If you have not yet heard this song, please fall in love with it like I have! Not only is the tune quite catchy, It makes me think about how lucky I am that Taylor didn't bite his tongue! If any of you reading this LOVE someone and haven't told them, JUST DO IT {i'm sure that phrase is trademark, heres to Nike}. I could listen to this song OVER and OVER and OVER again its so wonderful!!

Its really amazing to me how people end up together. I guess I've been thinking about it so much because my best friend in the UNIVERSE {besides my sweet husband of course} has found her one and only and they are getting Sealed for time and all eternity in less than 3 weeks! I am SO thrilled and ecstatic to have another married-couple friend, and I'm so happy that Ben found Stephanie, they are SO perfect for each other!

I remember when I met Taylor, I had no idea I would be marrying him. Don't get me wrong I thought he was DANG cute, but we met on a camping trip a friend invited me on, and I had heard she was into him, and I didn't want to intrude on that. I am so grateful that Taylor didn't lose contact with me when I moved to Utah, I am so grateful that he hung around even when I was on a no-guy stretch, I am so grateful he didn't let me push him away, and I am so grateful that he told me loved me, got down on one knee and asked me to be his and that we are sealed now for time and all eternity!

And I'm glad I didn't bite my tongue either :)

I just don't know what to do with myself..

So for a few months now I've been terribly confused. I KNEW when I started into ASL that I wanted to go as far as I could, but I don't remember if I KNEW I was supposed to interpret. Maybe I'm not. I keep thinking that I'm just not good enough at signing, and as I've gotten a new calling I no longer have that wonderful opportunity to improve. I don't have any signing classes right now so I'm at a stand still, not even that, when you don't sign consistently YOU LOSE IT, just like any other language. So I'm actually UNimproving. 

I just keep thinking maybe interpreting ISN'T for me. But I don't know what IS. I've been trying to figure this out for so long, and I am so frustrated that I haven't yet. All through high school I worked my butt off so I could get my generals for college out of the way. I took 3 years of CADD, and finished my math and science requirements. The summer before my senior year I worked for my uncle drafting, for year thats what I thought I wanted to do. I LOVED the creative and computer side of CADD, but not drafting lines all day. Then I tried Interior Design at ASU, again the computer design part was fun, but I hated drawing, and just didn't have the drive.After that I did a semester of Early Childhood Education, which ended early {NOT for me} and was the start of my one year break from school.

Finally when I was up in Utah I got this super strong desire to learn more Sign, and it kept nagging at me until I started my classes at Phoenix College. But now, I feel like this is all wrong. I have no idea why, I'm not starting my period any time soon, and I'm not preggo so it's not my hormones {I know for some that was the first thing thats the first thing you though huh}. I just feel like I need to figure out what I want to do so I can DO it already! I want to stop wasting time, but I want to have passion for what I'm doing, I want to feel like I'm on the right track, and I just don't feel it. help!

I hate feeling like I'm wasting time, absolutely despise this feeling. What else am I supposed to do though? I literally tried everything I can think of. I want to have a skill, a usable, helpful skill. I want my skill to improve the lives of others...but I can't think of what I could possibly do to help any one. 

I just don't understand why I can't be like everyone else I know, who knows exactly what they want career-wise and gets it done, and works, and loves it. I've been at this for 5 years now, why am I not finished and working?????? Not to mention, I feel like all this time spent going to school for something I don't feel right about I could be spending working a full-time job and helping with bills...

and now for the repeat.

I just don't know what to do with myself. {also, good song, the white stripes, pity about the break-up}

The Happiest

Happy Valentines Day everyone! 

Me and Taylor had a fun weekend, unfortunately I did not keep to my New Years Resolution and no photographs were taken {I'm awful I know, sorry y'all}

Friday, for the first time {that I can remember anyways} my honey took me to THE HAPPIEST PLACE ON EARTH! DISNEY LAND! I had so much fun! I even ran into one of my best friends growing up Emilie Gibson! and My buddy from single life Kent Thurston! It IS certainly a small world after all folks! I don't think Taylor had as much as I did, but I'm grateful for him stickin' in there and taking me to the one place I've been DYING to go for...well YEARS, it was nice BIG surprise!

We stayed Friday night at Pat and Annie's in San Clemente, we love them! Then Saturday morning attended my niece {yes I can say that now! I have a niece!} Grace's baptism! I gave a talk on Baptism, and my favorite Chinese Brother-in-Law gave the talk on the Holy Ghost, it was a beautiful baptism and we are so proud of Gracie and love her so much!!

This morning I got my crown which went really well, I'm finding I actually LIKE the dentist now, weird..{I just realized I didn't tell you how my root canal went! actually it wasn't bad AT ALL! seriously! I was so intrigued, and I wasn't scared of the shots! and they didn't even hurt that bad! and my endodontist was wonderful and had magic hands, I didn't feel a thing, and my mouth barely hurt the next day! awesome sauce!} 

This week is a busy one with school and work, but like always we will get through it! We're excited for this weekend because...

Sus and Kelvin {and their fun boys Simon, Miles, and Titus!} are coming to Arizona to stay for a while with Sam and Susan! It'll be fun to have them so close, and guaranteed we'll have weekly game nights! So if you're interested HIT ME UP! More players are always welcome!! :)

Ridin' Dirty in the t24

Taylor and I are the coolest people you know. I am 100% confident of this.

Who else do you know with a Weasel from WWII?

Just us!

We also happen to be the only people you know {or maybe you don't know us..} who have ever driven a Weasel around the Biltmore Loop! I promise! {we have also driven a CAT and a slightly smaller tractor around the Biltmore Loop, the Robinson's are famous for this sort of disruptive behavior in the Biltmore area}

The Weasel has been a part of the Robinson family since Taylor looked something like this

Maybe a little before he looked like that actually...I just wanted everyone to see how cute my children will be {because of course they will look like him}

Taylor and his mechanical skills went to work this morning to finish fixing this bad boy up, its the first time it has run in over a decade!!

Can you say HOTT??

and now for a message from Polo the Bear:

"I love Kelcie"

and he certainly does :)

February, Shmebruary

my hair is that awkward shoulder length stage, it FINALLY goes into a ponytail, but I can't do much else with it, not if I want it grow healthily {believe me, thats a word, says me}. I'm looking forward to the day when it looks somewhat like this

and I never will cut it short again! EVER!

{i'm not asking for a lot, just a few inches past my shoulders!}

{also, I'm not sure why I put a photo of me next to Cameron, she makes me look pretty sloppy, haha}

Last weekend {January 29th to be exact} was Taylor and I's one-year-since-the-proposal-anniversary. Yes, I remembered. Yes, we celebrated by going to dinner at the same place he took me a year ago. Yes, this was my idea. Don't tease, I'm not the only sentimental one, in fact my husband has taken to comparing me to Gloria from Modern Family {if you have not seen Modern Family, you really must}. Gloria is the drop dead gorgeous Hispanic woman {similarity #1} married to the guy twice her age {not so similar, but Taylor is older than me by a quarter of my age, close enough thus similarity #2}, she has a habit of celebrating EVERYTHING {similarity #3} the first kiss, the day they became official, the day they met, you name it...I didn't realize this until he brought it up, but I do the same exact thing. October 10th 2008, day we met. Weekend of July 17th 2009, first kiss. July 25th, Keith Urban Concert. August 15th 2009, official! "slapped a label on it". September 4th 2009, the L word was said. January 29th 2010, ENGAGED. and finally May 14th 2010, MARRIED FOR TIME AND ALL ETERNITY. {okay, so I had to consult the good old journal for a few of those dates, but the point is, I keep track, and I am the alter-Gloria {my fellow fringe watchers know what this means} with out about half of the drama. :) plus she's gorgeous, so I don't mind being compared...

{also, I wouldn't mind having her hair..}

{or breasteses}

I went to the dentist today, and what I'm about to tell you doesn't make sense, because I brush my teeth the recommended number of times, I floss {less than the recommended amount of times per day, but close to it} but I Kelcie, the woman with the most beautiful white sparkling teeth on which I get comments on frequently {or at least, used to, when people gave me compliments....yes I'm fishing ;)} am in dire need of a root canal. yucky, I know, oh and a crown to go with it, double yuck...

It truly is disgusting, and I am disgusted with my tooth, it is totally out of line getting an abscess, doesn't it know how good I am to it? Doesn't it realize the time I put into keeping it healthy? I'm guessing it doesn't, because it went and half way fell out,{I think genetically my teeth are weak, FYI, i don't want you all think I don't brush...} ewww. You don't want to hear this.

I am jumping around big time, nothing I've said thus far flows like one's blog should...I don't even care. I've decided to write pretty much anything that comes to mind.

Taylor is so busy at work, they're about to {hopefully} land an awesome project, we're crossing our fingers and praying, and doing our best! Also have some fun news on our house project, but I'll wait to share until ideas are solidified!

Church has kept us SUPER busy, between all the scouting/young men stuff Taylor has on his plate {in addition to work, and spending time with his lovely wife} and the interpreting/secretary duties Kelcie has on her plate {on top of tons of school, a little bit of work, and lots of wifely responsibilities} we are SWAMPED for the next 2 months or so! A baptism, a Sealing, a campout, a WEDDING!!!!{which I am MOST excited for} I think we'll have a weekend to ourselves probably...never? hah, but its good, blessings upon blessings!

About that wedding...My BEST FRIEND IN THE ENTIRE WORLD Ms. Stephanie Daye Hartman, is soon to be Mrs. Stephanie Daye Hartman Hulse! WOOT WOOT!! I am SO excited, no one has any idea! except maybe everyone who just read that sentence! Taylor and I had Steph and her man Ben over a few weeks ago, and we think Ben is absolutely perfect for my bestie!! The wedding is March 12th, and I'm throwing her a shower on the 19th, which will be the most fun ever! {hopefully!}

Taylor and I are going out to Queen Creek to hang out with my bestest bud from Holbrook and his smokin' hott wife {and I guess other people will be there too, also I am attracted to MAN [only one] I just recognize when a woman has attractive features} this excites me, and it has several {not positive on exactly how many} months since we've seen Braden and Heather, and I LOVE them both {so does Taylor}. So that'll be fun..Also, they are getting Sealed at the end of the month, we couldn't be more happy for them!

and, I'm out of things to share...
