Sometimes I feel like I rock. :)

So, I got the job! :) It was a really really really good day the other day! I got my job, and to top it off I have been really owning on the field, court.. etc. I play a lot of random sports and well lets just say I've been killer at them! Which is funny because normally i'm super uncoordinated. Looks like maturity finally caught up with me. We played dodgeball at church the other night. It was AWESOME! I totally took on 5 guys and got them down to one! lol People were chanting my name! It made me so happy. I loved it!

Today we played football. It was light tackle football. Basically if you stopped the forward motion of the other player they were tackled. It was awesome. I got to run the ball soooo much. AND it was in a really wet field. I'm talking LOTS of mud! I got really muddy. I'm only 5'2 and this chick Chelsea is 6 foot. She totally close-lined me and knocked my butt in the mud. It rocked! We were playing hardcore and in the heat of the moment I kinda leveled this chick... she caught the ball and i was already on my way to get her and instinct took over and BAM. I smoked her. She fell pretty hard and may have got a minor concussion... she cried for like... a long time. I felt really bad. BUT, in a really wrong sort of way, i was really proud of my hit. Everyone watching was like, that was amazing, but we feel bad she got hurt... lol Whoops.

Tonight I stayed home, I love being anti social sometimes. I watched Balto! :) It rocked my socks. I cried during it. I'm not too stubborn to admit it. ;)

Back in the Swing of Things!

Hey there I'm back! I haven't written in here for nearly a year! I guess I just loooove blogging THAT much....

This summer was wonderful! I had a lot of fun and worked my behind off! It was awesome because I made new friends and and got to spend time with old ones and my family! I'm back in the big and exciting, yet frustrating, state of Texas and today's the day before my big interview... I'm way nervous... I wrote a song about it. ;)
Tomorrow I have
a job interview
I sure hope it goes swell!
I'm shaking and scared
this interview makes me as nervous as h.....
I NEED THIS JOB
SO WISH ME GOOD LUCK!!!
If I don't get it

SCREWED!!
Soooooo please oh please....
Pray I get it sooooooon!

Neat huh? It might not make sense to you but in my head, it goes wonderful... I'd been applying to countless amount of different jobs since I got here and it's been a struggle.. I applied at a daycare Monday and, low and behold, they actually called me in for an interview! I am sooo excited and I can't even wait! I'm nervous because this is the ONLY interview I've managed to get and if I don't get the job well.... I think I might just explode. Yep, that's exactly what's going to happen. So wish me good luck, and say a little prayer!
Take care everyone,

StakeN'Shake, plays, and dances!

Tonight was a great night. I met up with some friends and went to my friend drew's little sister's play that she was in and it wa great! Poor drew, or maybe not so poor, was the only guy there with 7 girls!! :) he's just that much of a stud i suppose! Well after that we went to a church singles dance and well i got to tell you that even though it's not soo bad it's still scary when some odd guy comes up to you and the first thing he says is: i just got off my mission.. and you believe the poor guy because he can barely talk to you!! can we say AWKWARD?? Anyways that was a pretty good high point of the night! haha not... Well we blew the dance early and went to none other than my new favorite resturant The StakeN'Shake! it's a wonderful place! Go there! We hung out there for about 2 1/2 hours and it was nice! Just talking and having a good time with good clean people in a good atmosphere. It really brings back some great memories from home. I'm starting to feel homesick, especially with the oncoming thanksgiving.. i don't get to go back to nebraska with my family for it so this years going to be tough... :( But yeah things are both looking up and looking bleak but i'm trying my best here and to make it a positive experience whether i do well here or not! in the mean time take it easy all,

How I came to the lone star state!

Okay.. so basically I'm writing out a vent. I moved to Texas about 4 months ago and well even though I've basically enjoyed a free ride I guess I don't know that I want this free ride at all. I'm only 18 years old at this time and I just don't think I can handle all this stress with the little experience that I have in this world.
Here's how I got here...

I was born in austin Texas feb 18th 1990. I'm like half mexican I believe and also adopted and because of that the good old state of texas has given my a grant for free tuition anywhere in the state for college. Now I believe that is a wonderful blessing but you see a lot of things change from the time someone is born and to the time the are old enough for college.
I through some amazing shot of luck ended up in Nebraska. I love it! Wide open spaces, golden cornfields, my family, my friends, my pets...my life...
Well as time goes by and I become older I start creating this life for myself there. I mean I'm establishing myself through where I live. And it's all grand and dandy! Then I'm at that point where I have to start thinking about college.... I didn't want to go to texas! As far as I was concerned I was going to Nebraska Lincoln and NO ONE was going to stop me! Too bad my parents wouldn't pay for it and I never got around to applying there.. In my heart I knew I had to go to texas and I was doing it for my parents.
Well I ended up here and at first it was all hard and I hated it and I was completely lonely and everything just plain sucked, but now I'm starting to deal. I've made wonderful friends and have been going to church here and it's not as bad as it was. Everything is begining to make sense and I'm actually doing well in school! Minus a hybrid english class that I can't seem to keep up with.. ;)

So as you can see things have been taking a strang turn for me. I'm not sure but I believe God has decided to do something special for me. I know that Texas isn't my will but then again it's never been about my 'will', it's about His and for now on i'm going to let him guide me and show me where to go. Take it easy,

First Post

I just wanted to put a post on here to see how this is going to work.

To start I'm katie, obviously, and this is of me and what's going on with me as I start college and continue through my life. I've got some crazy stuff that happens to me and I'm excited to share my thoughts, feeling, and experiences with you all! In the meantime, take it easy!
