whats a girl to do when her husbands computer is broke/retarded and he needs to use her computer all day for more important things than her blogging and facebook addiction, like studying for the BAR, perhaps the most important test of his life?... use it at 2am, while you curse the fact that he is fast asleep in the other room.

Dear sleep,

I miss you.

Dear Lady at the Joanns Fabrics,

Next time you ask someone how far along they are in their pregnancy, please engage inner monologue if you plan on telling them, "Your huge!" Especially if you plan to follow that comment up with "Really, your only eight months? I would have guessed any day now!" In fact, when meeting someone for the first time, stick to small talk topics where you are likely not to offend them, such as their favorite slurpee flavor. All topics relating to weight, age, and overall appearance should be avoided like the plague. And if everyone in the line looks at you with shock and disdain, please stop all further comments relating to that subject. Because if I wasn't initially so shocked to think of any other reaction than to laugh, I would have crawled over the little counter separating us to strangle you after I bawled my eyes out! Just a thought.

4 fabulous years

after 4 fabulous years, i love...

waking up next to you
snuggling on the couch
our long talks in the car
learning even more about you
our crazy adventures
making you laugh
your drive for life
making you happy
your cheeseball smile
our little family
every moment I'm with you
that you make me want to be better

you more now than ever!

After all this time, you are still the man of my dreams. Cheers to 4 fantastic years and an eternity to come!

Dear 2009

Welcome.

Well, I wont lie. You have a tough act to follow, 2008 was pretty stinking awesome. I couldn't have planned it better beforehand. Now dont get intimidated, I have high hopes for you too. Life as we know it will change in more ways than one. Baby boy will come under your watch, a long awaited graduation will finally occur, hopefully a home to call my own in there, and maybe a few suprises for us both.

I will miss '08, it was a good time, but I look forward to you '09 with the same enthusiasm I look back with. If you can, could you please come and go a little slower than 2008 did.

Kelly

missionaries work

last night i had the opportunity to go with some missionaries in our ward to an investigators home. i never served a mission and really had no idea what it would be like to be on one, so last night was a real learning moment. i certainly have a testimony of the truth of the book of mormon, but i dont think i have ever been asked to share it quite like i was called to last night. what an amazingly brave thing these dedicated boys and girls do each day in spreading the message of the gospel. not only that, but the missionaries here spend lots of time helping immigrants from all over the world with learning english. the service they give daily to often complete strangers is a testament to how we should all live our lives. a free, genuine compassion and helpful hand to anyone who stands in need. what a example to me.
