girly-parts

I am in need of some lady advice.
My girly-parts doctor has moved to a practice far away, and I don't want to drive a long time to go see her.
So I need a new doctor.
Anyone have one they would recommend? (I would prefer that the dr be a woman)

One other thing.
I am also in need of a new hair stylist.
Person and place.
I haven't been to one in a long time. (The last person to cut my hair was my sister)
So if you have one of those to recommend too, I would appreciate it a lot.

Thanks a million!

sister

Today I got to Skype with this lovely lady.

She is in Botswana, Africa.
Studying abroad, having crazy adventures, and just being the typical amazing sister that she is.

Talking to her today was the perfect medicine for me. Nothing is wrong, I just realized how much I miss her, and it was incredible to just sit and stare at her pixelated face (the University of Botswana has a pretty poor internet connection) and talk about everything.

I love my sister, and I'm so proud of her for being such an adventurous girl.

You can read all about her adventures here, if you'd like.

from a prophet

“... What really matters is that he will love you,that he will 

respect you, that he will honor you, that he will be absolutely 

true to you, that he will give you the freedom of expression

 and let you fly in the development of your own talents. He is

 not going to be perfect, but if he is kind and thoughtful, if he

 knows how to work and earn a living, if he is honest and full 

of faith, the chances are you will not go wrong—that you will 

be immensely happy.”

-Pres. Gordon B. Hinckley

One of my goals for this year is to blog more. We'll see how that works out.

So, to start off my goal on a high point, I decided to give in to social media trends and post five things that you may not know about me. I'm only giving in slightly since I'm not posting it on Instagram or Facebook.

1. I know practically everything there is to know about Harry Potter, and I love it.
2. When I can, I watch "Keeping up with the Kardashians," or any show affiliated with that family. Judge me all you want.
3. I have my Bachelor's degree, and I'm still not really sure what I want to be when I grow up.
4. I am allergic to penicillin.
5. I took singing lessons for five years.

merry christmas

Dear blogging world,

Merry Christmas! I'm just about to go to bed, but I thought I would share something super neat that I get to do in April.

I get to go here:

And here:

(found the pics on Pinterest. My most fave website ever.)

Can you believe it?! My wonderful mother is taking me there with her. While she is in a bunch of smarty-pants science meetings, I get to wander London, just me and my camera. Super stoked. And then, when her meetings are done, we're taking the tube under the channel to Paris (the city I've dreamed of visiting ever since my first French class in high school. Don't worry, I don't speak one word of French. I learned nothing.)


I'm so excited!!! I only wish C could come. Then it would be the perfect trip.

before and after

Remember a few weeks ago when I said I had something exciting to share?

I'm finally getting around to sharing it.

Who remembers this?

Guess what? It doesn't look like that anymore!

Check it out!

Can you believe it? I'm so happy about it. Now we get to live with construction for another 6+ months while the upstairs gets redone.

Dear JM,

Please help me lose weight and be skinny.

Sincerely,
KW
