You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have...

Let's Play Catch Up!

Happy day to you all!

I was recently looking through my past posts here on the 'ole blog, and realized that I haven't really said much about what else is going on in Kellee's World besides my adventures in Mexico....so I thought I would blog today about random things going on. It may seem a bit boring...but humor me by reading on.

Shelbey recently went to the Snowfest dance at her high school. She looked very pretty in her sparklie pink dress and it brings back all those memories of the all important dances. I know i have said this before, but I can remember (like it was just yesterday) that we were getting her ready for the "Daddy/Daughter Dance". I seriously don't know where the time has gone?? Shelbey has also taken an interest in getting back into gymnastics. That's very exciting!! I love to watch her flip/flop all over the place. She is just 3 months shy of completing her first high school year and it feels like a big burst of wind just whipped by me and then it was gone. Oh my, I'm feeling the empty nest syndrome a bit early....I better move on to the next subject...

Ian is starting the immigration process so we can get his handsome mug here for GOOD! It is a lengthy process and not for the impatient. We are hoping he will be here by the first of next year, but until then we rely on phone calls, text messages and frequent visits. Being the control freak I am, I continuously have to tell myself that it will all be worth it in then end. So, we just hurry up and wait.

We are "re-doing" the bathroom in the house. Ian will be down soon and he is going to tackle that project and hopefully it will be done by the time he leaves. I would love to help him, however, I would rather watch grass grow than paint ANYTHING! So, I get to stand back and be the foreman...I've been told I'm pretty good at giving orders. HA! :)

I guess I need to give updates on my addiction..."Reality Shows"! First of all...The Bachelor. I was in Mexico when that drama went down so I didn't watch it. But the suspense got the best of me so I had to call Shelbey and my mom to get the scoop. I was SHOCKED! And so mad I didn't get to watch it. I only have one comment on that whole escapade....He should have picked Jillian. Now onto Dancing With the Stars...I love this show. It sucks me in with the best of them!! I have my fav's and that would be the gymnast Shawn Johnson and The Bachelor "reject" (as they call her) Melissa Rycroft. Can't wait to see who wins. But I can say that I think the dancer Julianne Hough is awesome! Some girls were just born with glitter in their veins. Now, we just have to get through all the stars that have 2 left feet to get kicked off. So again, we hurry up and wait.

I have not been keeping up on American Idol this season, thank goodness because I would find myself flipping back and forth and that is too much TV stress. But, I do watch a TV show called Intervention. What a great show. I am a VERY Naive person, and it gives me some insight on what REALLY goes on out there. It's not for everyone, but if you haven't seen an episode, maybe you should. It's definitely an eye opener.

My family is doing good. All the nieces and nephews are getting big and blooming into their own personalities. My niece Avery just turned 1 and she is soooo cute! My nephew Collin has been through some recent illness but seems to be trooping through. All in all, things are good.

Well, I will stop babbling on...and I hope everyone is well and gearing up for warmer weather. Take care. XOXO

Back To Reality...

Well...after a 3 hour flight heading north, landing in a much colder climate, and watching my tanned skin quickly shed away I realized it was back to reality for me.

We had a wonderful time in Mexico and I am here to tell you that I have never been on a vacation for 2 weeks, but now that I have....it is the only way to go! We met alot of great people and walked some gorgeous beaches. Ian took me to some neat places I dont think I would have went to if it were not for him. Im kind of a leary person and he opened my eyes to somethings and made me realize how beautiful the world can be. Thanks baby!! XOXOXO!!!

Now that I am back, it is back to work and back to everyday life. But I can say that I was happy to see the grass when we pulled into our driveway!!! Take care.
