Overcast and Windy

So yesterday I was expecting a sunny day at the beach and instead I got an overcast, windy, and chilly morning. I had been bugging my mom to go to the beach ALL week but we still hadn't gone, so when we finally went yesterday I was excited. We got there really early, we were the first ones there so far and it was around 9:00. When we stepped out of the car, wow what a downer. It was just as windy and cold at the beach as it was in Mobile if not colder. I'll admit I was upset, but I didn't show it because I really wanted to be there so we stayed. For an hour maybe we were the only ones on the beach, my sister and I were playing with the sand but I still hadn't taken off my t-shirt or shorts, I thought it was to cold. So I stayed in my clothes for a long time before I even considered taking them off, and when I did I didn't even worry about sunscreen because it was so overcast. As a result of no sunscreen I got burned.......on one arm!!! Not only am I burned on one arm but its a weird burn, its all jagged and deformed. The sun is not my friend :[

Oh the horror...

Swim suits. Two words I never use to fear. Recently it seems that all swim suit designers have decided to make most of their swim suits bikinis or skanky one pieces. Excuse my french. It took me two days to even find a decent swimsuit. The places I normally look like target or khoals usually have a good wide selection of swimsuits but recently they seem to have nothing but bikinis. I got to the point where I actually considered just buying one and then buying a dark colored surf shirt so you couldn't tell I was wearing one. As soon as I thought that, I found one. Its getting harder and harder each year to find swim suits, even for older women like moms. As I was looking for my own swim suit I noticed that all the older women's swim suits were also sizing down to more bikinis and less one pieces or appropriate two pieces. I can only wonder where we will be in a few years and just what exactly the selection is going to be like. The point of me bringing this up is to point out how things are getting today in America, around the world even. More and more people are finding it OK to show more skin then ever before when in reality its just plain unattractive.

Here They Are!

I promised a picture of my converse so here they are!

One Big Muddy Mess

It's a normal YMCA Saturday morning in our house with everyone rushing around looking for their cleats, socks, chin guards, jersey's, things like that. It had been raining all night and some of this morning so my dad called to see if my brother and i were having a game since we played at nine and it was still raining around eight. Our game had been cancelled but my other brothers, Ethan and Dylan, still had their games. When we got to the YMCA i gained a new definition of flood. The goalie area in front of the goal box was completely filled with water, it was very obvious that whoever played goalie would get muddy, very muddy. Dylan's game started around the same time as Ethan's so I decided I would watch Ethan's game since we play on the same field(he's only one age group under me), besides the littler kids around Dylan's age cluster up a lot. Just when you think you've seen as much slipping and falling as you can in one game someone else falls. Every single person on both Ethan's and Dylan's team was muddy to an extreme it was disgusting. Personally I'm actually kind of happy I didn't have to play, I mean I don't mind getting dirty i enjoy it sometimes but this was a different kind of muddy. It was the "more water-than-mud" muddy. If I didn't know better I would have said they were playing slip and slid with protective gear. Their was even a little girl maybe 2 or 3 that was watching the game and then she realized the YMCA had a red dirt track around all the fields. Well since it had been raining it was obviously muddy, and in some parts even under water. She walked over to an area under water and just sat down and rolled in it. She was having a ball it was hilarious, she was rubbing it on her arms and face rolling in the water laughing. Little kids know how to appreciate the simple things even when they are disgusting. Anyways, in the end Ethan won his game with a score of 4-2 and Dylan won his with a score of 1-0. I unfortunately made the mistake of wearing my converse which are now muddy:[

What A Nice Surprise

So I'm sitting in our family room minding my own business baby sitting my siblings when I hear the door bell ring. I get up to go see who it is and I got the biggest surprise of my life. It was none other then Elder Harris! He was one of our many favorite missionaries that we missed when he left our ward. Anyways, so I walk up to the door and I scream well it was more of a yelp for joy because I hadn't seen him in FOREVER and he was cool, and all my siblings are like, "WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?" so i said " ITS ELDER HARRIS!" then everyone ran to the door and TA-DA! One happy reunion :] So we talked for a good 15 minutes or so about school and church and home life. Then I asked him about all the places he had been and I got to meet his companion Elder Chase from Utah. Considering it was me and no parents I called my mom and he talked to my mom on the phone for a little bit. When that was all said and done they had to leave so they could go see my mom before they threw in the towel for the night. So we said our good byes and they were gone. Its always nice to see a friend you haven't seen in a long time, I'm sure everyone who reads this knows what I'm talking about. Its like you lose a dog and then a week later you wake up with him at your feet its just a nice and unexpected surprise. Isn't that the point of surprises though?, just when you think something or someone is gone forever they pop back up into your life. My point is, you never know when something that always been in your grasp will be stripped from you, and sometimes you never get to see those things again. Make the most of the time you have with people, you never know when their going to leave you and whether it'll be temporary or permanent. Love all those around you even if they do get on your nerves, what goes around comes around.

The classic Chuck Taylor's...

I just recently bought my first pair of Chuck Taylor's and when I first put them on it was pure magic. I had some knock offs that looked just like them only they were brown and didn't quite feel the same, if you know what I mean. Anyway, with in the first few days of having them I asked my parents if they had some growing up expecting a yes because just about every adult I know did. My dad took the more conservative route with black and white while my mom went with a funky bright baby blue. I guess I take after my mom seeing that I went with bright red. Since Chuck Taylor's first came out however, there are more designs that have come and go then ever before. Mine are not only red BUT they are double tongue and the tongue that flips down is polka dotted with lady bugs ill post a picture once i get one so you can see. Anyway, the point of this was to show that Chuck Taylor's are here to stay and i don't expect them to be leaving anytime soon and even if they do I'm not really a follower so they'll continue to live on through me long after they go out of style. :] converse = love = one happy Chelsea
