.my.heart.hurts.

and there's a good reason. i guess i didn't realize how much i actually missed my family, and it hit me today when i talked to kacey online and then to my mom on the phone. they're all in brasil right now, and even though my mom is going to be heading home in a little over a week, the rest of them are staying there for a while. i'm thinking that my next BIG trip is going to be to brasil to see them because i miss them a lot, and i can't wait 4 years before i see them. definitely not. anyways, i just needed to get that out there. i hope that you, whoever you are, have a great day.

why can't i breathe whenever i think about you?

so, i've completed the first "week" of classes. i put it in quotes because it wasn't a full week. i have been back in the burg for a week now, and it feels good to be in the place i know God wants me. i'm a little bit intimidated by my classes, but i know that i am doing what God wants me to be doing, so i know that He will give me the strength to do all of the things that i have to for these classes. emily and i are looking forward to playing lacrosse with her junior lacrosse sticks tomorrow. it's going to be pretty great! anyways, i should probably go. we're watching 'how to deal' right now, except that i'm watching it and emily is asleep in her bed...like normal. i'll write more at a later date...

oh man

so, seriously, today was pretty much amazing. we came the rest of the way to virginia and when we got to a certain point, emily and i took the lead. wow is all i have to say about that. we ended up in charlottesville instead of lynchburg because we missed a turn. oops! oh, well. it was an adventure. i think i'm gonna get ready for bed now because i'm getting up super early because i'm going to the school with emily in the morning, and she has to be there at 8.

in iowa

i'm in iowa now. we're leaving tomorrow morning. and i'm excited for this school year. i'll write more later.

so...

tonight, i fought with my mom for her bed. i ended up licking her forehead because she was trying to lick my arm. and it the fight made me cough, but i'm refusing to take more albuterol at this point because i'm already wired and i don't need any more albuterol in my system. anyways, i'm heading out of here the day after tomorrow. i'm going to see my amazing roommate and then we're driving together from her house in iowa to school in virginia. it's going to be amazing.

conversation with a monkey

carmin: chelsey, it kinda looks like you're kidnapping us.
chelsey: why do you say that, carmin?
carmin: because we're in a car. and you're driving. and you're wearing
your glasses.
chelsey: carmin, these are my sun glasses. i'm wearing them because
it's sunny outside. people wear glasses like this so that they
don't hurt their eyes when it is sunny outside.
carmin: well, they look like kidnapping glasses.






hahahahahaha

life and love and why

so, i'm officially done packing until tuesday morning when i shove the last VERY essential things into my bag that i didn't have an extra of to keep here at home. i'm super excited to be leaving. anyways, i should be getting to bed. i have church and the coffee stand in the morning.

life or something like it

so, i'm done working at camp, and i do have to say that God taught me some pretty amazing things this summer. i'm really glad i went to canyonview. i now have about 9 days until i leave for iowa and then 2 days later i'm driving with emily to virginia. it's going to be pretty much amazing. that's all i have to say now. i need to be asleep.
