Pick up the Change.

The past few weeks have been monumental in my life. I don't know why it had to happen now, and what inspired it. I would love to ramble on about every little thing that has changed for me.  In short, I am starting to discover that I have always been a somewhat close-minded person, and I never realized it until recently. I have to say I am very grateful for the people in my life that have the guts to stand up to me and let me know when I need to make a change. There are some really important things I believe in now....

1. You can absolutely let your guard down sometimes. I have trouble trusting people, but sometimes it is perfectly fine to take the risk.

2. Be open-minded. Just because people have different beliefs or desires as you, doesn't mean they are wrong. The majority of people are trying their best to find happiness, and everyone is dealing with some kind of struggle. No matter how many times I judge someone, I always find out I'm the one in the wrong.

3. Forgiveness is one of the most important things to learn. Everyone makes mistakes, even big ones. It may take time, but there is always room to forgive eventually.

4. The grass is ALWAYS going to look greener on the other side, but take a closer glance. What you've got is pretty damn great. And if it's not, I hope you'll take the steps to make it great.

5. This is the hardest one for me, but when it seems like the whole world is caving in around you, it usually means that you are the one that needs to make a change. It's much harder, and inevitably impossible to change everyone else's perspective.

 

Please don't take this like I'm implying anything going on in my life. There are SO many events that have made me realize these things. I know this is all oober sentimental, and I don't mean to sound preachy, heaven forbid. This is mainly for me. Thanks to you all for being in my life, it's truly fabulous.

Take a Kels to Work Day.

(Don't worry, this picture is supposed to be ultra-cheesy)

My sister Kels, is in ninth grade, which means-- the year you have to job shadow. I assume everyone had to do this in school too. You have to pick a career and go to work with someone that does that for a living. So, Kelsy chose to go to work with me.

Sounds reaaally fun, but as Kelsy learned, baking isn't always as fun as it looks, and can be really tiring ;)

She ended up working with me for 5 1/2 long hours. Since we woke up at 5:45, by the end of the day she looked pretty beat up. But I had fun!! Haha, sorry I worked you so hard Kels! But thanks for picking me, I had a blast.

Kelsy was an AMAZING froster. She beat out a lot of the people I've trained:

 

This was the BEST part of the day. A family ordered 150 cupcakes with their daughter's face on it for her birthday. Kels and I had a good laugh making these. (blurred for obvious reasons)

Kels, I hope you don't hate cupcakes now,  I know you had a blast. Don't deny it!

Love you!

Like Mother, Like Daughter.

So GEN came in this weekend, but we only got to see her for like two hours, so it wasn't even worth it! Sorry Gen, I wish you had been here longer. But while she was hanging out at the house, my older sister, Malia, was wearing my mom's clothes, since she had spilled on hers.

Kristin and Gennie decided we should all throw on some of my ma's clothes, since some of them she has kept in her closet since the 80's. All of us, including my oldest brother, threw on our favorite outfits my mom has had throughout the years. Dano was the only sibling not there, since he was chilling at snow college :(

We even got my nephew to try on one of her jackets for a millisecond:

 

And lastly, the CUTEST pic of Grammy and Betos:

We love our momma. She always goes along with our jokes, thanks for the good times!
