In the Sky

Today, mom and I traveled home from Utah. The trip to Utah was so much fun and I am pleased with my audition for BYU. We rested a lot at Grandma’s house and were able to visit with the Heaton's, which was all fun.

One of my very favorite parts of traveling though, is the airplane ride. Unlike Shari (who is terrified of plane rides), I love being in the sky, seeing the clouds below me and having the thrill of being 30,000 feet above the ground.

Today, when the plane took off from Salt Lake, we saw the most amazing sight! There was fog everywhere but once we were over the clouds we saw the fog surrounding the snow-covered mountains. It was sooooo gorgeous! I wish I could have taken a picture, but I didn’t have my camera with me, but it looked almost exactly like this

Isn’t it so pretty? I could have looked at  it forever! I love how the world looks from the sky!

Love,

My Favorite Thing

Okay, so with my theme “Create” for 2011, one thing I’ve been working on is creating new hairstyles, to break out of pulling my hair up in a ponytail almost every day. And for Christmas, one gift I received was these awesome (Pink!) hot curlers, which I loooove using now! My new favorite thing is having some awesome curls!

Eeeeee! My hair never looks like that, and it’s so cool! I finally can have curls like Whitney and Shari, it’s so exciting!

Foundation For A Better Life

Ever heard of this organization? I absolutely Love them, they do such amazing things worldwide. They do food drives for third world countries and write “GoodNews Letters” about amazing things happening all around the world. My favorite part of their organization though is their “Pass it On” billboards and commercials. They advertise good morals like honesty and integrity. How awesome is that?

Here is their latest commercial:

How cool that they work so hard to promote something so good. If you want to check out their website, its:  http://www.values.com/ .

So You Think You Can Dance

Ever seen the show? It’s awesome! Lately, I’ve had the song “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles stuck in my head, and they did an amazing dance to it a few seasons ago. They guy looks so evil in it, don’t you think? It’s so intense!

By the way, it’s about addiction, which I think makes it all the more intense. So cool!

 

Oh, my other Sara Bareilles song I’m just in love with is “King of Anything”  This one has a much happier beat to it :)

An Oceanside Sunset

On Tuesday night, Dad, Shari, Mike, Emily, Neil and I were all able to go to Oceanside and watch the sunset which was sooo beautiful!

I was able to get some pictures down on the shore while Dad and I were waiting for the others.

This one is my favorite :)

 

I don’t know who the couple down on the shore in this picture were, but I think they made the picture especially cute.

 

After Shari and Mike and Neil and Emily got there we went up on the pier.

 

The boys :)

This picture of Shari turned out sooo cool!

I like all the cute lamps that go all the way down the pier.

After taking some pictures, we went to Ruby’s Diner for dinner, which was on the pier and surrounded by windows so we could see out to the ocean. It was really cool and the food was delicious! It was such a cute little diner!

It was such a fun night and I loved getting to play with my new camera and hang out with the Satkos and Robisons.

Love,

Into the Unknown

Well, what a roller coaster this last semester has been. I started out with marching band as section leader and three AP classes, which fibromyalgia ended all too abruptly. Mid-semester I switched into an independent study program, which is still AP but now I only have two classes. In general, it’s still been very difficult. Switching out of school was a huge transition, that really, no one ever heard about. To my teachers and friends, I was there one day and gone the next. It was a hard transition getting to be with friends 24/7 to being by myself almost all day every day. It was hard being lonely.

Now, the new semester begins, and I have no idea what to expect. I’m not sure if I will be allowed to stay in the independent study program I’m in, and there are still so many variables that are unknown. What happens with college, music auditions, getting caught up with semester one, finding a way to start semester two? All I can know is that thee Lord has a plan for me. He has a way that everything will be okay, even though so much feels wrong. I can trust that even if things don’t work out the way I planned, they will happen exactly the way they are supposed to.

Love,

Chelsey

Picture of the Day

I was going through my pictures last night and thought this one was really cool. Plus Whitney looks so pretty! Is there anything better than an ocean sunset? Aaaahhhh.
