Vowels minus O

To fill you in on recent happenings I thought I would use the vowels of the English alphabet.

A is for Arizona. I went to Arizona over spring break. It was fun, hilarious, heartbreaking, exciting, reality checking (I am making that a verb for this. I can do that if I want to.), and wonderful. I am in the middle of writing a blog about it. Hopefully I can post it soon.

E is for exercise. Black yoga pants + black fleece + black oversized sunglasses + Flirt Alert nail polish= me getting aerobic exercise. I think it must be a hilarious and stereotypical sight to see. I have been walking instead of running lately. It is less painful on the hips and knees. I am not sure why that is really, because you take the same amount of steps either way. But maybe the speed has something to do with it. My goal is to work up my muscles around my joints so I can be running again by summer. That’s a good goal, right?

I is for Iron Man. I went to an event last night called Afterdark. The owner of Kanukuk camps, Joe White, travels to college campuses with Braddigan and presents the gospel in a unique way. It is an event that all the campus ministries hosted together. I hope that many lives were touched through last night and that it will affect our campus. During his presentation he showed a media clip of the dad who competed in the Iron Man Triathlon pushing his son that has cerebral palsy. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rPLCaAu_H2U&feature=related if you would like to see it. I have seen it about 5 times and cry every time. Such a beautiful picture of what Christ does for me (us).

O is for, well i don't have anything for O. But my parents and I traveled to Louisville, Kentucky last weekend to visit good friends who were in a car accident over spring break. It was awful circumstances for sure, but God is making all things new. Hannah, who is in sixth grade, and I went to see Horton Hears a Who on Friday to pass some time and get out of the hospital. It was really cute. But what was even cuter was watching Hannah text everyone she knew in my phone book. “Kayla, can I text Aubrey?” “Sure, what are you going to say?” “Hey.” And literally she would text: Hey. from Hannah. Haha, I am sure a ton of people had no idea what was going on. We also entertained ourselves for a while with sticky tack as you can see from the picture. And one other thing, that girl can eat bagels like no one else…oh my word!

U is for Ultimate. I played my first game of Ultimate Frisbee on Monday. I never touched the Frisbee but Christy told me a did fab job of marking the girl. To share some of my new Frisbee knowledge with you, marking equals defending. We play again next Monday and maybe I will touch the Frisbee then.

I would like to leave you with a quote from Joe White: “Girls, it is your job to be spoiled.”

Dear Kayla- I enjoyed the creative use of the alphabet. I hate to tell you this....but you are missing a few of the letters. For example, you're missing, "R." This could be used to discuss your rad, radiant, roving roommate Rachel. Just a suggestion for the second edition.
