Some Catching Up....



Hello dear friends!! I am quite a terrible blogger, I must say so myself. So here is the scoop on the life of Shaun and Kelly Nelson! First term has definitely begun! Shaun is taking 3 courses - yikes! I am still working away as a Career Adviser at BYU-Hawaii Career Services. Shaun and I were blessed and each had the opportunity to fly back to our loving homes : ) Our scheduling was terrible I have to admit! Shaun left first - for 2 1/2 weeks!! I was on the little island of Oahu all by my lonesome! But it gave me the time to earn the big bucks and become a work-out phene. Then Shaun came home, we were together for a couple of days then I left for 2 1/2 weeks!! Going home was truly a blessing for both of us. Even though we missed each other terribly!!!!We needed to go home for ourselves and we were both needed at home. The Lord blesses us in soooo many ways! Oh speaking about answered prayers - I lost my leather journal and so I prayed, and prayed and PRAYED. The Lord answered because Shaun called me one night to tell me he found it!! Thank goodness! The gospel is true people - don't forget it!!! Oh and officially Shaun and I not only have Church Callings (Shaun: Employment Specialist and Kelly: Ward Activities Committee member) but next week we have to give TALKS!!! I am sooo nervous! So much pressure to say the things the LORD wants you to say to His children. The talk topic: How to live in Harmony with the gospel : Any Suggestions!!?!?!?!?!?

BTW, I got my graduation extended!! (That is very good because I can now receive my certificate in professional mediation) : ) Being a certified mediator looks awesome on a application to law school!! Shaun and I will be graduating TOGETHER in April 2010! So since we are here only for 1 more year in Hawaii I am determined to make the HAWAII BUCKET LIST! We cannot leave Hawaii without any adventures! EVERYONE TELL ME WHAT YOU RECOMMEND WE SHOULD DO!! I am totally stoked to start making the bucket list and checking adventures off!!

Also, it was my BEST FRIEND'S CARRIE AKEMON'S 22nd BIRTHDAY August 6th, 2010 (last Friday). I love her so much as I wanted her to feel loved! I miss her all the time! She truly is one of the most amazing human beings that has ever been on this earth. I am truly blessed to have her as a best friend. She is the kindest, most generous, loving, funny, compassionate, country-loving, UK crazed fan I have ever met! It has been far too long since we have been together! I LOVE YOU CARRIE !!!


That's it for now!! So give me suggestions on things I should say in my talk and things to do on my Hawaii bucket list!
