1. I think it would be cool to write a book. I have been toying with the idea for a while. I read several book blogs by authors I love, I just don't have any ideas of what story to tell. I just know that I love telling stories, they just tend to be other people's stories.
2. I am a published poet. I like to write poetry and have several scraps of paper with little lines that I want to work into a poem.
3. I love my extended family. I love my fremily and friend. I want them all to come to my reception. I have no desire to have any of them at my actual wedding. The only people I want there are my mom and dad, my older brother and his wife Jason and Velika, and my younger brothers Kenyon and Jarom (Jarom unfortunately can't come because he is on a mission, which is okay). I might make an exception for a close friend or two, who are close to me like sisters (you know who you are), but other than that, I noone else. My only defense is that Austin's family can't be in the temple and he doesn't really care if anyone comes for him.
4. Austin and I were thinking of eloping and just having the reception on January 2nd. Don't worry it would be to the temple. Unfortuately it doesn't appear that that will be an option, in fact December 30th is looking a little dicey too.
5. I never wanted to move back to Arizona when I graduated from BYU. I was thinking more along the lines of Massachusettes, but Heavenly Father had a different plan for me. I still want to move away from the western United States for a while. I have been here most of my life and have discovered in the times that I have been away that I really enjoy having seasons.
6. I want to get my PhD. There is no reason for this other than I want to be called Dr. Kelsi. I think it sounds so sophisticated, yet approachable. I like to learn new things and do research as well, which are problably better reasons to get a doctorate degree than just the title, but the title is pretty cool too.
7. I am lonely much of the time. I suppose this is my fault, but when I move back to Thatcher, the people that were here before were mostly gone and most of the YSA that I could hang out with just graduated from high school and have different things that are imprtant to them and being from a small town, the clicks were already established. I just didn't want to break the mold I guess, so I turned to books.
8. My first name came from a billboard on the side of the road for a grocery store chain that has since bit the dust. There was a store in Mesa for a while that my mom went shopping at a couple of times when I was a little girl. The chain name was spelled differently (Kelsey's), but yep, I was named after a billboard.
9. When I see a really nice car, I tend to drool. It doesn't matter, the make or model, but I drool. I tend to claw my window if a lifted truck with good exhaust goes by (ask Lisa, she has witnessed this behavior). I like classic cars better than newer ones, and prefer Fords and Cheveys to Dodges on trucks. I want a 60's era Mustang and Corvette. I already have a good truck (well almost).
10. I have the hardest time saying that I am going to do something and then doing it. This is more of a personal problem, like saying to myself, "I'll do the dishes today," and then actually doing the dishes. If I am accontable to another person it is a different story, I'm there, I'll do it, it is just with myself that I have this problem.

I'll call you Dr. Kelsi, even if you never get a Phd. I have to admit something since reading your honesty bit. I know we aren't close anymore, but during the time that we were visiting teaching companions, 4 or 5 years ago (yikes), you were a life saver to me! I was going through a rough time spirtually then, and you were the candle that kept my fire going. You always got me laughing and helped me feel the spirit through your kindness. I wish I had been better friends with you in high school, but I was such a follower then that I couldn't see all the wonderful people like you that I could have been better friends with. Although we aren't good friends anymore, I will always count you as a friend. Thank you for being you!
THANKS! I just am finishing up my "acceptance blog post" love you. I would like to hear more about the upcoming wedding. :)
my spam word was ratinpo what do you read that as? I read a rat in poo, groosssss. :P
Hey, married Kelsi! I wanted to come see you when you came out of the temple or come to your reception or something, but I've had a really bad sinuous infection. I hope your big day was as sweet as you are! (that sounded cheesy, but i relly mean that)
Dear Kelsi...
When are you going to update this little blog about things like YOUR WEDDING! Miss you!
Love.Somer.
