lately.

welp, it's sure been a while. How about I post a little somethin somethin on this here bloggy. Ok, what have I been up to lately...

• EFY. Oh my lands how incredible was that!? Answer: SO incredible! It was so hard at first, and really I had a rough time getting used to it, but by the end I could honestly say I love EFY. It was an awesome life learning experience I will cherish for the rest of my life. I loved the things that I learned there as well as the fun I had. The last week I did I almost peed my pants like three times I was laughing so hard. Thank you Sheridan Rockhill. :)
• I miss tennis! I have been at EFY for so long I haven't gotten to play tennis in a while! I think my skills are atrophying since I haven't been using them.
  
• Heather's bridal shower is coming up and I'm going to get to make some cool culinary creations. I love any chance I have to experiment making really pretty stuff. I'm gonna try out some sugar art and tuilles this time, so we'll see what happens.
• My eye has been twitching lately...it's really wierd. It's prolly from lack of sleep. Ok maybe I have been staying up a little too late with certain distracting individuals...I'll work on that, but I can't promise any changes. I'm just gonna have to deal with twitching.
  
• I'm flying out to Colorado to go visit steve and syl next week! That's going to be a great time. I miss Sabrinna and Tanner, that's for sure.
  
• I really love Canada. Sometimes I don't really know why, I just do. I want to go to Canada someday. That would be fab if I got my mission call there. I had a dream a while ago that I got my call to Canada, but then again I had a dream that I got my call to Sydney, Austrailia too. And Tokyo. and California. I have a lot of mission call dreams.
  
• I love American Fork, Utah. I know I am probably a little too in love with it. So I apologize to all of you who have have gotten "the tour" from me lately. I just stinkin love that place and want to share the joy that it is with everybody. That's all.
  
• I have recently decided where my heart lies, and what things are my true loves. A. Brad Paisley B. American Fork C. Canteloupe. D. My cowboy boots E. Canada. There you have it folks. Kellie Wentz in a nutshell.

Thanks for being part of this update today. I hope you have enjoyed your readings. Have a fantastic Tuesday.

Fourth of July has Arrived

Well my friends, my favorite holiday is coming up in two days, and I'm pumped. I love the warm weather, the BBQ's, Lagoon with my family, the food, the patriotism, the colors, and last but not least the Fireworks.
One of my favorite things ever is fireworks. I think part of it could be because I grew up with all boys who started buying fireworks at like age 9. I think I lit my first firework when I was probably 6. I got excited too for when my friends turned twelve and their parents would let them light them with me. I think part of it may just be genetic. I am drawn to fire, I just love it. I have had at least half my life to experiment with tampering with fireworks and making them do different things. I'm a big fan of the smaller ones that you can mess with, vs. the big fountains that you just light and watch.
Last year we went to wyoming and picked up some fireworks and it was the most fun I had had in a long time. I still have some of them, but my supply is getting low. I have a whole stash in a blue tote thingy under my bed. I also have a lighter collection to accompany them. I know this is wierd, but I blame it on how I grew up. Some families just didn't get into this sort of thing much, but I'm lucky mine did, and still does.
Since I live in provo now, however, people are much more uptight than in my hometown. In my neighborhood we will light five whistlers at once to summon all the neighbor kids that want to watch, and we all just had a great time.
Everyone here gets all antsy pants on you about how loud they are, or that we're going to catch something on fire. Seriously, it's fine. Everyone chill out and enjoy the show. They are a fun part of the summer, and we're not stupid with them-we are as safe as possible. I have never gotten injured yet besides a thumb burn from a lighter or something. I wish people appreciated them like I do.
Well ok, that's my soapbox. When you hear bangs and sparks going on in your neighborhood just smile, and know that someone is having a lot of fun right now. :) Thank you.

I love this Man.

This is Brad. Brad Paisley. He is fantastic. A few years ago Nicole Redford gave my brother a Brad Paisley CD, and at the time I had just barely been converted to country (thank you Brother Kunz), and so I was curious, and listened to his CD. It was "Mud on the Tires", and I fell in love with this man's music. He's more of a comedian a lot of times, and I love that his lyrics actually say something about him, or tell stories, or make you laugh. Last year Steve and I went to his concert when he came to Salt Lake. It was incredible, and I am a fan for life. When his new album "American Saturday Night" came out a month and a half ago, I found a killer deal on it, and purchased it as my own. I love it, I have listened to every song and almost have it memorized. It's battling with my cowboy boots as my most prized posesion. Anyway, just wanted to share my love for Brad Paisley, and this new album. I love country music. :)
