This blog has been created by and for the Kinast Family. As we begin to grow and branch out, we thought it might be fun to create a place where we could learn and share about one another. In this blog, you will hear stories about funny situations we have been in, current status on family, things that have helped us to grow as people and other positive impacts that we have each experienced in our lives. So, sit back, take a few moments to relax, and learn about those you love who will always love and support you in your life...

life at the moment

Hello all,

This is Kate taking the place of Chris for the blog. He is busy wrapping up the school year so we traded blogging places.

I have spent the past several weeks getting things together so I can enroll at WSU. I had to get a few transcript things figured out with Southwestern but today my transcript arrived and I excited to see that I have enough credits to qualify as a junior and have a 3.88 GPA. I am not sure yet how many credits will transfer but it looks like I will for sure have enough to be a second semester sophomore.

I am planning to enroll in women's studies with a concentration in Women's Issues in Society. I have looked at the courses and I am excited to see what I can get into this fall.

In case you haven't heard Benjamin (my service dog) will be arriving July 31st. We will have about a week of team training with the instructor from Heeling Allies and then we will be left on our own to navigate life together. I am excited to have him in time for school but it will be a short intense time of transition as school starts August 20th.

I am continuing to enjoy living in my apartment and I often spend two to three nights there. I often get together with my friend Allie. Right now our activity of choice is to watch trashy t.v. :D We have several shows we watch and are just finishing the first season of Pretty Little Liars (a true trashy show) on DVD. Shona loves going to the apartment and enjoys our walks we take there. She is much better behaved on the lead in Wichita as there aren't many things to chase.

Speaking of Shona's obedience skills, mother is going to be taking Shona to beginning obedience at the Kennel Club. This should truly be an interesting spectacle as mother has never trained a dog and Shona is well....not the most obedient of dogs.

One last piece of news before I wrap up this thourghly uneventful blog post is that I bought a Wii. I have wanted one for awhile and I gave into my to-buy urge a few weeks ago and purchased one. I have enjoyed figuring out what games I like to play. Currently, my favorite is the Just Dance Kids Version. It makes me and mother laugh. Oh and I also bought a membership to Game Stop. It is much cheaper and I can buy games from them.

I hope everyone is well and is enjoying their beginning of May.

Love,
Kate

    Dan has done the GameStop membership. It is cheaper. We have a few games you can borrow if you'd like for your Wii! Enjoy the countdown to Benjamin. Be sure to register with the disability services at WSU (I"m sure you've thought of that), I hear they do a good job. :)
