"my life at this moment..."
im kaitlyn. some call me katy, others kate, and others... linda. not kidding-we had these austrailians stay with us for a week one time, and they totaly thought i was named "linda".:) anyways, im a pretty easy going kiddo. i love to do anything creative, and/or out of the ordinary (i despise routine), but im totally fine with just being with my friends. im a bit weird, i love to find different, weird words and use them, but im terrible at remembering, so it doesnt always turn out the way i want, but tranquila, tranquila. "tranquila" means "settle down", or "its not that big of a deal, its okay" in spanish. when i went to costa rica, and did really dumb stuff on accident like step on peoples toes, or spill my soup, or say on-accident bad words in spanish, and then try to apologize profusely, they would always reply with "tranquila, tranquila, chica!". i dont know why, but i just love that. maybe that contributes to my love of that country. okay, so i have been there once, for like 10 days. but, ive been to like 8 other central american countries, none compared. the people--oh, the people. hmmm, i do love people. expecially weird ones, different ones, loud ones, quiet ones, ones with stories, and ones without stories. they facinate me, i just stand in awe of gods creation sometimes. okay all the time, haha. :). there is nothing that i dont eat, except for lima beans and pretzels. i dont mind trying a minnow or two once in a while, or eating peanut butter that all my girfriends have shaved thier armpits with. no, tranquila, it doesnt bother me. i love my family--everything about them. my sister and i get along most of the time--honestly, she is my best friend. when im being dramatic and oh-my-life-is-so-aweful-ish, she just tells me to snap out of it, and i do. sometimes, i think she is the older sister, but oh well. my brother is amazing too. he is just 12, but one of the soundguys at church. speaking of chruch, my chruch is a large part of my life right now, and i hope it always will be. its such a great place of fellowship and renewing and accountabliitly for fellow christians. also, my youth groups is super. its constantly going in and out of cliques, fads, populairty, blah blah blah, but what yg isnt, huh? honestly, we--they--how ever you want to say it--my yg is the most supporting and fun group of young chrisitians ever. and yes, i am bias. :). God is numero uno in my life--and i struggle to keep it that way. i have this thing with relying in myself more than HIm. i guess i am a bit of a control freak-o. like, when we go to the lake, i dont like riding jetski unless i am driving. yuck, i dont like that feature about me. i like to analyze and observe things. and people. sometimes my friends get creeped. out. oh--i have this aunt that went to a private girls college, and her and her girlfriends always met at this certain cafe' and talked, like everyday. they always noticed this freshman in the cafe' with them, kinda staring, and keeping to herself, but never paid her any mind. at graduation, this freshman came up to my aunt and her groupo, and thanked them for being her psycology project. she had secretly anazlyed them all year--coming up with the alpha felmale and etc archetypes for them. i find that awesome, but dont worry, im not that bad. i do love to travel, talk, write, AP english, get to know people, scrapbook, make cards, go swimming, go on mission trips, and etc. i am a nanny in the summer for the offspring of a woman docor and a man farmer. the girls, 3 and 6, are great, but wear me out. mom thinks nannying is a good birth-control tatic, but i do have higher personal and spiritual morals than to need a birth-control tatic, until marriage of course. speaking of personal morals, i am a pacifist,and quite against war. i dont watch a lot of TV. i love to go camping , expecially with my friends. i have no clue what im going to do after highschool--if you ask me, depending on which day, what time it is, and what the weather is like, you will get an answer, just not a consistant one. i know im wanting to do missions--i feel called--but i dont know when where how or who. but He will take care of all the details, sigh. and im kinda ready to get out of this selfish country for a while. ummmmm thats all for now. i hvae no clue why i just wrote all of that. its just what was on my mind. did you know that "dromadary" is the family that camels belong to? i love the word "dromadary"...:)
im off

| WHEW. time for a new ummm, update, huh? i used to do one like everyday...now its like, every month! oh well, i am a working woman now...;)
got back from north carolina a week ago. perfect time---our family on
my moms side of the family all rented this 3 story house on the beach
and we all lived in it together for a week. we were on this cute little
island named "hatteras", and it wasnt widley or over-populated,
which was super. we ate octopus, rode ferries, fished, swam, built
castles, went for midnight walks on the beach, got lost, played with
crabs, caght stingrays, went shelling, relaxed, putt putt golfed,
shopped, swam, swam with stingrays, did crosswords, read, swam,
boogie boarded, and etc etc. we were at the beach every day, i got
pretty burnt. but the family memories we made was definately my
favorite part. touching, i know...;)
right now its back to work for me. i go to work at 7:30, get home at 6,
every day. oh its great. (saaarrrccaaasssmmmm). this week the girls had
swimming lessons every morning, so i had to go early, get them ready,
drop one off, entertain the other one for 45 minutes, and then do the
pick-up-drop-off thing agiain, then entertain the other one for 45
minutes. sometimes, i think it would be nice to live in town.
anyways, i kinda got to know all the other swim lesson moms,
which is kinda weird, because im not a mom. but honestly, i have been
feelilng like one. i had to go to walgreens the other day, and took
them with me, and they did the whole
"i-want-this-i-want-this-oh-katy-i-have-to-have-this" routine on me. i
had to drag them out of the store while they were crying. i was totally
embarassed, oh well thats just part of being a mom, i guess. ohhh
wait....haha.. erika has an ear infection, and so ive been with a 3
year old and a fevery 6 year old for too long. im soooo ready for the
tomorow, whew. but all in all, there are much much much worse jobs i
could have...
so, this week has been pretty un-eventfull. yeah, tahts
because i am grounded. who gets grounded anymore?? i wasnt even
grounded when i was smaller, much less 17 years old! but oh well. its
just no fun, im soo unwillingly unsocialble because of it. you see, mom
is convinced i have an "attitude". i agree with her, but there is a
perfectly logical explination for my behavior, of course. want to
hear it? okay okay: so, at work all day, every day, i am the law, i am
the mom, i am the boss, and i do what i want. i am the one that gets
everyone else in trouble, etc...then i come home and BAM--its the
opposite. im not the boss, i am not the law. therefore, my unruhly
behavior has a simple explaination. feither taht, or i just have an
excuse i keep harboring...;).
okay well im going to go clean. all cleaning has to be done tonite,
because tomorow mom and dad have a suprise FFF project for us. (Forced
Family Fun). yeah, oh taht will be fun. im guessing it will hoeing the
hay-grazer, court thinks we will have to fix the fence. only tomorow
know what it has in store, haha.
i just
emaliled one of my costa rica friends in spanish--i cant believe how
only a few months of spanish inactivity has severly hurt my brain! i
had to use the google translator! ahhh, the shame, the shame!
have a good day, myfriends!!

the end of our boardwalk that ended at the beach...

| WOW!
[double-you-oh-double-you]
okay okay okay so listen to this: (this is in response to my last post...)
okay so i went into town go get the lawnmower tire fixed, and i come
home and trev had a message for me to call some lady that called while
i was out. i didnt know who it was or anything, and i HATE not knowing
who is on the other line when calling, and i hate not knowing what they
want, idk why, its a fear-of-the-unknown-thing i think.... anyways, so
i just thought it was some desperate mom wanting me to babysit at the last minute
blah blah blah and i really didnt want to call her back. i talked with
God about it, took a nap to prolong it, and finally got up the courage
and energy to call her. right before i did, i was like "dear Jesus
please dont make it babysitting, oh please...." and then this old lady
answered. she sounded adorable, she talked real slow and beautifuly,
and she said "oh well hello kaitlyn! ive heard so much about you! and i
was like oh man, a grandma needing a vacation from babysitting. and
then she said: "well anyways, i was wondering if you would be a jr. high counselor for the hydro church camp in july, we
need one more girl counselor, so i thought id try you. someone
reccommended you and said you'd be great!! " i looked up at God and i
was like" HAHA I KNEW YOU HAD A PLAN ALL ALONG! " i totally said yes right away,
and she was overjoyed, as was i. so here we go again--im going to
be a counselor this summer. even though its not at the camp i initially
wanted, and its not the place i initially wanted, (who knew Hydro, OK
even had a chruch camp???), and i dont even know any of the other
staff, im okay with it. more than okay. i just think its amazing how He worked it all out.
whew.
okay so i have alot to do still--saturday chores, gross.
just wanted to share my wow moment with you, or as oprah would say, my "ahhhh moment".
wow, He sure knows what He is doing, doenst He...
have a great day

| hola!
just got back from camp. well not just just, but a while ago. its
four-thirty am and i still havent gotten any sleep, ugh. Anyways, camp
was super as always, there is nothing i would have changed. it was so
cool to be able to have all these great God expereiences and share so
openly with people you only see once a year for aproximately 3 days. He
is awesome, is He not? :) well, me, brooke, and kyle stayed after our
camp to be counselors for the little kid camp. brooke and i were
supposed to have the 3rd graders--taht is, until i got sick. nurse
stephanie had to take me to the ER in pryor, and we waited 4 hours in
the waiting room--met some cool people though. turns out i have
swimmers ear--in both ears. not fun. the doc gave me some antibios and
stuff, which i immeadaely used, but nothing really helped. let me tell
you, the pain was/ is unbearable. tyllenol+ibpropehn did nothing, and i
couldnt hear anything. so i had to leave camp. adrian came up to take
my spot as a counselor. i was/am sooooo dissapointed i could throw up.
i have been praying and getting excited about counseling. but one thing
that we learned at camp was that God has a plan, and i guess me not
being a couneselor was part of His plan. Maybe He will teach brooke
something that she couldnt learn if i was there. Maybe i am supposed to
be home for something. i dont know...im just glad He knows what he is
doing and not me.
anyways, so i rode home in our chruch van which had brought up the
little campers for this week. i rode home with two older ladies from
our chruch, and whoop-de-do, the van breaks down in the middle of OKC.
we had to wait 2 hours on that nasty hot bus until someone came and got
us. i had a high fever and was getting dehydrated and etc, so i went to
the back and secretly cried myslef to sleep. when i got home, mom and
dad were not home to comfort me. they are in Eastern Okla, picking
blueberries. its their idea of a "date". how cute, no?:) anyways, i had
talked to them eariler and told them that the pain was not better at
all. i havent slept in a couple of nights--i just wandered the halls at
camp, the pain was too great, and i am pretty much deaf. with dad being
a nurse, he sent me back into the ER with gma---turns out i dont just
have swimmers ear--my ears were so badly infected they were/are swollen
shut. dr. lamb said it was very rare to be so bad, and had to improvise
by shoving a nose tampon with medicine on it onto the swollen
parts, and i have to go back in tomorow and the next day, oh man it
hurt so bad.i was realy nervous b/c i had never been do the
docotor...dad ususally takes care of me. dr lamb said i was really
brave though. (<----what am i, a 7 year old?;)) i really dont think
ihave been in such terrible constant pain in my life, my whole neck and
throat and head is swollen from my ears. sorry guys, its hard to not
complain. but ill shut up now...haha. he gave me a bunch of
loratabs and pain meds and antibios and etc. So im here at home,
wanting my bed, but i cant lay down.trevon made me a sock full of rice
to put in the microwave to soothe my aches, he is soo good. mom and dad
get home tomorow night with their blueberries, and then i have to go
back in and get my ear tampon removed and another one put it, ahhhhh!
i dont know why i typed all this. im sorry.
anyways, courtney and trevon are taking over my nannying job until i
get better, aka the girls are coming over here tomorow. ill just stay
in bed with my pain medication. its not like i can hear them anyways.
all i hear is throbbing.
anyways, so im here at home, all dissapointed and stuff, while 3 of
my best friends are at camp counseling. i cant help but ask God
the infamous question "WHY?"...but i do take comfort in knowing that
its all for a reason, sigh.
in other news, i have the best friends ever.
have a super super day!
kate:)
