I'm sorry about state, but pride did cross my mind when you talked about it... But being served a piece of humble pie is a necessity. At least God gives it to us with love in his eyes.
Prom WAS fun. :] I'm glad that I went.
Love!
 

I miss you!

I am glad you have accepted your humble pie.

Kari will be at my house this weekend maybe we should run into each other.




anything i can be praying for you. Are you excited about summer and then SAU in the fall?
 

What did you compete in at State, Kelly? And, tell Nerissa good luck at Nationals, whatever she's competing for there. Where was State? Where is Nationals? I'm glad you had fun at prom, Kelly! Did you go with the girls, or did you have a date? I haven't checked your pictures yet on your profile, but did you post new pictures of prom? I'll have a look-see, and check here in a minute. So, I read in Benjamin's comment that you're going to Spring Arbor University in the fall! What's your major? I graduated from SAU in Family Life Education with a BA coming up on 5 years ago, but I use my Associate's degree in physical therapy from Kellogg Community College in my work, until I either find something I am qualified in using my bachelor's from Spring Arbor at my present company, because I've been here 16 years, and have great job security and benefits, and am at the top of my salary scale, so I can't risk leaving here being a single mother of 5 children, so I just stay. When all my children graduate from high school, and I can leave state, where there are lots of jobs on my BA I see on the internet, and I can risk leaving my present job and lose the possibility of good benefits, then I can leave, and try for another job on my BA from SAU. The kids need my benefits, and I have bills, so I can't afford to leave my present job where I have job security and am on the top of my payscale, even though it's only on an Associate's. It's complicated, but I've thought about it a lot, and being on my own, and not having someone to "watch my back financially" so-to-speak, because I don't have a spouse, I have to stay working where I am. I enjoyed my time at Spring Arbor, and you will too. I was an adult, so I attended an adult accelerated program that was one night a week for 18-months for 4 hours, and I took a Saturday class, but I worked full-time, which was hard. Hopefully, you can just enjoy going to college there-- you'll like it-- it's a Christian college-- Free Methodist-- they have a very pretty campus, and a big church that's very pretty. That's where we had our graduation 5 years ago in May ('03 when I graduated from there). Best wishes, Kelly! Keep in touch if you can when you go there, okay?! Be good! Give Nerissa a hug for me, and I hope she's doing well! Did she go to prom, too?! Bye! Sincerely, Lana :) XOXOXOXOXOOXOXOXOOXOXOXOXXOOXOXOXOOXOOXOOXOXOXOOXOXOXOOXOXOXOOX
 

Wow, Kelly...such a mature understanding of this situation in particular and life in general. I would have to say it is hard for me to acknowledge my own pride and the downfall with which it is associated. For you to post this is really eye-opening for me.

:D
