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!

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!!!

Karah Beth
