| - To whoever out there is listening... (other than the blatently obvious and the hordes of admiring youngsters  )
Wow. I can't believe that it has been so long since my last post... When I made my heading for my site I didn't realize how truly appropriate it was... Sape, when we had our nostalgic conversation tonight, I have to admit that I got a little depressed after I talked to you... I hate that I didn't REALLY realize what a good time I was having until its over... and now I can't get it back. I'm just glad that awesome people like you are still in my life. I've learned so much from you and most of my best memories are absolutely with you. Those were such good times, we were so young ( I know it hast been that long, but humor me) ANd now our lives have changed so much since then and are now on the verge of drastically changing even more! I guess it just spurred a weird mood! ANyways, I went back and did some surfing after we talked and you would not believe that massive amount of people (that we both know and love) that post on this thing. Not just here and there but EVERY DAY! I mean, I know its summer, but come on! (J\K all the way for anyone out there reading this! Just teasing!)
I don't know what it is about me and these things! I got on determined I was only gonna leave a short message and look at me now!! I've barely started! Omigosh its 11:22~! I didn't realize it had gotten so late! I just emailed my roomate. she had emailed me and told me that linens and things had some comforters on sale (pink and orange) that would be perfect for us... I went online and looked at them, but now I can't decide. Part of me wishes now I had never agreed to this pink and orange thing. www.lnt.com This link may not work, but if it does, go to the dorm page and look at comforters. check it out and let me know what you think! I love the pink and navy nautica on the same page! Maybe I could convince her to change! I dunno.... Well, I should go to bed, I have to get up at the crack of dawn! I'm going dorm shopping tomorrow with my mom... I have so much stuff to buy... I guess I can kiss my graduation money goodbye. Hey, that sorta rhymed! Well, good night... sleep tight... and here's to another round of thoughts on God, life, and our rapidly disappearing summer, and of course other observations and drama! Even though our lives may be very different here in a couple of months or so, I'm so glad that we can still share the details and delights of our lives with eachother. That's one thing about our friendship that I love... I've had alot of people ask me about us, what's special about us, and what makes us good friends even through good times and bad, and ups and downs... I tell them that other than us having a good time together, I can always count on you being the one person that knows I have a big paper due, or me being the one person that knows you have a test your worried about, or that you're in a bad mood cause your mom said something or that you're not paying attention cause you're in deep thought musing about something that you like to analyze! You're the one person who knows pretty much where I'm at during any given moment of the day, and I know pretty much where you are too. I tell them, we may not have long drawn out conversations every day, but you are the one person that will call me everyday just to say hey and check in. Or that I call just because I was thinking about you. Alot of friends don't have that. I know we've had our ups and downs, but who doesn't... neither of us are perfect! But I guess I just want to say thanx!!! Thinking back on the last couple years really made me realize some things! We may not have the opportunity to see eachother every day, but I cannot wait to see how your life is going to unfold! I hope you'll keep me up to date! After all, I've put in a few hours into the therapy side of our relationship! I deserve to hear how it turned out! Well, Sorry if this didn't make any sense! Can't wait do see if you have a note from you stalker... oops I mean pen pal! luv ya! ~Kyra | | |
| Hey guys!
Wow, I cannot believe it has been that long since I posted last!!! I'm so sorry everyone! But I wanted you all to know, that just cause I haven't posted doesn't mean I havent been reading all y'alls sites! I have faithfully kept up with what's going on with everyone!!! I guess I just haven't written in a while for a few reasons... First, It's the end of the semester and I have been really busy with finals, papers, and not to mention college application stuff. Everything has been pretty stressful lately... Also, there's not really anything going on in my life that is worth writing about right now! I'm pretty boring guys! Sorry! Well, anyways, for whatever its worth and no matter how boring it might be, I will try to catch you guys up!
Lessee, college apps were due Dec. 1st!!! I got my first acceptance letter!That was exciting! I also got invited to be a Capstone Scholar at UA so I was happy about that... But for now, its just a lot of waiting and a lot of applying for scholarships that has to be done! I just pray that everything is in the Lord's hands!!! I'm trying to trust him completely.
Finals went well I think! (Praise Jesus!!!) They haven't posted Biology grades yet but hopefully they will soon!!!! I just have one left, MATH... UGH!!! but hey, it actually isn't that big of a deal, so that is good! Eventhough it is the end of the semester and I am alot less stressed out, I just can't seem to get into this Christmas thing. I feel like it is the end of october, not december!!! Everytime i see a christmas decoration I jump like I am suprized!! I am baffled by the songs being played on the radio... It just doesn't feel like christmas... and I hate that cause I LOVE Christmas!!! One good thing however, is that we (my family and I) are getting to go to England, Scotland, and Wales after Christmas!!! I am really excited (and kinda nervous!) We got a really good deal, (otherwise we wouldn't be going) and I hope we have a really good time. I have been researching our family ancestry alot and my father has a little also, and we have discovered that we are decended from this royal line in scotland, and related to the english monarchy... and that SO many of my ancestors did awesome things (like fighting with william wallace, killing king longshanks (Edward 1?, inventing mountain dew!!! etc....) What's also really cool is that one of my scottish progenitors (fancy word for ancestor) was the supreme advisor to Tsar Alexander of Russia and was his friend and served the state. Its just weird that he did alot of things in his life that I am really interested in... as I learn more and more about geneaology, I wonder if things like that are spritual, or "in you blood" or something like that... There are just so many things that just make you say "wow" to God!!! So anyways, I am enjoying doint that in what little spare time I have! Its like a mystery or a treasure hunt or puzzle or something that I have to solve!!! its addicting!!!! We also contacted our "family" in scotland, and several of the Gordon castles still stand and Gordons still live there and rule that land and they invited us to come and stay with them at Gordon castle! I am psyched!!! But as long as I get to see the Loch Ness Monster I will be happy! That is what I am excited about!!!! Anywho... I just had a long spiritual\philisophical\ life conversation with the parents, those are always interesting... this one was alright though... kinda fun in a weird way..... well, not much else is going on... Mary's birthday thing is tomorrow and we are celebrating, So I am excited about that.... she is the hardest person in THE WORLD to shop for though, I spent all day today shopping for her and didn't find ANYTHING really great....
well thats about for stuff that is worth mentioning.... everyone please keep me in their prayers... I feel like this is a time of transition, change, and learning for me... there are a lot of decisions to be made, and I don't want to miss God in anything... The whole college thing is pretty exciting, but it is REALLY scary at the same time... I worry about if I am ready to leave home... especially SPIRITUALLY ready to leave home... I just hope that God is using this time now to prune me and shape me and discipline me into being the young woman that HE wants me to be... so anyways.... please remember me in your prayers!!! As I will y'all!!! Thanks for everything!!! I will update again soon!!! Hope y'all have a great weekend!!! Remember to be thankful for everything, not only in this season we are in, but also for the little things..... be blessed and stay focused on Him!!! Love y'all lots!!! ~kyra | | |
| WOW What a day!
Those are the only words to describe the crappy day it has been today... lesse.... first we had the lab from hell!!!!! that took over 2 hours and reapeated testing and fried nerves only to find out we had the perfect results, so in the end I guess it was good.... Then we had the baby AGAIN today, so that took some time out of my afternoon....then I felt sick and I had to lie down which kept me from doing school until about 4 and then we I did get to start school it took me forever to do ONE THING!!!! AND THEN I pulled up too far in a parking place at UFC and pulled my bumper off my car!!!! WHEN IS THIS DAY GOING TO END????  OH well, that's enough complaining... cause the JOY of the LORD is my strength!!! And I will bless HIS name at ALL times and sing praises for His faithfulness and mercy!!!!!!! I think God has shown me some things today, and Tommorrow is a new day! And I did have a good workout, eventhough it is hard to do by myself... Anyways, I still have lots of school work and tomorrow is tuesday which means it is the longest day of the week and math... which is never a good thing.... So I better skedaddle! Hope y'all are having a great day!!!! better than mine!!!!  See everyone soon!!! God bless~! ~K | | |
| hey you
I am so sorry i missed your call! I have been so bad about not carrying my cell phone with me!!! Its almost 10:30 and I wanna call you, but I know you are probably in bed, and its kinda late even if you are up, i don't wanna make your parents mad... but i wish I could call you! I even signed on AIM in hope that you would be on, but you aren't! so anyways, my mom hasn't been feeling very well recently, like that day you came over she was in extreme pain, so I drove for her tonight to do some errands then we went to barnes and noble... She had to look at some stuff for our trip, and i had to write my paper... She had been in the house all day too and wanted to get out so I took her... anyways... I guess I will see you in the morning! ttyl! ~K | | |
| Hey you,
I think you are probably at bible study or I would've called you...
I've just been takin a break and catchin up on my Xanga readings!!! You had a really good last post!!! Especially considering that you and Jonathan are speaking again!  Anyways, I'm glad you had an awesome day on monday!!! Especially considering our trip to MERIDIANVILLE!!!! haha, oh well, at least it was a fun adventure!!! Well, onto more serious things, as much as I hate to sound like everyone else... but GOd is sooo awesome!!! I can't believe all the things He has done for me!! He is so faithful and always takes care of whatever we need.... I think I'm really learning to trust Him, and I think He is giving me peace about alot of things!!! I'm so thankful!!!! Let's really try to keep eachother up in prayer, even though things are going pretty good right now, like you said, this is a very influential and critical time in our lives, and you and I as friends especially need prayer from eachother. Please let me know if you have anything specific you need prayer for, or anything that you want to be better in or whatever! You sound like you had a "God" moment on monday!!! What happenned or what did you start thinking about??? Just curious! Anyways... I know you already know this, but don't let yesterdays events keep you down! I know they're proably not, you're pretty resilient like that. But, if they are still bothering you, just know that God has blessed you so much, and that he has everything in His hands and in His control... He has blessed you with so many gifts, special gifts that he created especially for you... No one has the gifts you have; carter doesn't have them, nathan doesn't have them, your mom doesn't have them, I don't have them... Only you.... He created you with specific characteristics in mind, and whenyou see His plan, you will see how it all worked out for the best and for His Glory... I struggle so much with feeling inferior, and unworhy, and unvaluable, so believe me, if that's how your feeling then I know exactly what you are going through... Just trust HIM!!! But I know you know that! well, I gotta go to Russian in a while, but if you feel like talking later give me a call!! I should be home by 5...
SO I will talk to ya later!!! hope you're having a great day!!! love ya more than you know!
