Eight months ago I wrote my last blog, must have gotten caught up in life (or something). I need to blog more, it's a great way to write your feelings down. A lot happens over the course of eight months... a whole lot. So, here goes....
It's impossible to fill in every little detail, but I'll try my best to hit the high points. School. I'm still at The University of Alabama, and I'm finally a SENIOR! I'm double majoring in Athletic Training and General Health studies, while also minoring in Nutrition. I'm such a nerd, I love school. I love everything about it, I could stay here forever! Being an athletic training student has it's perks, I've had the privilege of working with the university's baseball, and swimming and diving teams. Now I'm currently assigned to Tuscaloosa County High School. I love everything about what I do!
The biggest event of the last eight months came on February 9, 2010 when my dad was admitted to the hospital for a routine knee replacement. We knew that he would need special care considering he is a heart patient but never in a million years did we expect to go through the hardships that came post surgery. To make a long story short my dad's blood pressure got way out of whack and they admitted him to ICU to monitor the situation. While in ICU a nurse gave unprescribed medications to my dad which caused him to basically go in and out of unconsciousness for almost two weeks. Just writing it down doesn't justify how horrible the incident was in reality.

It was brought to my attention the other day that lists are often made when looking for the appropriate person to date/marry. So... the more I thought about it I realized I had a list, tucked safely away in my head, that I'd never really said aloud. Maybe my list isn't always rational, maybe I'm a little over the top and unrealistic about some things, and maybe, just maybe you might say I'm picky. However, I'd rather be picky and find someone I'm happy and content with for the rest of my life than to find a person who isn't right and the relationship ends in divorce or worse than that doesn't end and I must proceed to live a miserable life. A little childish, maybe... but I won't settle for less.
Perfect man, most likely not... perfect for me, most likely yes!
1) Loves the Lord, Jesus Christ, first and foremost.
2) A man who comes into my life to bring in and not always to just take out
3) Will stick with me through thick and thin
4) Share in my joys as well as my pain
5) Has never had a "thing" with either my best friends or one of my family members.
6) Laughs. (often)
7) Smiles. (more often)
8) A man who will politely let down the toilet seat down and better yet is respectful enough to not pee on it if it happens to be down.
9) Cares about his appearance (Just not metro sexual style, ew)
10) Is willing to talk about anything... not just sports
11) But will listen and understand first.
12) Doesn't compare me or my cooking to their momma's (1- I'll never be your momma, & 2- I sure as heck probably won't be able to cook like her)
13) Is man enough to cry.
14) Somewhat athletic (or at least puts in a good effort)
15) Loves me for every stupid thing I say and do... and wouldn't have it any other way.
16) Doesn't have to turn to earthly things to be happy... he just is
17) Doesn't flaunt his money or more likely doesn't complain about not having enough (ends will be met)
18) Understands I'm stubborn and sometimes a pain in the butt, and just because I argue doesn't mean I'm right
19) Figures out a way to tell me I'm wrong...and convince me.
20) Family man
21) A degree in something he's good at (it's not all about the money)
22) Lives a life he is happy with, loving, respecting, caring, and appreciative of everyone and everything God has given him.
This is my list... give or take a few that might be a little naive. Main point here is looks aren't everything, but personality and commitment are everything.
Till next time!

Summer Has Always Been My First Love
One week of summer classes left! Yay!! This is pretty much the greatest thing that has happened all summer! And to top it off, I'm going to the beach the first week in August! Hallelujah, a vacation...finally! I think it's well deserved to. Two A+'s in my two classes I decided to take this summer, I'm very pleased with my hard work!!!
I've actually been really productive all summer! Two classes down, six novels read, moved apartments, and have been really proactive about the upcoming school year at Alabama! I've never in my life been excited about school to start, but this year I'm beyond ready! For one, I'll finally be on my own again... no curfew, no arguing with mom, no feeling like I'm a three years old when I'm actually almost 21. And the most exciting is part is being a baseball trainer this fall! I'm so excited about my clinical experience. What typical person gets to do exactly what she loves for a career???? ME! Ok, yeah I know, most people go to college to be able to follow out their dreams. I'm just over enthused about everything!
Everything is falling in place, that path ...called my future is slowly becoming a lot more clear, when I find that special someone I think everything will be complete! God has earnestly blessed me beyond measure.... and I will forever be grateful!

A Swell Fourth of July!
Yesterday was Independence Day, and we, Americans, celebrated 233 years of being a country. That's a long time! This year's Fourth of July has been even more special and heart warming. It's sad that I have never really thought much about why we celebrate the holiday in the first place, but this year I did, and I've gained so much from it. We use July 4th to say "thank you" to all the men and women who have fought and died to keep our country free and it's so much more bittersweet when you personally know someone who is fighting on the front lines. This year I know three young men and one woman, two of which are my cousins, who have and are currently serving America by fighting in the Middle-East or serving in Korea. I'd like to personally thank Mr. Brad Champion (cousin), Mr. Chuck Reynolds (cousin), Mr. Matt Brannon, and Mrs. Beth Fulmer Miller, who are currently serving in the American Armed Forces. THANK YOU! I pray God keeps all of you safe and brings you home to us soon! MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA, LAND THAT I LOVE, STAND BESIDE HER AND GUIDE HER...
Happy 4th of July!
Happy 4th of July!

Nothing new, nothing interesting.
I spent my evening at the funeral home. It's been a sad day.
Summer school is a waste of time. I'd rather be at the pool or the lake.
Funeral tomorrow, another sad day.
Plans for Wednesday: hopefully things will look up and start to become a little better, a little easier.

Almost Lovers
"Almost Lovers"- A Fine Frenzy
Your fingertips across my skin
The palm trees swaying in the wind
Images
You sang me Spanish lullabies
The sweetest sadness in your eyes
Clever trick
I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
We walked along a crowded street
You took my hand and danced with me
Images
And when you left you kissed my lips
You told me you would never
Ever forget these images
No
I'd never want to see you unhappy
I thought you'd want the same for me
Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
I cannot go to the ocean
I cannot drive the streets at night
I cannot wake up in the morning without you on my mind
So you're gone and I'm haunted
And I'll bet you are just fine
Did I make it that easy to walk right in and out of my life
Goodbye my almost lover
Goodbye my hopeless dream
I'm trying not to think about you
Can't you just let me be
So long my luckless romance
My back is turned on you
I should have known you'd bring me heartache
Almost lovers always do
This song reminds me of my first and only "love" thus far in my life. It's been a long time and I still feel the same as the day it ended. :(

My First "Official" Blog!!!!
This is exciting, my first blog spot!!
Normally, I would not create a page solely for me to pour out my thoughts and emotions. However, I've learned, for me, sometimes the best way to get through or understand situations is to simply right them down. So to all those blog haters, I apologize I'll do my best to make it interesting and less melodramatic.
Well what do I write about today? How do I start this off? Ah, I know. I'll fill you in on who I am and how I came to the decision to make a blog spot!
If you've never met me, my name is Karah. I'm not an extravagant person, even though sometimes I wish to be. I'm just a typical college student with basically no life, no job, and an enormous amount of debt due to my college funds. Seems depressing, but it's not. I'm very optimistic... my college degree will pay those debts off. My greatest debt, however, has already been paid... by the blood of my wonderful Savior, Jesus Christ, on a cross a little over 2000 years ago. If you have a debt that's unpaid... he will gladly take your burden. LET HIM!
This blog came about in a random round about way. I keep a journal and I was like what the heck it's basically the same thing. I've kept a journal for seven years, since I was thirteen, and with technology taking over everything this seems like a good way to keep it going.
Warning to those who read: My life is hectic...weird and dramatic things are always happening. I'm opinionated and no opinion is ment to degrad your own personal opinion, it's just my thoughts. I ask if you feel you won't be able to keep up or be understanding to my thoughts and emotions take this blog spot with a grain of salt....
May God Bless and Keep You All.... Till Next Time!!!
