Twilight

Me and five of my friends went to the midnight showing of Twilight last night. I went with an open mind but not expecting much. I LOVED it! It was so good and the characters were really well cast. I was so happy I didn't waste my money. And it's always so fun to hang with your girlfriends and eat too many treats, all while drooling over the hottest vampire in the world.

Friendship

Throughout our lives, we are blessed with many friends and many opportunities to make new friends. I am a person who loves people. One of my pet peeves in life is when people don't take care of each other. I have always felt that if you say you are a friend then you should just be one. We all have our issues, problems, hang-ups, etc. etc. Who cares? When you put it all out there, you get it back somehow. Maybe not from everyone all the time but you definitely get it back.
One of my best friends and I were talking tonight. She was upset about some things and she called me so she could work through them and feel better. I want her to know that I love her with all of my heart and nothing could ever change that. I know that Heavenly Father brought us together because we need each other. Our friendship is by divine design. I thank God every day that we are in each others lives.
Thank you to all of you who are my friends. I care about you and love you all more than you know.

Jumping On The Bandwagon

I am going to be making my blog private. There are too many bad things that go on out there in the world and I want to be able to share things about my family with those I know and love. If you are interested, please send me your e-mail address. I will be public for about another week but after that, it will be done. Thanks!

Call For Book Club

We need to have a book club meeting! I have been finished with the Alchemist for a long time now. I found it to be a fascinating book that I would love to read again.
If anyone has read this, please feel free to comment and leave your thoughts. I want to know what you thought of it.
***please be advised***-Being allowed to even comment on anything "The Kelly Club" is doing, is a great privilege in and of itself. Do NOT take this responsibility lightly;)

Historic Day

For the first time in our nation's history, America has elected the first African-American president. I never thought it would happen. Not because I didn't think it should, I just thought most Americans would be too narrow minded to do it. It says a lot about us and how far we have come in the last 50 years.
I did not vote for Obama. He does not fit into my picture of what a president should be. Mind you, neither does John McCain but he was the lesser of 2 evils for me.
I do think that Obama has the chance to step up and be a great leader. I truly hope he does and proves me, and a lot of other people, wrong. I would love to eat my words on this one.
At any rate, I love this country and all of the blessings and opportunities it affords me and my family. I am proud and very grateful to be an American.

Catching Up

We had a wonderfully fun Halloween season this year. We had many a party with both family and friends. The annual Grandma Walker pumpkin painting party was a hit as usual. The boys had fun hanging out with their cousins, eating too many sweets (thanks Kami!) and painting pumpkins. Thanks grandma and grandpa Walker for all the work in putting it together.
We also had fun at Shelley and Dan's house for the annual "We can never get enough of Glen's chili" party. Grandpa Adams is an amazing cook and we love getting together to eat and catch up with everyone. We even had "Sarah Palin" (aka Aunt Ace) grace us with her presence.






We also had a party here at our house with our dear friends. The Jolley's, the Maxfield's and the Barker's came up to eat dinner, decorate cookies and play Halloween games with all our kiddies. Between our 4 families, we have 14 kids. They all get a long so well. They have never even had a disagreement between them. I think Heavenly Father has allowed this for the sake of their mothers. We need each other so our kids get along. It is so great.
Tyson was the Joker this year and he was a good one. Jaden was Legolas from Lord of the Rings. Corbin was Gandalf from Lord of the Rings. I was a cute girly pirate.
Too much candy, too much food and too much fun! Thanks everyone!

Rock The Vote
