Just watched Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat with two of my favorite people on the planet: the Spratlings. I haven't laughed that hard in forever! I even got a workout in. Dancing to those songs is hard work! 

you've got a friend in me.

<-----------This is Dei. She's my best friend. We've been through a lot together. Some ups, and a lot of downs. But we've stuck together. :) I'm so grateful for her. She's so cute, and she puts a smile on my face. I'm so happy that she made the decision to be baptized, and I'm so glad that we're going to BYU together this fall. She is beautiful, kind, happy, thoughtful, and caring. I hope someday to be more like her. I wish everyone had a friend like Dei.

daughter of a king.

Selfie? No, I don't do selfies. This is simply a declaration that I am a daughter of God and I love it! He has given me everything that I have and am, and I am so grateful. Sometimes its hard to look in the mirror and love who I am, but I am one of God's creations. And God doesn't make mistakes. I have a body that allows me to walk, run, jump, sing, and dance. What more could I want? We are so blessed to have beautiful bodies, and I think it's time we start to love ourselves a little more. 

Be You(tiful)!

my womb-mate.

Just got off the phone with my new roommate. I've only met her once and we're practically best friends. She's so sweet and we are exactly the same person. Literally. I'm starting to think that we're long lost twins. So, instead of us being roommates, we're really womb-mates. haha ;) So far the only difference between us is that I like camping, and she doesn't. But she's a city girl, so who can blame her? I'll just have to show her what Montana is all about. I'll convert her. ;) Lately we've been texting and talking about things we should know about each other. I told her that I have a really hard time with self confidence and self worth, and that I feel like having her as a roommate is an answer to my prayers. I really believe that she is going to help me overcome that. She called me and the first thing she said was "I seriously love you!" I love talking with her, and I wish she didn't live so far away. In fact, I wish we were womb-mates roommates right now so I could hang out with her 24/7! :) We've already planned how to have the cutest dorm room, and how we're going to be the cute roommates that have movie  parties and popcorn nights and a guest book and butter mints. On Wednesday she sent me a text ---> "Kelsea...just thought you should know that I adore you. Already. And I think we should totally be those two best friends that everyone hates because we're so disgustingly cute and can't stand to be apart for more than an hour. And that concludes this evening's broadcast." Cute, right? I seriously can't wait to be her roommate.
40 more days!

cousins camp 2013.

Well, this is it! My last cousins camp. We had a blast! We had so much fun with Grandma and Grandpa, and I think we wore them out! :)

       

<---------------------->

These little cuties are Jacque's kiddos. They came and joined us for the fun!

                           

 What's cousins camp without Grandpa's Wilcoxsins ice cream? I think I ate enough to last me through the rest of the year! Who I am kidding, you can never eat too much ice cream. ;)

My favorite part of cousins camp: Devin. What a cheese ball!

And now you know where I get all my good looks! I'm sure going to miss cousins camp!

the best policy.

I think I have discovered one of my greatest downfalls: honesty. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a problem with being honest. Actually, I sometimes think I'm a little too honest. My tragic flaw is how I feel when people lie to me. It hurts so bad. Even the tiniest lie. I just feel so betrayed. It makes me think of my good friend 
Mr. Darcy from Pride and Prejudice. ------------> 

"Maybe it's that I find it hard to forgive the follies and vices of others, or their offenses against me. My good opinion, once lost, is lost forever."


Okay, maybe not that extreme, but you get the idea. It just makes me feel like I can never truly trust that person again. It's pathetic, I know. It just hurts.

i love to see the temple.

I got to spend an entire afternoon at Temple Square. Alone. It was so peaceful. I went to the Joseph Smith movie and cried all the way through it. I walked around the temple, saw the Christus, and read my scriptures. It felt so good. I love the temple.
