Yesterday was Sunday. It is the best day of my week. When I was younger, it was the worst day. I hated having to bathe and wear dresses and frilly socks, and sitting through three hours of church. Now, I live for the Sundays, although I still hate to bathe. However, I take everyone else into consideration and I do shower daily...most of the time.
In Sunday school yesterday, our teacher gave us a lesson about the importance of names (pertaining to the testimony that is born of God by names such as John the Baptist, Elizabeth, Mary, Joseph, and Gabriel). The teacher had prepared a bag with every one's names and the meanings of each of their names, and it was our job to match the proper name with the proper meeting. Apparently, I'm a sucker for matching games because I loved it! Call me childish, I could play matching games all day long.
Here is the meaning of my name:
Kelly-warrior, defender
Marie-bitter sea
Well, I don't know how I feel about the whole "bitter sea" aspect, probably because I have no idea what that means. Am I tempestuous? A tempestuous, bitter warrior? Yeah, that sounds about right.
I love my name.
There's a story behind my name. It's much to personal to fling haphazardly on to the Internet, but it's a great story. My name means a lot to me because of why I was given that name. There is no better sound to me than to be called "Kelly Marie."
I'm proud of my name.
It reminds me of where I have come from, and to what family I belong, and the potential I have to do great things which will be connected with my name.
My name is great.

Yes, Kelly Marie is a great name and I'm so glad that you don't fling the story behind it haphazardly on the net! When I think of Marie, I think of Mary, the mother of our Savior. That's way better than "bitter sea". Besides you had several great grandmothers with the middle name of Maria--Anna Maria Erlandsson Peterson (which was anglizied to Mary Ann, Augusta Maria Outzen Smith, and Annie Maria Woodbury Romney being the closest ones. I'm so glad you like your name and you have grown to like Sundays! Love ya!
