucky today. I know, I know....only myself to blame. I am just so burnt out. I have been going to school for such a long stretch with basically no breaks, plus I graduate in August so my stamina is wearing thin.

On my way to my church history class I ran into my TA and we chatted it up for a while and I am hoping that he will go easy on my exam. He is a good guy so I hope he does what is right ;) In my religion class my teacher always asks what is exciting in our lives so I told him about the church history play I went to last night and the special risque after show. I still cant stop laughing about the whole incident. If you really want to know then just ask but I am not going to post the whole story on my blog.

Then I went to work and just did same old stuff and tried really hard not to fall asleep. I also gave my boss my 2 weeks notice that I can no longer work there for the rest of the summer. I figured that working and going to school full time in the summer is just too much for me. Not working is going to have to be my little break in life. She was sad I was no longer going to be her assistant but after she told me what I would of been doing for the next 2 months, I didn't feel so bad anymore. 

I then went home and gave myself an hour to relax and do nothing else before my night class, because I knew I was going to be writing a paper tonight. I then went off to class and found out that the MTC was hit hard with swine flu and families cant go in the building anymore. I don't know details but I don't think it is anything serious. I actually really enjoyed class tonight because it focused on child therapy and I am learning that I like it. Maybe I will end up being a school counselor. 

I then went home and ate dinner, relaxed, wrote my paper, and talked to the hubby! Also, I think I found a ride for this weekend. I was hoping on heading down to Rexburg but I would not go without a passenger and I now my friend Julie can go with me which means I can come to Idaho this weekend!

June already

Today was pretty darn busy. It started out a little rough when I got bad news last night about my family and then bad news about one of my friends early this morning....but it should all work out. At least I hope. But I was not going to let it effect me so I got up early and got ready for the day. (early being 9:00 a.m.) I then had back to back appointments at 11 and then 12 and they were both very productive. 

I then got home and worked really hard because of my test and the 2 papers I have to do tonight. I studied from 1-4 and then headed off to my night class. My night class is rather boring so I left half way through so I could go home and study some more. I studied for a bit and then finally talked to Dustin. He had a good day at work. He basically studied about Bankruptcy stuff all day, so kinda boring, but good. 

I then told my friend Amy that I would go with her to see a play that her husband is in about Emma Smith. We went to a theater near downtown Provo and watched the 3 hour play! Yes, you read that right, 3 hours! But it was good and it was nice to see a play. I have not seen one in forever. The place was a small hole in the wall place but it was so cute. It was nice to do something I dont normally do. Plus we got a pretty risque after show that the owner thought we should pay extra for....so it was good times.  And now I have to finish my papers and take my test at 11:00 p.m. Ahhhhhh
