"CHAWED"

Chawed is a word that Laurie and I have said since college. Laurie got it from Scott's grandmother (who was her great aunt). It's the perfect word that describes when you feel embarrassed/mortified.....well just "chawed". We laugh because Laurie has Emily using that word now. When we all went to South Arkansas, Emily was doing something and we asked her to do it again and she said "I don't want Scott to be chawed". I have never laughed so hard hearing her little voice saying that.

Anyway......chawed is how I feel about seeing myself on video or having someone refer to me as a popular blogger. SUPER CHAWED. But a lot of you asked......so here it is. You are all a part of this whole little blogging world. Thanks for all the love and support you have given my family in the past year!

Kelly- I was an opera performance major in college, and I have always hated to watch myself on tv too, but I think you did great, and you are too cute!

You did a great job on the interview!! I am really upset to find out that you were in Dallas....I live in Washington state but was in Dallas visiting family at the same time you were there. If I had seen you out and about it would have been so funny!!Wish I had! Linda

Jill said...

CHAWED...you are cracking me up!

I started crying when it got to the part about Harper being in the hospital...seems like just yesterday that I was checking your blog 100x's a day for updates on that baby girl.

I think you did great!!

Kelly,
It's so cool to put a voice with a face. You did an awesome job! I've been following your blog while you were pregnant with Harper and I check in daily. That's amazing how many followers you have. I know why though....many people look to you for guidance and inspiration.
You are a blessing to the blogging world

Im so glad you shared this, I loved seeing you and your family live! Harper is just so precious, truly adorable, even my two year old daughter loves to look at her, she points and says "pitty baby". thanks for sharing Kelly.

Nancy said...

Loved seeing you on TV! You did great! No reason to be Chawed!Nancy from OHIO

Amy said...

Great interview! I have followed you blog for quite some time, but have never commented. Love the accent and your daughter is just adorable. I wish all the cute bow headbands were the rage when my daughter was little. I don't think I could get her to do something like that now at 10(ha ha). Sooo cute !

Courtney said...

You look great wonderful interview. I love how you are always yourself!

MyStyles said...

you look great! Good job!!!

Traci said...

Aww, Kelly- you should be SO proud of this! You are an inspiration to lots of bloggers and I am so glad that you were featured!

You don't talk AT ALL like I thought you would! I just knew you would have more of a country twang! ha!

Claudia said...

You did a wonderful job. You seemed so natural...not at all nervous. I have never met you, but feel as if I know you from your blog. It was great to hear your voice. I had to laugh because you didn't sound as "Southern" as I had expected you to. I live in Georgia (and have for the past several years). I thought you would have much more of an accent than you did. Again, great job! Congratulations!

Rebecca said...

Very nice :)!!!

aLena said...

Kelly you did such a fabulous job, you should be proud!

You look gorgeous as always, and Harper is so precious playing in the background! Thanks for sharing :D

Lindsey said...

Hey Kelly, that was a great interview! I've been reading your blog for awhile now (you were prego with sweet baby Harper) but have never commented! My oldest daughter even knows about baby Harper, and she has been our prayers. You have a great blog, keep it up girl! I do not have a blog YET! My husband teases me and asks when I'm going to start my own, since I read so many!:) Thanks for posting the interview, it's hard to put yourself out there!:)

Hollie said...

The Flesher Family said...

That was so fun!!! I loved being able to watch that. You are always so adorable and you and Harper looked great! She is such a doll. Thanks so much for posting everyday. I always check in and see what you are up too. I too would have come up to you if I had seen you in Dallas...I feel like I know you when I don't. It is funny sometimes when I am telling a story or refering to something I read on your blog I will say "my friend... and then I always say I mean my "pretend friend"...too funny!

Amanda said...

That was great. Your readers are so proud of you!

emily said...

Great interview! Thanks for sharing and the vocab lesson (I may start using "chawed" now)!

Kelly! I have been away for about a month and came back to your makeover of a blog!! I love the changing headings, especially the one of yourself and little miss harper!

You did a fantastic job on this clip from the news, and you look beautiful. I have enjoyed catching up on your summer time adventures and how quickly Harper is growing!! A doll.

My good friend just got a job at Children's Hospital in Arkansas -- as an audiologist -- I let her know that I think the people in Arkansas are incredible sweet and hospitable, she is very excited for moving there.

Have a wonderful day!

Awww. Im in awesome wonder watching how the Lord is working. He has picked the sweetest lil family and your blog to show his love for us. i cannot go a day without paying you and your Mom a visit. My husband evens aks about y'all...He too is a huge Razorback fan. He is from Eldorado but moved down south with me after he finished school at Louisiana Tech. Just maybe if we can ever make it to a game I will have to be on Harper and Kelly watch..hehe. Thanks for being true...thanks for being you~ Susie

jenn said...

first of all, not silly, but super cute! good job! and secondly, i've been reading your blog for a while (well since harper was born) and have never commented, but just wanted to say that that picture that just popped up with your new headers (the one of harper leaning over in her bumbo with the big bow and beautiful eyes) SHOULD BE IN A MAGAZINE OR CONTEST OR SOMETHING!!

adorable!
God bless,
jenn from texas :o)

Karen At Home Blog said...

Congratulations Kelly!!!! I just started to read your blog, I heard about it through a fellow nestie via thenest.com and it really piqued my interest. I too have dealt with the struggles of infertility and miscarriage. We are now 18 weeks pregnant and so thankful to God for this gift. I am so thrilled to see you made the news!!!! You are a wonderful person and mom and I am so glad that you are being recognized for all of those wonderful things.

Kris said...

Kelly - I found your blog many months ago while following Daniel & Lyndsie's road with ovarian cancer & their wedding plans. My child is grown and out of the house, but I love watching Harper grow and you are always so positive. What is also great is that now I know what your voice sounds like. lol Thanks for sharing your life & give that sweat little girl a big hug from South Dakota.

How great. You should not feel "chawed" at all, you should feel proud, you did an awesome job representing yourself and blogging!! =)

Laura said...

That was awesome!! Harper is so cute when they showed that clip of you holding her...ADORABLE!

Jessica said...

HI!! I'm a faithful reader, but don't comment nearly as much as I should. That was a GREAT interview!!! You did so well :) One of my blog friends just did a post about being "outted" to her friends about having a blog (she wanted to keep it private) and wanted to know how you're supposed to explain this little world of ours without feeling like a freak. Let's face it.. a lot of people don't really get it. I'm going to have to point her your way.. you hit it spot on!
You mentioned how it helped you so much because you didn't know anyone IRL who had to deal with infertility. It's been the same way for me but with military life. I don't know ANYONE IRL in the military, and now that my husband is (and therefore so am I) blogging has been the biggest blessing ever. I have a ton of other military wives/girlfriends right there who can relate, help, or sympathize with anything I may be going through. It's amazing really and I'm so thankful for it.
Congrats on getting yourself out there so much.. you have a BEAUTIFUL little girl!!

Kelly said...

My hubby and I loved watching your interview! You were amazing!!

amie simpson said...

loved it....

Cupcake Mama said...

My grandmommie in Texas used the word chawed as well from time to time. Also, just being from down the road a bit in Russellville, you don't have an accent to me! We sound alike! When I read your posts, I "hear" a voice, with an accent, but the voice in my head was higher. Funny, I thought the same thing about MckMama, but she probably had a Southern accent in my head too!
Please forgive my rambling...I spent the last two nights sharing a bed with my 6 year old and 2 1/2 year old while we were out of town!!

Fran said...

Well you go girl!!!!! AWESOME JOB!!

And being an Arkansas girl myself I think we sound just alike. ;)

Excellent job.
Hope y'all had a great day.

Love,
Fran

Hi! I just found your blog through one of my friends who posted about her wedding dress... I am already obsessing over the cuteness of your little family and how incredibly sweet you seem. It's so awesome to see that you're praying and lifting up others to the Lord as well. I love it.

Keep up the awesomeness. xo
