Who is this Brownie? Yes, it is me Kelly Blackham. 
One of my (not so good class) pictures. I think this is 4 grade. Yes I actually had curls in my hair, naturally. I am the youngest of 3 kids and the only girl. My brothers would say I was spoiled, but I don't think so. My dad was in the air force so we moved about every 3 years. I have lived in D.C., Colorado, Nebraska, Germany, Nevada and Arizona. I was a pretty innocent kid up till high school. I just don't know what happens when kids hit that time. Lets jump forward and learn some more.
Me in my skinnier days. Yep, in high school (weren't we all). I did love my dad just wouldn't admit for a couple more years. For not growing up in the church I was pretty lucky to have the same parents I was born with. High School, High school, were should I begin. For the good part: I was a good student always keeping a b average. I played volleyball for 3 years, and cheer for 1 semester. I got my first job at Bank of America shortly after turning 16 plus my brothers hand me down car. I still thought I was cool, because I had a car at 16. For the juicy stuff: I started dating way to early about 15, without my parents knowing (later they found out). I was engaged at 16, to who I thought was the love of my life. Ended up just being a totally jerk who abused me. I dated my far share of losers as my dad would call them. I wonder why I did not like my dad, but boy was he right. We moved to Arizona shortly after I graduated.
After moving to Arizona I started CGCC and was still working at Bank of America. My mom got a job in the cash balancing which was up stairs where I worked at the branch. I would go up and visit her from time to time and would always notice this guy. So my mom gave him my phone number and it took him 2 weeks to call. Our first date was cancelled because his pregnant sister had gotten in a car accident. Yes, I am talking about Jeremy. By the time we finally had our first date, it had to be good right. Wrong. I guess he did not know how picky of an eater I was and he had ordered a Greek salad. Then we went and saw Excess Baggage. But it was love at first sight. Our first date was Sept 3rd, we were engaged by Thanksgiving and married that following May. School stopped shortly there after, 3 class away from my AA.
I thought this would be the wedding of my dreams, I had the dress and the guy. We'll the day before my wedding my brother signed his divorce papers (she was suppose to be in the wedding). My soon to be sister in laws (to say it nicely) weren't thrilled to be there. I don't think I saw them smile once the whole wedding. We were married by a Mormon Bishop. It was his first time doing a non-member wedding and he was totally nervous. We did not even recite our vows. It is so true how fast the day goes by you. I wish I could have remembered more. I LOVED my dress and I LOVED my husband.
Look how cool this playground is, or scary? but the park next to us is just as good right?The weather is getting cooler and I think it would be fun to start playgroup in the park again. The kids have time to play outside and the women have time to chat. Even if you don't have children who are young come along.
I was hoping either Mondays, Tuesdays or Fridays at 9:00.
Let me know what works for you and spread the word.
