Life is Amazing.....

So right now I am sitting the the Salt Lake International Airport, waiting to fly to Boise to spend Thanksgiving with my dad and my step-mom and I was just thinking about how amazing life really is... I have so much to be thankful for because I have so many things that are AMAZING! Here is a funny video that I thought would make you smile.... its so true, so take some time to be thankful for the things that you have, weather it be advanced technology, AMAZING friends and family, a great school to recieve an education from, a roof over your head and food on your table, just be thankful!! :)

Visiting Home.....

Well it's sunday morning and I am writing this post from the comfort of my home in Utah. Woot! It is always nice to get a break from the stress and insanity of college life and spend some time with my family and friend. Unfortunatly I still have homework.... now that my friend, is the true mark of a college student. You get all excited about having a week off from school, and apparently the teachers do too! The just throw you some extra homework as a "thanksgiving present"... really, if you wanted to give me something to be thankful for you could have left the homework back in Rexburg. O well... moving on.
Yesterday I went to Dani's swim meet up in Bountiful. It was so much fun!! Swimming used to be such a big part of my life and I have basically quit 'cold turkey' due to college responsibilities. I was doing ok with it and then I went to the meet yesterday and realized how much I miss it! I got to the meet around 11 A.M. and we didn't leave until 3 P.M. and I was happy and content the WHOLE time! The sounds, the people, even the smell of the pool were just awesome! I'm definatly going to have to get myself back to swimming in December when the semester ends and I become a workaholic....

Procrastination....

Well, it is almost thanksgiving and I really have no desire to do any homework so I decided to make a blog... Sounded like a good idea at the moment! So we will see how this goes. I'm not really sure what one is supposed to write on a blog, but I think that since this is my first post maybe I'll just introduce myself... because I know that so many of you care :) I am Kelsey, I am 19 years old and am currently a sophomore at BYU-Idaho studing exercise physiology. I don't know what I want to be when I grow up but that is ok. I have great friends and an AMAZING family! I really love to swim, although I sadly have not had the time to do so this semester. I also love running! I ran my first half-marathon in June and my first full marathon in September.. you could definatly consider me addicted to it. I am considering running the salt lake half marathon in April.. that is looking like it will be my next big race. I really enjoy dancing, listening to music, cooking, eating and just having a good time!

I really do have some of the best friends I could ask for! First off is my little sister and my mom, they are so amazing!!This is us after the Pocatello Marathon in September.. Dani and Mom both ran the 5K and did GREAT!!

When I came around the last .2 miles of the race I saw Dani standing on the side waiting for me and she ran the finish with me! By far the best part of the race :)

She is GREAT!!!

This semester I have some awesome roommates, like I always do!! They have come to all my concerts and even dressed up for my halloween concert... they are CHAMPS!! :)

Basically I'm just a girl that is happy to be living the life that I am, and this is my blog. Read it if you want, enjoy it if you want, and if you don't want to, well that is ok too!
