Grand.

First item of business:
Happy 1-year anniversary to the blog.
It's been a grand year full of many sick times and post-worthy events.
Hopefully there are many more to come.

Second item of business:
I'm sorry I haven't blogged much.
I've been so busy with work and play,
I haven't even had time to take pictures.
Shocking, I know.
Usually i'm all over that.
I've been too busy playing soccer and flag football and swimming and hitting some sand volleyball,
I haven't had time to whip out the cam.
But here's one of the grand times we had last week.
I went with the South Dakota kids (Abs and Ben and Issac and Ash),
To Krave.
Saw Davis and Alexa.
It was grand indeed. :]

Third item of business:
Sunday I went to the Grand Canyon with the family.
Minus Brad.
It was extremely grand.
Windy.
But what a beaut.
Good times at the Canyon.

More summer adventures to follow. :]
..chelle..

First.

My first week of summer consisted of:
*Watching the first season of Lie To Me
*Unpacking (eff this! it takes SO long!)
*Going to the siblings various sporting events....
*31 cent scoop night at good old BR
*Hanging with Ashley. You obviously know that we are in college. Want to know why? We started Ocean's Eleven at 10:30 promptly...by 11 Ash says I was asleep. She followed me shortly after. We didn't even wake up until the movie was over for a long time. Yeesh.
*Talks with Mary and Ash.
*A crazy date with Mike
*Easter
*VEGAS with the father and the Brooklyn
*Seeing Scott after coming home from his MISSION! :]
*Catching up with Alex Hoskins

And that's it.
Oh.
Wait.....
* WORKING 43 HOURS

Yeesh.
I can't complain.
I need the money.
Maybe one day when I'm not so tired, I'll blog about my job.
Cause it is pretty awesome.
But not for now.
Happy Saturday.
Enjoy some photography.

Bruddah.

My wittwe bwothew turned 17 yesterday.
This makes me....
OLD!
He's going to be an ADULT next year.
And i'll be 19 in 3 months.
Holy cow.
I don't wanna grow up.

Anyways.
Brad is great.
I miss his Chellie voice and his massive hugs every time I walk in the door.
And fighting over the car is great too.
Nah.
Ever since i've gone to college,
We've gotten along so much better.
Cause.
Let's be honest.
I miss him.
So.
In the spirit of missing him,
I actually like hanging with him when I'm home.

This picture is SO old. Ha.

Happy Birthday Brad.
Go kiss someone for me.
Just kidding.
You're awesome.
I love you.

This girl goes home in 9 days....
Can you believe it???
..chelle..

Mom.

Happy birthday to the greatest mom in the world.

She's the pretty one in the purple.
I love my mother.
So much.
She seriously is my best friend.
I can talk to her about anything and everything.
And we laugh.
A lot.
And she's the only one who can make fun of my past weirdness.
And boyfriends.
And misfortunes.
She is such a strength in my life.
I don't know what I would do without her.
I miss her so much, and I only live 325 miles away.
We talk almost every day.
I wish I could be there for her big day.
But alas.
College calls.

Happy 47th Mommy.
I love you so much.
Thank you for being my best friend.
I'll see you soon.

Presidents.

So.
Not by choice, I ended up at home this weekend.
Wanna know why?
My parents decided to take off to Hawaii...
Without my siblings and me.
So.
What am I doing in the good old STG?
Babysitting.
I was quite frustrated with this at the beginning.
But.
I figured it was a $500 that was DESPERATELY needed.
Now,
I'm glad I came.
It was fun to hang with the family.
And the extended family.
But mostly,
It was fun to hang with this beauty this entire weekend.
She's my best friend.
And I miss her terribly.

Only 8 more weeks of Freshman year...
Bring it on. :]
..chelle..

Superbowl.

Last Friday's conversation:


Me: "Hi Mom, how's it going?"
Mom: "Good. So what are your plans this weekend?"
Me: "Uh....just chillin with the crew. Why?"
Mom: "So, you have no set plans?"
Me: "Uh....yeah. Mom, is Dad coming up or something? Cause i'll totally chill with him."
Mom: "Yeah. Something like that. So do you have any test this week?"
Me: "Mom, what is this?"
Mom: "What if you were to fly somewhere this weekend and wouldn't be back until Tuesday?"
Me: "I'm down. Where?"
Mom: "Uhh...."

So.
She leaves me hanging.
So I guess....

Me: "Dallas?"

And then it hits me.

Me: "WE'RE GOING TO THE SUPERBOWL?!?!?!?!?!"
Mom: "Yeahhhhhh."

Heck.
Yes.
My uncle has some major hookups.
And the next thing I know, i'm in Dallas.
Watching the Superbowl.
And partying like a rock star.
SO amazing.
Worth everything and anything.
And it makes up for no "significant other" over Valentine's Day.

The sibs came with me...aren't they hot?

Adam Levine and Maroon 5 were there too. No worries.

And.
The Packers won.
Such a solid game.

Happy Wednesday.
..chelle..

2011.

Wow.
Can you say 2011?
I.
AM.
OLD!
But.
I can't complain.
This has got to be the best year there was. :]
I'm overjoyed with its activities and events.

To 2010, thanks for the memories.
Best year yet.
To 2011, bring it.
I'm so ready.

Happy New Year folks.
