Sorry!!!

So I wanted to do a post when I had some pictures to put up, but then I realized I didn't bring my camera with me to Thanksgiving...but Logan did, so I will try and get those photos from him. Well it was hard to come back to Utah....so cold, so frigid. But we are excited to be leaving this place in about three weeks. Logan is trying to sell his Tacoma, so if you know anyone who wants or needs one, hollar back....(my ghettoness). Anyways...hope everyone is doing well!

I am a brunette

Okay, so for those of you who know me, you know that I have had quite the history with my hair. From the time I was little till I was in middle school, I was a dishwater, ashy blond. When I was in middle school, my mom started to highlight my hair, so I was more blond. High school-I tried to dye my hair really really blond and it came out orange. I suffered through 4 different colors that day (I went from orange, to red, to redish-purple, to brown)...after awhile, my blond started to come through and I was once myself again and remained so until last year. I dyed my hair once again to brown and quickly went back to blond when Log and I got engaged. Well I needed a change once again, so I decided to go back to brunette. That didn't work so well the first time...I got a brunette color with blond tints and it turned my hair orange! It was funny for like two seconds, but then Log started calling me carrot top and I felt ugly. So I got darker dye and now I am a dark brunette. How about that? I will post pictures later!

I've been tagged

So apparently, I must write 6 different interesting things about myself, but the problem remains that I really don't know 5 other people, so this may be hard.

1. My whole life I have been known as Jellie. It all started when I was born and my oldest sister Tanya went to school. Some boy asked her what my mom had named me and she kept saying "Jennilee" really fast, sounding like "Jellie". Well the boy was like, "What's her name....Jellie?" and Tanya thought that was funny, so therefore, I am forever-more Jellie. Even today, Logan and my parents in law call me Jellie. But I guess it is a lot easier to call me Jellie than to remember Jennilee.

2. In high school, I was named Homecoming queen. I still don't know why because I probably didn't deserve it, but it was still a honor. My grandpa still calls me queenie and you know what, I don't mind one bit. Bet Logan doesn't know he was married to royalty...

3. I have sprained my right ankle 5 different times. I will tell you, my ankles will be the death of me...I swear they are so worn out from all of the soccer I played. Now whenever I accidentally lean too far outwards, I will actually sprain my ankle again. But we all have our weaknesses.

4. My favorite kind of food has to be grilled cheese sandwiches. In fact, I blame them for my being overweight. My sister, Caitlin used to make me at least 3 every day after school. I had no shame, I ate those things like they were candy. Even to this day, I crave grilled cheese sandwiches with munster cheese. But they always make me so sick afterwards and I think it is because I am lactoseintolerant. Oh well, I still love them.

5. I was on the surf team in high school. I was like 1 out of 5 girls on the team and 1 of 2 that could actually surf. Our coach depended on Sara Newbold and I to actually place in the heats. Sad part is, whenever we did have competitions, they were like the biggest, most stormiest days, so we all did pretty bad! But I had a good time!

6. I have an overwhelming secret desire to end up living in Hawaii. I went to school there for almost 2 years and it was awesome. I loved going to the beach and surfing big waves that I never thought I would be able to surf. But it is so beautiful, I love the weather and I love the ocean. Plus no one would ever complain about coming to visit us, just the prices I guess. But who knows!

California here we come!

Hey everyone! It is official, Logan and I are moving to Sacramento at the end of this semester. We are going to live for a few months in Bob and Carla's apartment they are building above the garage so that we can get on our feet a little bit. We are been spreading the news a little bit, but now that it is official, everyone should know. Hopefully from there we can buy our own house in a few years or so, but if you know me, then you will know my plans are about as stable as a rock balancing on a point. Anyways, just thought I would let you all know! We love you and talk to you soon!

Logan's post

This is the car that Logan built himself this summer..it was a VW bug, but now a woody

Ah-ha!!!!

Okay, so I am definitely figuring this out little by little. Traci helped me with a few things, but sorry for all of the updates and the tons of pictures of us...what can I say, I am obsessed with trying to make this look good. But I guess that isn't what its about. I like to keep in touch with family and to show them what we are up to. As of today, Logan has fixed his truck for good??? At least we think, he has been meddling on that thing for quite some time. I on the other hand have a very nasty case of bronchitis which I am ready to give up. Our neighbors downstairs were complaining yesterday morning because I was hacking up some unwanted stuff in my chest. Anyways, all is well in the Calkins' home...its cold, really cold but we are somehow surviving. We love you all and you will probably see less updates from me because I will get over doing it so often....thanks for your patience and goooo Padres!!!! ( I know the season is over, but I still love them)

Here we are!

Logan and his band playing at BYU..it isn't the best recording, but at least you can get a little taste of what he does around here....we love them!

US!

Logan and I went bowling with a couple of friends and had a lot of fun!

In Manti on the 4th of July with my parents...all I have to say is that we witnessed the best fire works show in all of my years!!! hehe

The Calkins'

Hello everyone! I got my sister's family's blog and I thought to myself, "Hmm, that might be a good idea for Logan and I!" So here I am creating a blog for us. I don't really know what to say the moment, but just know that we are doing really good here and we miss our families! I hope everyone is doing good and we look forward to updating you on our lives very soon-ish-ness-issss....!
