Last night we got a text from the Bishop asking if he could meet with us at 10 am. I thought it was odd and so did Kelly! I even asked is it tithing settlements? Kelly laughed at that one.
Kelly didn't want me to text back right away but for some reason I couldn't contain myself, I don't know why dragging it out to text back makes it seem any different to him. I know Kelly if he doesn't text back or call back immediately he probably never will. So I took the initiative to text back. I wrote "Yes, we can do that!"... then Kelly saw it and said "An exclamation point! WHY? That makes it sound like we are looking forward to it."
Well 10 am rolled around and Kelly got called in first, I was wondering what the heck was going on because he wanted both of us. I kinda freaked and wondered if they were talking about me! I mean I just wanted to be in the office already! Finally the bishop let me in & then the news broke! Kelly & I were taking bets on who would be getting a new calling, although it was hard to think on what they would be changing because just a couple months ago they changed the YW&YM so what could they possibly be changing?
Kelly was called to be the 1st counselor in the Young Mens. Kelly is kind of bummed because he enjoyed teaching the 11 year olds in Primary, but I think more so he isn't looking forward to having to sit with me in sunday school, because I will be asking for back tickles and he can't sing the Sunbeam song anymore!
I know Kelly will do a great job working in the Young Mens. I secretly have wanted him in the YM's because then we could go to things together! I got my wish! :) The nice thing is he is over the Teachers & I am the advisor for the Miamaids, so we will coordinate together for activities! hahaha... Aka, he will let me plan it all!
Kelly will be working with our neighbor Paul Weaver who is the president, I know he will enjoy it because they have a lot of interests. Also he will be working with Jake Johnson who is the Teacher Advisor. I work with Jake's wife Hailee. They have been married for 2 years I believe and we have a lot of the same interests. Jake does a lot of hunting, camping, snowmobiling, four wheeling, dirt biking, fishing... aka another Kelly. So they will have fun with the boys and I am sure they boys will love them!
Kelly gets to learn the new Youth Curriculum, which is a lot different from how the Primary books are so that will be fun because we both will have similar lessons, can we count planning our lessons as FHE? Oh wait, we count watching the Bachelorette as FHE!

Date Night Adventure: Fourwheeling Up Farmington
Since we bought a fourwheeler from my dad, Kelly has been wanting to use it constantly. The small rides he takes up and down the street and around our property isn't cutting it for him! He is an adrenaline junky!
So Kelly talked me in to going up to Farmington canyon with our friends Carli & Dan! I haven't ever been up there and it was pretty scary how steep it was and how fast cars and trucks were flying around the corners! Especially being in our big truck & pulling a trailer.
We stopped at Layton Walmart and got somethings to eat like hot dogs and smores stuff! Although we had forgotten a lighter at our house and then got one at our friends and left it at their house as well. As we walked into walmart we said remember to get a lighter! Well as you know we forgot to get one! As we drove up the canyon on our fourwheelers I told Kelly we didn't get a lighter, and the hunt to find someone with one began! After stopping in a campground we finally found someone with one! We made it up to the top by the towers right as the sun was beginning to set! Although there was still a ton of snow. Like at least 15-20 feet left in some places, so it was pretty chilly up top, not to mention that Kelly wore shorts! (weirdo.)
We found a fire pit and started roasting hot dogs and marshmallows! It began to get dark and we started heading back down to the truck around 11pm! I was shocked at how many people were driving up the canyon that late at night! We also saw a girl sitting right on the edge of the canyon after a switch back, she looked like a giant rock. After we got back to the truck Carli & I made the men go back to see if she was okay and there was a guy with her who was in a car that we passed. They said she looked to be okay, we instantly thought of scenarios on why you would hang your legs off a cliff.
We then joked with Dan (he is on Davis County Search & Rescue) about how tomorrow he will get a call about the two missing or injured. He had hiked that canyon an hour before we headed up on fourwheelers, he did the 7 mile hike in 45 minutes! Insanely fast! He always has some crazy stories about people that they have calls to go search for!
It was a fun time and nice to get away for a few hours! Although, I was shocked at how big the Salt Lake is, we all live on this tiny strip of land and the rest is all marsh! Antelope Island doesn't look very small like it use to and it almost could past for an ocean! It was pretty to look at! I will have to post pictures of it soon! We did however past a lot of high school kids that were on dates, its probably Makeout Mountain. I wish I would of been that smart when I was in high school instead of trying to do it in the driveway! haha.

Questar Trips.
Kelly is spending the week down in Moab working with Questar. They are replacing the gas lines down there, so he is going into homes and redoing their entire house. Although he is getting to work with his really good friend Steve Moss.
I however am spending my time working at the school for the last 6 days and finishing up the dance season with the Junior Recital this week and the Senior Recital next week! I am really grateful that Kelly had the opportunity to go work down there this week since he will be making extra money with all the overtime. Although I have to be a little selfish in the fact it is weird going home at night and not having him there!
Nala was very upset the first night he was gone! She wouldn't sleep, she was whining all night. I couldn't figure out if she was hungry or just wanting to be outside. Finally at 6 am she crashed and so did I. She definitely likes Kelly!
Its kind of odd having him gone this week, I think this is the first week I have ever been home alone. I have left him home before with girls camp last summer. He is a hard worker and I am sure he will learn a lot and meet some new people from the company!
We are hoping to have him transfer to Ogden this summer/fall. He is working with a foreman from Ogden, it will be good for him to know some people from Ogden, so when he interviews he can say he has had experience with people! He had interviewed before for Ogden but the Salt Lake Department wouldn't let them take any from Ogden at the time! Although Kelly was told he was there first pick if they could of taken him! He is now nervous because more guys have moved from Salt Lake to Ogden so he feels there will be more competition, although I think because of this trip and how great of a worker he has been for Salt Lake he won't have any problem!
Thank you Questar for being such a great employer (haha)

The Appointments Began..
We have officially started a new project in our house which consisted of another huge mess, and more work than we thought! Go figure, isn't that what always happens! We have sanded down our entire banister and railing in the kitchen and stairs! We were both sick of the old look they had! Kelly started sanding them Monday while I was at work and lets just say I came home to a sawdust home, the couch was covered the floor and rugs were covered and Nala was a dust ball with 2 beady eyes! Cleaning the walls and hand sanding wasn't much fun, but now I am looking forward to how it will really turn out and if we will like it!?
We have now gone to visit a neurologist twice for Kelly. Some of you may not know but he has had headaches for the past 7 years and everyday! Its not your usual headache, its a dull ache and he feels like he can't think clearly and sometimes sick to his stomach! He gets little relieve from Tylenol, Advil or any headache medicine! Kelly started getting these while on his mission and he went and visited with an ENT. They didn't find much out and they thought it was mostly sinus issues. He then returned home and had a MRI done of his brain and nothing was found! They did a surgery on his nose to try and clean out his sinus! Kimmy (Kelly's oldest sister) worked in a chiropractor office and luckily has had somethings for him to try as a neck traction and every time we see her she adjusts him and everyone else in the family! I thank her for all her help and time she spends helping him!
After much nagging and long conversations we finally decided to get a neurologist appointment! The first one was in April, surprisingly we spent about 2 hours in the doctors office with him asking questions, he even did a dementia test because of Kelly's "clouded thinking". We discussed a whole bunch of possibilities but didn't really feel like it went anywhere after we left! They did 12 blood tests on him that visit! Kelly was shocked when they kept pulling out more tests! They didn't find anything odd in any of the tests! Then the doctor decided to go on the drug form, we discussed if he should have another MRI done and we were talked out of that! (Even though it had been 7 years since the last one and even though nothing looked unusual then why not check to see if 7 years later something is showing.)
We then tried muscle relaxers for 6 weeks, Kelly sleeps amazingly fine! I mean come on he's a husband, but if he ever holds still long enough he is out like a light! The discomfort isn't when he's going to bed anyways its during the day! In between the time of the first appointment Kelly would get adjusted and massaged, we soon found out that it was definitely his neck that started the head ache (C3 on his spine).Finally we had the 2nd appointment, I wasn't able to go but Kelly had told the doctor that the muscle relaxers didn't do much and he still had symptoms, we had already told him that we didn't want to try anti-depressants or seizure medication, even though they could help they have more cons than they do pros! I told Kelly that he needed to tell the doctor that we would want an CT scan done on his neck and brain, they never did anything with his neck before! Before the doctor was concerned with us having to pay a lot to do the scans but how else will you know if there is a nerve that looks wrong unless you do the scan! Plus after all the appointments we will hit our deductible anyways! So on June 4th he will be having the two CT scans and then going in the next day to hear back on if anything looks in different, they are thinking that if something does need to be done the neurologist will refer him to a Physical Pain Specialist that can inject things into his neck! The weird thing is the neurologist hasn't been very hands on, it kind of sounds like a easy doctor occupation.
Kelly has gone a few days with no headaches and he really enjoys those days! I hope we find something that works. Its hard to go into it blinded and not really know but I think we will eventually know what is going on! Kelly struggles with the hit of the initial money we will have to pay but I am just glad we are able to get it looked at and try different things if needed!
I will post any more updates as they happen! :)

18.5 days & counting down
I have always been a fan of summer! But this year I think is the first year that I am really looking forward to it, okay maybe because I am sick of the kids at work and their lazy, unhappy attitudes! They all act like there life is hard, we have just started to tell them; so who took your crayons and made you so mad?
I don't think the kids are even caring that summer is getting closer, sadly because I know they don't get to go on vacations to Hawaii, a family cabin, camping, cruise or anything! I even believe that there parents dislike summer because they sadly can't send them off to school to be babysat for 8 hours!
I feel bad for some of the kids who walk the halls of this school! We have one sixth grader named Issac whose dad passed away Sunday night. His dad has been sick for a few years and issac is high functioning autism, we were all thinking he won't be coming back to school for awhile and he showed up today, he says he's okay with it but we doubt that its hit him yet! He lives with grandma and mom is nowhere in the picture, I really hope that kids like him can overcome the hard things in life and become something wonderful! He is one of my favorite 6th graders he is funny, he quotes movies all the time and he always can make you smile!
This past weekend Kelly and I went to spend time with friends in the Uintas! It was a blast we rode four wheelers and ate a ton of food! We really are surrounded by good friends and I am glad that I can say I enjoy Kelly's friends! I am grateful we finally got ourselves a four wheeler from my father, it has already been fun! And who knew but you can fit 4 adults on it and a big dog! Our friends four wheeler ended up losing air in two tires so we all rode back on ours! We got quite the looks from some people!
Summer will be fun, I hope to get caught up on something's and organize our house! Maybe paint my bathroom, we really are wanting to work in the yard a lot too, sadly a few of our trees are dead and I hate some plants that we have! Kelly is looking forward to laundry being caught up and maybe having dinner made more frequently! I feel bad that its not something I can stay caught up on while I have school and dance, but luckily he understands and helps out with doing it all!
I also am looking forward to having auditions for our new competition teams! It's always fun to meet new girls and start new dances! I love working with Lisa and Alexa they are a great pair and very talented! I also am hoping that girls camp will be fun too now that we have new leaders I have struggled with how things have changed and the girls have as well!
All in all the countdown is 18.5 days till summer.... Sadly it's 85 degrees outside and I am still white! It will be one hot summer!

The Crazy Month of April
We have now celebrated being married one full year! Some say its either the hardest or funniest! I would have to agree that it was the funniest! I absolutely had the best year being married to Kelly! Between buying our house, painting our bedroom and kitchen, celebrating the holidays of "firsts" it was really a fun time!
Although, I am wondering why we did everything in April. I can't control our birthdays but adding the anniversary to it all made for a month of crazy spending! Worse than Christmas almost ;)
Let alone we have started working around the yard! I have a hard time keeping up with things inside the house mainly because A- I am lazy B- I am a marvelous proCRAFTinator (aka rather do crafts than clean) which luckily Kelly likes what I make but he also would like clean clothes! I wish I had a laundromat in my basement just so I could have all 25 loads going since I get that behind before I do any laundry! Kelly would love me to iron all his clothes but then I would be to perfect of a wife. I am sure I will want a bigger laundromat once I have kids, but hopefully then I won't be running around from work to work!
April has been a good month for my Competition Dance teams! I am very proud that my girls don't have class as often as some teams do! But they compete very well against them! I remember always getting first place but then kids weren't doing dance every waking hour! I was very happy when one of the teams I choreographed their jazz dance, at their 2nd competition they were going against 4 other studios, I wasn't sure how we would place up to them! Especially knowing that I knew some people from the studios, suddenly at awards we took 3rd out of 5! I was ecstatic, they danced hard and they danced better than some practices! I am not being arrogant but I believe that we had the cutest costumes and dances! I loved when I competed in college and high school but I like that I can teach girls to just have a hobby and a passion! Wether or not they stick with dance or go into a different hobby, I enjoy learning from them and being able to share my passion for dance!
At our 2nd competition they did Judges Choice awards for the studios! Yes every studio gets one but shockingly we got what I would say is the best award we could of got.... Best Choreography and Charisma! Not one other studio had anything close to that! Alexa and me flipped out when they said that, because at least the judges knew we were doing hard choreography weather or not we execute it correctly they enjoyed that it wasn't as simple as the ones we went against! After Lisa asked me what we got and her jaw dropped! I think she was happy but it made it even better once every judges sheet said something about the choreography!
Okay. I am a little into the dance world but what do you expect! I am just glad that the stress of getting costumes ready and dances finished is done! Although we now will be starting tap and lyrical! I love choreographing lyrical's and I am really excited to see how they turn out!
Alumni class has been a ball! I didn't do it last year but this year it has been fun to make new friends and sit and laugh with Lisa and Alexa! We have done a jazz dance, tap dance, hip hop and now a lyrical is started! I haven't tapped in 7 years and sadly it cam back to me although I get confused with some steps it's better than none! ;)
Kelly has picked up a lot of skid steer jobs in the last week or so, which I am hoping he will keep getting them! That way during the summer I won't have to do anything hopefully but have the "magical house" which to Kelly is what his sisters have! But they are probably busier than I am for being stay at home moms! Kelly will expect dinner and clean floors I just don't know how well that will go! Although I am very excited for school to be out 28 more days! June 7th can't come fast enough!
I am very glad I have the job I do, the school is very fun and the kids are a riot, although there are some co workers who I could live without mainly because once you have worked here for 9 months you should probably know the name of the principal, the office ladies oh and the people you work with every day? To this day she still doesn't say my name right it's Maddie to her! I guess my first name changed & not my last name!
I am officially 21 I don't feel much different besides I can drink Mountain Dew legally now and my driving record has a chance of having higher points so therefore I can get pulled over more! ;) Kelly spoiled me with Texas Roadhouse for dinner and a new maxi dress! He also got me a pair of Rock Revival jeans! My mom made us a chevron blanket for our couch in the front room since its getting sun faded! I also got a new purse from my mom and a shirt! I was spoiled at work as well, with Costa Vida and some Martinells with some cute cups! My mother in law rocks, she gave me these cool roses that had some zebra print on them and they were real! :) a big thank you to her and my awesome coworkers! Marci got me a cute coral belt and earrings and one of my favorite Disney characters, Cruella De Vil! Aria loved playing with it and her sleeping beauty! I loved also having Marci and my grandparents come to party! We were eating lunch and my grandpa said "Well you're 21 and have never been kissed below the ankles" ....as you can imagine we all started laughing and even grandpa turned bright red from laughing! He has gotten older and can't hear as well but he is certainly hilarious! Even my grandma had some funny comments when I was fighting with my dad she said "someone take a picture of the 2 idiots" we all laughed at that as well! It was a great day spent with family! We even bought the green four wheeler from my
dad and we sold a four wheeler Kelly had worked on to get it running!
My dad is now 53 and he actually seems funnier than 2 years ago! He got a new 2012 F150 truck and has been telling everyone Kelly bought the truck because he married me! My dad is funny right? Okay not so much! Sadly my dad sold his truck this weekend, old pink is gone but I will always remember the mailbox dent that is on the tailgate, I will try and forget how mad my dad was at me for doing it! I will miss old pink and the rhyme we said to dad! "Some bishops wear black and blue but ours wears and drives in pink too" that was before he was a stake president now he will just blend in with his white truck!
Kelly is now 28 and the "golden child" even his cake said so, he is still handsome as ever! We are still trying to figure out his daily headaches and hopefully the process of it won't be too long! I gave Kelly a few 007 movies! Skyfall, quantum of solace and one other! He got some new clothes as well that he picked from Gordmans! :)
For our anniversary we went to a hotel in west valley that had a water slide that went outside the hotel and back in! Sadly we couldn't go down it because it was closed but it was fun! We ate at red robin and swimming at the hotel they had a lot of pools! We then went to City Creek the next day I was pretty peeved that there wasn't any maxi skirts or dresses that were semi modest! Luckily I found some later! I did however get my favorite socks at H&M! I gave Kelly a book I made from Snapfish of our engagements, bridals, wedding day and reception also some dating photos! I think he enjoyed it! It turned out well and the best part is I got it half off yet, I had to make the whole thing in 3 days for the deal at least it was over my spring break! Kelly got me a rug for under our kitchen table and we for a bed frame from Crown Bedrooms since they are going out of business! I was spoiled this month but so was Kelly!
April was a great month, it was busy but very fun! ;)
See ya next year April!

I am officially 21 I don't feel much different besides I can drink Mountain Dew legally now and my driving record has a chance of having higher points so therefore I can get pulled over more! ;) Kelly spoiled me with Texas Roadhouse for dinner and a new maxi dress! He also got me a pair of Rock Revival jeans! My mom made us a chevron blanket for our couch in the front room since its getting sun faded! I also got a new purse from my mom and a shirt! I was spoiled at work as well, with Costa Vida and some Martinells with some cute cups! My mother in law rocks, she gave me these cool roses that had some zebra print on them and they were real! :) a big thank you to her and my awesome coworkers! Marci got me a cute coral belt and earrings and one of my favorite Disney characters, Cruella De Vil! Aria loved playing with it and her sleeping beauty! I loved also having Marci and my grandparents come to party! We were eating lunch and my grandpa said "Well you're 21 and have never been kissed below the ankles" ....as you can imagine we all started laughing and even grandpa turned bright red from laughing! He has gotten older and can't hear as well but he is certainly hilarious! Even my grandma had some funny comments when I was fighting with my dad she said "someone take a picture of the 2 idiots" we all laughed at that as well! It was a great day spent with family! We even bought the green four wheeler from my
dad and we sold a four wheeler Kelly had worked on to get it running!
My dad is now 53 and he actually seems funnier than 2 years ago! He got a new 2012 F150 truck and has been telling everyone Kelly bought the truck because he married me! My dad is funny right? Okay not so much! Sadly my dad sold his truck this weekend, old pink is gone but I will always remember the mailbox dent that is on the tailgate, I will try and forget how mad my dad was at me for doing it! I will miss old pink and the rhyme we said to dad! "Some bishops wear black and blue but ours wears and drives in pink too" that was before he was a stake president now he will just blend in with his white truck!
Kelly is now 28 and the "golden child" even his cake said so, he is still handsome as ever! We are still trying to figure out his daily headaches and hopefully the process of it won't be too long! I gave Kelly a few 007 movies! Skyfall, quantum of solace and one other! He got some new clothes as well that he picked from Gordmans! :)
For our anniversary we went to a hotel in west valley that had a water slide that went outside the hotel and back in! Sadly we couldn't go down it because it was closed but it was fun! We ate at red robin and swimming at the hotel they had a lot of pools! We then went to City Creek the next day I was pretty peeved that there wasn't any maxi skirts or dresses that were semi modest! Luckily I found some later! I did however get my favorite socks at H&M! I gave Kelly a book I made from Snapfish of our engagements, bridals, wedding day and reception also some dating photos! I think he enjoyed it! It turned out well and the best part is I got it half off yet, I had to make the whole thing in 3 days for the deal at least it was over my spring break! Kelly got me a rug for under our kitchen table and we for a bed frame from Crown Bedrooms since they are going out of business! I was spoiled this month but so was Kelly!
April was a great month, it was busy but very fun! ;)
See ya next year April!

..January 2013 Rewind
Right now, Kelly is passed out on the lovesac.. makes sense since he has been working very hard to do my christmas gift!
About a month ago we bought all of the paint, tape, base boards etc. now I can proudly say its done!
He worked nights after nights and even stayed home and didn't go snowmobiling! We chose a light gray for most of the walls and accented some walls with a slightly darker gray! Kelly chose the base its a little over 4 inches! It makes our house a little more modern!
Although, through this process we realized that we need to replace light fixtures eventually! We also want to re do the counters and cabinets also repaint the banister going up stairs and down to the family room. We will see how long that takes! I am sure if it bugs kelly enough he will do it quickly.
I also have officially changed my name on my drivers license.. You may be thinking its almost been a year since we are married and well you are correct! I started the process a couple months ago and man do I loathe the DMV! They were not helpful and they have some ridiculous rules! I didn't have a problem when I changed my S.S card! They wanted two items of mail with my name on our house address so they could change it well, guess what we just bought the house and I can't change anything to be sent here till after my name is changed!!! Then one lady said I needed a birth certificate to prove my citizenship, wouldn't the fact of me having a drivers license that is still valid be enough since 4 years ago I showed them my birth certificate? Then, the lady never told me that instead of a birth certificate they would accept a passport or passport card! So I then showed the lady my passport card she had no clue what it was and tried to tell me she couldn't accept it! That is when I started being a little bit of a brat, If the government issued me that 5 months ago why can't you accept it as showing my citizenship. She still didn't think it was a passport. I think she was new at the DMV because her boss was behind her and he said "no, you can accept that"...Retards!
Then, I went to show my marriage license.. well turns out, the one the Church gave me wasn't the right one! Okay news to you it says I got the license from Farmington and the date we got it and the number of the license! I think you can accept that.. Once again her boss had to tell her it was okay to accept that! If it wouldn't of been for that guy telling her that she could actually change my name I would of been pissed! I hope that in 2 months when I am 21 they won't make me go back in there and pay a butt load of money to put up with retards! ...I guess, I am finally Mrs. Nelson
Tonight, I made cookies for my mia maids. Lets just say they look like pancakes! They taste fine but, don't look very good like some cookies should look.. it pissed me off so I made 2 different things of dough! I seriously spent 3 hours making cookies! I tried different sizes, different time on cooking.. oh well, good thing teenagers eat anything
On a funny note,
Kelly has had two dreams of us having a baby boy! The first dream happened a week or so ago while we were up at Lava Hot Springs for the Fire and Ice Festival. It was about the boys baby blessing at our house and we had a lot of people over, Kelly said he was mad through the dream because toys were everywhere and he said in his dream he kept apologizing for a messy house, that right there tell you how he is; and I still wonder why he was okay with marrying me, I am okay with clutter.
The second dream happened last night! I guess we were up bountiful canyon driving up there and I guess the baby looks like kelly at least from how he described him with strawberry blonde hair and blue eyes! In kelly's words "He was a cute little booger/stinker"
Also, Last weekend we were at Maxwells baby blessing. We also had Ashlyn's the same day we couldn't make it to both but after we got home from Springville we stopped at Kishell's, we were told that Deb (Kelly's Mom) had a dream of someone having a boy! Crazy because she had it probably the same night kelly had his first dream! We started laughing to his sister because of the two dreams! I guess kelly's mom was trying to figure out who was going to be having a boy.. the scary part is, she always has dreams that there is a baby coming and well she has never once been wrong!
Who know's if its us or if Kelly and his mom had some nyquil before they slept, only time will tell.
...I had missed a couple weeks of Young Womans for some coaching things for dance! I went and watched Region for Fremont! It was a lot of fun, but I can't say I miss it! I maybe only miss that I wasn't this chunky! haha... The next week was the Jazz Game that my lovely 60 Dance Image Comp. Team performed at for halftime. They did amazing they had been scaring me with how practice was going the weeks leading up to it, but I think they knocked it out of the park! We also missed church for the baby blessings.
I finally was able to go back to activity night, I was excited to see my mia-maids! They are so fun to be around and they are some of the nicest girls, they always ask me how life is, work and my dance girls! I am shocked by how marvelous these woman are! I feel spoiled by being their leader!
But, when I walked in three of my girls came up to me and told me how sad they were for the last few times I hadn't been there! It made me happy to know they do like me! We have one girl named Marie, she lives next to us actually on 4600. I don't think her parents are active but she has come every week since I have been put in miamaids, she always says to me that she thinks its so cool I am her leader! She doesn't go to the same schools as the other girls, so I can imagine how that might be hard for her to come to everything like she does, but then again the other girls are very friendly to her!
I also love the new curriculum that the church started for the youth it makes it fun for me to learn and easier to teach! I wish they would of had it 2 years ago when I was a laurel!
I love the life I have right now!
I married the studliest man!
Nala, is the funnest hyper dog known to man she is spoiled rotten!!
I love the relationship I have with my mom!
I love that I get to serve in the Young Womans!
I love that I have a husband who will spend hours just to change the paint in half my house!
I just am in love with everything...
welp, nothing good happens after midnight..and well Kelly finally woke up! He fell asleep with a cough drop in his mouth! I am glad he didn't choke!
Goodnight!
