Kevin and Karlee

Day 97------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All the 9 inches of snow we got yesterday has almost completely melted. YAY!


I figure it's well about time to tell you about my two closest friends here at Job Corps, Kevin and Karlee.

 First off, Kevin is my foreman in trade and he's also Jamie's best friend. He's a pretty big guy, 6ft 5in, very broad, but he's more or less a teddy bear. Just don't piss him off. He's protective and a loyal friend. I look at him like an older brother. I think part of that is because he helped me get into trade. I was so worried that I wouldn't get in, I was even making plans for what would happen if I didn't. But he calmed me down and reassured me over and over again. He was very patient, and I'm grateful he was there.

Karlee used to hate me. Like really hate me. We used to butt heads and I'm pretty sure she used to talk about me behind my back, I sure heard that she did. But then once I got to know her, I kinda started to like her. I was cautious though. I didn't tell her too much becuase I was afraid she might use it against me, you know how girls are. So I got to know her at an arms length. Then she started opening up to me more and more, so I figured it was okay to share some of my life back. Now I've learned we have a lot in common and she's a lot of fun. You almost never see one without the other. I always sit with her and Kevin, sometimes accompanied by Jamie when he shows up for meals. Whenever Kevin isn't around and he's off doing guy things with Jamie, Karlee and I usually hang out together. We talk about everything. Whenever she needs a friend she calls for me, and whenever I need to talk I call for her. I think it's ironic how we started out as enemies, now we're like two peas in a pod. :-)
