I adore...

This boy:

And I miss him horribly! But he is doing great on the mission and not too much longer left. Yahoo! Only about 9 more months. It's going so fast all of the sudden, but seems so far away at the same time. He is just my best friend in this whole world and I can hardly stand it any more. But no worries, HE is doing so great and working his little bum off. In his last letter he told me that he hopes by the end of his mission he will be so dead tired and completely worn out. That he only has 24 months to serve a mission and the lord has his whole heart right now. What a great guy.

Happy Birthday Twins!!

Dear Twins,

Happy stinkin birthday! I am so glad we are roomies and great friends. Thanks for always being there for me, listening to me cry..a little too much, listening to tyface stories, sharing your yogurts, taking care of me when I was sick....alot, late night sneak outs, getting annoyed with me about the dishes not getting done, hearing out all my crazy ideas and opinions, inviting me to Sweden, cleaning up my judd, laughing at my not so funny jokes, keeping me entertained with your stories, going on crazy adventures like the Flatts, helping me with all my stuff when I was on crutches, making me laugh til I wanna pee my panties, getting annoyed with school with me, showing me what a good runner really is, pushing me through the missionary phases, being examples to me, having the witty personalities that you do, doing my hair like a billion times, and the list could go on and on.

I hope your birthdays are a great one! You guys deserve it. I love your faces so much and I am so glad we are friends and roomies. Never forget it and remember how great you both really are.

Love Cheltz

Semi on my high horse...

Ok so can I semi be on my high horse about this...? LOVED The Office Season opener and hope everyone got a chance to watch. But with The Office being so big now, can I just say that I was, not even kidding, one of the ORIGINAL (hahah) followers. I became like a MISSIONARY, a Saint if I may, of The Office. Converting all, especially in my time of illness to this wonderous, and might I add brilliant show. The conversion and spreading of The Office movement started with the parentals and then I made so many come and watch it with me....partly against their will and now they are fans. So it is just one of those things that I feel strongly that people should know...that I was one of the originals of the show. This also happened with Napoleon Dynamite....and now would you look at it? Everyone hated it at first and I loved it in the beginning...now I hate it. Ugghhh....I must say, Kristi Wilson did I believe start the Office love before I did. I will hand it to her and only her.

I think I am busy...?

I decided I am really busy. Taking 17 credits, working about 25-30 hours a week, Ambassadors, studying, church stuff, and wow...imagine sleeping! I am running out of hours in my day. I sincerely apologize to anyone who texts or calls me. I usually don't get back with you for like a week. But I really do think of you! Promise promise, and my intentions are good.

K wait, can I just tell you my good news?! I have gotten really good grades this semester which is a pay off I guess....complete turn around from last year when I could hardly get OUT of bed to get good grades. Bah, my health is so much better and I am so grateful. One more semester of pre-req's before I can apply! Wish me luck :).

Classically Funny.

This is my brother today:


This I found on my computer of him probably when he was eight and I seriously could not even handle myself. Is this not the funniest thing you have ever seen? Especially if you know him. Then it is ten times funnier. Enjoy.

Another reason I love 4 year olds....

Tonight was the rodeo and as tradish goes, me, Linds, and Linnea put our hair in ba-raids, got in our most cow-girlish stuff and headed off. Love the Dixie Sun Bowl and the severely uncomfortable cement seating. But much to our enjoyment we met this little stud:



This is Eric. The 4 year old who had a HUGE crush on linds. He loves the women and kept us SO entertained and had to be one of the cutest little boys ever in his little Wranglers, cowboy boots, and button down. Here is the funniest video of him dancing. He said he loves to dance for girls! HA!



We had a great time! Just another great year at the Rodeo! :)
