Shots, Beautiful Weather, 5K, Henna Tattoo & A Yellow Jacket!
Yesterday we got out of school early to go get shots. Me, Luke & dad had to get 1 while mom got none. Now for those of you who don't know, which I'm sure a lot of you don't know, but Luke HATES shots. He just about passes out when he gets them. So to see him getting ready to go into the room was really funny. He did good though. We have to go back 2 more times, so be praying for Luke! hehe.
Today is soo Beautiful! it's so crazy to think it's a November day. This morning while mom, dad & Luke went to a hair cutting class I went & ran a 5K. Aww. I felt soo good after running it! Me, Gracie Lynn & Jon were running partners! At the end we held hands and crossed the finish line together. it took us about 37 minutes to run it all. After that I took a shower then went & hung out with friends until lunch.
When I went to the Indian Market I bought some Henna for me & Trinity to use this weekend. Well after lunch we headed over to my quad to get it so my mom could put the designs on it. Well Trinity wanted me to go first just to make sure it worked & just in case my mom messed up it would be on me not her! hehe. Now for the Henna to stain your skin you gotta keep it on there for an hour before wiping it off. Me & Trinity decided to go to the library to check our e-mail. We were there for a while then headed over to the Global Center to hang out & stare at each other & thumb wrestle. We walked in & started to walk around when all of a sudden.. Now sometimes I can't tell when Trinity is joking with me or not so it is sometimes hard for me to believe her when she says silly things like what you're getting ready to read...
...Trinity says "Oh my goodness Kb!!" I was like "what?" She said "There's a yellow jacket on your head!!" "No there's not!" "YES THERE IS!!" So I shook my head. Then she's like "It's on your bum!" I looked but didn't see anything so I thought she was just kidding. Then THATS when I felt it & Trinity said "It's on your leg now!" I looked and there it was. crawling from the back side of my leg to the front of my leg!! I just stood there, even though I wanted to freak out. I waited until it got more on the front side of my leg & I told Trinity to give me her shoe. She took it off and threw it at me. Then I *SMACKED* the yellow jacket off my leg across the room somewhere. After it was off of me I started to freak out! Haha! it was really funny!

Self Defense Class---- International Markets anyone?!
Alrighty so last night I started taking a self defence class which is every Tuesday night. It was fun & we didn't really learn a lot yet, but we have 5 more weeks of if. Our teacher was soo funny! I love that guy. At some times it was hard to understand what he was saying, but eventually you caught on! hehe. We learned 5 different moves.
Today the youth class went on a field trip to some International Markets! It was really fun. First we went to a European & when you walked in it smelt really good! there were many different things to choose from. Lots of candy too! Well when we got there Mrs. Deborah realized she forgot her money so she sent Chris back to the school to get it. But the school was 15-20 minutes away, which meant he would be back for 30-40 minutes. Well when Mrs. D was ready to pay she brought the stuff up to the counter & started talking to the lady. Then she told her she didn't have her money with her but would leave the stuff & come back, because we were walking just right down to the Hispanic shop. The lady told her she could just take it & come back & pay for it when Chris got back. We were like are you sure? She told us she trusted Mrs. D. She could see it in her eyes she could trust her! it was Really cool! Eventually Chris got there & we payed for it of course! Well next was the Hispanic shop. There were lots of different things too. I've eaten cactus before & found it there so I bought it so my class could try it! Third we went to the Indian shop. it was very little. not a lot to choose from. But there were some small bracelets she let a couple of the girls have for free. She was very giving. I bought some Henna tattoo stuff which was $2.59, but she told me she would give it to me for only $2. it was cool! She bargained with us! hehe.
For lunch we went to a Mediterranean restaurant/market. What we had was like a pizza thing & some type of bread wrapped in beef, which was alright. After lunch our last stop was an Asian shop. We walked in & since C & G are from China the first thing they said was "It smells like home!" it was cute to see them all excited!! we were there the longest & there were many different things! Mrs. D started to talk Vietnamese with the lady at the counter! it was cool! Something REALLY funny happened while we were there, but I promised a certain person I wouldn't put it on here. SORRY! hehe. :]
In the end I ended up buying something from every store! It was really cool to see the so many different cultures & religions! And we were gone all day we didn't have time to do any school! woo hoo! hehe.
Tonight at supper we were done eating, but just sat around to talk & hang out. Randomly Trinity says "Who could wear that outfit?" Me & C looked to see what she was talking about & saw this Huge outfit that was apparently made for someone large. C said "Kb could wear it!" I looked at her & said "Do I LOOK fat to YOU?!!" She started to laugh then was like "Noo. I didn't mean it like that.. you would wear something like that in Africa considering the fact it's from Africa!" hahaha it was sooo funny! we just laughed after that!
Alrighty well I got TONS of stuff to do! aggg!! keep praying for us!
LOVE YOU & MiSS YOU!!
*kisses*
Love Kb :]

Our Small Group Worship
On Sunday mornings, we have worship in the great room of Quad 4. We are a group of believers in Jesus who meet to sing praises, share testimonies and study the Holy Book. These times have been sweet and very memorable. We are loving our new 'family'!!
Some Funny Stories!!
Oh my goodness!! okay soo many funny things have happened since I've been here, but I just haven't had the time to put it on here! Where do I begin??
Alright one day me, Jess & B were outside swinging on the swings & Jess would run threw me & B trying not to get hit. Well she almost made it while I was swinging up, but she didn't move in time when I came back & i hit her and she flew part ways across the playground!! hahaha. I felt soo bad, but when I went over to her she was totally fine & laughing!! Then one time me, Trin, C, B & Jess were hanging out playing a card game. We got tired of it so then Jess & B left & Trin got up to see if her mom had any more cookies. She came back with nothing. We were really tired so we laid in the middle of the pathway & rested! After a while we decided to go ahead and go to supper. I was getting my shoes on, but something inside didn't feel right. I checked what it was & it was a BUNCH of candy wrappers!! I was like Trin!! She started laughing and then I realized when she went to her quad she got candy, brought it back [without us knowing about it], ate it, then put her trash in my shoes! hehe. Oh and one Monday at school Mrs. Deborah was getting the laptop out for me so I could do my school. Well anyways when I was done with it I put the laptop back in the cabinet & locked it. Well the next day when we were gonna get it out we couldn't unlock the lock... because I had put it on backwards!! We had to get Mr. Dale & Mr. Ben to come in & get the lock off. By doing that they had to take the handle off! I felt soo bad! But it was soo funny!! During supper one night us girls were eating outside [as always] and me & G asked anybody if they needed anything cause we were going inside real quick. Well we thought we heard everyone say they wanted another roll, so we were like okay how many more is that? We added it up & since 2 of the 6 girls wanted 2 it added up to 8 rolls. We went back inside & G got the rolls & went outside while I got some crackers! When I got out there the girls were laughing & I was like "What are you laughing about?" They said they were laughing because G got 8 rolls when they only needed 5! So there were 3 left over! All of a sudden Trin was like "Let's have a toast." So we raised our glasses & toasted & everyone drank from their cups but me. They were like "You gotta drink other wise it's not a toast." I was like "I'm not done eating yet. I can't take a drink!" They were like "Well I guess we gotta do it again!" So we did & this time I decided to fool them & pretend to take a drink. When we sat out drinks down they started laughing their heads off. THAT'S when I realized they had put something in my drink! I asked them what they put in it & they said salt! How nasty is that?! hehe. At school Trin was putting glue on her hand, letting it dry, then would peel it off. Well she was doing it, but the glue kept oozing out & I just kept wiping it on her hand until it would stop... but it wouldn't stop! We were freaking out when Mrs. Deborah said "Why don't you just close it?" We were like "Oh yeah duh!" hahaha. we felt dumb! Last night during supper we were outside eating when we kept seeing this bird flying over us. We were kidding around & saying "It's a bat!! ahh it's a bat!" But then we looked at it closer & it Really WAS a bat! When we told Trin this she tried jumping out of her seat, but got stuck between the heavy chair & table. She finally got out & jumped in my lap screaming!! It was sooo funny!!
Oh yeah but before supper me & Trin & her 3 other siblings were out on the playground when for some reason we wanted to see how many people we could get on 1 swing. I was on the bottom, then GL on me, then Trin, then Eden on me & last was Noah who stood on the side!! we got 5 people on 1 swing & we started swinging! it was soo funny & people were watching us laughing & giving us weird looks! hehe.
