I have been feeling very at peace lately. Everything feels right in my life. And I’m very hopeful about the future. I've always been a pretty content person but these last few weeks I have felt an overwhelming sense of peace like I've never known.
The Lord has placed a feeling of peace within me and it is so satisfying.
I feel open and ready to new possibilities.
I guess what I’m trying to say is… everything’s right.
(yes, that was a Matt Wertz shout out)
And for an extra special treat, here is a little something that I’ve been spending a lot of time with lately. If you know me well then you know that I can spend endless hours, just laying on my bed listening to music. Its one of my favorite things to do and is where I get my best thinking done.
These past few days I have been listening to this on repeat. I always have one song that I listen to constantly for a few weeks because it fits with my mood at the time. And right now, this is it.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy.

Update
Here is a little update on the Life and Times of Kelsie:
1.) I have been eating a lot of grapes lately. to the point where they make my stomach hurt... I'm wondering what the nutritonal value of grapes is?
2.) I have an interview on Monday for an internship! and I need to get an interview outfit. All of my appropriate interview clothes are from high school and do not fit properly anymore.
3.) The (baby) Aardvarks still have not won a game. Let alone, scored a goal. Kristen and I are beginning to wonder if it is a result of bad coaching on our part...
4.) The (Lady) Aardvarks are 3-0 and have made it to the playoffs! I'm hoping to earn my first ever intramural champions t-shirt. wish us luck!
5.) FARM DAY IS THIS WEEKEND and I am more than excited! especially because we get to spend some time in wonderful Topeka and eat at Olive Garden!! (i love breadsticks!)
peace, love and breadsticks,
KD

Blog rant
Here is my rant for the day. Sorry if it is a little negative. but I figured it is better for me to complain via blog then complain to you all in person (where you would be forced to listen). agreed?
Today for my MC research class, we got divided into focus groups and got to talk about everything that is wrong with K-State's Journalism and Mass Communications School.
It was wonderful.
There were about 15 students from the JMC school in my group and we just got to sit there and bash the JMC school. Which to some of you may sound harsh, but believe me, it was necessary.
We got to complain about out of date teachers that dont know how to use the software we use in classes and therefore have other students come to class to teach it. we talked about mean office staff (tricia: you know who i'm talking about), that everyone wants to get rid of. we talked about how our classes dont prepare us for the workforce at all and we gave them a long list of things that we would like to see changed, added, removed, etc. from the JMC school.
Unfortunately, it is a little late for me to see many of these changes. I will graduate before much change is completed. However, it feels dang good to let out your frustrations after spending 3 years in a JMC school that is from the stone age.
Fun JMC story: tricia and i are in a class together this semester that is taught by an old man that has clearly not updated his curriculum since 1990. he showed us a video that was literally from 1990, and then a fews week later... he showed it again! we had to watch the same video twice. and he didn't even realize it. (a great use of my time and tuition money)
I dont ever want to watch a video that is 20 years old... let alone, watch it twice.

Soccer Frenzy!
I just finished an evening full of soccer. And it was wonderful.
The (baby) Aardvarks, which is the little boys team that Kristen and I coach, had their second game of the season tonight. The final score was 0-0 which is an improvement from the 5-0 beating they received last week. Plus, our boys dominated most of the time. Just couldn’t score a goal! This game was much more physical than our first. Multiple injuries. But our boys took them like men. They all earned a man card tonight!
All of you need to come watch a game sometime. Seriously. It is so hilarious. You won’t regret coming. We have a game on Tuesday and Thursday of next week. BE THERE!… or else!
Once the (baby) Aardvarks game was over, I had to take off my coach’s cap and put on my player’s cap. I had my first intramural indoor soccer game of the season tonight. Kristen is also on this team with me, along with Katie and some other fabulous ladies (we are also called the Aardvarks….. Confusing? Deal with it).
I think we were all a little nervous before the game. For most of us, it had been a few years since we really played but we did great! We won 5-1. But we scored on ourselves so really it doesn’t count. Let’s call it 5-0, yes?
It felt GREAT to be playing again. Just like riding a bike! Although, I definitely noticed that some of my foot skills weren’t what they used to be, nor was my stamina. I am old and not in shape like I used to be!
You are all welcome to come watch us play, as well! However, we might not be as entertaining as the little guys. But if we make it to the playoffs then I’ll expect some fans to be rooting us on!
