Midterms

:(

So typically I have ZERO motivation for school, I thought that had changed when I started this program
{which I do love}

I was terribly wrong, I'm afraid

Last semester I was perfectly fine, and NEVER lost interest or motivation

but this week I honestly want..no, NEED a break

a few-weeks-break

I think the problem is that last semester I scored and was able to get all 8-week classes, so I still got 16 credits but they were dispersed {only 8 credits at a time}, and then this summer my classes were, well summer classes {8 weeks again}

I was spoiled, and now I have to face reality, I can't always have 8 week classes

maybe I have an Attention-Deficit and can only focus for 8 weeks at a time, that would be a good excuse to NOT do real school...woe is me. I need a cure. I have GOT to get through this semester, and I have GOT to get straight A's or I may not get into the IPP...someone reset my brain to 8 weeks so I can have the illusion that I'm starting fresh this week and maybe I'll be able to motivate myself at least till the end of the semester!!

Conference Weekend with the Robinson's

Wyoming was QUITE the vacation!

Perfect amount of laziness and adventure! and this time...I took photos to document it! It's always more fun to look at a blog with pictures {true?}

We arrived in Jackson {Hole} Wyoming on Thursday afternoon after a cozy 2 hour flight...the intention of our little vacation was to RELAX {something new, and different!} and enjoy conference in Sam and Susan's BEAUTIFUL home up in the  Wonderful Wyoming Wilderness {<alliteration} {sorry no photo of their crib}. It was definitely a much needed get away from the traffic, school, work, and of course...you guessed it! The blistering Phoenix heat!

I just have to say that Jackson, Wyoming is officially my favorite little town!! {it beat out St. George, but barely..} The most BEAUTIFUL place and someday {mark my words} I will live there. Watch me.

The view from the back porch

The majority of our weekend was spent hanging out enjoying the view, and occasionally taking a drive through the forest, or heading into town to check out the shops and eat.

It was so nice outside! we hung out on the back porch much of the time.

My hunk of a Husband. I LOVE YOU!!

I LOVE this face of Taylor's, its just CUTE... {cough} I mean studly!! like a MAN

Kid in a candy store? TOO MANY CHOICES, and we all know how bad I am with decisions
{especially the non-life threatening sort}
  

Let me tell you, has Susan {Momma-in-Law} got some MARVELOUS taste in textiles...I only snapped a few photos, but the Jackson House was full of amazing intricate QUILTS!!

TIE ENDS!! 

Makes me want to break out the old SINGER and get to it!!

While up in the north country we decided to take a road trip over to Rexburg IDAHO and visit

BEAR WORLD!!!

On our way out of the neighborhood we hit a 25 minute road block... A Cattle drive, on the only road out...I love me some country!!

Finally made it out...Only in Idaho do you see a truck-full of tatters rollin' down the highway..

BEAR WORLD!!

Bambi.

These birds were EVERYWHERE!! Anyone who knows what they are,
I would love to know! I think they're BEAUTIFUL!

He came right up to the truck!! I LOVE BEARS!!

Wyoming was great, we had a BLAST and look forward to our next trip up there! Hopefully when its SNOWY and FREEZING!! Thanks Momma and Poppa Robinson for the AMAZING Conference weekend, and Thank you Taylor BEAR for spending it with me!!

{love, Kelcie}

Spoiled? Possibly...

No pictures yet, and I'm mid-Jackson Wyoming at this point, but Taylor and Pappa Sam are off at Priesthood, and I thought I'd take a sec and tell everyone that I LOVE MY LIFE!! I am having the GREATEST weekend!! I'm super excited to post PHOTOS, yes PHOTOS when I get home and tell you all about EVERYTHING!!

{preview: flew up in the shared family plane, staying in Sam and Susan's "main residence", shopping, kid in a candy store?, delicious food, everywhere you look BEAUTIFUL VIEWS, FALL LEAVES, 80 degrees...and more!} 

I LOVE Jackson!! It is beautiful up here!! THEY HAVE A FALL!! crazy..I know. and Yesterday, I saw an Elk Buck and his women, a freaking bear,and a few fox just running around the neighborhood...I love all the county-ness and cowboy boots and majestic horses, the cute little shops downtown and the VIEW! I didn't mention the VIEW! my goodness, I love this place! I DO NOT want to go back to Phoenix!!

If only I could stay here forever!!

I am SO LUCKY to be a part of the Robinson family, someday I hope I give my brothers the Jackson Hole Wyoming experience, I know they'd LOVE it here too! someday...when I live here ;)

{photos coming! I know you're excited for them!}

Off to Wyoming and Under Construction!

just a warning!

my blog may look rather funky {not a good funky} in the next little while..

i'm sort of experimenting with my blogs design, and quite frankly 

I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT I'M DOING

but not immediately as me and taylor are headed up to Jackson Hole Wyoming for the conference weekend! {time to get away from this HEAT for a few days!!}
