Love.

Day 9-A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most

My Mama.

Need I say more?

Ali-Jandro and Katelyn and Kellie

Day 8-A picture of something that makes you laugh.

Katelyn Murdock and Ali Lloyd

Katelyn, Ali and I have a habit of making up car dances, and then we always take it a little too far. If you see some weird girls driving around with masks on, or scarves around their heads; It is definitely the 3 of us. I am so so happy I have two great friends that I can act like I am 12 years old with. Like seriously who does this? I basically almost died laughing when we did this this summer.

Classy AND Fabulous

Day 7-A picture of your most treasured item.

My Vintage Chanel Earrings.

These are my moms and she has had them ever since I was little. I always always would look at them and thought how gorgeous they were but they were clip-ons (they were from the 80's). My mom never wore them so I asked if I could get them made into real earrings. I love wearing them because I always think of my mama :) Plus it makes me think of how stylish she was!

BUH-Nanas.

Day 6-A picture of a person you'd love to trade places with for a day.

I DIE

Without question, Rachel Zoe.

Words do not express how much I love the way she dresses. Like honestly? I wish I could be her for the REST of my life, not just a day. Ultimate dream job is just being her assistant. If you haven't noticed, when they do the best gowns of the year, Rachel Zoe's clients are ALWAYS in the top 10. I am so hoping I run into her in Los Angeles just to tell her how amazing she is! annnnnd to tell her I am BUH-NANAS about her faux fur line she just came out with.

2 State Rings.

Day 5- A picture of your favorite memory.

Well obviously I had to pick two :)

Without doubt the best memory/feeling in the world. I am so blessed to have had such a great experience in my life. This is something I will tell my kids and grandkids about. There is definitely no better feeling than having them call your name as STATE CHAMPIONS and to be able to sing "We Are The Champions" right after. I will always always cherish these two moments and remember what this felt like. Plus I have two state rings to prove it!

*Hope everyone has a fabulous Christmas Eve and Christmas morning tomorrow :) I hope Santa brings you all the gifts you asked for!

Fogo De Chao

Day 4: A picture of your night.

3 words. Fogo De Chao. I had never even heard of it until my stepmom insisted we go there because it was "that" amazing. I am definitely not into Brazilian Steakhouses because I'm not a meat eater. So basically we never go. Wellllll tonight my family (dad, step-mom, little bro, little sis) and my step-mom's parents went to downtown San Antonio for dinner at Fogo De Chao. So first you start with a salad bar (which was all I got because like I said not a meat eater). This salad bar is the most incredible thing I have ever seen. It is more italian meats and cheeses than salad. They have fresh mozzarella the size of a tennis ball! Oh my so so good. When everyone's meat came out I enjoyed my salad and the sides. Caramelized Bananas, Deep Fried Polenta, Home-Made Rolls, and Garlic Mashed Potatoes. Basically I am home now and I feel like I am going to throw up from eating too much prosciutto and mozzarella. After we drove through downtown to see all the lights on the river walk! Can't wait for Christmas Eve tomorrow!!!

*Above is a picture of my little brother getting his favorite, Filet Mignon.

I'm a diehard gleek

Day 3: A picture of the cast from you favorite TV show.

GLEE. This is seriously the greatest TV show. My favorite Jacob Cardinal got me hooked on it and I have been watching since the beginning :) Ask anyone, I have never been or never will be a singer but I can tell you that Lea Michelle has the best voice in the world. My mom, who never watches an ounce of TV besides intervention and murder mystery shows, LOVES Glee too. The funniest part of this show is watching Sue Sylvester, I am 100% positive she is a character made after my amazing coach Jan Whittaker. Oh yeah Finn and Puck aren't too bad to look at either ;)

All I can say is..... FINNCHEL FOREVER

Day 2

Day 2: A picture of you and the person you have been close with the longest.

Oh my goodnesss Mia Brianna Bell Frimann-Dahl. My 13 year old cousin and I are basically sisters. Her own mom (my aunt/dad's sister) is my godmother and my 2nd mom so obviously we are close. Right when our auntie Cari died all I wanted to do was sit with Mia and cry with her, all I wanted was my Mia. We have traveled the world together and even when she lived in London we were as close as we are now. I have loved watching her grow up and it was so hard to think my sweet baby cousin turned 13 this year. I know she looks up to me as I do to her. After all, everyone knows we are the "perfect" children in our family! It's true ask anyone ;)

31 Day Challenge

I stole this from someone making an album of it on facebook! So I thought I would put it on my blog :) Maybe I can actually stick to it and follow through... here we go.

Day 1: A picture of you with 15 facts.

1. I have the 4 most amazing brothers/sisters that I could ever ask for. 2. I truly am in LOVE with Justin Bieber. 3. I miss Utah more than I thought. 4. I would die without my iPhone. 5. I hate waking up and doing my hair. 6. My natural hair color is dark brown. 7. Shopping never gets old. 8. I wish my dad would move back to Phoenix. 9. I so wish I could be on drill for the rest of my life. 10. I dream in color. 11. Give me a Diet Dr. Pepper and I will be instantly happy. 12. Biggest Utah Jazz fan. 13. I absolutely love working (when I like my job) 14. I really do want every Chanel bag ever made. 15. My mom is truthfully my best friend in the entire world :)

Where are my apples!?

Isn't my baby sister DARLING?

She is basically a Kellie Anne-In-Training.

Every year she gets more and more fun. Today she was looking at a magazine and told me she didn't like the girl in it because "she wasn't setsy" My heart seriously melts every time she want's to hold my hand or gives me a big giant hug! I love having a mini-me walking around. Oh and yesterday she spilled the beans on a bunch of my Christmas presents. She definitely comes in handy :)

The girl who keeps us going...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY LISA ADACHI!!!

Think no one cares about you...? Feeling down and no one cares...?
Well you are WRONG

LISA ADACHI CARES! But seriously. Without fail this girl will comment on a blog or facebook status when something is up. Good or Bad. We all love having a little Lisa in our lives... :) happy birthday cute girl!


Also I very very happy birthday to my gorgeous best friend Ali Lloyd (yesterday) I am so happy I have her in my life and to be able to call her one of my best friends! Love you!

1 Year Ago...

Isn't it weird how time goes by so fast?

1 year ago today was the worst day of my life. Drill was the only thing keeping me through high school. I dreaded going every day but knew how it was worth it only because of drill. It was my senior year and I was vice president.

We were doing kick on pointe which was a huge rumor in the drill world, I couldn't wait to show off this incredible routine because I was so proud of it and myself for the hard work. 3 Days before our first invitational of the year I had noticed how much my foot hurt. As soon as I put on my pointe shoe and warmed up my feet, my right foot was bulging out of my pointe shoe. I remember we did pointe a uncountable amount of times that day, Jan always kept it to a minimum for our safety. My foot was so so bad and I could barely walk, but at the same time was trying to do kicks on full pointe. I went upstairs and decided to run my solo once, knowing it was going to hurt anyways. I got half way through when I heard my foot crack and I just fell. I knew my foot was broken and I knew I was done. I couldn't admit it to myself.

I drove myself home bawling the whole entire way, I couldn't understand why this had happened to me. As soon as I got home I entered complete denial, I thought my foot was fine (blue and the size of a football) I convinced myself there was no need for a doctor but my mom was home and told me it needed to be checked out without a question. I got x-rays and with a matter of 5 minutes the doctor came in. Dr. Richard's has helped me be able to dance through all of my knee problems, he helped me get ready for my senior year of dancing after my surgery. Dr. Richard's came into the room and almost started to cry. All he said was "It's Broken" I rolled over on the bed and just closed my eyes wishing I could wake up. There is no way this could happen to me, why why why? How, I was fine a week ago, the day before I was doing things with no pain why? That is the only thing I could think of.

The next morning we reset everything at drill. The worst part was waking up in the morning thinking everything was a nightmare. nope. I was at for the whole season. The year I had been waiting for, the most amazing routines, costumes, and choreography was taken from me. I cried for months every single day, even after state. It still hurts me today thinking about it and brings tears to my eyes. I know I will always think what if and why which is why I wanted to write a blog about this. I want to revisit the past so I know that things like this will happen only to make me a stronger and better person. I wish that it could have never happened and that I could have just been healthy but it's life. No one gets everything they want.

$$$L-O-V-E$$$

Hey.....

Anyone wanna buy me the new Cartier Love bracelet?

It only starts at a low $33,000

Let me know, mmmmkthanks.

GO RED... AND BLUE

While reading all your posts about The Holy War. I am proud to say I am a fan of neither.

No I am not a Utah State Fan.

I am an Arizona Wildcat Fan :)

I was born in Tucson Arizona, home of the wildcats. My dad and his family is about as diehard as you can get. I am talking Brian Johnson/Max Hall Status. My little brother wakes about at 5 AM to watch sports center in the morning before he goes to school, now thats some serious dedication. For one of our rivalry games, I dressed in ASU colors, my dad would not talked to me the whole way there and walked 10 feet ahead of me at the tailgate. 5 Minutes before the game started I told me dad...

"Welllllllll..... you could buy me all new U of A clothes."

113.00 later in the UofA fan store...

So while all of you had your "Holy War" this saturday, I can't wait for Thursday night at 6:00PM for...

DUEL IN THE DESERT

Favorite part of the Rivalry is exchanging words in the fight song from "Hit em hard let em know whose who" to "KICK THE SHIT OUT OF ASU!"

Bear Down Arizona.

As in like, an oreo blizzard?

Wow...

SO GOOD TO BE HOME!!!

If you read my blog and your NOT from Utah, apparently there was supposed to be a huge blizzard the other now, continuing till the morning. So we were all supposed to stay in our houses and have emergency kits prepared.

ummmm guess what? It was just snowing. Nice try though.

Obviously Tuesday night you can guess what I did....

Had a sleepover with Ali Lloyd. Oh gosh I still can't believe how immature we are. Honestly though, I think people must think we are 2. Don't ask me why, but we decided to make a puppet-show. I swear it was funny, it still is.

LOVE YOU TWIN!

There's A First Time For Everything.

I got in my first "official" car accident today. Remember

my super cute 2010 BMW 128i I got for graduation...? Her name is tiger lily, and she is hurt :( I got rear-ended on fairfax and 3rd, by an Indian family who barely spoke English. When I got out of the car and the husband came out to talk to me all he said was "oh have you been driving around too much today"

ummmmm seriously!?

It is freaking my fault that you weren't paying attention and kept on the gas when my break lights were on. Alright then. His car resulted in both the air bags coming out and the whole front of his car completely smashed. The back of Tiger Lily is pretty scratched and dented but it could be worse. The car I ended up hitting in front of me because of a bumper car affect was completely fine, so was the front of my car.

I ended up going to Cedars-Sinai (Big Hospital in Los Angeles) because I have to be careful with head injuries because of my Epilepsy. This is the hospital by the way that all the celebrities check themselves into before they go to rehab. As soon as I got there I was sitting by a 50 year old lady who left her sunglasses on the whole entire time (my guess is she was famous). Explaining to me that it was going to be a 4 hour wait and she

couldn't believe it because they knew who she was and they knew her name. She resulted to the security guard complaining to the staff telling them "who" she was. Didn't catch her name but she said she liked my Michael Kors watch thinking it was a Rolex.

As soon as I finally got in the doctor came to see me. He was Asian and I couldn't pronounce his first or last name. He shook my hand and introduced himself as Dr. Ho. It took every bone in my body not to laugh. I told him what happened and he was concerned about my headache because I hadn't hit my head. Half an Hour later he came and asked if I still had a headache I said yes. Another half and hour later he asked if I still had a headache. Another half an hour later asked if I still had a headache. Each and every time my reply was yes.

..... ANOTHER HALF AN HOUR LATER ASKED IF I STILL HAD A HEADACHE!!!

Really? This time Dr. Ho replied in saying "Lets do a CT Scan to check for brain bleeding"

Wow, great. I have been sitting her a full 3 hours to learn that I might have bleeding in my brain. Oh and my car is ruined.

I finally get my CT Scan (I got through that quick because I have had a handful or two in my lifetime meaning they didn't have to go through all the procedures) once again I wait another half hour for Dr. Ho. In the end, I left at about 9:13.

4 Hours at Cedars-Sinai.

My day had completed by coming home and making an amazing bowl of Ramen to cheer me up. Oh and Danielle's grandma's peanut butter fudge she sent us! :) I think it is time to call it a day.... can't wait to wake up with an excruciating pain in my neck and back! All thanks to the little Indian Family who wasn't paying attention.

P.S. In this picture it looks completely fine. It's not, trust me. Tiger Lily definitely has some injuries right now.

Interesting day in L.A.-Kellie Anne

be excited.

Hey Guess What....

I AM COMING HOME FOR THANKSGIVING!!!

I will be home in 10 days!!!

Get ready for me Utah... :)

Love from Los Angeles-Kell

Can't wait to see those BEAUTIFUL mountains again... and then some :)

I Like Sparkly Things.

My past two blogs were super depressing. will not lie. But things have been looking up. Not really but I have been more positive. Tomorrow is my

*FIRST DAY AT SWAROVSKI*

I am really excited to start my new job. I had always wanted to work with clothing but then I thought to myself.... I am the girl is crystaled* all her dance costumes, dresses, basketball jersey's, and even my brace when I broke my foot :) Obviously I am excited. It will be a major change from Abercrombie to Swarovski, yes still retail but big changes?

1. No more plaids and denim, black suits.

2. Yes, I did offer customer service at Abercrombie but yes bigger part of Swarovski

3. Best thing is I am paid more and I make bonus's depending on my sales.

Negatives-

1. I have to wear a suit, ummm can I rhinestone it?

2. Working for the Holidays. Yes I will be home for Christmas but not Thanksgiving.

-Damn you Black Friday.

3.........?

I really think it will be a great experience especially working in higher-end retail, it will look great on my resume.

Oh did I mention I get to look at sparkly jewelry and get a 35% discount? Gotta Love It.

Wish Me Luck!

Lots of Love From Los Angeles-Kellie Anne

P.S. My mama comes in 2 weeks. I could die I am so excited!

Super Confused.

Many of you who had read my blog about thanks and missing people gave me some really great responses. I so appreciate all of those who care and consider me still a friend. The past couple of weeks I have really been struggling here. I feel like my life in Utah is just continuing on without me just fine. Almost like it made no difference? I called my old manager yesterday (question about my discount policy) and my heart almost broke talking to her. I really miss work and all my great friends there. Same thing with Drill and my High School friends. I miss it but does it/they miss me? It is so hard reading blogs, facebook post, etc. hearing about all the good things in Utah and listening to what my friends have been doing. It seems as I was kinda forgotten in the middle of things. Yet at the same time I am not completely connected to my life here. I love school, and I definitely have some great friends here but I am not attached like I thought I would be. This morning was the worst because I woke up from dreaming I came home to visit and it was the best feeling in the world. Ya I guess I am homesick but where do I fit? I am starting to have doubts whether or not I am in the right place right now and doing the right thing, I am just not connected anywhere. I am hoping things will get better and that maybe I just need to let go of my Utah life but I am beginning to think that's impossible. How can I just forget my friends and family that I loved and not be concerned or interested in their lives. Do I totally sound like I am on crack? I guess it is just something I will have to think about, so confused.

Pumpkin Pinkberry? I DIE

So pretty much Pinkberry is totally a California thing, I had been there a couple times from coming here but I was always way into my yogurt stop and orange leaf being from Utah. Spoon Me is actually a rip-off of Pinkberry, yeah doesn't even come close. Ever since getting here I honestly CRAVE Pinkberry, I want it all the time. It is SUPER healthy and they have the best toppings ever! For the month of October/November they have Pumpkin Pinkberry. I know sounds sketch? I am in love. The best frozen yogurt flavor ever made. It is basically like original but with a hint of cinnamon, my personal recommendation is Pumpkin flavored with half graham crackers, half low fat granola. Its incredible.

Miss You, Thanks!

In honor of the FIRST day of November, I have to put up some major thanks right? Truth is I love it here but school is getting hard and I don't feel like I am the best I can be right now. Being around people here makes me realize how much I miss my friends from home... so this post is dedicated to you! You should feel kinda cool if your mentioned, just sayin.... (In no paticular order)

Jacob Freaking Cardinal. Jacob knows I basically love him to death, he really is one of the best friend's I have EVER had. Don't even ask me what is going to happen when he goes on his mission, I don't want to talk about it. Ladies watch out, he is the definition of the PERFECT Husband. Kind, Funny, Loyal, not to mention he is a russian model, no big I guess. I absolutely know I could ask jacob ANYTHING and he would be there at any freaking moment. Oh by the way, we were the 3 year power couple for the dance concert, you should be super jealous. Thanks Jacob for being my shrink and listening to me complain about everything and giving me advice at no cost, and for being so understanding. Love you husband!

Brandon and Tiff, and their spouses! I honestly take you two for granted, I never really truthfully realized what a huge part you two played in my life even though you were just my step siblings, we have known each other since I was 5! You really are my brother and Sister. Brandon, I am so so happy you have found the love of your life Audrey, whom I absolutely adore! My heart truthfully melted when you texted me asking me how California was! I think it was the 5th text I have ever gotten from you in my life and definitely the best :) Tiff, you know I think you are the best older sister in the world and I wouldn't trade our relationship for anything! You and Brad have treated me like your own daughter basically for the past couple of years and I hope that never changes. I will never EVER forget us dressing up and doing leg dances in our living room before I moved out! I love you lots and I can't wait for your trips to L.A. counting down the days til you come in December in fact! I know both our parents are getting divorced but I hope our relationship never changes because I don't want to divorce either of you two :) plus I can't wait to be an aunt! Thanks for the countless rides to get dinner or taking me to dance, I really do appreciate it, a lot!

"Jesus"(-Carlos Ice Cream) I really miss the Crombie. Thought I would be so so happy to leave but I'm not I actually miss it more and more everyday. Not only do I miss these three above but really almost everyone that worked there (almost). As much as I hated those hour long playlists and the most ridiculous look policies, I kinda want them back in my life, especially Riley's singing and dancing to every single one. I dread starting my new job because I know it will never be nearly as good as this, really. BELLIE CROWE FOREVER! Thanks for being the best 1st job in the world and for all of the greatest friends (fellow associates/managers) I could have to work with!

I don't just miss this team and group of girls, but I miss drill and my previous teams in general. Especially Jan and Ricci. I have said this 5 million times but as much as it sucks waking up at 6 am your whole life (including saturdays and summer) it is all completely and totally worth it. I wish so badly I could be getting ready for competition season right now, especially with their incredible routines this year ;) I have realized why I am having such a hard time with school right now is because I am not the best, there is so much competition around me when with drill it was just obvious, we really were the best and everyone knew it. But all good things must come to an end. Thanks to ALL things Drill for teaching me the most incredible life lessons and giving me the best sisters and coaches (moms) that I could ask for! Miss you lots lots lots!

My sweet baby Annabelle! Yes I am one of those stupid people that considers their dog their child. Except Annabelle is like my mom, she truthfully takes care of me. When I am sick and throwing up in my bathroom she comes and lays by me and licks my feet. When I am sobbing uncontrollably so kisses my face. Her night routine is sleeping on my bed until I am completely asleep (no matter what time) and then she goes upstairs and lays by the door protecting the house. She is the definition of the best dog ever, really though. I wish I could be there to cuddle with her as I hear she still sleeps on my bed at night. Thanks Annabelle for always taking care of me and being the greatest dog, I would pick you any day over a yorkie just to carry in my purse. (even though they are pretty cute.)

Oh near... my Tila Tequila AKA Makell Ellis. Wish you would have moved down her with me sweetheart :) You so know it would have been the best ever! I honestly laugh the most and hardest when I am with her, it's honestly ridiculous the inside jokes we have. Makell is a great person to have around because we have gone through the same things in life, we truthfully are on the exact same page as each other so obviously just click. Thanks Makell for not only giving me the BEST last night in Bountiful but for staying friends for all these years! P.S. If you didn't know already I live in Makell's old house and she is my next door neighbor.

First and for most my mama! I miss her so much, it hurts (yes I am quoting a stupid line from twilight) My mom and I have always been so close and if you haven't heard yet her and my stepdad are getting divorced. I know she is going through hell right now and I wish I could be there for her more than anything! She always supported me with moving down here and going to the school of my dreams but who is supporting her right now? Give her a big hug and kiss from me if you EVER see her around. Truthfully, Thanks for everything.

My Sipe and my Sipe Sipe! Oh god, I feel like I can never be as immature and stupid with my friends here like I can with you two! I miss you guys so much and think about the two of you on a regular day basis. Sorry I complained so much about getting out of Utah when I was with you two, I am really regretting it now. You girls are the best friend's I could ask for and I know you two will always be there for me! Love you both, thanks for putting up with me and keeping me occupied, thanks to both your parent's for always accepting me considering the circumstances.

P.S. I miss lots more people, you definitely know who you are! Love you UTAH! ;)

Hire Me Please.

Ok I admit... I am being a terrible blogger. But with reason, I have been so overwhelmed by Los Angeles. Honestly I love it. Ya I am homesick but I'm not dying, definitely happy to be here. I sincerely apologize but give me some credit between moving, school, homework, and last and apparently least JOB SEARCHING, I haven't had a lot of time. Most of you know I have a back round in retail and an internship on my resume, sounds promising right? Apparently not. Two of my roommates who have NO experience got a job within the first week, yeah I'm jealous. I had a group interview with Juicy Couture (Dream Job, Rodeo Drive), thought it went well but no call back. Started to get real frustrated, I don't really wantto be going to the Flagship Abercrombie because I know I can do better for myself. Things are looking up though, I have an interview with Bebe on thursday and Friday and interview with Swarovski AND BCBGeneration. I would basically die for either of them. Normally I would never say this but Wish Me Luck, apparently I need it...?

How could you NOT hire me? :)

Definitely not in B-Town anymore

Wow, I am totally and completely in love with L.A.

There is absolutely no way to describe it. I completely feel in my element here, kinda like it was made for me ya know? If you haven't heard, L.A. beat itsrecord for heat, 113 degrees yesterday. It was insane, I am still in love none the less. This morning my mom and I went shopping for apartment decor and what do you know SEAL as in HEIDI KLUM'S HUSBAND just walks right past us. Then we start shopping around andddddd oh look! It's Mario Lopez filmingEXTRA at The Grove! He was still just as gorgeous in person :) Not to mention in Newport Beach we saw Patrick Warburton (Puddi, Elaine's boyfriend from Seinfeld). Tonight my mama and I went to Villa Blanco (restaurant the hill's girls are always at.) for dinner, right by Rodeo Drive. ahhhhhh so amazing. I still can't believe that I am going to be living here, I feel like I am on a complete vacation! Bountiful will always be Home, but I just can't compare it to Los Angeles. I can't wait to get a job, start school and get settled! On Thursday I am FINALLY going to be moving into my apartment and I can't wait to meet my cute roommates! I will soon be posting pictures of my amazing new apartment! (Still can't believe it.)

P.S. I am a fast typer and if you haven't noticed there are typo's. Bear with me.

Us with Patrick Warburton

ya know, just Mario Lopez.

Me at my new fave restuarant in L.A. Villa Blanca (sorry Mr. Chow!)

What Can I Say?

Here We Go Again....

Alright so I have tried out this whole blog thing and it did not work. But, I love reading blogs, everyone has all these creative ideas and I love watching what people are up to! (stalkerish, I know but still) If you haven't heard already, I am just about to move out to Los Angeles to go to my dream school FIDM. Basically I can't wait. Everyone told me that I shouldget a blog so everyone can see what I am up to and I thought maybeI would post some of my school work as well as showing everyone how life is in L.A. compared to Bountiful Utah.

As of now I am in Newport Beach with my Madre, Aunt Erika and my cousin Jennifer. We are staying for the weekend before I head out to LA. How did I get here you ask? Don't worry WE DROVE. Longest drive of my life, and the scenery isn't too great either. My mom and I made a stop in Vegas of course (we had to do some shopping and get some sleep I guess) and then continued out to Newport. As much fun as I am having out here I am so so ready to be in Los Angeles. Guess I will have to wait 2 more days..... don't think I can do it, I am an impatient person sometimes.

View from my beamer to vegas (exciting I know)

Just Excited to FINALLY be in California!

My Mom, Jenn, Me and Erika at Yard House in Newport
