Braces

Today I got my bottom braces on and it's starting to get painful now. I have had them on for about seven hours. When I first was going to get braces on (I've had them a few years ago but this is "phase 2") I was excited because I wanted to have nice, straight teeth...but now I can't wait until they take them off. I only had braces on my top teeth for a few months but, just today, it was time to get the bottom ones, too.

It's sooo hard to chew and the inside of my lip is sore from the metal rubbing against it (for those of you who have had or have braces...you know what I mean??). Well, it's just really dreadful, but I know it will be worth it in the end, even if my excitement is faded right now from the pain....

We planted a tomato plant outside our house and it has flowers already! I can't wait till some small green tomato's start popping up and then red and then yum! I also planted a few cilantro seeds but they don't grow very easily because I tried it before and they didn't grow very big until bugs got to them. Also, I want to get some flowers to plant inside this little patch we have outside. We don't have any land but I enjoy planting things in this small area outside. Although, little kids often trample through it to the great detriment of the plants and certain little girls outside enjoy plucking flowers occasionally...and, in my opinion, worst of all, turkeys eat up lots of the flowers and, sometimes plants! They annoy me soooo much!

To leave off on a lighter note, I've been working on my story I'm writing a lot lately. I hope to get done with it soon so I can start on the next one I've planned. It's, hopefully, going to have a better plot and better characters!

Loves, Kimberly

I love posting pictures on here. This is of Waipeo Valley when we were down there.

hi
school has been really busy ( I won't begin with this all the time so just assume I'm busy with school) :) . I found some guitar music by Leeland, and i'm having lots of fun playing. I especially like Opposite Way and Let it Out Now. Also Kim, Mike, and I are all involved in an up coming movie directed by two sisters. The movie has a great vision. well that's for now

ugh..

How upsetting! I just wrote a long post and accidentally erased it all with no hope of getting it back! Computers can be so annoying at times...
Well, I guess I'll try to duplicate it.
Usually people make new years resolutions but I don't think I will be making one this year because people never keep them. I actually never have made one because it's always been sorta pointless. The idea of making a resolution in the beginning of the year with the idea lingering in the back of my head that they will probably forget about it in a few months is not something I want to do. Of course, I'm not against them and I don't think people who make them are bad! No! I just don't want to make one right now.
I do have goals, though, and plans that I hope to carry out. One of them is, like Nathan said, to practice guitar more often. We have had lessons for almost a year, but stopped them in October and ever since then we have been extremely lazy about working on something seriously. We do pick up the guitar and strum for a while, but we don't really work on anything new. So that's why we want to practice and keep up note reading and make sure our hands don't get weak.
But, let me tell you, it is very hard for us to even sit down and try to practice, which is why this is a big thing for us! We're like the two magnets with the same poles facing each other...rebelling and trying to push away...haha, that's a funny analogy! But, really, I am very stubborn when it comes to guitar and practicing with Nathan :P
The other day we went to the beach with some friends for almost the whole afternoon and it was really fun! Surprisingly, even though we live in Hawaii and have beautiful beaches within our reach, we don't go as often as we ought to. But we did have a lot of fun, although, the waves on the right side of the beach were really huge! I can swim alright, but I do NOT enjoy swimming with gigantic waves coming in with full force against me with the power to smash me into the sand! Not my thing, but thanks....So we went off to the left side where it was calmer.
We all got a few cuts and bruises from the rocks and stuff (some funny stories with them) but overall it was fun and I slept well that night from exhaustion---that shows how unfit I am!
Well, we might play tennis today so I'd better be off. God is so good.
