i know that i said like FOREVER ago that i was going to update my Trek experience right? Yeah well obviously that didn't happen, because i have stupid internet at my house that doesn't allow me to add pictures or even type up a blog. lame, i know.
so here goes. I am going to attempt one more time to upload pictures. But as for the Trek update? Well there wont be one. You see, since blogger is been so dumb and hasn't let me share my fantastic trek memories with you people, i have forgotten my experiences from where i left off on my last blog, and it is so sad becuase i know there were some pretty fantastic stories that happend, but me being me, has a slight case of short term memory and cant remember all the fun I had.
But if i happen to get a random thought, i will run to the computer to share it with you!
not that anyone reads my blog anyways, but eh, its here so i might as well use it right?
so i shall now leave you with some pictures of TREK!
(if it works)
ok yet again..............................it didnt work!
i think blogger just hates me.
so no pictures
maybe some other day when blogger decides to let me do my thing.
sorry guys

trek!
so two weeks ago my stake went to trek. well i have to say in the beginning i was not thrilled in the least, but as soon as i got up there and experienced the whole thing, i didn't want to leave! I was so afraid to go back and face the world of cell phones, computers, work, and TV. i just wanted to stay as long as i could, but of course if i had stayed i would've been in the wilderness all by myself.......not so good.
so the first day we all woke up at 4:30 and left the church at abbout 5:00, and it was seven hours of singing and laughing and games from then on out, and i couldn't escape for a wink of sleep.
so we finally arrived at Martins Cove. we got off the bus, got out handcarts, and were off! off to the dusty sandy steep, up-hill, down-hill, trail. the first part of the trail was only 3 miles, so not to bad. when we finally arrived at our camp, the wind started tp pick up.......not good.
we decided to set up our tents anyways. well we were doing good, got it all set up, and started putting our bedding in.
well everyone decided that it would be a good idea to leave the tent except for me.
well i was so happy that i would finally get to take my shoes off and relax a little bit after that annoying bus ride, but the wind didn't agree with me. i was sitting in the corner by the window, putting my lovely pillow down, and all of the sudden i hear something snap!, and before i knew it the tent had collapsed on me! i was screamin so loud i probably pearced everyones ears. i couldn't find a way out, and i didn't know what to do. so i just sat there like a lamo. but finally the wind stopped for just enough time that i could get out safely.
looong story short, we finally got the tent set up again with a little help from Duct Tape!
next day we woke up at 5:45 and were off again. this day we went through martins cove, and did the river crossing, but of course, me being lucky again, got heat exhaustion from going through martins cove, so they gave me "Gu" its' this nasty "gooey" packet that you have to sqeeze out of a packet. the best way i can describe this nastyness, is to have you all imagine, lets say, easy cheese. runny goopy easy cheese. squeezing it into your mouth and forcing yourself to swallow it.
YUCK!
anyways, so i slurrped that baby down, and of course lucky me, got even more sick!
so me and my pa walked 3 miles back to the visiting center and sat in the nice air conditioned room. ah loverly.
then we waited for the others to come back. then we hopped on the bus and headed 2 hours south to another camp site.
then we walked 6 miles the next day, and also did the womans pull. i unfortunatly didn't participate in the womans pull, although i really wish i could've becuase i heard so many great things about it.
so i rode in the Medical Car! yes the medical car. i did meet some rather nice children though. i met a little boy cayden, who had the flu and had thrown up in his tent early that day, little miss chelsea, how wouldn't give me a ligit reason for being there. they were both in the same ward, along with the medical car driver. so we were all ready to go, when the medical dude had to make an emergency run up the mountain because some kid sat in a cactus! yes you heard me, a freakin cactus!
so from a distance i see this little boy wobbeling down the hill. he finally get's into the car and i couldn't help but laugh! i am a horrible person, and i laugh at pain.
so we get talking, and he is in the same ward as the other two kids! all i could think to myself is "wow this ward needs it's own medical wing in the hospital!"
so we headed back to the medical trailer where the medical man took out the little buggers out of his bum.
but i am going to leave this post right here, to give your eyes a break. cause i bet they need one.
and i will leave you with some pictures.
i will post more later
well actually i take that back
blogger wont let me add any pictures at this moment in time, so i will post them later too!

Graduation
ok guys i graduated! finally after 12 long years i am done with highschool! and man does it feel great! i just love it! but sad enough to say i almost had to repeat my senior year. now don't go thinking that i am some horrble lazy person (although i am not gonna lie i did have a pretty simple senior year and didn't enjoy the work so i didn't always do it until the very last minute) because that isn't the case. you see i had decent grades in all my classes except ENGLISH! yuck i so disliked me teacher. let me describe her for you. tall manly mullet with elephantitis and berkinstocks. hopefully you can imagine this.
anyways she gave me and F the whole semester i had done the work......grrr it makes me mad just thinking about it. but long story short, i passed the class and i am now graduated!!!
so YAY for me!
now off to college :D
ok ok ok, so have you heard of Facebook? well i must admit that i am now addicted to this little social network. my life basically revolves around it. I had a life until Facbook ate it. haha. well it has gotten so bad that i check it every chance i get, to see if i have a new friends or just to take a quiz that my friend has challenged me to.
i am warning you now. if you don't have a facebook, don't start! it is an addiction that is hard to break.
i leave you with these words of wisdom, hopeing that you listen and fallow.
farewell i'm off to facebook!

MORP
Alright so this Saturday was MORP and i have to say it was pretty dang fun!
We went bowling and i scored a pathetic 41 yeah i know what your thinking i am horrible haha. he of course scored 113 what a champ.
then we headed of for the Olive Garden DiLICOUS! we were having such a great time talking and playing footsy (just kidding) when all of a sudden he throws some ice at me. ok who throws ice at someone in the Olive Garden is my question. But i went along with it and threw it back, forgetting of course how bad my aim is.
i bet you can tell where this story is going.
well yeah i didn't hit him i hit the lady behind him! all i could do was slouch down in my seat and turn red while thinking about dumb and dumber when harry throws the salt over his shoulder and it hits that tuff guy. Whoa!
anways we headed to the dance and had a good time and went to leatherheads afterwards. the movie was alright kind of confusing but if you are into the 1920's and football i would highly recomend it.
all in all it was a great night and i had a blast with the funnest kid ever.
and i know it has been forever since i blogged last but i finallyhad something to blog about!
now i just need more exciting stuff to happen in my life and i would blog alot more lol
well that is all i have to say
enjoy!
oh and by the way the theme was 50's so he was a greaser and i was the girlfriend haha
the picture isn't that great but it will have to do.

eyelashes
ok ok ok so there are those few people in the world who have amazing eyelashes and don't have to wear mascara because they are naturally dark and long and thick right? yes it is true, but there is this one person i know (me) who's eyelashes suck...
well they are thin and blonde and kind of a medium length i suppose. but anyways in order to get my eyelashes looking somewhat good i have to use 3 different mascaras! can you beleive it>? 3, 1 to make them look long, 1 to make them look thick, and 1 to seperate my eyelashes when they get all stuck together! it is ridiculous and i have used almost every mascara that is out there including the ones that we sell at hairmax and none of them seem to help.
but the time has come!
i walked into neighborhood walmart and remembered that i needed to get all my mascaras again because i had run out.
when i turned to grab the variety of them i saw something that caught my eye.
it was bright orange and was in a bigger tube, and i thought to myself.."should i try it?" so i did. i took it off it's little hook and ran to the register to pay for it because it thrilled me that there was a new mascara out there!
so i get home and i am franticaly opening it and i am applying it to my eyelashes, and i love it!
it is amazing and i will never switch from it. it lengthens seperates and gives actual color to my eyelashes!
if any of you are like me and suffer from horrible eyelashes you need to try this mascara! it has changed my life for the better!

My True Color is...
Kelsie, your true color is Brown!
You're brown, a credible, stable color that's reminiscent of fine wood, rich leather, and wistful melancholy. Most likely, you're a logical, practical person ruled more by your head than your heart. With your inquisitive mind and insatiable curiosity, you're probably a great problem solver. And you always gather all of the facts before coming to a timely, informed decision. Easily intrigued, you're constantly finding new ways to challenge your mind, whether it's by reading the newspaper, playing a trivia game, or composing a piece of music. Brown is an impartial, neutral color, which means you tend to see the difference between fact and opinion easily and are open to many points of view. Trustworthy and steady, you really are a brown at heart.
my cousin had this on her blog and it looked pretty interesting so i thought i would test it out... turns out most of the stuff it says about me isn't so true but that's alright.
If you want to take this test i am sorry, i don't know how to put links in or anything, i'm not what you would call computer savvy. but the test is on Tickle.com if you want to try it out.
