"God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers." -- Jewish proverb
This post is for my Mommy-
Last Monday my mother was diagnosed with Colon Cancer. Today she went in for surgery where they removed half of her colon and the infected lymph nodes. We will know more about her condition on Friday, but with a lot of prayer and hope, we believe she will be just fine! She is doing well since the surgery earlier today. She is just tired ans sore. We are hopeful based on the information from the Dr.'s that it has not spread anymore.
I will continue to keep everyone updated.
Mommy I love you so much and wish I could be there with you! I think you are very strong and very brave. I am praying that you will be back to your normal self in time for the Holiday's. We love you so much!!!!! Hang in there! I can't wait to see you at Thanksgiving.

Manic Monday and more....
Hello all!
It has been quite a while since I have updated, so I thought I should!
School: is going GREAT!!! I really feel like teaching is what I was born to do! I have A's in both of my classes which is such a good feeling! I have actually been writing real Texas Public School approved lesson plans which is an even better feeling!! Callie has been so helpful since she is doing her student teaching right now, she has been sending me her lesson plans for me to keep in a file for when I start doing mine!
Work: Has been BUSY!!! All three boys are home! My boss withdrew the older two boys from school since the swine flu epidemic. (13 percent death rate for pregnant women) They are home until they get vaccinated, and let me tell you, three boys are a handful!! I also may be taking on a second job soon to help me pay for my new apartment since Christopher's sister decided she hates Dallas...(HOW COULD ANYONE HATE DALLAS!!!!) and of course I am giving her her room back.
Tap Class: Is super HARD!!! But I am hanging in there! MUCHO thanks to Lindsey for helping me on my pull backs last weekend...hopefully I will be doing them like a pro in no time! Okay so now that you have all been filled in on my life here....here are some pics and an update on my last couple trips home: Okay so my first trip home started off okay. Matt was so excited when I got in...he didn't want me to put him down!! He also walked around in my red converse sneakers and green socks (pretty much all weekend) saying "My red Chucks!!"
So my second day there I started feeling SOOO ill. I saw Anna, Lex, and Lu in their adorable play (they all three did awesome!)
The rest of the weekend I stayed home dragging myself around... Matty was taking care of me. He brought me the stuffed Giraffe I gave him and some "wankits" (blankets) to to make me feel better!
Finally feeling better last weekend I went home again for a "redo" trip and to see an ear nose and throat specialist...I may have to have a minor surgery over Christmas Break.
Friday Night: I stayed in with my family. Matt walked around in "his chucks" again...I really need to get him some...he's obsessed!!!!
Saturday Morning: Matt and Mom and I went to get donuts....Matt decided to drive my car...
Later that day: I went shopping for homecoming dresses with Anna, Lex and Lu. Anna and Lex are going soon! Then we went to my FAVORITE pizza place of all time! I am missing Pastazio's and those girls like crazy!!
Sadly I cracked the screen on my new phone that night boo! But we still had a ton of fun!!!
All day Sunday: I hung out with the fam..
Breakfast with Katie and Allison.
Matty eating his Halloween cupcake!!!!
Oh and I had lunch with my Michelle....Sadly I forgot to get a pic!
Sunday Night: I went out with Lindsey. LONG night. She dressed me up at her place. We had some wine and she helped me on my pullbacks...and then after a quick...ish pit stop at Target we headed out to West End...where Lindsey totally made me sing Kereoke with her "Manic Monday!" ...then some chick made me get up BY MYSELF to sing "Oops I did it again!!!!" EMBARRASSING!!! Though Linds made me feel better by doing the dance from the music video!
So sadly...Lindsey lost her keys....somewhere...somehow during the night. So....we got back to her apartment and I called a locksmith and we had to wait....and wait....and wait....until about 4 a.m. for a locksmith to show. FINALLY we got in..
So I got like no sleep and had a VERY early lunch with my little toothless friend Cleo at her school.
So it truly was a Manic Monday!!! I had a nap after my Dr. Apt. and CT scan. Had a yummy dinner with the family and drove home..
Thats it for now. Hope all is well with every one!!!
Peace and Love!

My New Home
Hello all. I am finally writing to to inform everyone on how my move is going. I have been officially here for the last two weeks, and things have been up and down.
I started my classes, which I LOVE. My teachers are great, and it is so nice to finally be talking about things that apply to my major! I love it.
I am also taking a tap class on Monday nights which is challenging, but a lot of fun as well.
My new job is great. I am taking care of a three year old boy named Jacques. He is such a cutie. Soon I will be also be watching the new baby (she is due in November with another boy) Jacques also has two older brothers I assist when they get home from school. Billy is 7 and Leo is 5...they are all adorable and I can't wait to meet the new baby.
So the first weekend I was here, Christopher and I met Callie and Cash at their home in League City, and we all (including Chloe, their adorable dog) drove down to Galveston. We had so much fun!! It is soooo nice having them close by!! They are great! We have also hung out with Christopher's cousin and his wife and adorable 8 month old daughter. They are so sweet...they actually invited us to dinner tonight which will be so nice....it has been a stressful weekend!!! Hope everyone at home is well!! Miss you! -Kelly
P.S....enjoy the pictures!!

Getting closer
Well its getting closer. I am officially moving to Houston in 52 days! I have so much to do before then too! I have been so busy working, taking three Summer classes, burning Christopher's Dad's truck.....etc. etc!!!
Oh and I am 22 now! Here are some pics from my birthday....
Christopher took me to the Drive in and mini golf-
The next night was my big party at Pete's Dueling Piano Bar...a lot of fun!
And since then I have gotten a new car. I was using Christopher's Dad's truck but unfortunately it ignited while I was driving on George Bush....
After the Fire
My Beautiful New Car
So I guess you can say I've had my ups and downs! Things are really looking up though!
Until Next time!

New Blog and Tap Show
Hello All-
I ultimately started this Blog to keep in touch with everyone when I make my big move from Dallas to Houston. I will miss all of my friends and the family's I have sat for over the last several years! But as to not start crying I will update you on what has been happening!
Last weekend was my first big tap show! I decided once I move I will continue to tap, since ballet is not an option for my crippled body any longer.
But here are some pictures:
We all had a pretty good time, though I wish my Christopher could have been there.
Anyway, The Semester is officially over, and it is Summer! Until Summer school starts...boo. But every class gets me one step closer to my degree. Okay, well sorry the formatting is all messed up...I'll get the hang of this.....more to come!
