My girl Kelly + Cancer = Smiling Kailey

So I may or may not have an odd obsession with the Kelly Clarkson song Stronger. So be it. Me and all the other 12 year old girls will represent. 

Then... then I was introduced to this. It just made the song about 47 jillion times better!!!

Enjoy!

While we are on the subject of cancer, you know what I was able to be a part of this weekend that was a total blast? Oh represent wacky in the Ogden Marathon. But don't be deceived, we walked the 5k, yep WALKED.     It was a royal blast and made me so grateful for all of the incredible people in my life. I have this incredible support system of just downright good people around me. They hold me to a higher standard and keep me walking on the straight and narrow. I am so blessed to be have such incredible family and friends. They open doors and provide opportunities to me that most people could only dream about. I am truly one blessed chicky.

Here are some highlights from the event...

Cait and I at the starting line. The starting line you say? Where are all the people? Oh they are just about 15 minutes down the road.... we were just a smidge late.... oops. However, it merely added to the greatness of the event. 

Oh ya know just dressed up in our Wacky attire.

Please do your best to refrain from getting too jealous of Jeff and my stunning attire. 

All-in-all obviously the event was a success and it was nothing but smiles, fun, and giggles.

One last note, cute Tyler Smith lost his fight with cancer this weekend. He was one heck of a fighter. Inspire yourself and read his story at:

Oh nothing, just saying goodbye to the best times of my life... no big.

So okay this is a little delayed but I officially graduated 2 weeks ago!!!!
WA-FREAKIN-HOO!!!
But.... here's the thing. I loved Logan.
Everything about it. My friends. The weather. Crazy teachers. Granny G. Everything.
And not its gone...
I start a big kid job soon...
don't worry i'll have life insurance... i'm really that old? (I need a beneficiary for that 100k plan, so start sucking up my friends)
So i was looking through some pictures of the last month of two and thought i'd share....

these are a select few reasons why my heart loves stinky Cache Valley so much!

P.S. 

sorry be prepared for a profuse amount of pictures...

These last couple of weeks before I left were pretty swell..

I'll miss spending WAY too much time sitting in the hammock. 

Thinking about doing homework...

but letting my laziness overpower me. 

Okay, well this will still happen...

but... i'll miss random road trips with my BFF's

(this is when we went to Vail for the FD ball)

I'll miss, mogoli, Hali climbing around in trees and being cool.

She's going on a mission to Russian. 

What a woman!

Chance. What a true gem.

She's always up for an adventure. 

Tahiti here she comes!

Ash and Kev. 

Look at those cool catz.

Who wouldn't miss having them over all the time?

And of course miss Cholee Porter.

She rocks my socks.

I no longer have a tennis buddy.

I'll miss going to random things like baby animal days. 

(just for the record I FINALLY went this year. Every year I miss the dang baby animal days., and well.... it was just swell. We even got to go with those cuties.)

Yep, just holding little baby animals on cloud 9. No big deal. 

I'll miss random little celebrations...

and the creativity of having nothing to celebrate with.

This is how Hali does it.

One pudding and about 20 matches.

I lived with thee coolest chicks.

Seriously. It was just a party all the time. 

I'll miss people in our ward randomly knocking on our door asking us if we want to go fly in their plane.

It was a rather lovely way to bid Cache Valley goodbye.

I'll miss these girls talking me into running a triathlon without training. 

-word of advice, if you do a triathlon, remember a helmet. 

Chance was smoking hot in that ski helmet. 

Yep.

I loved Logan.

Mind you these adventures were just from a month or two of fun.

Now I move on.

Big kid job here I come.

I've got a lot to learn,

and I truly am excited for what lies in the future!!

WAHOOO
