Let's Review

I'm 23 today. Let's review what I've learned so far:

  • You cannot wear your blue-tooth in the shower.
  • You cannot will away cellulite.
  • Television used to be black and white--the world has always been in color.
  • You cannot burn 75,000 calories in one day.
  • Just because something is low fat doesn't mean you should eat twice as much of it.
  • People are not always (or usually) what they seem like on the outside.
  • Sushi is awesomely good.
  • Sushi is not healthy (not the kind I eat).
  • (Can you tell I'm hungry while I'm writing this?)
  • Television does not count as a hobby.
  • The Vietnamese ladies at the nail salon are probably talking about you while they do your nails.
  • Permanent marker is not permanent. Luckily.
  • Procrastination only makes things worse.
  • When you have kids you have to sweep the floor ten times a day.
  • Eight hours of sleep a night is not enough. Neither is four.
  • Belly button piercings may be cool but the scar is not cool.
  • There are only 24 hours in a day. Unfortunately you cannot change that.
  • You can't pray that your baby will go back to sleep every morning when he wakes up. Well you can but it won't work. At least not every day. :)
  • Guys don't multitask and you can't expect them to.
  • A smile goes a long way.
  • Negativity doesn't get anything done.
  • When you reach your goal you are not allowed to still be upset with yourself. You made it and you should be happy with yourself. You can improve more, that's fine but then when you meet that next goal, be happy and enjoy it.
  • Life goes by faster and faster as you get older. When people say time flies they are not kidding. One of these days we will blink and we'll be 72 years old.

Little Reminders

Every day when I look at Tyler I see parts of Sarah. You can't sit there and tell me these pictures of Sarah don't remind you of certain faces Tyler makes! I hope he always reminds me of her.

Brandt Gibson in a Nutshell

The Amazing Kell Bjorn decided to start keeping track of everything Brandt Gibson said. Here are a select few: “I’m a horse of a different color!” “No Pain…No Pain.” “Nobody corrals me!” “Die!” “But on the other hand, you have different fingers.” “I’m not stressed, I’m not stressed; if you tell me I’m stressed…I’ll kill you.” “I parked around back in the shade, so it doesn’t get 65,000 degrees in my car.” “Yeah, things you don’t want to hear from your bank…‘Oops’.” "You've been tasered!" "Click-click-a-click...booyah!" “Blame it on Kell, it’s all his fault…It was either Kell or Canada and you’re closer.” “Girls just want to have Lu-unch…” “I have been Dudded.” (After receiving some Milk Duds) “Get out of my Chaaiirrr.” (Said with a low raspy evil voice) “Gloria’s here…ruuunnn!” “That is highly possible…just not probable.” “Gift of tongues Kell, enjoy it.” “Revenge is a dish that is best served cold.” “Don't you think? Please use this well. Marriage becomes...

Tyler

We had to sneak in to take this during nap time last week. Any resemblance? He loves to sit in his "big boy" chair. Fourth of July BBQ (on the 3rd of July) in 60 degree windy weather (which is why he has a sweatshirt on).
