My Room!

So, I recently moved back home, and as you can tell from the before pictures, my room had been through a beating! This room was painted for my brothers years ago, then Jami and I shared it for a while, then it was my room during my senior year of high school, which was 2004, so that tells you how long it has been. One of my best friends told me to live up being single, and as part of that, to paint my room any color I wanted. She told me that once you get married it isn't as easy anymore, because you have to take a husband into account at that point, so I decided to listen to her words of wisdom. For those of you who know me well, you know that green is my all time favorite color! Pink is a very close second. Based on those facts, I decided they were the colors I was going to paint my room. I asked my dad if I could paint it, and he said, "Yes." Then my mom said to him, "You know she wants to paint it hot pink and lime green, right?" My dad's response to her was, "I'm not the one who has to live in it!" :)

Don't forget Davey Baby! :)
My nephew was helping me paint my room, and he was using a mini roller, when he accidentally dropped it, and let me tell you that kid has a great imagination! He lookes at the paint splatter on the carpet (that is pictured above) and he said, "Kelli, it looks like a mad face!" I love the mad face on my carpet, and couldn't bring myself to cover it up with any furniture. :)

An update is here!!!

Wowsers time flies by so fast!!! It doesn't help when you work full time and go to school during the summer. Yep, that's what I'm doing this summer! Joy! I have, including this semester, 9 classes left before I can start the last two semesters of student teaching, and then graduation! If all goes well, then I will start that last school year in Fall of 2010, and graduate in Spring 2011. I jammed my summer with three classes (10 credit hours) because I want a free summer next year, to do whatever I want before I start my final year.
One of the classes that I took was about a week and a half ago, and the entire class was given in one week. I was in class from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. for an entire week. I took the week off of work, and just focused on school. It was EXHAUSTING, but 3 credits worth of a class is now behind me! The teacher was amazing, and the people in my class were awesome, so it was worth it for me! I can't guarantee that everyone's teacher would be that good though! :)

So now I have a Special Education class two nights a week, and my Math class, also two nights a week, with about 6 weeks of school left for the summer...then a two week break...then Fall semester begins. School is now my middle name!

I have a few pictures I want to post. The first set are from Memorial Day weekend. This is a BIG holiday at the Searle home, and has been since the day I was born, and is one of my favorites! On Saturday, my parents, siblings, and Grandma Lever drive up to Kaysville to the cemetery where my Grandpa Lever is buried. Sunday we go to the cemetery where my dad's older sister, (who died at a young age) my Grandpa Searle, and now Grandma Searle, along with other relatives are buried. On Memorial Day, my family takes a long trip down to Delta, Utah. My Grandma and Grandpa Searle are both from Delta, so they each have family that is buried down there. Another of my dad's sisters is buried there, Great Granparents, Great Great Grandparents etc. Before my Grandpa Searle died we used to get a lot of my extended family to go, but as the years went on the numbers dwindled, until it was just my immediate family that would go. I honesly don't think I've ever spent Memorial Day in any place other than Delta. My dad is great at keeping up with this tradition, and Jami and I don't let him forget about it either. I love going! So here are some pictures from our Memorial Day weekend:

These are from Grandpa Lever's cemetery.

Cheeseballs...both of them!

Yes I am holding two four year olds. Why? Because if one gets something, then the other has to get it as well, so of course, Aunt Kelli complies, even though it is extremely difficult to hold them both!!

Now we're on to Delta. This is Jami and I in my cute car.

Notice my dad's patriotic shirt!

The next pictures are from a night that Cara, Jenny, and I were a little bored. Have you ever been bored with a camera? Well we went picture crazy!!! It was hard, because is was really dark when we were taking the pictures, so we'd take a picture, look at it, and then see that at least one of us had our eyes closed, so we'd have to take it again. This process repeated itself multiple times. Then Cara wisely asked, "What did we do before the world of digital camera's?" to which I replied, "Had bad pictures!" :) Anyway so here are a couple of our goofy shots:


This is Kelliangelo and Jenatello.

Jenny and I again. We jumped off the porch.

I really like this picture of Cara and Jenny modeling for Vogue!

Update coming soon!!

I promise to have an update within the week! I'll really try! :)

Mr. Wright!!!!!

I've been promising that I'd put up pictures of my newly painted/decorated room, but it's still not quite finished yet. I'll get some pictures when I'm completely done, but in the mean time I wanted to share this...
Ok, so David Wright...I think he is hands down one of the hottest guys I have EVER seen! My older brother Travis is a HUGE Mets fan, and he used to always talk about this "Davey Baby" on the team, but he's always talking sports, so I never thought twice about it. Well, one night, this was over a year and a half ago, maybe longer, but we were watching the home run derby, and David Wright came up to bat...WOWSER! I was smitten instantly, especially by his killer smile! Ok, so this is totally little girlish, stalkerish, I know, but I think he is extremely good looking! If/when my brother reads this he will roll his eyes at me! :)
That's the background info, my point to all of this is that Fox Sports had a Top Ten Sexiest Baseball Player list, and guess who made number 4 on the cut? Mr. Wright! Of course he's my number one, but four isn't bad either! Below the pictures is the quote that they said in the Fox Sports article. It totally sounds like a singles dating website, like you expect his phone number or email address to follow. Too bad! :)

David Wright
We like the 26-year-old third baseman for the Mets because he's refreshingly real. He's the rare superstar talent who remains modest — and yet doesn't lack confidence. Now take into account that he created a namesake foundation to raise money and awareness for MS. And did we mention the 6-foot, 208-pound player is single? And smart? And a dog person? He might not buy into his own hype, but sister, we're sold!

I couldn't resist adding these to my blog! I LOVE the books, and I am still trying to figure out how ANYONE can be on Team Jacob!! Especially you Misty! :) Team Edward ALL THE WAY!!!
