A few letters

Dear Lakers,

I hope you lose.

Dear KayCee's back,

Please feel better, like right now. I'm about ready to go crazy if I have to deal with this pain for one more day.

Dear weekend,

Please get here sooner.

Dear boys,

Why did you all choose around the same time to act all weird.

Dear Utah weather,

Please decide if it's summer, winter or spring. Don't change your mind each hour of the day.

Dear books,

I can't believe I've started two of you and two weeks later I'm still not done. I promise you're good, let's blame the back for not being able to sit long enough to read.

Dear patience,

Do you enjoy testing me with all this stuff at once?

Dear Apple,

Must you release the most amazing looking phone a week before my birthday to tempt me even more?

Dear Ice Cream,

I love you, why do you have to make me sick though?

Dear Brownies & Cake & Cookies,

Don't worry I still love you more then ice cream.

Dear Diet Coke,

Can you believe how well we've done in our recent venture of parting ways?

Dear allergies,

Why do you still have to bother me when I'm on a prescription to eliminate you?

Dear insurance companies,

Let's not even start...

Dear cardboard boxes,

Next time you decide to fall out of a truck on a freeway, make sure my brand new car with no scratches isn't behind you.

Dear Mazda,

Please fix the scratch the stupid box made :)

Dear roommates,

I swear its 40 degrees in our house. Is it really only me that's always cold?

Dear Mr. Korver,

I pretty much love you. I know you'd feel the same the second you knew I existed :)

Sincerely, KayCee

Time reflections

Do you ever wish you could go back in time? Do you ever wonder if one single silly choice in life could possibly change everything? This is a topic where if you think too far into it, your head will spin. I'm reading a book right now called The Golden Spiral, its about these people who've traveled through time and one of them (the bad guy) tries to go back in time to change the main characters life around. She remembers her real past, but her family and friends only believe what he's changed. I've just been thinking about that lately, especially the time of life I'm in and all the big choices I'm required to make at my age. And I'm not necessarily just talking about the bad decisions. For example my major, going to school for anything is obviously a good thing. Well, what if I choose the wrong one for me. Sure, I have a degree, but was it the right choice? Overall, I'm glad there's no time travel, but I will admit there are definitely moments I wish I could change. And I still miss my Grandma like crazy. One thing I do wish is go back in time and spend more of it with her, especially these last few months. She was one of the few people I could tell everything to and I never had to worry about what she thought of me, I really miss her.

I love days off...

In honor of my Grandmother

What a crazy past few weeks. Exactly three weeks ago my Grandma was taken to the emergency room, because of breathing problems thought mostly because of her history with emphysema. It was only realized after she had pneumonia as well as a mild heart attack somewhere in there. After a weeklong hard fought battle, she passed away surrounded by our family on Tuesday, May 11. It has been one of the hardest things I've been through and I know as time goes on, it may get harder. We had our first Sunday dinner without her there this past Sunday and it just felt so empty. I know eventually I'll slowly begin to heal. I find the greatest comfort knowing as long as I live my life being the best person I can be and keeping close to Heavenly Father I will see her again someday. In a way watching her during that week helped me let go, I knew how much she was suffering and that she was able to be released from her worldly body pains was a good comfort during such a hard time. I also had the opportunity to put together a "life video" if you will for the viewing and funeral. It was neat being able to look through all her pictures (JJ just happened to get a copy of every picture she had on her computer a few months ago) and seeing what she's done in life. She was so funny, she'd speak her mind and never left you guessing what she thought, and she was so pretty. I tell everyone I want to grow up and look just like her, not a lot of people would say that and truly mean it about their grandparents, but if I happen to get her genes in my older years I will feel very blessed. I feel very lucky I was able to have her as a grandmother for 22 years of my life. She was such a huge part of my life and in a way that makes this process harder, but I don't have any regrets. I now have all the memories of the past 22 years. I will work a little harder each day in honor of her and strive to become a better person to one day see her again.

Awesome...

As I'm going through all my Grandma's pictures to put on the video for her funeral (they'll be another post for that) I found this jewel of a picture. Yup, that's me I was a complete nerd awesome right? I'm not even ashamed of my total geeky days.

A little bit of luck...

I know it seems like I fell off the face of the Earth or something, I promise I'm here just a rough last couple of weeks. With that said, I decided to post something good that happened. We all know my little secret crush, right? Well, he has this non-profit clothing line where all the proceeds go to those in need. Specifically, helping families in Utah one example is a girl who's been in a wheelchair and doesn't have easy access into her house. The family didn't have a lot of money to build a ramp, so his foundation did it for her. It's actually really neat, its called Seer. Each shirt has a different symbol on it for courage or integrity, different things like that. Anyway, I've always wanted to get one to support the cause, except they're $25. I knew it was going towards a good cause, just had a hard time spending that much. Well, in honor of the playoffs they had a contest whoever was the certain number to buy shirts would win a signed jersey donated by the Jazz players. It would correspond to their jersey number, so Kyle's was whoever bought the 26th shirt. Well....guess who that happened to be??? I was beyond excited. It is now framed and hanging up proudly by the light as you walk into my room. Now I have two signed pictures and the jersey...I'm making progress :)

These are my....

I've had a bad week, my mouth still hurts, I'm finally over the stupid boy, found them on clearance, got fed up with members yelling at me, yay finally found the perfect size, most awesome red ever, really don't have the money but don't really care......

I'm. In. Love.
