LEAP DAY!

Generally, today would be the last day of the month, however, as it is leap year, we have an extra day!!! In honor of that special day, my roommates and I will be playing leap frog, eating grasshopper cookies, and then watching "The Bourne Ultimatum". The movie is not so much for the day, but because we wanted to watch it. What will an extra day bring for us this year? Only time will tell.

My personal diploma ceremony!

I wanted to share my diploma opening 'ceremony' with all of you...enjoy!

Just so you know...

I finally figured out how to make and put a slide show on my blog, so the pictures from my 24th birthday are finally up!!!

Random Happenings as of Late

Alright my friends, just wanted to give you an update in the exciting life of one Kristen Kennedy. I am still doing Provo High Driver's Education, and loving it! Some days can be a little long (I only work the range for 2 hours at a time) because it gets a little boring watching teenagers drive around and around for that long. I have been subbing occasionally and even had time to do my taxes...go me!
Clark and I have been spending time together, as we do enjoy that aspect of dating and liking each other! We had a low key Valentine's Day where we took in an art exhibit that had some of his roommate's photography and went to dinner, where we ran into Natalie Nance. We also took Clark's younger brother, Brady, to see the Utah Blaze (AFL team...indoor football) in a scrimmage game and to meet the players. We had a blast, and apparently Brady thinks I am fun because he wants to adopt me as his sister, which is cool because he never wanted a sister before. I also got to hang out for a bit with Clark's parents, and they are so great! They were so gracious and genuinely interested in me, and I loved being in a home with parents and family and all that fun stuff.
Our ward threw a date night with dinner and dancing, and we had a blast! My roommate, Jennifer, and our dates were trendsetters, twice! We got a bunch of people to do the electric slide (on a non-country song), and to artistically move about the dance floor (walking with style) during another song. Clark taught me about cha-cha, and we even waltzed a bit too. Of course, we also made up some pretty sweet dance moves.
A side note...the church where we had this party had restroom doors with handles...ODD!!!
All in all, things are going well, and I am happy and hope that you all who are reading this are also doing well and are happy and at peace in your lives! I love you all!

Here is a little picture of Clark and I at the dance.

Pancake fun!

So, my roommate has a tradition of having an "Aunt Jemima pancake night" in February to celebrate Black History Month. We had pancakes, waffles (with a plethora of fixin's) random facts about different Black people that have made a difference in the world, and music too! Here is a picture of Clark and I at the party!

Facebook status change...

For those of you who are not aware as of yet...I have officially changed my facebook relationship status to "in a relationship"....yes ladies and gents, I am dating someone! His name is Clark; he is from my ward, and we are dating. We actually started getting to know each other at the beginning of this semester, and then a date progressed to more getting together, usually with our apartments, and then a second date, which included hand holding, and now we are together. He is from Utah, studying business, and he can play a plethora of instruments. I am excited to be dating a guy, but I am not exactly sure what is going on, what to do, etc....it has been so long, and I did it wrong the last time I tried to date a guy, so hopefully I am better at it this time! I love you all!!!!

Life Update!

I continue to substitute every so often, and I enjoy it a lot. I am also working for Provo High School with their Driver's Education program every day after school. I am really enjoying it, and my boss-lady is excited to have me! She keeps me informed on things at the school, like the possibility of a health teacher position opening in the fall! We shall see if it is for me!

I went on a second date tonight...don't have a heart attack! I know it has been a long time since a second date has come my way, but it was great and hopefully there will be more in the future!

I am SICK SICK SICK of the snow.
