it's my birthday...

and all i wanna listen to is this song. over. and over. and over. it's warm and loving.... two things i am not, so naturally i appreciate someone/something that is. anyway, it's my birthday and also i'm on 3 hours of sleep... so just go with this jibber-jabber.

 (thanks kacie!)

sedona

 

we went to sedona to go fishing this past weekend. let's just saw i was nottttttt dressed approriately (sheer maxi skirt and sandals). BUT, it was fun nonetheless. Please enjoy Andrew's "please just take this stupid picture quick" face below.

 

Also, I am really bad at remembering/caring about pictures. I usually just snap one or two when I see other people taking pictures and remember that that is what normal people do during fun activities. Personally, I rather just enjoy the moment fully. right then.

 

in typical chelsey fashion, i freaked out the whole time we were fishing about bringing home the trout... and the possibility of them leaking in my cute little car. andrew came up with a solution....

 

and now the kid thinks he is going to make me eat the fish... not a chance, kid. give up.

sometimes my drive to work isn't so bad

Heavenly Father,
Thank you for the reminder this morning that maybe life isn't so bad and thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for loving me despite my flaws.
Love, Chelsey

Meet Milo.

He's all about the fresh foods.

Oh, and he's ridiiiiiiiiculously soft.

That is all.

Have a good day!!

"At times the world can seem an unfriendly and sinister place, but believe us when we say there is much more good in it than bad. All you have to do is look hard enough. And what might seem to be a series of unfortunate events, may, in fact, be the first steps of a journey."

My best friend

Meet Andrew. He's my favorite person... ever. He seriously lets me be a psycho (so basically normal me) around him. He's an angel. Oh, and ignore the fact that we look sweaty. It was outdoors. In July. At 5 pm. In Arizona. You get the idea.....

 

I have a buuuuuusy next 1.5 weeks, so you probably won't be seeing much of me. Let's just pray I survive...

Respect goes a long way with me.
Nothing is more of a turn off than a condescending, prideful, disrespectful jerk.
Learn how to treat a girl or I promise you'll be single forever.

i am grateful to have people in my life that love me.
i mean, genuinely love me.

it makes life just that much more beautiful.
