A name you might be hearing more of…
Back for now!
I have not been using Xanga much for a while, and I figured that the first posts I began putting up needed to be significant and not just random notes. Now is good timing, because my post a couple of days ago was quite right for the occasion- and so is this one.
Celeb
My sister-in-law’s name could potentially be one you will hear more of if you live around us in South Carolina. Kayla Anderson is a local ‘celebrity’ where she works in Idaho as an anchor and weather forecaster. It turns out that the local network affiliate of CBS, WLTX 19, got a look at a tape of some of her ‘work’ and is flying her out from Idaho to South Carolina the weekend after next for a personal interview. If she’s offered the job, and takes it? Being put through meteorology classes and becoming a local celebrity of Columbia, SC might be in her future.
Changes
It will be quite a dramatic life change for us, not just her. Not only would I have a sister who is in the local news, but for the first time since Katrina was little she’d be living in the same place as her sister. It would also be the first time we as a family have had Katrina’s relatives living in the same state as us, much less the same city. Talk about a new dynamic! I’m excited for Kayla and for the good things such a change could bring, and a little nervous about the unknown. There’s always been an edge of tension with Katrina’s family, and I’d like to think it’s just because they haven’t had a chance to really get to know me. I hope for the best- that if Kayla does end up moving here, she’ll be willing to get to know me and accept me as I am.
I know my family will be happy to get to know Kayla, and Mom will probably leap at the chance to welcome yet another daughter into the local family (hmmmm… my Mom would call Katrina her daughter-in-law, but what would she call Kayla?
Probably daughter, regardless of what the technical term is!).So, now to see what the future holds.
