Im Alive....

WOW! Can you believe how time is FLYING! FIRST off: I'M GOING TO AN AUNT......!!!! The Little bro and his wife are expecting!! Very Exciting
  Turkey day is TOMORROW, and XMAS is right around the corner. Well There has been SO much going on in the Shelley house hold, Dunc Graduates in a week from college with his MASTERS...yep people I will have a MASTER. I have finally started at the new salon Called BELLA BOUTIQUE SALON AND SPA....Love it there. Duncan's car died, and we got a new one.....CRAZY STORY....still having a hard time trying to have future little Dunc's & Duncinista's.....Lots of praying and temple attending that is forsure....
 But with that being said, how blessed we are. I have been SO thankful lately. I have an amazing Husband that is super supportive. He works his BUTT off just to better my life. Its crazy to think of all the many blessings we have. With being able to purchase our first home, we have come into a bind with our vehicles we have help. But more importantly how amazingly loved I have felt from my heavenly Father. He really is my biggest fan.  When I was in the temple a few weeks ago I was kinda having a hard time with the whole not having a family yet, with listening to General Conference and hearing the talk about Children... I have realized that they are such a blessing in lives. How badly I felt for not yet being able have one yet......I was sitting in the temple with Duncan and had this amazing impression come upon me that was "Kallee, just ask...."
   Im sitting thinking really? Does Heavenly father love me that much that I just need to ask? I have been studying about prayer and trying to figure out what is the proper way of prayer. My mom and dad can tell you that when it comes to praying for me, I do the whole stereotypical mormon prayer. Yep that is right people...Im not perfect, and I have realized I dont know how to give a sincere prayer.
    After a hard day of yet another let down for that month (if ya know what I mean) I receive a dear sweet text message from a friend that gave me a blog to look up. She was truly intune with the spirit. It was a blog just about a couple and prayer and family....I was reading through it and she had the same impression that i Had WEIRD!!! And such a blessing.....Now I am not saying that I just have to ask and BOOM heavenly father is going to bless Dunc and I with a little one, but I feel it goes so much deeper than that. I think heavenly father has missed me so much that he was begging FOR ANYTHING for me just to communicate with him. How I love him, and his blessings. I don't know what the future holds as far as this whole thing with trying to start a family. But I know when I get on my knees, the big up stairs is there, cheering me on, giving me strength for the hard times that are to come. What a blessing he is in my life......
HAPPY TURKEY DAY....What are you thankful for???

GIRLS CAMP!!!!

I went, I came back...Got NO SLEEP but guess What People...Girls camp is OVER!!!
WA-WHO....and yes I sure did miss the very Sexy Hubs of mine.

We went to Heber Valley Girls Camp and it B.E.A. UITFUL....
It only rained a couple of Days up there but it was a wonderful experience.
I find myself more and more everyday acting just like the girls...and I have to step back sometimes and realize that I am a leader and still can have fun. ha ha It's so hard.

I never thought I would love a ward so much...When we moved into our ward it was so welcoming. I loved my home ward when I got married and didn't know how anything can compare. This ward that I am in now is AMAZING....I love it, and the YW.
My Beehives are the most beautiful and willing to learn daughters of our heavenly father...
They are amazing.
Well enjoy "some" of the pictures....

Happy Bloggin!
PS....I am looking for an AWESOME OUTSIDE HALLOWEEN decorating Idea...thoughts would be greatly appreciated!!

My Desire....

My Father was a CARROT Top Red head. I am very interested to see if my future children (that will someday be coming hopefully ha ha) if they will have red hair. Whenever I have had my hair colored I LOVE putting red in it.
With the recent happenings with my hair (which let's get real it changes EVERY month...hello? I am a stylist.)

Duncan doesn't love the whole our children having red hair....Because of stereotypes!
Do you feel that Red hair is more accepted in today society? I say to you YES~.....

So the reasonings for all the funky pictures of beautiful red hair is this......................

Should I? or Shouldn't I?

This would be a HUGE change for me. But I figured since my father was a red head that hey I naturally would have the red head blood in me right????
Maybe I should just do it....or maybe I shouldn't.....
oh decision's.....it sucks having to live like this .....HA HA!!!
Happy bloggin'

New Adventures...

I don't Know about you but I have been loving the new found time I have to be able to look at blogs.....There are some AMAZING women out there....I found this wonderful lamp that I am going to make...I just need to go to a garage sale and find some cheap stuff....maybe I just need to go to my parental units home and find some....ha ha !!! Enjoy this!

"It did take 5 rolls to make this.... Still $16.00 bucks give or take.... for this lamp is fine by me. Its one of a kind and made with CHIC LOVE..... LOVE IT!

HOW TO: she cut the wire off one side, one end to the other. Then on the other side of the ribbon with the wire, she snipped it until the wire was exposed and pulled the ribbon creating a ruffled look.

WALMART yep... YOU HEARD ME WALMART RIBBON!

Krylon Catalina Mist came to the rescue on the base. She did a clear shiny coat over the paint too.

Then layer by layer I hot glued the ruffle ribbon on .... and OUCH..... got one bad burn. OH' WELL as my mother always says.... "BEAUTY IS PAIN" HA!

To look like this. Also she did not seal the fray with a lighter or candle, because she like the sort of torn rustic look. You can seal the edges if you prefer.

Isn't that so CUTE!!!! I love it!
Happy Bloggin

Lastest Happenings....

So the Duncster and I went to Canada this past weekend to visit Grandma Shelley......It was a lot of Fun! Here are some pictures from our vacation.
The Picture above is a place called "Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump"
You may ask what in the world is that place....well it's just that....The Black foot Indians used to "chase" the buffalo's off the cliff where they would fall to their death for food. Very interesting....but who can say "I have been to Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump." NOT EVERYONE.....

Just hanging out....with Grandma Shelley and Grandpa Shelley's Grave site.

Up in Waterton....Yes some of the parts is still frozen over CRAZY!!!!

WELCOME TO ALBERTA CANADA!!!!
