Vacation and Life

Well, Evin and I finally brok eup for good. I'm saddened because he really was a great boyfriend most of the time and I had so many great times, and I won't be able to have any more adventures with him. But that's how life goes right?

At the moment, I'm sitting in a hotel room in Leadville, CO with my brother. My mom is suffering from altitude sickness, so we might have to leave tomorrow although we just got here. I'd hate to have driven 638 miles just to skip out. So far we have been to Branson, Missouri; Omaha, Nebraska; and here. All I can say is that between all of those towns is a LOT of corn!

We went to Silver Dollar City, Dixie Stampede, and Ride the Ducks! in Branson. It was SO much fun, although my familiy wouldn't ride the rollar coasters with me.

We went to Henry Doley Zoo and Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha. That zoo is AMAZING! It was in Omaha that people started looking at me funny every time I spoke. I've tried to curb the drawl, but to no avail. I guess everyone's just going to have to get used to it.

Now that I've finally seen some of the Rockies, I must say that I am impressed. Although it is sort of chilly up here, it's quite enjoyable. Minus the temporary light headedness. It's 23% humidity out here and they think that THAT is high. They should visit Mississippi!

I'll try to update with more of my SUPER vacation with the whole family. Sunday is Dodge City, Kansas. Monday is Mulfreesboro, Arkansas. Then, home! Being so far from home makes me miss it, but I hear there is a major heat wave out there, so I'll stay put.

Uncle Kracker: Take 1

Last night, me and a group of girls (and a couple of guys haha) went to the Hunt Club and saw Rehab and Uncle Kracker. I even caught Rehab's drum stick. I had to fight this obnoxious big ole girl for it. But I was determined. It was like we were fighting over a bouquet at a wedding. I got beer spilled down my boot, almost smashed a guys nose in for daring to touch me and suggest something totally repulsive, and danced the night away with my Amy-girl and Katherine! Katherine came down on a two-week leave from Iraq. I've missed her so! She wont be back until July. But I'm glad I gave her a fun night out. Here are two pictures , there will be more to come later. I'm just typing out a quick blog before class! Yay!

P.S. Classes and work after you dance all night in cowgirl boots, even if you are the DD, is very horrible. Just saying.

Me and my Kit Kat. I got Soul and She is a Soilder (and we're SORORITY SISTERS! PI PHIIIIII!)

Me and my bestie, darling, favorite girl in the world, AMY BOWLING. I'm talking about future Maid of Honor (if I ever get married haha)

More to come More to come More to coommmmeee. Not that anyone reads my blogs or cares, but I like to pretend anyway.

Love y'all to the bottom of my heart,

Chelsea Leann.

Pictures pictures pictures!

Just some pictures of the past few weeks :) I know I'm so out of order!

I got a new haircut, and I'm still not sure if I like it or not. But there's no going back!

That's all for now. I'm such a nerd haha!

So, I have been so busy I haven't even attempted to update. I think I will just pick up with my weekend.

Friday, I got off work early and headed to Evin's. I'm trying to master cooking homemade biscuts, but I just can't make 'em like his momma. He will just have to sit down, shut up, and eat what I put in front of him. Ha, that sounded tough! We enjoyed breakfast for supper and then started to watch Couples Retreat, but I fell asleep.

Saturday, I went to a Tae Kwon Do competition in Starkville at the Sportsplex. I was so excited, because my momma came to watch me. My students all did very well, and I got to show Jahmil off to all of my friends. Jahmil is this tiny 4 year old boy in my class whom I absolutely adore. Some people disapprove of my affection because he is black. But I don't see children in black and white. And this kid is adorable! Jahmil got 1st place in sparring- I was so proud! Pictures to come! I finally got to compete at 3:30. In my kata, which is just a series of movements in a particular pattern, I placed 1st in Womens Advanced Over 18. Yul-Gok is such a beautiful pattern; I will probably use it for the rest of the season. I received 2nd in sparring. I hate to fight and was so exhausted; I didn't really care. Finally, I got to head back to Evins, only to climb in his truck and head to Pickens. I was glad to see those people! They are funniest folks ever and never fail to make me laugh. I've come a long way from December with them. I hope Evin fixes his fourwheeler soon so we can go riding again. If only he would stop taking it through impossible mud holes! He took me to this place called Ricks where we just chilled and ate, then it was back to Kosy. He sure keeps me on my toes. I was so exhausted, I fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.

Sunday was a glorious day! I got to see Mr. And Mrs. Armstrong, Marsha(Evin's sister), and her two children, Swayze and Pearce. Swayze and I played for a couple of hours and I immensely enjoyed it. She is so smart! My favorite part was when she explained night time to me. "You know, when the sun goes down and the moon comes up? Night time. It got dark." She is such a little teacher and its so hard not to smile when she's being so serious. And Pearce is growing every time I see him. He was making those adorable baby noises and smiling. I don't know much about babies, but he is so smart, too! He looks straight at you and listens. Evin's mother cooked lunch and as usual, it was wonderful. I always leave completely satisfied and a little concerned that I may never learn to cook like her. Good thing Evin will eat frozen pizza and breakfast! :)
I finally got home and spent some time with my parents. Then, as I had the previous two nights, I passed OUT. It had been an exhausting weekend.

Today, I went to work, class, etc. I got to eat lunch with Kayla and TJ. I'm doing better on the friends thing, and its really helping out with Evin and me. He really makes me happy, and I find something new to love every day. He is stubborn, hard headed, and annoyingly quiet- but he is also thoughtful, comforting, and more than I thought I'd ever find. I'm quite smitten.

Wednesday, Momma and I are going to movies for a girls night. I'm pretty excited! I love my Mom- she is probably the best friend I have. She knows everything about me, every fear, every problem, and every dream. Its nice to have a mother like that. I hope I am that good of a mom to my children.

Anyway, I will pose pictures soon of my adventures with Evin and friends soon. Bunches of love!
