I was convinced I'd stick to tumblr and never create a blog elsewhere, but alas... All you people with blogs I want to follow and keep in touch with are on here! So this is the easiest way to keep track of all of them, I think. (:
So to start things off, I'm Kelsey! Spent the first three years of my life in the Provo area, then off to Maine for 12.5 years, and back to Utah, this time in Murray. (: I love it here. I've spent the last two years at BYU, and I loved it sooo much! I've met SO many amazing people, I can't even begin to describe how amazing my life is. But sadly, I have to transfer to Utah State next year, since it is the only school in the state that offers a degree in Music Therapy. However, I'm super stoked to finally get into my major! I'll be there at least three years, hopefully not much longer; I really don't want to spend the rest of my life trying to pay for college :P I've managed to get by without any student loans so far, though!
I really feel like I'm rambling. I guess that's what blogs are all about though, huh? I'll probs still ramble a bit on my tumblr, but it's mostly reblogs anyway, haha. Which bytheway, if you ever wanna stalk me on there the url is pianobelt.tumblr.com. Yeah, I'm not very original, I know. (: I just really love my piano belt! And it's definitely one of my distinguishing features that people know me by. Such as the random guy I worked with at football games that I talked to probably three times, who knows Mike from Germany and Rin from.. the business program I think? Haha well he remembered me from that anyway. So it's kinda cool.
Reason news in my life: one of my best friends, Chelsey, got married Friday... Don't get me wrong, I'm SUPER happy for her! He's seriously perfect for her, and they're so happy together it's incredible. But it's just weird. Just like I've never had anybody super close to me die (*knock on wood*), I've never had anybody super close to me get married, either. Well, until now. I've discovered over the years that I really don't care for change too much. And this is definitely change. Things are just different when you're married. I mean, granted, I'm moving two hours away anyway, but still, I feel like we won't be as close anymore. Which actually makes me really sad. I love the girl to death. But her wedding was fantastic! Okay, so I wasn't actually in the sealing room for the actual wedding, but the pictures, luncheon, and reception all went amazingly well. And she was ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS. Seriously, I don't know why that girl never likes to get dressed up or wear make-up or any of that, because she was stunning. And I definitely take credit for finding the dress. (: It was perfect for her. Simple enough that it wasn't too over-the-top (which is so not her anyway), yet elegant and gorgeous at the same time! She's just so pretty. Ahh I love her so much!
I really should go to bed. It's 1am. I've stopped working my crazy 10pm-2am shift, which I've had for the past almost two years, so normal sleeping hours are going to take some adjusting to, but nothing will change if I don't try! So to bed I go. Ideally, I'd like to go to bed by 12 every night and be up by 8 so I can go walking con mia madre, and not become a lazy bum this summer :P
I'll end with this thought. I've been reading through the conference issue of the Ensign from the Conference this past October, and I seriously love reading the words of the apostles and prophets! I really wish I had been better about reading these the past 6 months. As soon as I finish them, I'm going to start on the issue from this month and read all the talks from April. I'm really excited for it, because I had a lot of thoughts and ideas of how to help my brother come back to church. He hasn't been for a little over a year, other than a handful of times for various reasons. I know he knows it's true, deep down, but he's just a stubborn little 17-year-old teenage boy who doesn't want to sit through three hours of hearing the same things he's heard all his life. (That's what I gather from when I've talked to him about it.) But after watching conference and attending the last session, I was really optimistic about it! I feel like being home this summer for the first time since I left for college is really going to help. I hope there's something I can do to let him see that the Gospel is the most amazing thing in my life and that he can be a part of it, too! No matter what he's done, we still love him, and he CAN come back. The Lord welcomes him with open arms, as do we. (:
