Our New Hobbies

Paul and I have recently found two new callings in life. Racquetball and Golf. I think we're actually pretty good! Racquetball is basically the first sport that I (Corinne) am actually decent at and it's fun! If you haven't given it a chance yet, you should. Just make sure the ball doesn't hit you in the face. That's a little painful. Paul's accidentally hit me in the face with the ball like three times already.

Golf on the other hand gives me rage issues ;), but I am getting better. It now only takes me an average of two or three swings to finally hit that teeny tiny ball vs. the approximate ten that it was taking at the beginning. Sometimes I feel like chucking the golf club across the coarse. I'm just sayin' (Don't judge). It's very exciting when you actually hit it thought. Paul is awesome at them both of coarse. He gets up at 5:30 in the morning to go play with his man friends. Now that's some serious dedication. Here's some pics of us in action!

Paul selected my stunning golf ensemble

The Big Flood

My hair is blonde (just in case its been too long since you last saw me and you couldn't remember) and I have been long overdue for a blonde moment. Well, I guess the blonde fairy decided to throw all the blonde moments I was overdue for and throw it into one day. So the new blonde joke is...

So there is this blonde girl. Her husband left the water running on some frozen chicken for it to defrost. In a gallant attempt to save the planet, she pluggs the sink for it to fill up so that no more of the world's water supply would be wasted. Then she gets in the shower. When she gets out she is confused when she still hears water running. "That's funny," she says, "Why do I hear water running when I just turned it off?"

Yep, that happened. I ran into the kitchen to find water over-flowing from the sink and inches of water slopping around my entire kitchen. Yep. The whole thing. Not just some corners. I spent the remainder of my day frantically running around ringing and drying. It would have been an optimal picture moment but in all my franticness I forgot to pause and take a picture but it looked a little something like this:

Paul came home from work to find me like this:

Wait! It gets better. Later that night I slipped while attempting to clean my turtle's cage and the whole thing shattered into tiny little pieces AND I cut my finger while trying to clean it up.


After that I just gave up on accomplishing anything that day. I sat on the couch and watched TV for the remainder of the evening. I thought it would be in everyone's best interest if I didn't touch anything else.

I still love Technology

Hmmm, I don't know why it split my message into two posts. I was also going to post some sweet pictures but apparently it won't let me send pictures. One step at a time I guess. Any helpful tips?!

... But I can't make any promises.

This is my first post done entirely from my phone! We're getting so technologically advanced. I'm so proud of us. Maybe now I will get better at updating

The Kelley's in Europe

After a year of scrimping, saving, sacrificing, not eating out, and dollar movies, it finally paid off in the most amazing trip to Europe we could have ever asked for! We spent most our time in Paris because...it is the most fabulous, and then we ran around Ireland and Italy too! We feel our experiences will best be shared through pictures. Enjoy!

We plan to move to Paris shortly ;)

To More Important Things

What has happened to us since the hot pad catching on fire in September (complete with pictures)...

                                       4. Paul's parent's came to visit for Christmas!

5. We went to the zoo!

And now...It's February!!!! Thanks for reading friends!

We know, We're bad

We know, we know, we know. It has been a very long while. Too long, since we have updated our blog. I could use the excuse that we have been busy, which is minorly (how do you spell minorly) true, but really we just haven't updated. No good excuses. We apologize to the ten people that read our blog.

So, first things first, we updated our blog design. I know, BIG news. If you remember from a couple posts ago I promised Paul that since I did our last blog design pretty girly I would do our next blog design manly. I started doing a motorcycle theme and then he asked if there was a Utah State design...so here it is! (If you didn't notice I secretly threw in a flower in the corner, but it's blue so it doesn't count...and there's some polka dots, but just a few ;)).
