Homesick for London

So I am really missing London. 

I was not having withdrawals when I first cam home for obvious reasons

But now it seriously hurts not knowing when I will go back. 

I don't think you can understand unless you have lived somewhere for a period of time

I really liked Paris, Rome, Ireland but I do not crave them them like I do for London. 

Sometimes When I get up in the morning and go over what I have to do in the day

I imagine what I would be doing if I where in London. 

It would be something like this:

wake up, go on a run in Hyde park, get ready, go exploring. 

Maybe to South Kensington, maybe to Harrods, maybe a walk around Trafalgar square, see Buckingham, maybe shopping on Regency street. 

Maybe all of that in one day. 

Then a play at night. 

Perfection. 

I love London and all of the wonderful things there are to do there

You can never get bored. 

But if I were there today 

I would be one of the hundred of thousands of people camping out to see the 

Royal Wedding. 

Seriously so homesick seeing everything going on there and not being a part. 

I told Mike today that is where he is starting his law career. 

He officially thinks I am crazy. 

Wait till I tell him I am waking up at 2 to see the wedding:)

 

I'll be there in Spirit:)

We Graduated?

This past week our families flew into town to see us walk in graduation. 

But as Mike kept reminding me we were not officially done yet. 

We both have a few more credits that we need to take during spring term. 

However, spring term is only 6 weeks and I think that after graduation this weekend we both kind of checked out. 

In six weeks we 're out of here!

Until then we will be enjoying some of our favorite traditions in Provo for the last time and taking those few credits that we have left till we can say that we are officially graduated. 

Here our some pictures from this past weeks eat-a-thon festivities

10 Months

10 months ago we were married. 

And boy it has sure gone by fast. 

Lets reminisce!

Okay maybe that was not as fun for you as it is was for me. 

It seriously makes me so sad that I can't relive that event and the events surrounding every May.

(Does anyone else feel that way?)

When I think back on our wedding I am filled with every single good emotion!

It makes me smile!

I loved being surrounded by all of the people I love. 

And most of all, I love that I married Michael Brian Kelly.

I am seriously SO smart!

Well at least in that decision:)

Home Alone

So I woke up at 5:40 in the morning to drop this man off. 

(Yes. 5:40. A.M. and I still have not had a DC (yet) today.)

He is leaving me for the weekend. 

Oh and next weekend too. 

And did I mention that these weekends are the Thursday to Monday weekends. 

Which really is more like the weekend + a few days. 

Which is fine.

I mean hello we were on opposite sides of the country for a summer and then in different continents for a few months following. 

So I can handle 5 days. 

But it sure is quite around here. 

And that isn't fun. 

So please hurry back Michael. 

I miss my roommate. 

Also, don't be surprised if I buy a Puggle while you are out to protect me. 

You know those things are fierce.

March 17th

I can't believe that it has been over two and a half years since my accident. 

It was such a crazy time for me and my family. 

I feel like I grew so much and I am so grateful for the blessings that came from my accident. 

For those of you who don't know what I am talking about when I say "accident"

I broke my neck. 

Yes, "be careful or your going to break your neck" is not just an expression. 

I actually did and I have the battle wounds to prove it.

The back scar has really healed up just fine and you can hardly notice it.

But this front scar has turned into a keloid which is not that flattering. 

 

My parents came to me after this started happening and asked me if i wanted to get it taken care of so it was not as noticeable. 

At first, I did not really want to. 

Battle wounds. 

Duh.

But then after random people started asking me in the check out line what happened. 

Or people at parties bring up as a conversation starter, I thought. 

This thing has got to go.

Plus, over the years it has become even worse that it hurts to touch.

So today I saw the doctor to have this bad boy tamed! 

I am so excited!

Because lets face it random grocery store worker

It is kind of an awkward conversation starter. 

"Oh what happened"

"ummm, I broke my neck"

"oh... "

yeah, you didn't see that one coming huh. 

 

So here's to dodging that bullet!

Can I just....

...stay at home all day decorating my house and doing crafts?

I wish!

Martha Stewart's new craft furniture is really making me jealous that I can't.
