It was bound to happen

Well, things have been getting pretty crazy and life is moving faster than it ever has. I figured it was about time for me to break down and get a blog. Thiiis way, those closest to me (namely my family) can know what's goin on in my life and how I'm feeling about all the wonderful and crazy things that are happening.

I'm engaged!! Let's go ahead and get that one out of the way right off the bat. First of all, I'll go ahead and own up to all of the "I told ya so's" I'm sure all of my high school friends are smirking over. It was a little bit difficult for me to get over the fact that I'm getting married so young. I went back and reread my journal from when I was 17 where I listed all of the things I wanted to have done before I got married, and I'm here to tell ya... I'm not even close. But when I finally did some soul searching and praying I realized that the WHEN of accomplishing all of those goals isn't what matters, but the how. Finding Chris, and realizing that he will help me accomplish those goals in such a way that I would never have been able to myself is really what matters. The second issue that I really had to get over was getting married at such a young age. More specifically living the BYU stereotype. I'm not the full blown stereotype granted, I didn't get married my freshman year at the age of 18 to a guy I'd been dating 3 weeks... but still. For me to get over this one I came to figure out, with the help of my Heavenly Father, that in the eternal perspective none of that will matter and age will mean nothing. I'm sure it's hard for my family, specifically my mom's side, for me to marry someone they barely know. I can't wait for everyone to meet and know him, to see what a good man he is and how he makes me a better person. He compliments me in every way and he takes such good care of me. Yesterday for example, he came over to my apartment before work and said that he had something for me. He said, "Remember what you said to me last night before you left?" I really had know idea but I threw out a couple of guesses, "uhhh I love you?"... "nope that wasn't it".... "err, goodbye" He laughed and said, "No, I'll give you a hint... we said something at the exact same time" In realization I gasped, "Ohhh ya! I jinxed you!" We both said "love you babe" at the exact same time, so of course I said "1,2,3,4,gfjkd, 10 (I usually mumble 5-9) you owe me something!!" See from experience I've learned not to say soda or pop. If you tell someone you jinxed they owe you a soda they'll say "SOOO DUHH!!" And every time I jinxed my mom growing up and said she owed me a pop... that's exactly what I got, a pop upside the head. SOO I said you owe me something. So he was adorable and went to American Eagle and bought me these gold rimmed sunglasses that I tried on like a month ago and loved. He does sweet and simple things like this ALL the time... I could go on and on about the great man he is. My mom brought me the most comfort when she said, "Kelsie, you've never made a bad decision in your life and I trust you with this one as well" I guess that's what I'm asking everyone to do... just trust in me, and when you have the chance to meet him you'll be able to trust in him too. :]

Alright other than being engaged... school is killing me! Anatomy is thee hardest class I've ever taken. We have two hour lab every week where we have a quiz over like a hundred terms and then spend the duration learning new terms and examining cadavers. You have to go into the open lab for at least three hours a week if you want a chance of a good score on the quizzes. This isn't even to mention that you have two lecture hours a week, you're looking at and smelling cadavers, studying for this class takes time away from studying all your other classes, you have a wedding to plan, and the relation this class has to your actual major is SO minimal. I'm still in Spanish... that class is also very hard, but Chris helps me out with it a ton. I love my Communications Disorders teacher and my Spanish teacher, they're awesome. But that about sums up school for me right now, difficult.

I love my job, I really have been so blessed to have it. I work at a call center where I only answer incomming calls. So if people don't call... I just get paid to do my homework, or in this case blog. :] When people do call I just help them out with their problem and talk to our programmer (Chris' dad) if there's something beyond my knowledge. I average about 5 or 6 calls a day so for the majority of the time, I just do homework. We also get a massage about once a month, season passes to Sundance mountain, free lunch every Friday, season tickets to the Jazz games, and a condo up in Park City... seriously the- best- job- ever.

That about sums up my life right now. I'll try and be good about letting you know when new and fun things happen. Love you all.
