Keep Your Head Up

Ok so lately I have been going to tennis practice every day and tomorrow we have our first match. And I will be playing #1 singles on Varsity. I am very very scared. I'll be playing the top players in the state! People who devote their entire lives to tennis. Nothin' else. So, naturally, I am very nervous. But I am really trying to keep a positive attitude about it. And I started thinkin' yesterday about tennis. Now, in tennis, the serve is the most important thing. And it has taken me a long time to get a good serve. Finally I am starting to serve fairly consitently and fairly well! It's very exciting. And this is what helped me: keeping my head up. In the past I had always followed the ball as I served it with my head and then it would go straight into the net. So every time my serves go in the net I remind myself to keep my head up and then they go in! It's a wonderful feeling! And this is how I want to be in life. I want to always keep my head up. Always be positive! When you look down all you see is the trials that are ahead. The "net" in your life is always tryin' to stop you. And all that's gonna get you is a bunch of double faults and a crappy life! So I am going to play #1 singles with my head held high on and off the court! I will not give up even though I know it's going to be difficult. Probably easier said than done but I will definetly give it my all.

I'M BAAAACK!

he. he. he. Hey guys...Uh this is Kelsey! Yes, I am alive! So I was readin' some blogs and I realized that I don't haaaave to have pictures every time I wanna blog. So I am going to be doing a lotta blogs just sayin' cool stuff and random fun stuff like a did in my early blogging days! SO this post is gonna be about my summer and my life right NOW.
This is summer has been fantastic! I did some traveling! My first trip was to Branson, Missouri! I went there with my touring group in Clayton Productions. It was really a great experience. I love to perform with all of my heart. It makes me so incredibly happy! So I was there for a week and then the day after I got back from that my mom, dad, and I drove to CaliforniAAA! We went to my brother's apartment and we hung out with him and his beautiful wife Taci! They are so great! And while we were there we went to....DISNEYLAND!! I love Disneyland so freakin' much. We only went for a day but we got all the best rides in so it was awesome! And then we went on a three day cruise from San Diego to Ensenada Mexico! It was my first cruise and it was so COOL. Cruise ships are amazing!! They are so big and they have soooo much food! But I dicovered that I get sea-sickness! I had to just go and sleep forever cuz I felt so dizzy! Which was totally fine by me! I loved to just sleep and eat! And then we had to cut our trip a little short because...MY NEPHEW, SCOTT, WAS BORN!! Aw and he is just so stinkin' adorable!! I love him and Joshy soooo much! They are the best nephews EVER! And then...oh yeah when I got back from that trip I started teaching tennis in my backyard to little kids! I taught four days a week, two hours a day, for two weeks. It was the easiest job ever! It was so fun to teach these little kids how to play the sport that I love so much! And then after that I did an additional five day camp cuz the kids liked it so much! And then my most recent adventure was girl's camp! My mommy was the director but our ward was so small that we had to combine with another ward so we got to go up to the Heber Valley Girls Camp! We did a toooon of different awesome crafts and we did this swing thing that was sooooo cool! And it was even cooler cuz my friend Hannah got to come with me! It was so so so much fun! And theeeeeen Jake and Taci came to OUR house and currently our ENTIRE family is reunited once again and I love it! I love my family so much! OH! I am on the Hillcrest tennis team and I am lovin' it! I haven't found out what position I'm playing yet...but I am pretty sure I will be playing #1 singles on varsity...which may sound impressive but it's actually really scary because all the other schools are way better than us...but I am confident that it will be a fun year no matter what!! Ok now that was a lot to jam into one post! But there ya go! That is my life!

Hehehe...oops!
