So I think I'm afraid of semi-trucks again. Last night when I was driving from Brookings to Lennox it was raining, and anyone that knows what happens when one car passes another while it's raining, water is splashed up onto the windshield. Well last night was the first time I've ever used the windshield wipers on the car that I now have and turns out that when an excessive amount of water hits the windshield at once the wipers stop until it stops. When the semi passed me, it brought that excessive amount of water with it, therefore making my wiper blades stop and almost go into the railing of the bridge that I didn't even know I was on. This happened a second time. Finally, once I reached my mom's house I was still a little shaken. Worst driving experience ever? Without a doubt.
Moving on...
Daniel and I are going to be leaving for Wisconsin in about 3 hours. We are going to be with his family for New Year's and for next week. I'm really excited. And the wait is not really helping but it'll be worth it. In the mean time while Daniel is at work, I'm having a soy chai latte at a really nice coffeeshop name Dunn Bros. I think this could quite possibly be my favorite coffee place in Sioux Falls. Although the thought of coffeeshops is making me miss Cottonwood more and more. Oh well. Take what you get, I guess.
Again, moving on...
It's December...there's no snow...something's not right here. I'm not saying that I miss the cold winds or the cold in general, it's just the snow is pretty especially when its fresh and fluffy. Also if you think about it it just means that the snow is going to last longer into the year. That's really strange to think about. Snow in June. :P ew that's an awful thought. I think that's part of the reason why I love that my birthday is in summer because there's no snow. OOOOOOHHHHH, this next year is a leap year! :)

Warning!!! Just letting you know now, it's kinda sappy!!!!
So currently I'm just listening to music on Pandora, set to seasonal so it automatically changes according to the next holiday. Guess what's playing now...that's right christmas music. Currently the song is "Baby It's Cold Outside" and it got me thinking...why hasn't it started to snow yet? I mean is it wrong for me to be saying that? I do know some that might say to me right now, "Kelsey why are you cursing and saying such profane things?" But I'm serious. I don't want alot of snow, I'm just curious as to why there's no snow on the ground yet??? I just would just like to add some pretty scenery photos!
Anyways moving on...if anyone has noticed my iGoogle page, I have this one gadget that gives me a 'love quote of the day'. Yeah yeah go ahead, laugh, shake your head in disgrace or embarassment but I like it. As I was saying, so here's how it goes...
"Distance is not for the fearful, it is for the bold. It's for those who are willing to spend a lot of time alone in exchange for a little time with the one they love. It's for those knowing a good thing when they see it, even if they don't see it nearly enough."
~Anonymous
I actually know what this is talking about. Even though Daniel and I are only an hour apart from each other currently, it's not like we can see each other everyday. We both have school and work. Usually when I do get to see Daniel, it's only for a few hours on Sundays. But the short exposures teaches us to appreciate the limited time that we have, not only with each other but for life in general. Life is short, some people take it for granted. All we can do is live life to the fullest and live each day as if it were the last day. Live the short life you were granted and thank God each and every day for giving you another day, you never know when your last day has come.
Also, towards Daniel...I love you. Thank you for being with me even when you aren't 'here' with me and for caring and loving me back, I'm so lucky to have you in my life. And thank you God for bringing Daniel into my life, he's truly turned it in a direction I didn't see coming.
I have a proposition for you...or a challenge for you (however you'd like to look at it). If there is someone special in your life, ask yourself this...can I make it a day without seeing them? If you answered yes, well I really want to actually know that for a fact but congrats if you can. If you can't however, if you seem lost and confused without them, if it seems like your heart beats slower without them and you almost feel like an anchor is weighing you down or you feel like you could drown...it's probably because you love being around them so much that it hurts when they are gone. Trust me, I'm currently going through that everyday. It's not a bad thing to be without them though, it just teaches you to appreciate and love spending time with them when you do. It'll get better. :) No worries.

Lights...Camera...Action!!
So after having had about six hours of sleep, I'm now ready to go about my day. Of course with the exception of writing this blog in between it all. Time to begin...
Thursday...
I'm just going to begin with Thursday, so after work I drove to my mom's house to watch my brother and sister. I got to the house and Daniel met up with me about 10 minutes later. He and Cat then helped me pick out a dress to wear for the premiere. We had decided on my black prom dress from my senior year. Then we all watched a movie, the twins went to bed and Daniel and I said goodnight and see ya tomorrow.
Friday...
Friday morning arose, I got up, took the twins to school, then went about my day. I ended up getting laundry done and a few things around the house as well. When the time came, I drove to Sioux Falls in which I ended up talking to myself the whole way. I parked my car and walked over to STI to make it just in time to see Daniel getting done with class. Daniel changed and we went on our way.
To be honest, I thought that the first couple of hours felt like only half an hour. The drive was just so much fun. We just talked, laughed, and read about discipleship. All in all, very beneficial. Mind you every so often I would be tensing up from the mixed feelings of nervousness and excitement; but bless Daniel's heart, he would just take my hand, give it a light squeeze and told me that everything was going to be alright.
Although it was dark, the scenery was still beautiful nonetheless. Especially when we were at La Crosse (the border of Minnesota and Wisconsin), the valley was just so beautiful. When in Wisconsin, though I'd never been in that part before it did look somewhat familiar to me because of all the surrounding trees it reminded me of the drive to the cabin in Siren.
So we drew nearer and nearer, and as we did my feelings were bouncing between excited and nervous still. Then we got to the turns of which I had seen with Daniel before on Google maps. When we finally arrived at the house, I felt like my core temperature was a mere 150 degrees. And once that door opened, out of it bounded the two exact people I expected to see first. Emily and then Kara embraced their brother like they hadn't seen him in years. Then they turned towards me and each gave me a hug as well then led Daniel and I inside where as expected the rest of the family was waiting. And although it was late, they were all (minus the Webber parents) wide awake. We talked about tomorrow's schedule and everything else they had had in store and then we all went to bed...or so I expected.
I stayed in the girls' room with the girls (Webbers and Morells) and just like I expected, again :), Kara, Emily, Joanna, and I talked for about another hour. Mainly about chocolate and Disney movies.
Saturday
I was surprised. We were all tired (especially Daniel and I), so I almost thought that all of us would sleep in...well us girls got up at like 8:30ish and the guys slept another 1-2 hours. But it was fine by me because I got to chat with most of the family and eat breakfast with them almost as if we'd known each other for years. So we didn't actually start to do anything until about 10:30ish, starting with the girls going upstairs to work on their hair. I followed and it was rather interesting because Nathanael and Josiah joined us and we talked about Disney music. Afterwards, we all had lunch, which was an amazing white chili that Mrs. Morell made.
After lunch, we started to set up the dessert/orderve area and the theatre as it turned out to look like. So we were able to get everything ready in time. We even had extra time to start red carpet pictures. I couldn't believe how handsome and beautiful everyone looked when dressed up. It was so much fun meeting a whole bunch of new people.
The movie was fantastic! There was hardly a moment where I didn't laugh. It is without a doubt a movie that I would definitely want to see again.
Sunday
So Kara, Emily, and Joanna were all dressing up in their Indian garb. I was insisted to join them, and quite frankly, I'm glad that I did. It was gorgeous clothing and very comfortable.
So anyway, we all got dressed and then had breakfast in haste to make it to meeting that morning. Meeting at the Fox Valley Assembly is very similar to Brookings Christian Assembly. So I somewhat felt comfortable besides that fact that I was in a place in which I have no idea where I was. After first meeting, I was shocked at how many people that came up to me knew my name. Things were shared faster there than at my high school by a long shot.
After the second meeting, I changed out of the Indian garb that Kara let me borrow and got into my own clothes. The whole lot of us had lunch then Mrs. Morell, Daniel, and I headed back to the house because the two of them had to do some paperwork. While they were busy doing that, I earned bragging rights towards Daniel...I saw his baby book first!!! Mwahahahahaha! Anyways, they got done with the paperwork rather quickly, so Daniel went out to check his sparkplugs while Mrs. Morell and I sat inside and talked.
Daniel got done with his car check and we said goodbyes and departed with a 8 hour trip ahead of us. Now sunday was daylight savings time, so apparently that meant that the sun had to go down at about 4:20ish. I know it makes no sense. But anyways, so we were driving during dark hours again but that was ok. We had so much fun on the drive. Daniel and I are/were so ridiculous.
So all in all, excellent trip. It was fun to be there but its good to be back. The trip was fun. The movie was excellent. The people were brilliant. Congrats and thank you for letting me come. I can't wait until next time. God bless the Morell and the Webber families. Also of course, Daniel for being by my side through everything!! :)

Holidays and Stores, Coffeshops, and Some Random Questions
Its that time of the year...yet again. When stores have holiday things out already. Honestly I can understand Halloween (Hallow's Eve) decorations and whatnots out on shelves since the beginning of October, then possibly Thanksgiving decor as well since they are around the same season; but Christmas/winter decor...really?! I promise you not two days after they put out things for Halloween/Thanksgiving, winter holiday decorations are out. There hasn't even been the first big frost. Ok so that might be a little late to put out that kind of decor but at least wait until midOctober or the end. It hardly ever snows before the end of the month so you will still have time to put up everything.
To think about it as well, why are stores so anxious to get that stuff out anyway? It almost seems as if they want it to snow sooner. Why? Snow last long enough the way it is, why are they so anxious for it to come sooner than necessary.
Moving on, so currently I'm at a coffeeshop. The only one in Brookings that seems to open when people actually need coffee (5:30 A.M.). Yes, I've been here since 5:30. Anyway, in the middle of deep contemplation of what to blog about I suddenly hear someone singing. Mind you the radio is on but I'm talking about actual singing. I look over towards the counter to find one of the employees singing to "Bust A Move". My first initial thought was to start singing with her, but for my better judgement I just pull off a subtle chuckle. I thought that that would be the only thrillinng thing about my morning until after my classes are done later. Then about 15 minutes later, I look over again and the same lady is singing to "Just The Way You Are," now normally I don't really like Bruno Mars but I burst out laughing due to the fact that this girl is going all out and using one of the spatulas as a microphone and that she is actually making this song worth listening to. Highlight of the day...possibly.
Whoo! We made it to the end. :) I'm just kidding its not that bad. Hmm, random questions. Ok, got some...they're more of favorites. Mine will be posted, and it'd be fun if you comment yours :)

Quizical
So a question, how would you react if you found out one of your professors looked like a cartoon character? Would you be like, "yeah, that guy is my teacher"? Or possibly, "look away and act like you don't know him"? How about if he looked like a cat? Changed your question...possibly? I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with it, it's just a little bit difficult to get through class without chuckling just a little bit.
So in Psychology today, my professor just shut his book and went, "ok, time to do a demo". Mind you we are studying how neurons in the brain work at excessive rates. For those of you who understand what I'm talking about, he ended up having us to the wave in class to show it. Pretty epic not gonna lie.
On a different note, I realized that I don't really like how if I'm written on, it stays. And not for a short period of time. So all I have to say is THANKS JASON!!!! Now I have a bunch of people quizzing me. That reminds me, why do questions have to be asked when the question is obvious? I mean if the answer is right in front of you, clear as crystal, does the question have to be asked? Goodness gracious, I've been getting so many weird looks today. Possibly from wearing glasses or wearing an Elmo sweatshirt or having straight hair. I have no idea why, but oddly I don't really mind.
So during the summer, I saw a billboard that asked if I thought any of my friends were unicorns, then later today I had had a pop-up on facebook ask the same thing. It got me thinking, what else could it be other than a little quizical (yes I'm aware that's not an actual word)? And so now, I have my own little "quizical". You are not obligated to answer, it'd just be interesting to see responses. (BTW, it's absolutely random and the questions don't sync very much and they don't make sense). So here we go:
Do you think any of your friends are unicorns?
Are any of your friends possibly ninjas by night?
Do you open your mouth while putting on eyeliner?
Do elephants sing in the shower?
Do you sing in the shower? If so, what song?
How many kangaroos did you find in the bathtub this morning?
Do you ever find Bigfoot wearing socks?
If you had a pet koala, what would you name it?
Why does two have to be as bad as one?
What's the first thing you think of when you hear the word, "Buffalo"?
Where in the world is "Caucasia"?
What is your favorite fruit and have you ever tried to eat it with chocolate?
Just curious. Be creative. And I'm sorry that it doesn't make it sense and that it's so random. =) But anyway, have a great rest of the week and God bless you!

Funny People
It's strange how people act: some try to be funny, others are naturally. For example, professors will sometimes try to be funny or they don't have to try at all. There are the people who can kill a crowd (not literally) or ones who couldn't even kill a cricket even if they tried or there could be the occasional person that is absolustely hilarious and doesn't think so because of his "dry humor".
My Music Literature and History teacher is hilarious without any doubt. We all get up before 7:30 (or most of us do) to get ready for the class at 8. Mind you 8am basically means that people will be groggy and still half asleep, so we don't really want to be there that early but to pass we know we have to be. Anyway, he can make the morning better just by telling us jokes, and his reactions to music or even by telling us how amazing we are with the musical world. Or my Courtship and Marriage teacher, who is so funny that occasionally it's an awkward situation but we don't even care because its just so funny and we can't help but laugh. I say it's awkward because he's like in his sixties so around the age of my grandparents and he said on the first day of class that we would try to talk about everything that comes with marriage...EVERYTHING!!!! Umm, yeah Mr. Stover I already had that talk with my mom and in middle school, I got it the first time. Unlike other things I don't need to study that seven times to remember it.
Well ok, moving on to the next type of person I mentioned. I believe I'm not the only one in that class that thinks my professor is not that funny. I mean I'll give him credit, he does try. He's just not incredibly good at it, that's probably part of the reason that class drags on sometimes. Personally, I think it's funny to watch his hand gestures, he just happens to be "hand talker," which I'm still trying to figure how someone who teaches history can talk with their hands so much. Hmm, I guess I'll never know.
And finally, I'm brought around to my Psych professor. He is one who thinks and knows he has a dry sense of humor. We'll be sitting in class and he's crack a joke and not expect a reaction, then we'll start to laugh from it. I think it's overwhelming the poor guy, I mean here he makes a joke that he thinks is funny but then we think it's funny and he's absolutely shocked. His brain is probably in override, trying to figure out the math to how he could be funny.
Anyway, that's basically it for now when it comes to my teachers. Adios personas. God bless you all and have a wonderful weekend. Oh, and for all those in the Sioux Falls area, head over to Lifelight, you won't regret it. :)

Or my Courtship and Marriage teacher, who is so funny that occasionally it's an awkward situation but we don't even care because its just so funny and we can't help but laugh. I say it's awkward because he's like in his sixties so around the age of my grandparents and he said on the first day of class that we would try to talk about everything that comes with marriage...EVERYTHING!!!! Umm, yeah Mr. Stover I already had that talk with my mom and in middle school, I got it the first time. Unlike other things I don't need to study that seven times to remember it.
Well ok, moving on to the next type of person I mentioned. I believe I'm not the only one in that class that thinks my professor is not that funny. I mean I'll give him credit, he does try. He's just not incredibly good at it, that's probably part of the reason that class drags on sometimes. Personally, I think it's funny to watch his hand gestures, he just happens to be "hand talker," which I'm still trying to figure how someone who teaches history can talk with their hands so much. Hmm, I guess I'll never know.
And finally, I'm brought around to my Psych professor. He is one who thinks and knows he has a dry sense of humor. We'll be sitting in class and he's crack a joke and not expect a reaction, then we'll start to laugh from it. I think it's overwhelming the poor guy, I mean here he makes a joke that he thinks is funny but then we think it's funny and he's absolutely shocked. His brain is probably in override, trying to figure out the math to how he could be funny.
Anyway, that's basically it for now when it comes to my teachers. Adios personas. God bless you all and have a wonderful weekend. Oh, and for all those in the Sioux Falls area, head over to Lifelight, you won't regret it. :)

First Days of Sophomore College Year
Yesterday, I woke just remembering that it was the day that I move into my dorm to start a new year. So as I lay awake on the futon mattress I think to myself also, 'Hey Kelsey...Daniel moves today too!!!' And of course, it made me as sad as ever.
But getting past that to make the situation better, I started off by my usual morning and started about my day, which included of course seeing Daniel and spending as much time with him as possible. At the time, we were both incredibly hungry and so we got some food and some mango juice and went to go have some brunch-ish type thing. As we got the small meal ready, I turned to look at Daniel and he looked back at me, then pulled me into a hug. All I thought to myself was about how it would be hard to let him go to Sioux Falls.
Once our meal was ready, Daniel led us into grace then we partook into the food, juice, and coffee while watching Despicable Me. Or rather part of it. Not far into the movie, my mom had called me to see where I was and that she would be at the house in a few minutes. Sure enough, a few minutes pasted and my mom, brother, and sister all showed up at my door and started to talk about whatever they could. After introducing all of them to Daniel, we started to load up all my stuff into my mom's van and Scott's truck, and headed on over to Brown Hall.
Now once you get to the dorm you have to check in, well, my check-in took a little longer than necessary but it got squared away. We took my stuff from the lawn to my dorm room and then without even unpacking one thing, we headed over to help Daniel with his belongings. Originally thinking my mom would only take a bookshelf in the van, she ended up taking about half his things, which was ok! :) Once my mom left, Daniel and I packed the rest of his belongings, went to my floor meeting, then went to eat at Eric, Harmony, and Isaac's place. Which was very nice I might add. Then we departed from the loving family and Daniel left for Sioux Falls.
Come Sunday, I had not slept well last night. Going about to Wal-Mart, baking a cake, and going to church on practically no sleep. Then after finally getting coffee in the system, Andrew and I gave Kacey a little birthday gift ;) and then split for the day. After fiddling around in my room, I found Cameron in his room with his roommate and chatted with him, then hung out with Erika and her roommate. We had pizza, talked, and went to the dance in the Jackrabbit Plaza. Having danced part of the night away. As for the rest of the night, it shall be devoted to sleep. :) Goodnight all! God Bless All of You!
