I've been thinking alot lately about the things I want to do while I'm home in Oregon. My thoughts are so jumbled that I figured it would be easier just to write them down on this.
-At least 10 hours of yardwork a week. That equals $90(having already taken out tithing) and will go to my Jerusalem fund.
-Call Rachel BEFORE I get home and tell her I want to babysit for her the rest of the summer. If she doesn't need me for some reason, I'll call her friend Angela who I originally babysat for during Junior and Senior years of highschool. They both have boy twins. Each set is the same age, and all four are good friends. It's fun! Sometimes I get to watch them all at once.... it can be a pain but they're better at minding me than you'd expect :)
-Play either the piano or my violin each day. If I feel like doing both, then great.
-Read: Jesus the Christ. Jerusalem, the Eternal City. Dune. Finish the Belgariad. Finish Tales from the 1001 Nights. Finish the Book of Mormon. Re-read The Half-Blood Prince before the movie comes out. Sounds like a lot, but if you know me, you know I can do it :)
-Don't put off playing with my highschool friends until the last few weeks I'm home. I did that last year. I will play at least 3 times a week. I have a car there, it shouldn't be too hard.
-Go to the beautiful Portland Temple at least twice.
-Go on at least one overnight backpacking trip with Hannah and Callie. With Hannah's dad. The three of us have learned to never go very far without a priesthood holder.
-Run at LEAST three times a week. I'm on a running high lately so I think I can do more than that. Jared told me everyone will gain around 10-15 lbs in Jerusalem... so if that happens, I'm going to make sure I'm not coming back weighing more than I do right now.
-Go on a bike ride with Hannah, Callie, Ricky, Jon, or Matt. Or all 5. We love each other :)
-Watch Scrubs season 8
-Go to the midnight showing of Harry Potter with aforementioned people... plus many others.
-Take a long weekend to visit Laura!
-Take a trip to the Oregon Coast to see my usual sights that I've been craving.
-Come back to Utah for Travis and Shannon's wedding??? You have no idea how serious I am about wanting to come...
-Make sure a weekend will work out for Laura to come visit me!
-Practice dance somehow, somewhere.
-Finish Zelda, Ocarina of Time
-Learn how to use my new, good, photography camera well. Have Hannah show me how to be artistic with it :)
That's all I can remember for right now. There are probably a few other things. Sorry this is so long and probably boring for everyone but me to read. I have two months starting this time next week. I probably won't have time to sleep, but it will be worth it! Ready, Set, GO!
About Me
- Kellie Rachelle
- I'm a tall, redheaded Oregonian who is studying English, Editing, and Ballroom. I dance, I play, I read, I contemplate. I love milk, naps, novels, sand, mountains, singing at the top of my lungs, H&M, earrings, sudoku, and driving. One of my favorite things to do is stare down people that were already staring at me. Most of the time they look away, and voilà! Awkward situation averted. Also, I love waking up to the sound of birds or rain. In fact, I love anything with rain. The smell of rain is what Heaven will smell like to me. And the Call to Prayer echoing over the city of Jerusalem is my favorite sound in the entire world.

I LOVE Zelda: Ocarina of Time. Maybe I'll finish that again this summer too. I did it last summer and it was definitely worth it.
I finally found your blog! I saw that you were following me, and thought I found it then, but wasn't subscribed for some reason. Sounds like you have a great summer planned!
