It occurred to me this morning that in the whole "infinity/timeless" dealio- meaning the whole day is like a minute, thousand years like a day thing - that we are all toddlers in the age-eyes of God.
This makes me feel like my bratty/leavemealone/Icandoitmyselfthankyouverymuch attitude may actually be relatively natural. I picture myself running naked away from bathtime, all soapy and giggly! Ah Freedom! *skip-skip-skip* *shriek of laughter*
Cool! I am a terrible-two and God expects that!
"Suffer not the little children to come unto me!"
Now, if I can just move beyond using it as an excuse...

Auntie X2?
Ok, so, technically I am not... but Kyliah gave birth to
Samantha Rain Villa
on August 9th -
7lbs 12oz, 21 inches!
I held her for an hour yesterday. I think she knew my voice because she wasn't fussy or anything. Well, that's how I like to believe it. :)
God knows I talked to her in the belly enough.
Congrats!!!!
(sorry - I forgot my camera! no pic!)

You people are sneaky!
Ok - I have HAD it with you sneaky "I read your blog but you would never know it because I don't make comments unless I randomly see you on campus" people!!!!!
I did not realize that people actually read this thing. I figured it was just my two aunts and Rachel and B-W. Whom by the way, I am grateful for your comments!
Anyway.... thank you to the peeps who casually congratulated me on my new head in the clouds mentality. I am sure that if P-Dog knew that I was posting copious amounts of mushiness about him for the world to see, I would be exiled to Mars, so I guess it's good that he doesn't so much keep up on this thing! (HA! HA! I can tell secrets about us and he shall never know!!!!! Huzzah!)
Other things going on in life:
I am looking for some change (yeah... I know, like I need any more, right?!) I am feeling this huge Esther type preparation anointing thing going on in my spirit (to which P-Dog commented, "What? You have the anointing to be a PROSTITUTE?!" No, honey, but thanks for checking. : Grrrr.)
Brother is getting healthier. Baby steps to the door....baby steps to the street... I am cautiously optimistic - PROGRESS!!!! I am proud of him for some new/different choices he has made.
IMPORTANT!!!!!
KATIE AND NICK ARE ENGAGED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He did it on the sand dunes in Michigan not last night but the night before. SO sweet! He tricked her into thinking they were going to a movie, but then it got all cancelled, and at the dunes he was all "Do you want some water?" and she was like "ok" and instead of giving her the water to drink, he like totally washed her feet and then, like, totally proposed. Like, oh my Gosh. :)
Way to go Nick - you rock!
Congratulations to my dear sweet sister Katie, whom I miss terribly and look forward to seeing very much.
Hmmm...lets see... what else?
Oh, Jesus and I have been having lots of talks about life and future and happy-hard things. It's time to step up to the plate folks. And I am learning that being ondeck is much, much, much easier. Why can't I just be the great nice player that sits on the bench and encourages everybody else to play well???? I am good at that! Coach has basically told me that homeruns don't count in batting practice. It's time to get off the bench, and get in the game. The scary part is I know I am up against a conniving, experienced pitcher. The not scary part is I have the best teammates ever. But teammates don't go to bat for you, they just encourage you to smack it out of the park. I can do that I think. Heck, I've been in the minors long enough.
I think that is just about as far as I would like to take this analogy today. (But I am sure there will be more... it is a baseball analogy after all :) )
Some upcoming events I am looking forward to:
PDog home
Padres Game
See Mom/Dad (Ben?)
See Beckin/Kevy (don't ask)
A'S GAME
Etta James
To life!

I am in love... ahhhh
Yup. It is official. I love a boy. Actually, I love a man. (He is SO NOT a boy!) I know this might come as a shocker to some; I have keeping this on the d-low for a while as we were "working it out". BUT, I just got back from visiting him in Florida, where God used us to minister to each other and others and solidified a lot of stuff for us - or at least for me. It's funny - we don't really know where we will go, or what we will do, or the time line or details or anything. All we really know for sure is that we are doing it together.
Writing this on my blog is a testimony for me. I am scared as I write it.... it seems to make things, so, REAL.
BUT that is what this is! REAL! All the other times - those were the fake times! I had gotten so used to the fake times that the real time seems, well, fake. (Just humor me if you don't get what I am saying)
I want to tell you just a few things that I love about him.
1. Loves God so much/is a worshipper
2. Thoughtful
3. Integritous
4. Creative
5. Excellent planner
6. Educated (self and formally)
7. A great servant (which makes him a great leader)
8. Likes music
9. Intelligent
10. Fine. No wait - hella fine. (ohthankyoujesus!)
And that is just the tippy tip top of the iceberg!
I think you will be hearing more about our adventures as time goes on. So far, I just ask that you pray for us and what God is doing. Please also pray for me that I can be excited and enjoy the next two weeks while he is still in Florida and I am back in LA. :( I miss him a lot - I know it will be over soon, but that only helps a little.
Oh yeah, one more thing - he loves me too.

Another awesome quote from Kyliah....
In regards to Branston Hicks contractions 8-10 days before her baby is due:
"I hesistate to say painful, because that is a word that we will save for later."
Ahhh, I love this woman.
