playing adult

i moved in on Wednesday... and I have a really good reason for not updating- I have no internet right at the moment. I am waiting for the tech guy at my apartment to get me all set up. Very frustrating to be cut off from that-

i'm at my aunt and uncle's house- eating their food and using their internet service... HUGE blessing!! Fabulous- wonderful blessing. I feel so alone without internet. It's that horrible?!

Anyway... I have my own apartment. I'm cooking my meals and cleaning up after everything I do... I'm grocery shopping and job searching... riding mass transportation... and I really feel like I'm playing adult. I'm going to wake up in a couple weeks and realize its not a game. The nerves and stress and excitement and fear is driving me nuts. Absolutely nuts... I'm glad to be able to relax at my aunt's house for a little bit.

I wish I could talk more... I really do. As soon as I get internet in my apartment I will write a lot more... but I must go.

much love,
Kynley Michal

PS- I POSTED PICS!!!

meet new bob

ahh... yeah, meet new bob. My pillow... I bought a new pillow today and as tradition demands- I named him Bob. Bob the IV. Yes, the Fourth.... and I yes, I know I'm crazy. I really have come to accept AND embrace the fact. Makes life easier, you know?

anyway... I started really packing today. I put all my books in a box, and I wrapped up all my pictures in their frames... I started to take down my posters... and put up all my sister's stuffed animals on the empty shelves my books and picture frames left behind... It's really helping the feeling that I know I'm going to be moving out and moving on. It was a sad feeling... but it also helped with the excitement.

wow... things are happening fast. I got my class schedule yesterday... and I filled up my calendar with my schedule. Thursday and Friday I have no class. I have a morning class on Monday (7:30 to 11:30) and a afternoon class (12:30 to 4:30)... then I have a afternoon class on Tuesday.... and then a afternoon class on Wednesday and a night class (6:00 to 10:00).

I leave in one week- seven days.

much love,

Therefore, in the present case I advise you: Leave these men alone! Let them go! For if their purpose or activity is of human origin, it will fail. But if it is from God, you will not be able to stop these men; you will only find yourselves fighting against God.
Acts 5:38-39

brown and cream

I took my brother and his girlfriend shopping for his outfit for homecoming. I didn't realize how difficult it is to find a brown shirt and a brown pair of pants that match each other.... and match her dress..... woah.... I'm tired. we found this great shirt at Kohl's... but then we couldn't find the shirt in Kyle's size.... sooo... we ran around to several different stores in search of a nice brown shirt that both Sami and I liked.... what Kyle thought about everything meant nothing, except for if he was comfortable or not... lol... even then we still made him get the shirt we picked out. He didn't like the way it felt when he had the top button buttoned, eh, he'll live. Sami and I liked the shirt so he was going to like it too. Sami found this very cool cream colored tie with circles all over it... matching her brown and cream poke-a-dot dress. We found the shirt- pants- socks- and belt at JCPennys.... after two hours of shopping. Wasn't too bad I'd say, but I'm still tired.

Oh! you know what... I think this is the first time I've mentioned my brother's girlfriend. : ) Sami or Samantha, preferably Sami. I like her immensely. She is an adorable red head that my brother met at camp, and she lives in town. It is pretty fun to watch my brother around her... he's so whipped. It cracks me up. AND the best part is that he admits it and isn't not embarrassed about it at all. : ) sooo cute (and absolutely hysterical.)

much love,

thrilled

ooooh... I got my new computer yesterday. I'm rather giddy with excitement... : ) Can you blame me? I have a MacBook Pro now! Heck, I will be honest and say it is not a "brand new" computer. No... my mother got that one and I got her (not very old) MacBook Pro. Am I complaining? oh you can bet not!

I'm thrilled. thrilled. thrilled.

*sigh* I just wanted to let you all know! *sheepish grin* mercy...

Other than a new computer I have no incredible news to share... so I won't bore you. I'll post again, promise.

Much love,
Kynley Michal

The LORD is near to all who call on him, to all who call on him in truth. He fulfills the desires of those who fear him; he hears their cry and saves them.

instants

oooh... I'm so sorry. can you picture me with my flaming red face buried in my hands? I'm so sorry I haven't updated in.... forever it seems. I'm going to apologize one last time and try to move on from this horrible thing I've done.

I'm so sorry.

well, I leave for college in roughly three weeks. I am really excited, but the nerves are building up. I always get nervous and scared when things change.... I can get really worried about the unknown. *deep sigh* but I'm still super excited. I mean I'm moving into an apartment... not a dorm room, but an apartment. That is very exciting. and my roommate is a sweetheart, she makes me smile. She is more excited I think than I am about having an apartment of our own. She's been planning and decorating all summer.

... the most mind boggling thing about this is trying to wrap my mind around the fact that... I'm moving out of my parents house- things will never be the same again. my parent's house will never completely be the place I "live" anymore. That has been a gut wrenching feeling. I love my family and can't completely picture myself as not always being with them. I know that this change is going to be tough- but I truly think I'm ready to do this. I know that I must keep moving forward... and moving forward means taking this step. *deep breath* it's going to be a leap of faith- I want to walk by faith down this path that God has laid before me.

and as President Lincoln said... (I'm paraphrasing mind you, just know I didn't think this up all by myself) the great thing about the future is that it only comes one day at a time. I think I can handle that.

Other than thinking a lot about moving out and moving on... I've been quite busy. I designed the senior board for my class that will hang in the cafetorium (i know weird word, but that's what they call it at school). ten hours roughly of work... maybe more. It was a big job, but it was an incredible feeling of accomplishment when I was done with it.

I've also had a couple odd jobs here and there.... at the high school and at the scrapbook store in town. plus, we've been at camp and vacationing in Michigan. . . lol... plus shopping with my roommate and building up the excitement as we plan.

... I've also been distracted by other things... not things, people. It has been a earth shaking couple of weeks. My cousin was diagnosed with melanoma... and had brain surgery. She is so dear to me... I love her so much. I'm scared, so scared.

last week I found out that a friend I knew well in middle school and my freshman and sophomore year... I found out he died in a car accident. just like that... gone.

never have I been more aware that every breath I take is a gift from God... every breath that he gives to the ones I love dearly are gifts from God- but he could call anyone home at any time... in an instant.

an instant... that's all it takes.

much love,
Kynley Michal
