up with kady

okay. so i need some comments. am i making this blog personal?! like are you getting what i'm feeling? or is it just what i'm doing everyday? i'm thinking maybe i need to be focusing on what i'm feeling/seeing/loving/hating etc. so what do you guys think?! that and just say hello cause i miss you all like crazy!

ok so going to try a different style. maybe. if i can. we'll see.

thailand in a couple words is (and i know i totally stole this from libby ((cast c's libby, not libby back home)) but i think its okay cause we probably have different people reading our blogs. and the words will differ to some extent)

- gosh darned hot. i've never sweated so much in my life. like i've never literally had sweat dripping down my face. hahah now i bet you all have a real pretty picture of me in your head!!!
- for those that went to dominican with me, like there but throw in some crazy buhddist (can i spell?!) temples. like the same streets with shops along the road and street vendors and people just everywhere and dogs just everywhere.
- different food! like its gotten to the point where we ask each other 'what is this?' as we put it in our mouths. like i have no idea what a lot of my meals are! some of the girls had jellyfish the other day! agh! and i tried octopus. like a little tentacle. it was rubbery.
- language. their language is SOOOOO cool. i love it. i wish i could understand. cause its completely different then ours. like the characters are so cool. and it blows my mind that people can read them. and that around the world we've all come up with a set of characters that allowed us to communicate. wow. awesome.
- just incredible. if anyone would of told me a year ago that i'd be in thailand, living with a thai family, eating crazy food, working in thai schools and performing a huge show for them with people from around the world i would have told them to shut their face. but alas here i am. awesomeaweome

ok so the highlights. cause i really don't want to catch you up of the 5/6ish days that i'm behind by.

- sunday: incredible day! we went to the sea gyspy village and talked to people there. not one person in the village died from the tsunami! unbelievable! and then we saw monkeys!!!!! have a video and will put in on facebook when i can. they take sooo long to load though! and then we took a fishing boat out to coral island. oh an awesome moment was on the dock before we got on the boat and it was concreate and had a lot of water on it and we all ran though it jumping and splashing each other till our pants were soaked through. loved it! anyways this boat ride was incredible. i just sat on the side of the boat - in awe of what i was experiencing. i was in thailand, taking a boat out to an island, surrounded by amazing friends from around the world, and all i could see was 'sea teal' (dave and i attempted to crayola name the color of the ocean, that was mine) ocean spreading out in front of me with jungle islands plopped into it. like 'lord of the flies' worthy islands. i'm suprised i didn't see piggy himself running across the beach with the conch. anyways we get to coral island and we literally run into the water. soooooo awesome. and then we went and rented snorkels, goggles and flippers. UNREAL! like there waas tropical fish. coral (hence the name of the island?! perhaps?!) and then like yellow, and blue, and white, and just amazing fish everywhere. swimming right beside us. it was incredible. and then later in the day dave told me that a couple people were walking through the jungle for a bit to get to another beach. so dave, brodie, aimee, johnny and i set off through the jungle. barefoot. in a foreign country. don't freak out mom! it was soo cool. extreme jungle on one side - extreme ocean on the other. mind blowing. like AGH OH MY GOD LIFE IS SOOOOOO AWESOME! but then we get to this point where brodie looks up and makes this ahhh/agh/scream thing. and we look up to see spider as big as my hand dangling over our heads on the path. and this is not even a lie. AS BIG AS MY HAND! true story. ugh. soo gross. but despite this dave, brodie and i decided to venture on. agh! hahaha we swat/ran under the spider - only to look up and see two more placed in the path to go. agh! this was basically what was going through my mind. AGH! haha and laughing at dave and brodie. cause they were kinda freaking out. more then i was. hahaha. but you have to understand. they were right above our heads. in a position where they could easily jump on us. and we had no idea what they could do to us. like maybe they were ninja spiders and could kill us with a single brush of their leg. anyways. this is becomming really long. i guess it just proves how stellar it was (i use awesome too much. does stellar work?!). anyways i loved the whole trek. being barefoot - feeling the dirt and rocks. seeing giant spiders. and a lizard. and a couple millipedes. and we did get to the beach and it was gorgeous and deserted. so we swam. and had a handstand contest. and it was awesome. stellar? and then we went back. again - more spiders. and me loving them cause it makes for such an awesome story. and then we went to this huge dinner thing (we had 15mins to clean all the sand off and get into dresses and look pretty. hahaha the girls room was a zooo!) where i ate sooo much. and couldn't tell you what a lot of it was. but it was GOOOOOD!!!! and then we went to fantasea - and big performance which has like 10 elephants in it. they were cute. and when it was over we boarded this 'bus'. the back of a covered truck with benches. i loved it. and we all kinda slept on each other. i had dave, alex, and shannon and leaning on me.

and ok. that took forever with a capital f. Forever. so will not be writing of the other incredible things right now. but remind me to write about
- the family tree
- fufu
- and thats all i can think of right now
- ci's

okay but just something really cool - tuesday and today i've been a little down. tired and kinda feeling blah. which is a sign of homesickness. so anyways. here i am writing this crazy long blog and during this time i got a facebook message from mom, justin, and daniel. AND talked to neal, maria, libby, and ryan on msn. i'm on like home overload. and i'm just really happy. and i'm going to go play my guitar and then go to sleep and have an awesome SHOW DAY TOMORROW! yes!!!!

ok i love you all sooooo much. i hope you know. even you out there that maybe clicked on the link to my blog from the cast's website (www.castc2007.com). cause you basically just read a novel. ok i really need to wrap this up.

so lovelovelovelovelove!!!!!
