Well, it's been a long road, I guess you can say, towards being who I am today, and there's been a lot of people along the way that I've drawn strength and courage and inspiration from.
These are just a few.
Do remember that these are in no particular order, so it doesn't matter /where/ your name appears...as long as it's on here, it means that you are a special person to me and that I consider you a friend. Alright? Got it? Don't complain to me or I will deck you...sorry...I'm PMSing, you'll have to excuse me.
On a serious note, just remember that you are all wonderful, and I love you all because you are unique individuals. That's what makes you so special. If your name doesn't appear on the list, either I don't like you or I'm being forgetful again. Let me know, and if you show up sometime in the near future, it means that I am showing my blonde yet again.
Anyway...luv, peece and respect from Kayla S...the Wanna Be....
Carl is probably one of the most amazing people I have met in my entire life. I think I figured that out from the first moment that I truly talked to him. He's so very sweet, and loyal to his friends. He's always there when I need him, through thick and thin and good and bad. He has a great sense of humor and is so sensitive to the people around him...even when he tries to act all tough and everything. He's so sweet and caring, I am so proud to say he's mine. :-D Thanks, sweet stuff, for always being there when I've needed you, for listening and supporting me through everything. I love you. You are incredible. :-*
There's Jay, who is a goofball and just so much fun to be around...she always makes me smile, especially when she decides that it is time for her to speak her mind. That's one thing she never hesitates to do. And, from me to you, it is one of the best things about her, that she is always honest and never sugar-coats anything. She's the hobbit Mirabella!!! lol...
Mary is my fellow poet, a kindred spirit of sorts. And she too doesn't hesitate when you cross her...which I suggest that you don't do...I mean, I really advise you NOT to cross her.
Emily...you are awesome girl...keep your head held high no matter what, and always remember that you are a wonderful, kind, beautiful girl. Leave the past behind and move steadily toward the future. Lots of luv.
Jeeks and Qu...You guys have been there for me through thick and thin, no matter what. I love you...best friends forever...and Lu, you're gone, but you know that you are still my best girl, and there's such a special place for you in my heart. I know that the angels have to rejoice that you've come home...
David...what's there to say about David?? He's a total jerk with no personality...just kidding, dude...David's amazing, folks, sophisticated with a great sense of humor...a good writer (check out the poem he wrote, it's up on my poetry page). Avoid that Senioritis, man, stay just as cool a cat as you are (I just had to put the cool cat back in this one, like in the old shout...for old times sake, ya know?? :-P) and don't let the real world get you down...best of luck.
To Danny...I'm sorry that you got the wrong impression those months ago. I still think you are a wonderful, amazing guy, and I look back on our month together with fond memories and no regrets--even when i'm wondering what i was thinking ;-). Anyway, dude, best wishes to you and Salli, although I know it's a little late to be wishing them now...
Salli, I know that we haven't gotten along well as of late, but you truly were a supercool freshmen, and I hope that you stay that way through your sophomore year...and junior year..and finally your senior year (I know, I know, it seems so far away ;-) )...although I hopefully won't be there to see that last one...;-) Anyway, we've had our disagreements, and I've been upset at you, yea, but I've put that behind me, and I want to say that I am sorry to have wasted these past couple of months being angry when we could have been friends again. That was stupid and childish of me. Anyway, I'm sorry, and I hope you can accept this apology if you ever read it.
And there's Brent. I haven't known him long...go figure, we've only rode the bus together for two years, and we're just now talkin' ;-)...but anyway, he still seems like a pretty cool guy...a decent fellow, with a twisted sense of humor.
Ashley and Blair are nice...best buds, I wouldn't seperate them, even if it is only on the internet! Ashley is also another that doesn't really mind speaking her mind...and Blair's nice, but sometimes she seems shy...And through thick and thin they are there for each other. That is amazing guys.
Elliott is a sweetheart...He's really quiet when he's at the table...but oh my goodness, when you get on the bus...anyway...You're cool in my book, Killa E...not that my book means much of anything....
Travis is so nice, and he's funny--freshmen, all the way. Stay the same sophomore year. ;-) Good luck with football and everything you endeavor to do...much love.
John is awesome, so smart and he's a good writer too, another kindred spirit of sorts. Thanx for the heads up about soccer...hey, it's a purty awesome sport...;-). Good luck at Chick-Fil-A...:-P
Kevin's awesome too. Good luck with your senior year, senior projects...you get the drift...;-)
Aaron loves his Star Wars and Lord of the Rings--you go dude! Middle-earth ROCKS!!!!! Stay awesome dude, good luck with life and love...and best of luck with Jessica...;-)
Kyle is so cool---band and LotR, gotta love him...the gentle giant, as long as you don't make him mad! I hope you do well with the Cav Journal staff this year, great first piece...good luck, I mean, afterall, us journalistic types gots ta stick tagetha....;-P
Hey Larry, the loser boy. ;-) Best of luck and all the world's happiness to you and Meghan.
Hey, Meghan, you are wicked awesome, stay cool.......tell Raychel I said hey....much luv....
Raychel doesn't eat with us *sniff-sniff* but she's awesome so we'll forgive her for that...another LotR fan...Legolas and Strider, girl, all the way!!!!!

And there's all my pals from church...Ashleigh, Ashleigh T., and Jenniffer. And there's Jenniffer's boy Justin, and Ashleigh's got Aaron...wow...I am starting to feel left out. Dale and Kevin...You guys are strange. Just kidding...y'all are wonderful, stay awesome, just the way you are. Meg and Whitney and Amy and Tammy and Rob...you guys are the best workers ever!

And just a quick shout out to my pals and fellow equine enthusiasts at BT Stables...you guys are wonderful!
And for my family....Mom and Dad...you guys are great, even though we fight, and Tara and Rachel...y'all are the best little sises I could ask for. Ali, Kelsey, You guys are my best cuzes...Angels forever! Or maybe we're the stooges...I dunno...
And to the rest of my cuzes...Garrett, Nick, Danielle, Grant, Maddy, Susy Q, Ryan, Jake...Alex and Courtney (my Hoot Owl)...'Rissa...Love you guys! Can't wait to see you again...

I love you too!!!!! You guys are all wonderful, and I am proud to call myself a Sandy with Conley blood...that's a bit complicated...oh well...
To Gran and Pappy and Granny Alice....To Papaw Harlan because I will never forget you...I love you guys too. Thanks for all your love and support, and thanks for teaching me the important things...like how to be proud of who I am and how important family is....and how to drive the tractor...oh yea...can't wait to see that old Ford this summer, Pap!!!!!
Well, anyway, that is a taste of the many influences on my life, from my friends to my family.
A good friend can tell you what is the matter with you in a minute. He may not seem such a good friend after telling.
