searching

I am driving myself caaa-razyyyy!! I've been on here for the past 2 hours SEARCHING for a bible college. I didnt think it would be this difficult! I gave myself till about September to move out,So im looking for colleges with on-campus living,unless something important would be asked to me within that time frame,then i would have to re-consider ;] .. ahhh! I know i dont HAVE to go to a bible college to get my education but i really,really want to. I found a nice one in Massachusetts! So im considering it!! I just gotta stop tryin to plan my future and just follow where ever god leads me.

All i have to say is....

IN DA DOEEEEE

So a little updatee

 I got a car about 2 weeks ago! [: finallyy!!

 I had to get a new cell phone,due to the fact that i am driving around now.

 Life in Virginia Beach is going well.

 I start school in 2 days!!!!

 Tony and I are doing amazing. 

 I wont have a life come January 14th!! 

 oh joyyy [: !

 GOD BLESS!

Las Vegas

Come January,Our lead Pastor at Forefront will be moving to Las Vegas to start up a church on the strip. Yes,i know a lot of you are probably thinking this is completely crazy but after a lot of time and prayer,they feel as if this is something God is telling them to Do. Theres about 30 families going with them already and it looks like they may have a better outcome then what they anticipated. Recently,Tony and I have been feeling as if God wants us to do something bigger in our lives. We love being here but we dont feel like this is where we should be sometimes. So,We are both highly considering the thought of moving to Las Vegas with them and helping them form a new church. So for anyone who reads this,please pray for us and that we recieve an answer from God soon. THANKS!!!

Christmas is coming!!!!!!! [:

It's November 18th and i'm gladly jammin'[?] to so some christmas music. (Relient K-Have yourself a Merry Christmas to be exact ;]) Ok,Ok so maybee i've actually been listening to Christmas Music since like August!! hehe i lurve it [:

So the Lord is doing some AMAZING things in Both Tony and I's life. This Past Sunday,We both got baptized. There was about 6 of us. Since Forefront does not have there own buiding,we typically meet up at the local High School's Auditorium but for baptism services we try to find a church that is open and willing to let us use their building for the night. We were not able to find a place this particular sunday. SOO!!! HEYY!! theres a guy with a really nice jacuzzi in the back of his house!! Yes,we all got baptized in a Jacuzzi in the back yard of a guys house. A lot of people are probably automatically judging that but honestly,it should not matter where or when it happens. Whats important is what it represents. So Stop judging the situation. Everyone who was being baptized had to meet in a little circle while they told us the "instructions",pretty much,what was going to happen. Then the part came where he told us to go up,tell everyone our name and why we were getting Baptized. FREAK TIME FOR KAYLA!!!! As most of you know,i am not the kind of person to get up in front of people that i barely know and actually speak! So i was a tid bit nervous. We got to choose who we waned to baptize us. Tony and i chose my brother,Kevin. DUH!!!!! We were the last ones up. To be specific, I was the last one up. I prayed the ENTIRE time before i went up there. I knew what i wanted to say,i just didnt want to say it to all these people. There was a lot of people!!!!! So Tony went up and i he spoke,then he took the plunge! I was teary eyed until he came from under the water and i realized he was wearing a WHITE SHIRT!! haha,so that was a nice laugh [: So I walk up there,almost fall getting into the jacuzzi ;] ahurr .. and everyone starts screaming SUNGLASSES!!!! Apparently i had sunglasses on my head. ooppss .. So everyone gets quiet and i'm like "ahhh!" (in my head) I started speaking and the only thing i really remember is saying my name. I cant remember the rest. So i took the plunge and as my brother lifted me back up,all i could hear was people clapping like crazy. It felt good. I jumped out ang Hugged my brother very tightly for about 10 seconds. It was AWESOMEE!!! .. It was so cold that night that steam was coming off everyone's body like we were just on fire. Haha. So everyone ran up to us,hugged us,and said congratulations. [: After the service we(Me,Tony,and our gel group) proceeded back to Katy's house for some football and Taco's [:

I am no longer living life on my own. I Am living it with God BUT most importantly,FOR GOD. I couldnt be happier!!!

I've realized recently that out of all the friends i had in Maryland,i only really speak to Caity,Nicole,Bryan and Nick(occasionally). I've tryed talking to everyone else but its like they've all just moved on because i moved. I'm sorry but just because someone moves away,it doesnt mean that the friendship is over.Then i started thinking that maybe they were just not true friends in the first place? I dont know. It was really hard for me to face. I have only been here about a month now and it happened so quickly. I miss them,i do but losing people is a part of life. I'm dealing with it. I'm Thankful for all the friends i have left though ;] i love you guyss!!! hehe. Tony and i have become really close with our gel group,and ive become closer with people at work. So in the end. Its all gooooood!!! [:

till next timee!

ohohoh its magiccc

So its 8AM. and i have work at 12:30. Typically,Back in the bury,i would have slept in till about,i dont know,like 11:30 or 12? Ha ha. So i guess you can say that there is in fact some PLUS' to living here [: .. I think that the whole time i've been here,i've probably slept in until 10? .. yay! it really does make you feel better throughout the day. Anyway-Everything is going really good. I mean, there are bad days of course but we all have e/o at the end of the day. At times we have "meetings" where the four us will sit down and talk about issues we're having either with e/o or in life. It really helps. The new Home Depot i'm at is different. I do not enjoy it. They are very anal about stupid things and its a low volume store. NOT FUNNN!!! :( .. So im looking for another job. and another one. Yes,TWO jobs. It was my choice. My brother put me on a budget,and it looks like i wont be seeing much money for a while. But i dont really NEED anything here. The only thing is Tony and i would like to have at least one night a week where he and i go out and spend time together. This past week,he worked SEVEN days straight and still has to work this week. He gets up everyday around 5 and doesnt get off of work till 3:30. Poor thinggg :( Tomorrow is Election Day. I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to vote but cant,since i had not picked up a absentee ballad. argh. OHHHHH tony and i started going to a GEL GROUP last night. For you who dont know what that is,its pretty much a group of people that get together and play games and do a study within the bible. It was fun but something tony and i kinda have to work on getting comfortable with. lol Well,this was kinda just a random update. Haha. So everything is going well,and im sure it will continue this way. [:

A new chapter

I really dont know where to begin with this blog. About 4 days ago the tears started coming, yes, because of how much im going to miss my friends but mostly because i was scared. I was really questioning myself on if i really wanted to move or not. I never doubted a move so much in my life. I wondered if i was doing the right thing. I prayed and prayed about it all day everyday and it felt as if my heart,NOT MY HEAD,was telling me it was the wrong thing to do. I was about to face a HUGE life change. I am so use to doing what i want to do,when i want to do it. Now it's all completely different. I have to live on a TIGHT budget,Obey my brothers rules,i cant necessarily go out and do what i want whenever i want,my life will pretty much be school and work. So i thought to myself,WHY?,why go backwards again? I felt so torn. Then the other night i talked to my brother,i told him all my doubts and how my relationship with God was slipping,and how i felt like such a failure to be doing this again. AMAZINGLY,he said all the things i needed to hear,and informed me that he loved me and cared for me and wouldnt be doing this if he didnt think i could and that,yes,it will be tough but i am doing the right thing. Living on my own in Maryland was actually making me go backwards in life because i was living paycheck to paycheck and wasnt goin to school. I was just doing the same thing everyday,not necessarily moving forward at all. So yes,i know this is going to be something that i have to really fight through and its going to be tough but i do,IN FACT,have God on my side,My Family and Boyfriend here supporting me every step of the way. I'm ready to do whatever i have to,to have a better,more stable life and a growing relationship with God.
Yesterday, I helped Caitlin,Nicole and Bryan move into their new place and WOW,that was tiring. [: haha It is a gorgeous place though and i am so very happy for them!! After moving everything we could get for the day,Caitlin and i went over to her mom's house and said goodbye. Then we headed back to the apartment and packed everything we could fit into her car. When it came to the last thing in my room,i did a very typical thing people usually do in movies or on TV. I stood in the middle of my room,and looked around,remembering all the moments i have had in that room. Some happy,some sad,and even some life changing moments. I stood there for a couple minutes,picked up my las box,and walked out. I drove most of the way there,which really wasnt that bad,just tiring. We arrived here,in VA Beach,Around 10:30,unpacked the car,hung out for a little bit,then Caity left. As i layed there going to sleep,i thought to myself,"HERE WE GO!" .. I'm soo ready.

The People that i had met while living in Maryland are people that i will NEVER forget in my entire lifetime. I've made some amazing friends,but i've also lost a few,one in particular that at times,i forget how close i actually was to that friend. This move made the fact of losing that friend,hit me even harder than ever before and i wish that in some way,we could still be close,But some people aren't meant to be in your life sometimes i guess. Maryland was definetly an experience in life that has made me learn a lot. There were good times,and there were bad times,But the good times have always,and will always,outweigh the bad. Nicole,Patrick,Bryan,Rachel,Nick,Bethany,CJ and Danielle have each made my life so beautiful at one time or another and i'm so thankful that i met these people,Even if we talk all the time or not at all,they will forever be in my hearts.

welcome back,welcome backkkk ahurrr

I'm Back!!! haha .. we completely lost our internet on the computer so i havent been able to update for weeks lol .. thank god i have a awesome room mate [:



Well a lot has happened ...



On Monday August 13,i got a horrible phone call from Tony informing me that my pappy passed away :'( ... We have all been expecting this day to come soon but it was still a shock. I just wish i had seen him one last time. My mother was able to see him sunday though, he had got into a car accident and she had a bad feeling. His passing had nothing to do with th accident though .. The funeral was today and i had everything set and ready to leave last night on a 4 hour bus trip but my father and brother both refused to pick me up from the bus station. So sad. :/ .. I miss my pappy,and i will never ever ever forget him ... <3



On a lighter note,

I finally got my license yesterday :] haha .. i spent the night before my test practicing with Rachel and Adam for 4 HOURS!!! haha Okay,so maybe we weren't practicing the entire time. Haha but it was fun .. Anyway,i went to the MVA completely FREAKING out but that god i have some amazing friends,oh& boyfriend who helped me keep my faith highhhhh [:



I'm moving in exactly ONE week .. I almost started crying this morning at work while nick and i were opening garden. I'm gonna miss these people more than anything. Its gonna be soooo much harder than i thought.
It turns out i have to rent a truck to bring all my crap down and I HAVE to drive it!!! oh joyous day.. [: i hope tony can maybe come up if he doesnt have work and HE can drive the truck and i'll drive his car ^_^ .. Tony's already got a job down in Va. He actually got it the day after he dropped me off at home. PRAISE GOD!! now he just has to find a place to live!!! [: hahaha
