Maybe if you want you could look me up and when I get my pics online you can see where i went yesterday! Curious? LOL It's just some beach photos of a sunset over the lake, and sand dunes. Beautiful, i think. I will be putting my picture on there soon too. Have to buy a phone cable first... i have been trying to get one for weeks. So am excited about finding one today - i am cord hunting with my youngest daughter, Rachel. She is amazing. Outlasted me on the hike! Such a cutie too. I'll get her pics on there and you can see that i am not biased as her mother :) Gotta run! Have a nice day in Oregon? Where are you at now? Hard to keep track of ya girl! Just knowing you are in God's grace is enough for me! (Great song with those words, by the way. Do you know it? by Matt Redman)

At 1:13am on July 13, 2009, K said…: Me again. Sorry about the boyfriend. Truly. Life hurts. Africa cheers me up. Saw a video at church, and it ended with a t-shirt, "Africa needs me but i also need Africa" because the author wanted people to realize how much it impacted her to visit the suffering and see such happiness there - i.e. money can't buy happiness. True. They are happy, yet impoverished. Amazing. Said we could have that too, even in affluence. interesting point. Then they asked for money. Anyway, how is work going? Do you like what you do? After college, i took a job as a nanny just to get some money coming in, and get out on my own... spent 4 months job searching while living with my parents, and that was getting old! Or i was... anyway, it worked out wierd because i got fired (long story), hired on the spot at an interview days later with an automotive franchise headquarters (bosses were Jewish, adored me!) and the rest is history! Should i send you my resume? Just trying to encourage you that if you are not doing what you feel called to do, it's ok. It's a phase. A stepping stone. Ouch. That's what somebody called me, once. They meant it in a nice way, like i had helped them bridge some gap in their life, and now they are moving on... i wasn't ready to move on... ouch. Gotta go, luv ya. Have a blessed day!

At 1:27pm on July 11, 2009, K said…: With all your friends, doesn't anybody write to you girl? You are so cool! Ah well, I guess you keep busy with all your groups and they talk with you there. God bless you :) You are a blessing to me!

At 1:25pm on July 11, 2009, K said…: Oh Kristen, i am so sorry. Was just humming the words to the song "Yesterday" "love was such an easy game we played... i said something wrong, now i long for yesterday..." it's old, even for me and I'm way older than you, but not too old to remember the hurts of ended relationships. God be with you as you cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you.
Well, i have 4 of my adorable children with me. Hubby and my oldest are still in Kansas, about to embark on their own journey to Washington DC where Rebecca is spending the rest of summer with her aunt and uncle. She should have a great time seeing the sights, and just having some peace and quiet.
Oregon, eh? I recall ending up in New Jersey one day with a job as nanny to 3 girls, whose mother stayed home and made me her slave. Not too cool. Had to quit after 3 months, but got hired on the spot at an interview for a receptionist job, then promoted to office manager, so i came out smelling like a rose! God is so good! Stayed there a while, then moved back home to Michigan. Then met my husband :) That was 11 years ago... still married. Amazing. Hard work. He put up with so much! I did too i guess. But here we are. Enjoying a week away from each other !!! LOL Just kidding. He texts me every day how much he misses me.

At 3:22pm on July 6, 2009, K said…: How is the job search going? R U still unpacking? still miss cali? I was born there. Been wanting to visit Malibu for some reason lately. Wierd. How's your relationship going with Mr. wonderful? Is his head out of the clouds yet? I think it's important to see things clearly, but it kind of goes in phases... like sometimes you just feel that romantic awe, and it wears off and you see his dirty undies and go eewe. But it's a package deal. You take the good and the bad, and there you have, relationships. That's one thing that tv has shown me over the years. It's like this window in to someone else's life, a view we cannot get in real life (except for reality tv LOL). There is no such thing as a perfect relationship. Have you heard the new song on KLOVE radio called "Perfect People" by Natalie Grant? Awesome lyrics! "There's no such thing as perfect people. No such thing as a perfect life. So come as you are, broken and scarred... to a perfect God". Anyway, just wanted you to know I am still here, still praying for you, and still staying with my family. We are going to Michigan this week for summer camp with my parents!!! They are so excited. Hope all is well with you!

Your Friend, Kristen

At 6:18pm on June 15, 2009, K said…: head in the clouds stage is fun, definitely, but crazy! It is nice when things settle down I think. Adventure. Great to hear I am not the only one! I have moved about every 2 years of my life until the past 6 years I have been here. I am itching to move! Love meeting new people, and KIT with old friends who move away. Going to get back on Facebook and see what's happening there. Been away about a year. Some people are getting worried! Will pray for your bf to be a trooper and hang in there with you through this time. I fell in love at age 19 and it lasted 4 years, then i graduated college, and had to make a decision. I actually wish we would have stayed together, now. But who can tell? I did what I thought God said. Not so sure now. I was a new christian at the time. Anyway, thanks for writing back. God be with you as you unpack :)

At 1:17pm on May 31, 2009, K said…: Oh, I guess you are already on my friend list, and i didn't even realize it! Duh. Sorry. Pretty bad to forget someone is your friend eh? Guess I need to go online more often! LOL Sorry i forgot. I'll remember now. How do you make an embarassed faced smiley? :0

At 1:17pm on December 14, 2008, K said…: Hi Kristen,

My name's Kristen too, but I just go by K cuz it's shorter. You are a friend to smileyJ and I read your page here and left a confession below, so thought I might introduce myself in case you wondered who I was :)

I enjoy photography, have way too many pictures! But they are mostly of my kids, so it's ok. I've been to the Phillippines on a mission trip. It was wonderful. The people are so soft-spoken, they don't even yell at their dogs. That amazes me. I'd like to be more like that... slow to anger. The more time we spend in prayer and in communion with God, the more like Him we become. So that is my goal in life... being like Jesus. WWJD is my motto I guess. Though just knowing what He would do doesn't mean I am capable of doing it! Through Christ I can do all things... He has given us everything we need pertaining to life and godliness in this life and the life to come (Phil 4:19?) Well, better run. I'm on the library computer. Hope you are having a blessed day! Sincerely, K

You asked me what Paris is like....and it is a fascinating city, with a lot
of beautiful, aesthetic landmarks to photograph. :)
