Complete Fail!

Yup thats right... That blog challenge was not for me. I don't have enough time for it. I think I will stick to my once a week updates. :)

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. :)

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!!!

Other new for today

KATEE CALLED!!!

Best alarm clock I have ever had! Good luck sister! I am cheering for you! Making me proud! ( you already do.) The people in Tacoma are so luck! Love you!

I hope everyone had a great weekend!

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 the same cell phone: 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!!!!



PEACE OUT  2010 HELLO 2011!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lets make it a good one!
