Or as I call her, Captain Kayla. Kayla is a junior in the nursing school at The University of Michigan. She's sassy, fun, energetic, a great dancer, loyal, honest, and really keeps the Stumble Inn a functioning home.
I met Kayla my freshman year of college, but we didn't become close friends until this past summer. Although she may try to hide it with her sassy attitude, Kayla has one of the biggest hearts out there. She is a nanny, loves children, makes sure everyone is functioning when they have had one too many drinks, and is always there when you need a friend. Kayla has helped the Stumble Inn become a family, and we couldn't thank her more.
Not only do we call her Captain Kayla, but I also refer to her as Mom. She keeps everyone on their toes when it comes to chores, she keeps in touch with our land lord, constantly has car seats in her car for when she babysits, and when she isn't turning up the music at a party, you can find her cooking in the kitchen creating her next masterpiece.
Kayla is someone that has reminded me time and time again that friends aren't just friends, they are family. Kayla is someone who has picked me up and dusted me off during a rough times, and reminded me that families are always there for each other through thick and thin. Although she has had to tell me things I don't always want to hear, I know that I can always count on her for the honest truth, and I always thank her in the end.
If you are lucky enough to every meet Kayla, don't hug her right away. Don't worry though, she will warm up. And if you are really lucky, she will make you cheesy ramen. But that, my friends, is a story for another time.
