I Guess Once Every Two or Three Months is a Good Time to Blog!
Wow... I am DEFINITELY slacking on the blogging front.
The actually realization of so many things are hitting me harder than I could have ever imagined.
February was a pretty dang amazing month for me.I got my license (finally I have SOME freedom), I surprised my "Second Mamma" for her birthday, it was my awesome 18th and I got to spend my birthday lunch with people I care about VERY deeply. My birthday night was good as well, I went to a relaxing church event for all the Laurels in our Stake and it was like a little relaxing retreat. I still laugh today about how funny it was when I surprised Lisa (aka Second Mamma), Jasmine had picked me up from the train station and we went to Von's got balloons (which took FOREVER for the guy to blow up) and got some flowers. While Jasmine and I were waiting for the balloons she came back over with like 3 boxes of cake mix and 3 things of frosting in her arms. We got to Lisa's and made Laura (Mamma D) go inside to help distract Lisa while we decorated her car with the window paints I had and we put the flowers and balloons on her car. I was SO happy I pulled it off. That was the exciting thing about February besides the fact of me turning 18!
March has been an interesting month so far. Mainly when all the realization hit.
I never realized how far 2,448 miles really is until I found out a family who I have grown close to is going to be that far away just like my friends in NYC. I really don't like it.. Wow, feels like people get ripped away all the time BUT I have realized there is a reason for everything and that life is ultimately in the hands of God and that there is a plan for every person in this world. I have realized the next few month will be hard, amazing, and eventful. I have noticed I will constantly have my "family" there to support me. Job hunting is hard but I definitely need a job.
I had been able to celebrate my "little sister" Taylor's birthday party with the "Second Famiily" this weekend. I swear I had never had so much fun with so many RANDOM people and a webcam! Friday night was an extremely long night. Mixed with my back pain and Taylor's jalapeno burned hands (the oils from her pulling out the seeds got in to her cuticles and burned her hands for HOURS) there was no sleep involved until about 4 o'clock AM Saturday morning (the party was that day at about noon)! So, Kendall was a little out of it and very tired but living on caffeine! After the party and before the party Taylor and I were making videos (too bad my sound on my computer is lame) and then we took pictures and then the kids (Tony, Gabby, Cody, Tay, and I) went to COCO's for Sunday's then came back and made more videos. SO FUN! I crashed at like 1 in the morning Sunday and woke up at like 9. The only real day of sleep I got all weekend (it is killing me now)! So now, here I am back to thinking how blessed I am to have the "family" I do. I am SO grateful for all my amazing friends that are now my family. I am still thinking how much I will hate having more of my "family" friends 2,448 miles away yet realize there is an exact reason for it. Graduation will be here faster than I know it. I am so excited/nervous/anxious for it to finally come (just three more months)!!!!
Right now I am not letting the next few months upset me or make me down because TODAY is the only day to plan, one little day at a time and keeping my head up. I love what my life is at this EXACT moment. I have the best people in my life right now. So, for my birthday I got a new laptop with a webcam and the pictures I have taken are absolutely HILARIOUS. I will post a few from the party and the craziness but I will warn you they are creepy.
So now the people who look at this are all caught up. Wow now my life seems pretty boring! :) I love it.
I am grateful for: the amazing people the lord has blessed me with.
Debi and Jess: two people who have grown to be a huge part of my life this year. They both do some of the silliest things that can make me laugh no matter how bad of a day I am having.Just when I thought I could not gain anymore respect for a someone I am proven wrong by Debi. I have more respect for that woman than the average person can imagine. It is like that for a lot of my older friends in my life. They both inspire me to be the better person I know I can be. Both of these people always have smiles on their faces even when they cry. After only knowing them for not even a year I feel like it has been 5 years that they have been in my life. The fact that in two short months they will be gone breaks my heart BUT Debi and her family will continue to bless other peoples lives. I owe Debi and Jessica for so many things, I hope they understand that they are amazing people and that they will continue to do great things no matter where they are at. Like I said these two people have smiles on their faces even when they are crying. They are positive people and an amazing mother daughter team. I look up to both of them even though Jessica is younger than me because of the people they are. Debi has taught me that no matter what you as a person are never alone. There will always be one person there for you. If I am half as amazing of a person they are I am happy.
I love you Deb and Jess!
Lisa and Taylor: My mamma #2 and little sister. The two people who over the course of the last year or so have gotten to know me inside and out probably better than I know myself. Constantly the ones I come to whenever I am having a rough time. Where ever they go whether they know the person or not they will both start talking to a random person. Seeing someone with so much kindness even when they are having a rough day is a quality I wish to develope from them. They have been my rock on the worst of days and allow me to vent. A thing I wish to take from them is the ability to always put "family" first and to realize that they will never give up on me and always be behind me. They are part of an amazing second family.
I love you Lisa and Tay!
Laura and Jasmine: My mamma d and razz jazz. Them along with Lisa and Taylor have become the "GIRLS" (our little group). We all are so much alike to where it freaks us out. Laura and Jazz always know how to put a smile on anyones face and are there to help when it is needed. These ladies are unbelievable. I have been so bless to have met them when I did. I couldn't have asked for a better time to meet two people like them. It is really amazing seeing how fast Jazz and Laura can make anyones day better. They would do anything for anyone and that is the truth. They are both two people who over the last year have held me together when I needed it. I am so grateful for them because they are two EXTREMELY talented people who I know I can rely on. I am extremely grateful for their strength and ability to overcome some of the trials they have had thrown at them. They are two amazingly gorgeous ladies who I am proud to call part of my second family.
Love you Mamma D and Jazz!
Randi and Melissa: Two women who are always positive and always tell a person to put full effort in to their dreams.I am so extremely grateful for Randi for always having a smile on her face no matter how much pain she really is in. That smile continues to help me become a better person. Randi has been the person for the last year or so that I have been able to come to when I needed someone to talk to and has been a constant person I know I can lean on and that I will always enjoy her company. Melissa is a constant fighter. I am so grateful for her just being her. She has such a strong amazing testimony and has constantly continued to inpire me to never give up on anything that I want to accomplish. These two women have been ones to help me grow through out the last few years to become the young loving 18 year old I am. I hope they both realize how much I really love them along with all of the other amazing people I have in my life.
I love you Randi and Melissa!
My Mom: even though I get annoyed with her and am rude to her she still encourages me to do the right thing and to be a good influence because you never know who is watching the things you do. We may not always get a long but she wants me to grow up to be the person she knows I should be.
All of the Advisors in YW: You are some of the most amazing advisors, you have taught all of the Young Women how to be their own amazing individual person. Thank you for everything you have helped with in not only mine but the other girls lives. You are all amazing.
Steph Overfelt you are not leaving for Germany I wont allow it. GOOD THING FOR SKYPE!!!! Steph, you have become one of my close friends. Getting to talk with you the last few months has been amazing. I relate to you so well and I know you have been in some similar situations I am going through and I know I can come to you and you can tell me the exact thing to do. Any minute I spend talking to you is so fun. I know you will do amazing in Germany. I hate to think you leave so soon BUT I know we will chat a ton.
Pinata Loves You!
ALL OF YOU GUYS: everyone above have been my rock in their own individual way. Each person has made my life the way it is now. I am so grateful to have the amazing people I do in my life. I consider everyone above my "family" without just one of them life is hectic and sad BUT no matter how far I am from these women they are always always going to be with me in my heart. Thank you to everyone of you for being who you are and helping me grow to be an even BETTER person. You have all been a giant blessing and a giant inspiration. I do not know what I would do or who I would be if it were not for each and every one of you. Thank you again for always acting like yourselves and not putting on an act or putting up a wall. I love you for who you all are. You are all absolutely amazing.
Okay now on to pictures!!!!!! BRACE YOURSELF! Slideshow in post above this!

AH IT'S ALREADY 2009!!!
AHHH!
It is so hard to believe it is finally 2009, the year that I thought would never come. So many big things that will be happening this year like graduation and also my 18th birthday! WOW. I feel like I am so old! 2008 has definitely been an interesting year. It had it's bad thing but I also met some of the most amazing people that I grew amazingly close with. I have amazing people in my life! :)
I don't know what to be more afraid of... Graduation, or what my friends will do AT my graduation to embarrass the crud out of me. This I cannot wait to see... I have thee most embarrassing but most amazing friends/other families!
I have noticed in myself that over the last two years I have changed and matured so much but it all ended up having a very positive affect on my life and the people in it. I really have been so blessed to be looked after the way I have, the people in my life are probably some of the most amazing people out there. For everyone who worries about me, don't because as long as I have certain people to lean on and can make me laugh there is no need to worry because every person close to me takes care of me in their own way.
Last week was a really good week for me surprisingly, I mean what girl couldn't be happy with the fact of seeing her friends again after weeks. PLUS I went sailing with some friends from church. Thursday I went over to Randi's, who is one of my favorite people, and then on Friday I went to lunch with an amazing woman who is also my other favorite person who is Debi and then I went to the Carmel PG basketball game(which PG won) WOO!!!
The way 2008 ended and the way 2009 began could not have been more amazing. I was in Pismo and had the most amazing week a girl could have. I went to dinner with the person who has actually helped me become who I am and who was the person who constantly inspires me not only to keep the strong faith I have and to never let it fail but to be who I am and to believe in myself. Melissa dinner was amazing and thank you for everything you have done for me. New Years day I ate some of thee most BOMB food (that Melissa made)and saw a bunch of families I hadn't seen since I moved even though I basically grew up with them. Mmmmm, Melissa make me some more ribs or those awesome jalapeno things! I got so spoiled by everyone for Christmas and I even got like a 3 or 4 day Christmas I mean come on now, that is totally AMAZING.
I am so excited to see what this year has in store for me. I hope it is the amazing year every person I know deserves. Some of the most amazing people have had one of the hardest years of their lives and they don't deserve it. So here is to 2009, I hope it is an amazing year filled with laughter and tons of great memories and less sadness.
Here are pictures from the year that I love to death:

I am grateful for: My amazing friends and family. Without my amazing YW's Leaders +Randi, my mom, and Second family (Lisa, Cody, ashton, Joel, Jasmine, Laura, Renee, and MELISSA) I would definitely not be able to get through life with a smile on my face like I do. Debi, Randi, Brenna, Sista Sammm, Stephanie, Lisa, MELISSA,Laura, and my mom are the people who keep me going to be the best person that I can be and they also inspire me to try to be more like them! Oh and Debi, you are amazing and always make me laugh and I appreciate that so much.You have such a warm and loving personality and are someone I know I can come to. Your company is relaxing and lifts my spirits up (same goes for Randi). Love you!

I have to do an Update
Well life for me honestly could not get any better... well, I guess it could if my back would be all better but besides that I am a very happy girl. Let's see what has been going on in the life of Kendall lately...
I have had the time of my life lately even if I wasn't doing much. Let's go back to the day before and the day of Halloween.The day before or two days before Halloween I took a friend of mine Brenna, a Dr Pepper to make her feel better which turned out she has phenomonia which is something I feel really bad about! She needs to get better!! So for Halloween I was a zebra because well those of you who know me know I am obsessed with zebra print stuff. I had the full effect I had a mane and I was all decked out. Too bad the early evening late afternoon was spent in the ER because my dad had hurt his knee but it was a plus for me because I got to drive a lot. Along with having to take care of my mom because she was really sick and I was also sick but the healthiest of the two which is pretty amazing. Going into the weekend after Halloween I couldn't have been any happier. I never realized how much you miss someone until you don't see them for two weeks and it kills you. I went to church by myself because my mother was sick still and my dad could hardly walk and it was okay because I sat with one of the most amazing women ever (Randi) and it completely made my day.
Thanks to her she has made everyday I am in pain so much better. Any little time I talk to her it completely makes my day. When I know she cares and when she asks how I am it makes everything all better. So last night as a little thank you I decided I would make some guacamole and take it to her and well I ended up staying for about two hours and we just talked and ate which is something I really needed. I gained more and more respect for her and she knows I love her a ton.She is definitely a perfect example of a hero and someone I grow to love more and more and we are like family and it is all that matters to me.
So going on to what today led to. I had to get about 8 x-rays and fill about 5 or 6 viles with blood (YUCK) so we can find out exactly what is wrong with my back and how to fix it. Who knew one of the possible diagnoses was arthritis, which I don't like because hey, I am not even 18 yet! Cannot wait to find out what is wrong and to no longer be in pain!
The elections are FINALLY OVER and I could not be happier. Yeah Obama is the new President but prop 8 is all I really cared about and got so fed up with. It was a thing filled with hatred towards the yes on 8 people and it all annoyed me so much that I eventually just snapped and yelled for people to shut up and realize it wasn't a hate crime, don't think that went over well but hey it made me feel better!
I am looking forward to the upcoming weeks for so many reasons. I get to go to Pismo for Turkey Day and I could no be happier. I am truly a blessed individual. More over the last few days I have come to respect and completely grow towards certain people and also dump the people I don't need anymore.
Okay enough writing for now here are some FUNNY pictures.
Oh and I love everyone and I will write more tomorrow after school because it is FRIDAY!!! ANDDDDD MY GOV PROJECT WILL BE TURNED IN!!!!! YESSSSSSSS!
