My dad warned me. He said, "don't get a blog unless you can update it regularly". I promise, now that I am moved I will be so much better at posting. And believe me, I have oodles to share with you. The rest of summer, a wedding, going to college, a new job, my new phone, and my brand new spankin' computer. It's a beaut, and I adore it. So for your enjoyment, here is a picture of me and Liana, my soul-sister. We used to spend every waking moment together and now we are an hour apart from each other, but we still have 45 minute conversations and text and Skype pretty regularly. I'm loving it where I'm at and I'll share some pictures with you but for now, I have to pack. San Diego bound for the weekend!

To the beach, around the block, and back!

Liana and I with our baseball caps. 

She recently dyed a few strands purple and wanted me to capture the "essence" of it.
So here is my attempt. 

Her older sister Alicia has been studying abroad since July last year and she gets to see her
for the first time in over a year today!
This was my product after I asked her how excited she was to see her:)

We ate dinner at this quaint pizza place and walked out the door  to find
ourselves in a cute brick alley which became our version of "Little Italy"

My best friend from elementary school, Rylee, took this photo with her iPhone and messed
around with an app that turned it into this. I think it's a pretty cool picture!
Shows my American pride!

Oh golly! Well, these past two weeks have been fairly busy to say the least. Brother got married (to one of my most favorite people;), went to the beach a few times and well, I'm in the process of packing for college. So before I get deep into wedding photos and all the bliss there was that day, these are a few beach pictures with a couple friends. And I promise, I will be back!

Being "Grown-Up" and whatnot!

 So this here is my soul-sister Liana. You may recognize her  and her booty from THIS PICTURE. I really don't know the definition of a soul-sister, but it's basically my best friend, my other half. So anyway, since graduating, we planned on taking some of our graduation money and going shopping and kinda spending it;) We thought, "Hey! Two teenage girls with bank accounts and debit cards, our parents should NOT be okay with this". So our version of shopping ended up being scared out of our wits to spend our money because you feel guilty and we have no idea why. We'd much rather sit at a little cafe and watch cute old men with suspenders help their wives shop (creepy, I know). But personally I think old men are rather sweet because they still know how a man should treat a lady and they're such gentle men. Anywho, so we went shopping and only bought a couple things for college and saved the rest of our money. We spent all day walking around, "looking" at clothes , eating at the Corner Bakery Cafe, drove back home around midnight, had In-N-Out and proceeded to have a girls night. We like the call it "The First Grown-Up Thing We've Done."

After our day when we were fussy and Liana said, "Tone your sass down Kelsey!"
My new favorite quote:)

Happy July 4th to you and you and you!

I'm pretty stinking proud of my shorts, even though I am the messiest spray-painter you
ever did see. My dad says I can't tag anything cause I leave the evidence on my legs.
(Seriously, when it says to hold the can 10 inches from surface, take caution of
that and the wind)
I followed this tutorial HERE. 

This here is John of John and Glenda. 

Caily and I are pretty dang impressed with ourselves. 

Lewis and Clark, totally in sync with each other and everything. 

We lay on the hood of the boat.
(Is it a hood? What is that thing called?)

The Fourth of July is always kinda big in our family cause a few family members have served and because we just plain love the holiday! Every year since I can remember, we celebrate up in Big Bear with John and Glenda and other wonderful friends. It was incredibly sad without Glenda (more on that later), but we tried to make the best of it. We barbequed and then walked down Pine Knot Ave, go to the dock and sit in John's boat for the fireworks show. It was quite wonderful! Hope you had a wonderful day as well and Happy 236th Birthday America!

Sage Christopher and I

This here is Sage Christopher. We grew up together when we were infants, living next door to each other and always hanging out. We are exactly 6 months apart (he's April 8th, I'm October 8th). We became best friends and I can't imagine anyone else being my childhood friend other than him. We graduated preschool together and just recently graduated from high school this past month. He has been my closest friend at times, always putting a smile on my face and reminding me that I'll always have him. He is part of my best memories and I love him!
I could give you more but they're all diaper-mud everywhere-half naked-icecream smeared on face pictures ;)

And with this, it is officially summer!

We always mark the beginning of summer by eating watermelon and jumping off the water slide. This being my last year at home before moving out, it was more special. So after my graduation party, my closest friends and I decided to brave it and just do it.  That's because we are ready for summer, and plus my momma got some pretty good pictures :)

In which I graduate!

On June 8th of 2012, I graduated. Or rather "started another chapter". However, I don't like that.
So sue me. I graduated, and it feels wonderful! Kinda scary though. It took me 15 years to get that diploma.
Two years in preschool, Kindergarten and finally 1-12. So yay for me!
But here is a secret for you: I'm a little scared. Really. No joke!
Breaking away from what I'm used to and diving into something that is totally unknown.
But okay, I'm ready :)

The Crismali family! They are my second parents and I love them!

Sorry, that was an excessive amount of pictures. But graduation is kinda huge.
