| Hey, readers! Well, I am sitting here in my room on my couch with my roommates watching VH1. I know. Crazy. I nevere watch VH1. Neither am I usually in the room with all of my roommates. But here I am. And I thought it might be a good time to give you all a quick update of my life. School is going ok. Actually, it has been really stressing me out this semester so far. It has been a real test for me to realize that God can take care of even the homework that I feel like I have no time to do. All the reading, all the papers, all the memorizing speeches and plays- He can even help me with that. It's kind of a crazy idea to me- but great. Wedding stuff has been coming along. That is something that just seems to keep plodding along without me even fully realizing it. I'm at the point where I don't really know what else to do for now. I mean, there is stuff to do, but it is just small stuff that I don't really think too much about. It was Brian's birthday last Wednesday, so on Sunday I took him fishing. It was so much fun! The last really nice day of the year, and we went to Grove Lake and he caught 3 little fishies, and I caught 1. It was a good feeling. I named some of them "Little Blue" because they were little Bluegails. And then we let them go. We played in the championship intramural flag football game on Tuesday.... and we won! Champions again! But during the game Quinn and I ran into each other very hard. My knee hit her shin. I don't think I know how to exactly put into words the extreme intensity with which we hit each other, but let's just say that I never hurt so bad. Even with all the times I have played rugby, I have never hurt so much. I'll be ok. Do not worry, dear readers. I will be ok. Well, I think that's all I have to write about for now. Thanks for reading! | | |
| Wow. This is weird. It has been FOREVER since I have used Xanga. Whoops. I really let you all down there. Especially Brian. He was just getting a Xanga life and I stopped posting for a long time. My excuse? Internet at home is slow, and I didn't want to mess with it. Pretty lame, but at least it's an excuse.
Well, I went to Maine for a month this summer. It was a blast. I learned a lot about God and how I can be a more forgiving, loving, Christ-like person. Does it work all the time? No. But I'm working on it. I did get to see the ocean and swim in it. And I got to go sea kayaking and rock climbing and mountain biking and hiking. I loved rock climbing. Nebraksa needs to get a mountain... or two.
I also helped my parents frame our future house. Actually, it won't be my future house. Because I will have my own house before they move in there. But I will still go there to see them a lot. It is really cool and pretty.
I'm working on wedding stuff. It is crazy how much there is to do. But at least it is getting there. And it is getting closer. Yay! Not only does that mean that I will get to be with Brian forever, but it also means that I won't have to plan wedding stuff anymore. Yay!
School has started back up again. Whoa, I have more hours than I thought I would. Janet Gilligan gives WAY too much homework, as always. I work at the campus library again, and I work for Brian at KPNO. Crazy. I'm still not sure how I feel about that. Sometimes it is awesome, and other times not so much. But it's ok for now.
Well, I think I have mainly caught us all up-to-date on what has been happening in my life. I wonder if anyone is even still involved in the stories of Xanga, or if I have posted this for no one to read. Whatever the case, I feel good to have done my Xanga duty once more. I hope my dear readers are having a spectacular week. In Him,
Kirbi

| Hello, readers! I'm sorry to have let you all down by waiting so long to re-post, but it sure has been a busy end-of-the-school-year. I had tests to study for, units to rewrite, work to go to, packing to do, etc. I know, I know- it's no excuse. And now I am at home with nothing else to do as I sit in my room alone while mom and dad are sleeping. Nothing to do. All alone. I'll type on xanga.
I came home Sunday afternoon and was put straight to work. I had to unload/unpack all of my stuff, then mom and dad had a bunch of stuff for me to do yesterday and today. And tomorrow, I'm sure. But hey, that's what they pay me for, eh? See, my parents build rustic furniture to sell at art shows, and this is their busy season. So they are glad to have my help. Plus, they want to start building our new house up at the lake (that's Lewis and Clark Lake, dear friends) soon. Next week probably. How cool!
I have raised about half of my support for summer project so far. It's great to have some of that burden lifted, but I'm still waiting for God to come through with the other half. I know He will.
I guess I don't know what else to say. I would put a really cool picture here for you all to look at, but internet at home is really slow. I don't feel like waiting for that to load. It took long enough for me to tell the computer that I have Meatloaf stuck in my head. So just have a great summer beginning. Keep me posted! | | |
| So I was kind of hoping more people would comment before I posted again... but that is a lost cause. So I will post again anyway because I like to keep you up to date. At least all of you that actually haven't deserted xanga.
I thought I would add some really cool pictures here since I always respond better to pictures in a xanga post.
That's a really hearty laugh they all are having, eh?
That was the turtle Halie, Brian, Chris and I found one day on a Grove Lake stroll. Sabastian the turtle... I miss you... I guess...
Kyle Molt always has been, and always will be, MVP.
That's right, Scrunt. We are number one. P.S. Thanks for taking me to my only Nebraska game ever.
Quinn and Jesse dancing in a barn... I like these people, so that is why they are in my post. P.S. Jesse, thanks for being so excited about Brian's new job.
My mom and dad. They are so cool that they won "Best in Show" for their booth at River Boat Days.
This was my family for a week during the play. Grandma and Grandpa George, Grandma and Grandpa Joe, Me and Mr. Bucket, and Charlie.
The Gladiators. The coolest group in the Fall '05 Katrina Relief crew. Ice, Tool, Diamond, Achilles, and Lace.
Some of my favorite friends in the whole world. (Quinn is taking the picture.) P.S. I miss you Jenk!
At Matt and Jessie's wedding. That was cool.
And, of course, my wonderful fiance and me. P.S. I like you a lot Brian. | | |
| Hello, dear friends.
It is Friday. Hurray! The past week has been just one huge blur of kids and homework and Willy Wonka and early mornings and make-up and crazy theatre people. The children's show was way fun... way time consuming, but way fun. It was so weird today to get back into the old routine and go to class and work. But it was so fun to get to know that whole different group of people. I have noticed something new about myself: I love meeting new people. I always thought I hated meeting new groups of people (like in rugby or theatre) because I felt out of place and slightly afraid to be completely myself until I got to know the people better. But I have decided that I love getting to know those people, even if it is a little awkward at first.
The formal last night was awesome. So much fun. I like that kind of dance better than barn dances, I think, because it is so free. Barn dances usually restrict you to only swing dancing, while the formal is always so open to all dancing. Anyway, it was really fun. In Ross's words- Boo yah.
I love this weather.
Question: I feel guilty whenever I don't completely let go of my selfishness and give everything I can to help other people. Like when Halie wants to take my computer or a friend needs to borrow some money even though I can't afford to give it to them or people come to my room and want food or drink or someone wants to talk to me when all I want is to go to bed or go talk to a different friend or when my little kindergarteners want another gummy bear. Is that a good thing, or is it dangerous to let people always have thier way? Not that I'm trying to sound all righteous or anything, like "I am so selfless" because I'm not. But I just worry that sometimes I give up on my own wants/needs too quickly and fail to stand up for myself. Comments?
Well, I need to go talk to a teacher, etc. before I go eat dinner. I have a date! A date with the lovely Quinn. | | |
