Sorry for the short post but this is what I am thankful for!!! Love you all!

The month of November!!!

Yeah for November!!!! I love this time of year.....minus the driving in the snow part. I love the Holiday season that is coming and I really really really love all the time that I get to spend with family and friends. Thanksgiving is such a great holiday. To kick off the month I am going to try to do a post 3 times a week with something that I am grateful for.  I know lots of people are doing this but I think it's a great idea.

Day 1
November 3rd-

Today I am grateful for my brother and sister who are on a mission. Everyday on my way home from work I see the same two missionaries walking down the street. Rain, snow, heat, and  wind that could take you down, they are still walking to go and help someone that is in need. I know that Katee and Colton are out doing the same things. I am grateful for the example that they are to me. I am grateful for the blessing I have received in my life because they are serving the lord and his children. I Love you both! Thanks for all that you have done for me in my life. :)

p.s. Look for more posts to come.. I have someone I need to intoduce to the blogging world.

Honeymoon to Disneyland!

Okay finally after a month of being married here is the honeymoon post.

The day after the wedding we headed out to good old Disneyland!!!! We decided to drive there and I am so happy that we did. It was so fun to spend time just talking and having fun with no one else around to bug us. :) ( I mean that with as much love as possible)

The first day we spent or day driving, driving and more driving.
The second day we finally go to sleep in, went to the beach, ate at Ruby's on the pier, watched some surfing, and did lots of shopping.
The third day we went to Disneyland and California adventures. It was so much fun.
The fourth day we went to Disneyland and California adventures again. And again we had a blast!
On the fifth day we spent our day driving and driving and more  driving.
When we got home we were able to spend the next couple of days relaxing and putting our house together. Lets just say that it was super hard going back to work after being off for 2 weeks. I am so happy that we decided to go to disneyland. We had lots of time to do everything that we had planned to do. We will be making this a yearly tradition for sure!
Here are some pictures. I hope you like them.

Did you know that tooth paste comes in clear tubes? Because I had no idea. . . . Love it! 

 

September 8th 2011

Best Day Ever!!

First of all, Thank you so much to everyone that made our wedding day amazing.
Mom- Thank you so so so so much for everything. It was even more than I had hoped for.

To all the people that helped in the kitchen- Thank you! The food was amazing. Thank you for staying late to help clean everything up.

Family- Thanks for all your help. Thanks to those that helped decorate and take down. It wouldn't have been so great with out your help.

To everyone that came to the wedding- Thanks for your love and support. We have the best families and friends.

.....Wedding Day.....


The whole day was amazing. It started off with me waking up at 5. yep I slept like a baby ( in my mom and dad's room) until 5 when my internal alarm clock went off. (curse you going to work at 6am.)
After waking up I got ready for the day and then my cousin Amy came over and did my hair. (Amy you are amazing. Thanks for everything you did for me and my mom that day.) After that we (me, mom and dad) got into the car and off we went to the temple. What an amazing experience the temple was. Best part of the day. I am pretty sure Riley and I had smiles on are faces from the time we walked into the temple to the time we left the reception. well....minus the part where I almost got a bloody nose while taking pictures on temple square... that would have been a mess. :) Anyways, after the temple and ALL the picture taking we headed off to get all the stuff ready that we needed for the reception and our honeymoon.  After that we headed off to Noah's for are great reception. Once at the reception center we started putting all the final detail together. Thank you so much for everyone who was there to help. I can't say thank you enough. Everything was perfect. The wedding cake, flowers, centerpieces, green and black lanterns, food, and picture table all looked great. After the setting up we got dressed into are wedding attire and took MORE pictures. ( Linda Mattson you are amazing. You have so much patience and I love are pictures.) After that it was the wedding line, Cake cutting, where Riley was super nice and I might smashed a small piece of cake in his face... but oh well right. You have to have some fun. Then there was the wedding bouquet toss, that Katee caught and the guarder toss that Colton caught. ( Picture to come soon. ) After that it was the father daughter dance to the one and only Tim McGraw and then Riley and I had are first dance to the one and only Tim McGraw. Tim was really popular at the wedding. After that we had a party with all of friends on the dance floor. Not to mention we got to enjoy some great snow cones from our small snow cone station at the wedding. SOOOOO GOOD!!! After dancing the night away we said goodbye to friends and family and left with a grand exit of sparklers! Thanks to everyone who decorated my car with marshmallows, swedish fish, and peanut butter cups..... I will seek revenge. :) Oh yes, I forgot about the poppers that were duct taped to the inside of the car. Thank goodness for power washers. Picture this.... Riley in his wedding attire and I in my wedding dress washing the car off at 10:00 pm. Thanks everyone. :) I will try and post wedding pictures as soon as we get them. I am so excited to see them. Well September 8th was great! Being married has been great. I love it. Riley Woods, I love you. But, it is still kind of weird when you call me your wife.. Love it!!! Stayed tuned for our great Disneyland adventure. :)

Ever since I was little......

I have dreamed of this day. I can't wait for tomorrow. I feel like a kid at Christmas! Well if you are not in a cheesy kind of mood then please exit my blog. All others can stay.

Mom- thanks for sticking with me through everything.I know you have had hard times when you have wanted to walk away from me and my wedding planning..... Buuuuuut you didn't. You have been the biggest help and I love you so much.thanks for helping me move, plan my wedding, helping me when I got a wicked bad bloody nose as I was trying to pack,The full tank of gas, helping me calm down the day of the wedding dinner when all I wanted to do was cry. There are a billion other things but you get the picture. Tomorrow is going to be great because of you. Thanks for being my mom and one of my best friends. I promise to not be a pain tomorrow.

Flo- same goes for you. Thanks for giving me the wedding of my dreams. You are amazing. Thanks for working so hard. You are the most amazing dad. I am so luck.

Lilly liver

The term Lilly liver comes from the one and only " ice age " I love this movie with all of my heart. The rearm Lilly liver is used when syd the sloth is making fun of Diego. Diego is scared of water so syd calls him a Lilly liver. Okay so you are all probably wondering why this is important. Well I am also a Lilly liver. I am not scared of water but, I am scared of:

Lightning and thunder.. Yes I know thunder can't do anything to you but I hate it!

The dark. This includes walking into the dark by myself. I don't like the unknown.

Spiders. The more I fear them the more I see them. I am the only one that can spot a spider at my house.

Yes, I am becoming more brave in my old age. The last 2 night I slept in my own bed all by myself when the rain storms hit. However my mom being the gem that she is put my car in the garage last night because I was to scared. She is a champ. Thanks for understaning me mom.

Yes, I do walk downstairs to my garage every morning... But if I hear a noise I will run back upstairs and ask my dad if he wouldn't mind escorting me down to my car. He never makes a big deal out of it and he never makes fun of me.....( truth is he is scared too.) he is also a champ.

Yes, I have learned that I can be in the same room while a spider is being killed but the in no way I could ever kill one. Big thanks to Riley, flo, and momma for helping me with this one.

Many of you are probably wondering why I am admitting this to the blog world?

The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem.

End of story.

My grandpa harward

My grandpa passed away August 12. It has been really hard to see my family so sad. It is weird not saying goodbye to him every time I leave my grandma's house. As hard as these things are I know that my grandpa is in a much better place. He is free of pain and that makes me so happy.

The two weeks before he passed we all spent lots of time together as a family. I don't remember a lot of it but I do remember that It was nice to say are goodbyes. the funeral went really well. My grandpa has done lots of great things in his life and it was good to be reminded of them. My mom, dad, and cousin brad spoke. They all did amazing. It is just want grandpa would have wanted. I said the opening pray. I was so nervous. I thought that I would brake down and cry but I pulled myself together and it went pretty well..... I think.


I love my family so much. My grandma is one amazing lady. She is so strong. She is always putting other people before her. I want to be like her when I grow up.

Oh how I love my family.

Tim McGraw ........so good looking!!!!!! 8/6/2011

A week before the concert Riley sent me a message at work saying that he had a surprise for me. Instead of making him tell me I decided to play along. When he got off work he came to my house to show me the surprise. I was in heaven. 2 grass seat tickets!!! ( the grass seat thing is important). I was so excited!!!!!! So the day came and after a long day of wedding stuff I was so ready to go. As we were driving I remembered that we had forgotten a blanket. So yes we had to stop and buy one.... That was an adventure! We finally arrived, got into the long line,got through the long line, found seats on the grass, and waited...... When the concert was about to start I noticed a ticket man that was giving something away to the people next to us. At first I didn't think anything of it and then I noticed that the man was given away stadium seating tickets. After begging Riley to go get some he finally did. ( I would have done it myself but......let's face it, I. Don't. Like. Strangers. ) once we got the tickets we went down to are new seats! I was in love. It was a great night. People watching, gross drunk people, weird first date people sitting next to us, over priced blanket, great candy, great seats and the one and only Tim McGraw. Riley Woods you are the best.
P.s. I planned on taking pictures..... My camera died before I even had a chance. Maybe next time!!

Summer..... Where did you go?

This summer has been nuts!!!! Planning a wedding, buying a house, working full time, having my grandpa pass away, painting our house and getting it all ready, starting school..... I could go on and on but you get the idea. Somethings were not in my plan for this summer but, that's life. all I can say is that I am so thankful for my amazing families. :) When Riley and I first got engaged I thought time was going to creep by. I was wrong. I can't believe that we only have 10 days left and we started at 156 days!!! with all the crazy stuff that has been going on it doesn't surprise me that it went so fast. Well I hope you liked this small introduction. Say tuned for all the details.

Stay tuned for......

-Tim mcgraw
-the happenings with the family
-wedding
-our new house!


Sorry for the lack of blogging. If you find me time I promise I will blog! :)
Stay tuned! Love you all.

So much to say........so little time to say it!

Hello everyone! I seems like it has been forever! My life has been crazy busy! Planning a wedding, trying to get closed on our future house, and working full time is pretty much all I can handle. This summer has been great and I am in love with the weekends!!! So far the only thing I have done this summer is a 5k and the drive in. The 5k was great because my dad was right next to me. Also good job to Riley and mer who did a great job. Wedding plans are still in the works. I can't believe we are less than 2 months away!!!! All I have to say is yyyyyyeeeeeaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!! Sept 8th needs to hurry! Like I said before we are in the process of buying are own town house! I am in love with it. Pictures will come as soon as we close. You will all have to come and visit. However all visits will be byoc! Aka bring you own chairs! :) we lack in the furniture department. :) just kidding. I will find you somthing to sit on if you stop by.....:) we do have 3 toilets so you could always sit on one of those. Well everyone here is your update. Peace out! P.s. Happy birthday dad! I hope you have a great day!! Love you!!!!

Happy Fathers Day to the one and only.......

FLO!!!!!!
I am so thankful for my dad. He is such an amazing person. He is always willing to help me with anything that I need. He is always teaching me that I need to do my best. He has always told me that I can do anything I want if I work hard enough. Thanks for always loving me dad. He has always made sure that we have had the best of things. One of the things that I will always remember about my dad is the time when I first went to girls camp. He went out and got the best of the best sleeping bags for me and Katee. He told us that when he was a kid he would freeze at night and he made a promise to himself that no matter how much money a good sleeping bag was he would get it for us. :) My dad has always been an amazing example to me. He is always teaching me ways to serve people. I can't think of a time when he hasn't helped someone that is in need. My dad has also taught me how important it is to respect people. I am so so thankful that he has raised our family in the gospel. I wouldn't be where I am today if it wasn't for him and my mom. My dad has always taught me that if we center our lives around christ and the gospel we will never be let down. Happy Fathers day dad. I love you so much! I hope you have a great day!

Love, Kelsee Lee

April 5, 2011 :)

Riley and I are getting married!!!!

Here is the story......

Tuesday Riley emailed me at work and told me that we were going to go feed the ducks.  I told him that I did not want to go feed the ducks because it was to cold and it rainy outside. He then emailed me back and said, " there is only a 30% chance of rain! We are going to feed the ducks." I said, " we will talk about this later." Soooo...... When Riley got off work he was still insisting that we went to the park to feed the ducks. So I finally agreed. ( this doesn't mean I was happy about it.) When we got to the park we started walking to the pond. We couldn't find any ducks but Riley did find some geese. I hate geese so I told him that he could go feed them by himself. As he started walking away he suddenly turned around and said, " I have a surprise for you!" I said what? And then he said,  " WILL YOU MARRY ME?" (on one knee of course) I then hit him with a loaf of bread and said yes!!!!

So there you have it everyone! September 8th is the day. We are so excited!

Here are some pictures that Riley's brother and sister in-law. There are kind of far away but you get the idea. Thanks Brinton and Becky!

Please excuse my  gross hair.

Life is still crazy busy with no sign of slowing down. Work and school are my life. Good thing I have a great job that I LOVE!!  Life at the Balmforth house is starting to feel normal. Mom, Dad, and kelsee. Good times!!! I miss my brother and sister more than ever. I really need to be better at writing them. They always amaze me. They are great examples to me and I love them so much. This weekend I finally decided to buy a new phone. I have had the same phone for 3 years. For some of you that is not a long time but for me it is! My little blackberry has been through alot in its short 3 years of life. The poor thing was taped together. Anyways I figured I could finally spend some money and get a new one. I walked into T-mobile yesterday prepared to spends lots of money.....I walked out with only spend $50 on a $350 phone. Yeah I am a money saver!! I love my new little purple phone. It better last forever!!!  Well everyone I hope you all have a happy sunday! Have V-day tomorrow. I am going to try and most more.....hahah YEAH RIGHT! Love you!

Day 2 – A photo of something you ate today

Well Sorry I don't take pictures of my food. . . . I think that is just weird. Buuuut I do have a funny story about something that I ate today.

Before me and Riley went to the movies tonight I told him I wanted to go to chick-fil-a. As we were ordering our food I told him that  we were going take it in and eat it while watching the movie. Riley was freaking out when I told him the plan. He was not okay with breaking the rules. After much debate I finally talked him into doing it. As we were walking in he was so scared and he kept telling me that we were going to get into trouble......( yeah right) Well we made it into the movie and are dinner was great!!! I LOVE CHICKEN.... and I also love my chicken of a boyfriend.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend. :)

My day started at 4:05 am .... I got to work by 6. (I Love PCMC) Work was fun. I love team meetings. I work with some funny people. I got off work at 2:30 and was home at 3:10. Yup that is all I have done today. Tonight is going to be fun. I am going to my gramdpas birthday party and then spending some good quality time with riley...which will probably end by 9 because I can't stay away anymore.... :) Have a great Friday everyone. p.s. GO JAZZ!!!

 

Work, School, Sleep, Work, School, Sleep, Work, School, Sleep

This is on crappy pattern...But..... I wouldn't change it for anything!!!

Work is great. I love the people I work with and I love what I do. Working at PCMC is so much fun! well... minus the 35 minute drive there and back. If the hospital could just move to Taylorsville I would be so happy!!!

School kind of sucks. I wish I was DONE!! But, I have a long ways to go! Only a couple more semester!!!

Sleep!! I LOVE SLEEP! I wish I could do it more. I cherish every moment of my sleep!!!!

Well that is my life. nothing new has happened.  I must say I do love living life as an only child. ( Not saying that I want it to stay this way.) My mom and Dad are the best. They take good care of me. They are always buying me stuff for lunches and taking me to dinner! LOVE THEM!!!! Colton has been gone for 3 months today!!!! It is starting to go by fast now that I am working everyday. he is such a great missionary. He is also still one of my best friends. He always makes sure I am keeping up with everything in my life. Katee is also doing really well! She loves her mission. She also still takes great care of me. Oh yes I must not forget about Calee. She is great. She is always making sure I am well taken care of. I love her. ...( and I love the baby inside of her.) Yup thats right I have the best family!!! Well I better get back to my homework. I wish it would do itself!!! love you all!

( Here is an update to everyone that has been telling me to update......Riley........) Don't worry I didn't forget about you. Love you!

For all of you that pray for snow...

I have always been a snow lover..... but, I am sad to say that my new job has turned me into a snow HATER!!!! And when I say HATER I MEAN HATER! I Hate waking up at 3:50 AM to find  that I need to hurry and get ready so I can make my long journey to PCMC. I love my job but I hate the snowie drives. The reason why I tell you this is because I had a driving adventure last Thursday when we had that big blizzard. ( Dear news people, that storm on Thursday is the definition of a BLIZZARD.) Anyways, As I was getting on the freeway at redwood I realized that the freeways were going to be no fun. My car did okay until I went to get on the belt route. As soon as I started going up my car decided that is was done! My car decided that is was not going to go up the snow covered hill. I tried and tried but nothing happened. So finally I called The one and only FLO!! Many of you know Flo as Lee Balmforth aka man who is good at driving when it comes to snow aka my father.  ( may I remind you all that this was at 4: 30 in the AM. ) When my dad answered the phone he already knew what had happened. He is a smart one! (And the fact that a couple days before we couldn't even get my car out of the drive way that didn't even have 2 inches of snow on it. ) Flo told me not to do anything else and he would be there to help me asap. so about 15 minutes later my mom and dad save me. ( bless my moms heart.... She does not like the mornings.) my dad got into my car with me and my mom got up the hill and took the next exit. My dad had to drive my car all the way down the on ramp. It was pretty cool I must say. after that we parked my car at IMC and my mom and dad took me to work. The best part of this story is that I was on time for work. My parents are the best! So for all of you that pray for snow......please  remember us little people that have to be to work at 6AM. Thanks.
I sure wish I would have remembered to take pictures of this!


Thanks to my mom and dad for always being there for me!! I love you so much. You guys are the best. I know if I ever need help with anything they are the ones to call.

All I have to say is.... Someone has to keep them on their toes! Love you!!!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

What a crazy year it has been. So many things have changed. I can honestly say that this has been the hardest year of my life. I think I say that every year but this time I really mean it!! So many things have changed! I love all the changes but it has not always been easy. I have learned that I am a lot stronger than I thought I was. I wouldn't change one thing about 2010! It has been a great/hard year.
Here is a list of some of the the major events that happened:

* Found a pretty great boyfriend.
* Decided to try really school.
* Went on lots of trips with family and friends. Las Vegas, Cedar City, St. George, Nauvoo, California, and Idaho.
* Started a new job at IHC working registration for all the hospitals
* Found out that I am going to be an aunt!
* Said " See ya later" to my Brother. Love him so much!
* Said " See ya later" to my Sister. Love her so much!
* Finished my first semester of " real school" with great grades.
* Got a new job working registration at primary childrens same day surgery.

Well that is just a few of the things that have happened this year.

This new years was a great one. It started with me finding and reading my perdictions from last year. Some of the perdictions were:

I will have a boyfriend: Check
I will have a new job: Check
I will be going to school at the U: Not Check
My hair will be the same color ( light brown): Not Check.... Its kind of brown?
I won't live at home: Not Check..........I am so happy that this is a not check. I love living at home. :)
I will read my scriptures everyday: CHECK!!!

I will have passed my State Boards: Not Check

I think I have had a pretty good year....

After read my perdictions I helped my mom with some stuff and then my family came over for a PARTY!!
My favorite part of New Years is watching the ball drop in New York!
Thanks to my family and friends for making 2010 such a great year. It has been a hard year, but I wouldn't change it for anything!
As for 2011 I hope that you come and go really fast. I hope that you give me a year of peace and good times. I can't wait to see what happens.

My new years resolutions for 2011 are:

*To Be as happy as possible.
* Don't get mad about things that I can't change.
* Cut back on the CANDY.
* Write my missionaries once a week.
* Save as much money as possible

I think I can totally do this!!!!
