Christmas Play 2009
Our Christmas play at church this year was called, "Christmas Caroling at Greenhill." Everyone had great time and the play turned out great! Here is a summary of the plot:
"A group of young carolers make stops at neighborhood homes and discover that Christmas is not only about love, joy, peace and happiness, but also about reaching out to others who might be lonely, in need, or just out of step with the social norm. Most importantly, they discover that Christmas is about Christ, son of God, born in a stable. and died on a cross to give us forgiveness and a purpose to our lives."

I lived through the H1N1
A few weeks ago I was telling people I had the swine flu (partially teasing). Little did I know we actually had the H1N1 flu. My brother was the first confirmed case in our county. It actually wasn't as bad as you would think the H1N1 would be. I just felt like I had a really horrible cold and was tired. Now, when I'm old, I can say,"Way back in 2009, my family lived through the H1N1 epidemic." ; )

Pasture
We just got a fence built and a new pasture behind our house! Our animals are really liking the space and I am liking the ease of chores with it.

Adventureland
We went to Adventureland last Monday with two friends families. Since the area public schools opened that day, barely anyone was there. Our longest wait for a ride was only 10 minutes! We stayed from opening to closing and went all all but two rides(most rides multiple times). To add to the joy, the weather was great and we got free cotton candy!
Since I hadn't been to Adventureland for 5 or 6 years, I was pretty scared(in a fun way) of the rides. My throat still hurts from screaming almost a week ago. I'm pretty sure I would have had a heart attack if I would have rode the Spaceshot one more time.
My favorite ride was the Falling Star, we rode it way over 10 times! I very fondly remember screaming at the top of my lungs, flying into Lindsay and Becca at high speeds, Lindsay flying into me at high speeds, thinking the bar was broken and I was going to die, good times.......
My least favorite ride was the Side Winder. If you know what my regular scream sounds like, imagine that only 10 times worse. Apparently everyone on the ground got a big kick out of my terror.

Parade
Today I passed out candy during a parade for a nearby town's 125th anniversary. A little boy went with me and I taught him to hand out candy, but it took him a while to catch on. LOL! The only bad part of it was that we got stuck walking along the NOISY tractors. My ears are still ringing....

Hilarious stuff about Obama!







Can you tell who I support?
Q. Why did Senator Ted Kennedy vote for Barack Obama?
A. Brain tumor.
A. Because Jimmy doesn’t want to be the worst President in history.

A nice lady at Walgreens
When I was at Walgreens picking up some prints for the county fair, I had like a 10 minute conversation with a lady who was ordering pictures(not out of character for me). When I asked the clerk what I'm supposed to put the pictures on since frames are against the rules and a random lady told me what to use and how to do it. She was a blue ribbon winner at the state fair in photography. Then she asked if she could see what I was entering and was really impressed with some of my pictures. = ) She gave me some advice and wished me the best of luck. It is such a blessing to run into people like that.

Hi Jessica,You know how I was going to finish deep cleaning my room today. Well, I haven't started yet. Instead I went to work, sent a few huge emails to you, played piano, talked to my aunts and cousin, talked to my mom and now am going on the computer. I will do it later, but now, the computer needs me.

A picture of my great grandpa's 1936 Kodak Bullet Camera
While I was cleaning out my antique drawers, I found this camera I forgot I had. It was my great grandpa's and it is one of the few of his things we have left. I ran upstairs and started googling. It is a 1936 Kodak Bullet Camera. Well, I better get back to cleaning.
This is my first experiment with foam board. It didn't turn out too well. : (

Community Treasure Chest
Today our church's CWS, aka the old ladies's club,which I belong to, had its first Community Treasure Chest. A Community Treasure Chest is where we give away free clothes and garden produce. Surprisingly, we had lots of nice clothes. I was assigned to go around town, knock on peoples doors and tell them about it. Other than almost getting mauled a one eyed dog, I actually rather enjoyed it. I went to every house in town. Hey, I might have a future as a traveling sales person! Too bad nobody showed up. :( We are having it again next month and will hopefully have a better turn out.

From my journal- an unnamed poem
This is a poem I wrote last Saturday night. After a busy week of farming and farm trauma, it seemed like the week just flew by in the blink of an eye. Please tell me if you have any name ideas for it and if you think it is any good.
Another week hast come and past,
The days and years are not to last,
In only one place, thou shalt find,
Enternal life, and it is thine,
If only thou shalt take it.
It came to me in Old English, but it kind of sounds silly. I rewrote it in more modern way.
Another week has come and past,
The days and years are not to last,
In only one place you will find,
Eternal life, and it is thine,
If only you will take it.
Which one do you like better?![]()

AMEN!
This is an email I got from my great aunt.
"You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out
of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person
must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody
anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When
half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the
other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the
idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what
they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You
cannot multiply wealth by dividing it." ~~~~~ The late Dr. Adrian
Rogers, 1931 - 2005 ~~~
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG,
OF THE
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ,
AND TO THE REPUBLIC, FOR
WHICH IT STANDS,
ONE NATION UNDER GOD ,
INDIVISIBLE, WITH
LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL!
KEEP IT LIT!! KEEP IT LIT!
For All of our other military personnel, where ever they may Be
Please Support all of the troops defending our Country.
And God
Bless our Military who are protecting our Country for our Freedom.
Thanks To them, and their sacrifices we can celebrate the 4th of July
We must never forget who
Gets the credit for the freedoms we have, of which we should be
Eternally grateful..
I watched the flag
Pass by one day,
It fluttered in the breeze.
A young Marine
Saluted it,
And then he stood at ease..
I looked at
Him in uniform
So young, so tall, so proud,
With hair cut square
And eyes alert
He'd stand out in any crowd.
I thought how many men
Like him
Had fallen through the years.
How many died on foreign Soil
How many mothers' tears?
How many pilots' planes
Shot down?
How many died at sea
How many foxholes were soldiers' Graves ?
No, freedom isn't free
I heard the sound of Taps One night,
When everything was still,
I listened to the bugler Play
And felt a sudden chill.
I wondered just how many times
That Taps had meant 'Amen,'
When a flag had draped a Coffin.
Of a brother or a friend.
I thought of all the Children,
Of the mothers and the wives,
Of fathers, sons and Husbands
With interrupted lives.
I Thought about a graveyard
At the bottom of the sea
Of unmarked graves in Arlington .
No, freedom isn't free.
Enjoy Your Freedom
&God Bless Our Troops
When You receive this,
please stop for a moment
And Say a
Prayer for our servicemen.
Of all the gifts you could give
A US Soldier, Prayer is the very best One .

The weirdest dream yet
This is a dream I had, NOT REAL. I copied and pasted this from an IM conversation, so please excuse the extreme lack of punctuation.
my sibling and I, Nate and Katie and my cousin Aleah
walked a few miles after church to go to a river
a HUGE river
it was 3 times bigger than the Des Moines River
and had water skis and those water pillows from Wipeout
everyone except Nate, lily and I went down to go swimming
I was looking over the edge of the bridge
and this HUGE (like room sized) white otter went swimming under the bridge
I yelled"Look, it's an otter"
and ran to the other side
when Nate looked over the edge, you slipped and went falling into the river
with the creepy giant white otter
as Nate was falling, he yelled "go get help!"
so I ran back to church ,but I was wearing a skirt so it took a really long time
when I got back
EVERYONE at church was getting ready for this engagement party Ben and Carolyn(Nate and Katie's brother and his fiance) were having
and wouldn't listen to me when I tried to get someone to come and save everyone
so I stayed for the party
it was a really fancy party
and we ate hash brown caseroll
and jello
I know, weird.
after the party
my mom went to save everyone
but it turns out everyone was wearing life jackets and Nate swam to the side after he fell off the bridge
and everyone was playing in the river
I went in and started swimming
then I realized I was listing to music
my Ipod was IN THE WATER
when I got out of the water, it busted.

The horible, no good, very bad day that wasn't so bad after all
Our swingset fell over.
This piece of our garage siding was ripped.
It's hard to see, but this window is shattered.
This is the picture that was on TV during the news today.
It all started at 2:30 in the morning whenI woke up to what I thought was pots and pans dropping. Then I heard my dad shout," Get downstairs" and I heard people running to my brother's room. I got up and everyone said that it was storming and the kitchen window was smashed. I stayed up for a little while, thinking the house was going to be ripped to shreds in the next few minutes, but after about 3 minutes I realized that it was just a storm and went back to bed. When I woke up, we went to go check out the damage (pictures above).
Our original plan for the day was to go swimming at one of our friend's house, so when another one of my friend's mom called and invited me shopping, I couldn't go. : (
Later on our grandpa called and needed help picking up branches after the storm so we couldn't go swimming. : (
This morning I sent in this picture to the news TV station. We watched the news at twelve and were disappointed to see it wasn't on. I was also sad about missing out on shopping and swimming. At about 12:30, My grandma called and said her friend said the picture I took and my name was on the news!!!!!! I couldn't believe it! My 4th time having my photography published and my first time on TV!
Woodery wasn't as bad as I expected and went over quickly.
Now the sun is shining, the power is on and they day doesn't seem 1/2 as bad as it did at 12:00.

Lastest farm happenings
Mom working in the garden,
Our newest calf from Beverly, Vader(I didn't name him!).
This is me sitting in our new barn, reading family, church and county history and listing to my Ipod. I didn't know anyone was even in the barn. Since you're wondering, that was the only chair I could find.Posted by Savannah Nichole at 10:59 AM 0 Paw Prints Links to this post

Union Chapel Service, 2009
Union Chapel
Union Chapel
The outhouse
History
Some very old Bibles
Union Chapel
Terry took this one
Today I went to my second service at Union Chapel (click here and here for last years pictures). Since I love old buildings, churches a family history, it isn't surprising I instantly fell in love with this place. It was built in 1877 and my great grandpa's great grandpa was one of the original stockholders (and he is buried in the cemetery behind it). Sometimes I wonder if my ancestors sang the same songs we were singing or sat in the same pew.
I was also thinking about wearing authentic clothes, but I decided I would look way too out of place because nobody else would have worn them with me. Mom say that the people from our church wouldn't think anything of it because that is just be, it would be the visitors that would wonder.
This year I got to play "Seek Ye First in Cannon Settings" for prelude. The piano is as old as the church and has very sticky keys. When I was practicing, I was able to play through it all right, but they were not cooperating during service! Somehow I got through it all right though.
Here is a recording of it http://www.iraunitedchurch.com/media/2009-05-24SavannahPrelude.mp3
The church has no electric or plumbing so we had service with the windows open. I really loved having the cool breeze blow through every so often and the natural lighting was a pleasant change from our regular church's stuffy darkness.
While I was ridding the horse this afternoon a song we sang earlier came into my head, 'The Old-fashioned Meeting" (look it up if you don't know it!). My thoughts are hard to pinpoint exactly but, Maybe things are better in the old fashion way.......

Some more Vacation Pictures
My siblings and I
This is a warthog. Did you know I HATE all kinds of pigs. They are my least favorite animal.
A scary picture
I believe this is the only picture I actually took.
Ever heard "The Baby Sea Turtle Story"?
The Dessert Dome
Blake overlooking the Missouri River
AHHH!
This windmill was built in 1828.
A replica of a 600 AD viking house
Going up the windmill
The Vikings are here!
Wind turbines
Blake took this frightening picture. I have my mp3, my sunglasses and I'm ready to space off until we get to our destination.
Yesterday we went to the Omaha zoo, a Danish windmill museum and a Missouri River museum( I forgot the names). We left before 8 in the morning and got back round 8 at night! That is a long day for my family. Yet again,it is hard to describe, so I'll let the pictures do most of the work and I'll tell a few funny stories.
My family eats mostly only homemade food, so on vacation we eat junk food like Hostess cupcakes, Goldfish crackers, Capri Sun, granola bars, ect. When my mom bought the Capri Sun, my sister said,"I love cariisssun(that is how she pronounced it). I never thought you would buy me any!" LOL!
In Western Iowa, there are hundreds of wind turbines. My siblings got so excited whenever they saw one and started snapping pictures like crazy. Eventually, my dad said," Wind turbines are a dime a dozen, once you've seen one, you've seen them all." They disagreed.

caving

My family went caving yesterday. It was a 7 hour round trip(which is HUGE for us). Thanks to my somehow still working mp3 player, silly putty, and my humorous little sister, I survived. The caving part was fun, difficult and exhausting. It required crawling through 12 inch holes, getting soaked and bruised. It is hard to describe, so I'll let the pictures do the work.

This is an old church or schoolhouse that was by the highway on our way to caving. I fell in love with it and forced my parents to pull over and let me take a picture. I wanted to go inside to find out for sure what it was; but since that is illegal I made due with these. Isn't it the most quaint and charming thing?!? What do you think it is?

Church today-May 10th
Church was really funny today!
First, there was some hymnal dropping.
During children's time all the little kids passed out flowers to all the mothers. The whole thing was kind of funny to watch. Also, when they went by the "cool row", the childrens time lady said,"Who do we have here? Nope, no mothers." It was kind of embarrasing.
One little boy said"Give one to that lady".
The children's time lady said,"Which lady?"
"The one in the green shirt."
The lady in the green shirt was my mom. LOL!
There must have been some laughing gas in our Sunday School room because we couldn't stop laughing, even though nothing was really all that funny. Just our normal, wacky sunday school stuff, which some people might consider funny.

I love thrift stores
I went thrift shopping today and got a lot of awesome stuff! I got 2 ankle-length jean skirts (one is more comfortable than any sweatpants), 2 shirts(one is really unusual and cute), some pajama pants and a pair of boots. The boots are so awesome, but were really expensive and it nearly killed me, but I am glad I won't have to suffer next winter wearing flats to church. : )
I also found a shirts my friend Jessica and Gabby would have hated. The anti-jessica shirt was pink, had puffy sleeves and was covered in lace. I know how much you love lace Jessica ; ). Gabby hates puffed sleeves and the anti-gabby shirt had really puffy sleeves. I almost got them for them as a joke.

What I wish everyone could know
"I basically live my life against the grain of society. I try to please God, and He is the only person I care to please. I used to try to please people and be what others wanted me to be, but it was impossible and exhausting. One day I decided that it wasn't worth it, from now on, I was going to be 100% me, even if nobody liked me. Yes, I get called a freak almost everyday, I have been told I am boring, I have been told I am a geek, but I also get wonderful compliments almost as often, and life is so much easier! My goal is to show other people my age:
1.how easy and happy life can be if you try to please only one person, God, and be the person he wants you to be.
2. If society thinks you need to do it, you need to do the exact opposite.
3. Read everything you can find! watch the news! Do school for fun! Lean everything you possible can and be knowledgeable!
4. You are never too young!
5. Family is the most important thing you have.
6. Save money, learn some life skills, do your chores and prepare for the future!
7. Clothes don't matter, make-up doesn't matter, being skinny doesn't matter, things don't matter. Being the best you can be is what matters"

I am pathetic!
Yesterday, I realized that I am pathetic. At the library, my mom came up to me and said,"On one of the computers, someone just looked up bacteriology books. I wonder who it could be?" That person was me. Sadly, no library has a good bacteriology book selection. : ( Then she asked to see my books I was checking out. The titles were Mutations. Frugal families, Handwriting Analysis, Practical Goat Keeping and Farming and a few more science and money saving books. I said, "I'm pathetic, aren't I?" Mom laughed and said, "Kind of."
Tomorrow, I am going to a curriculum sale. I will sell books while my mom goes and buys some. I am really looking forward to it. How pathetic is that?!?!
While most people my age are reading Twilight, I am reading about the cause of mutations and how to save money. Rather odd, isn't it?

My all time favorite Bible verses, (NIV)
These are some of my all-time favorites. I am attempting to memorize all of them at the moment. It might take me a year. Yes, I know this is HUGE, but it is SO well worth reading, please do.
"Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good. 10Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Honor one another above yourselves. 11Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. 12Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer. 13Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.
14Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. 15Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn. 16Live in harmony with one another. Do not be proud, but be willing to associate with people of low position. not be conceited.
17Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to do what is right in the eyes of everybody. 18If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. 19Do not take revenge, my friends, but leave room for God's wrath, for it is written: "It is mine to avenge; I will repay,">[says the Lord. 20On the contrary:
"If your enemy is hungry, feed him;
if he is thirsty, give him something to drink.
In doing this, you will heap burning coals on his head."21Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good."- Romans 12:9-21
"You shall see greater things than that."-John 1:50b
"I consider that our present sufferings are not worth comparing with the glory that will be revealed in us."-Romans 8:18
"Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. 6Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."Col. 4:5-6
" 19"Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. 20But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal. 21For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
22"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are good, your whole body will be full of light. 23But if your eyes are bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!
24"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.
Do Not Worry
25"Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?28"And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. 29Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. 30If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? 31So do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' 32For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own."-Matthew 6:19-34
"1Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, 2and he began to teach them saying:
3"Blessed are the poor in spirit,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
4Blessed are those who mourn,
for they will be comforted.
5Blessed are the meek,
for they will inherit the earth.
6Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness,
for they will be filled.
7Blessed are the merciful,
for they will be shown mercy.
8Blessed are the pure in heart,
for they will see God.
9Blessed are the peacemakers,
for they will be called sons of God.
10Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness,
for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
11"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. 12Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you."-Matthew 5:1-12
"29If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell. 30And if your right hand causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to go into h---."- Matthew 5:29-20
" 38"You have heard that it was said, 'Eye for eye, and tooth for tooth.'39But I tell you, Do not resist an evil person. If someone strikes you on the right cheek, turn to him the other also. 40And if someone wants to sue you and take your tunic, let him have your cloak as well. 41If someone forces you to go one mile, go with him two miles. 42Give to the one who asks you, and do not turn away from the one who wants to borrow from you."- Matthew 5:38-42
"43"You have heard that it was said, 'Love your neighbor hate your enemy.' 44But I tell you: Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, 45that you may be sons of your Father in heaven. He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous. 46If you love those who love you, what reward will you get? Are not even the tax collectors doing that? 47And if you greet only your brothers, what are you doing more than others? Do not even pagans do that? 48Be perfect, therefore, as your heavenly Father is perfect."- Matthew 5:43-48
This one is my very favorite!
"You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its saltiness, how can it be made salty again? It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men."You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 15Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl. Instead they put it on its stand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 16In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good deeds and praise your Father in heaven."- Matthew 5:13-16
"1 My son, do not forget my teaching,
but keep my commands in your heart,
2 for they will prolong your life many years
and bring you prosperity.
3 Let love and faithfulness never leave you;
bind them around your neck,
write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 Then you will win favor and a good name
in the sight of God and man.
5 Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
6 in all your ways acknowledge him,
and he will make your paths straight.
7 Do not be wise in your own eyes;
fear the LORD and shun evil.
8 This will bring health to your body
and nourishment to your bones.
9 Honor the LORD with your wealth,
with the firstfruits of all your crops;
10 then your barns will be filled to overflowing,
and your vats will brim over with new wine.
11 My son, do not despise the LORD's discipline
and do not resent his rebuke,
12 because the LORD disciplines those he loves,
as a father the son he delights in." -Proverbs 3:1-12
This one I need to work on!
"The wise heart accepts commands, but a chattering fool come to a ruin."-Proverbs 10:8
"Like a gold ring in a pig's snout
is a beautiful woman who shows no discretion." Proverbs 11:22
Another good one
"A man of many companions may come to ruin,
but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother."- Proverbs 18:24
and when he is old he will not turn from it." Proverbs 22:6
"Like a bird that strays from its nest
is a man who strays from his home."- Proverbs 27:8
" 1 The LORD is my light and my salvation—
whom shall I fear?
The LORD is the stronghold of my life—
of whom shall I be afraid?
2 When evil men advance against me
to devour my flesh,
when my enemies and my foes attack me,
they will stumble and fall.
3 Though an army besiege me,
my heart will not fear;
though war break out against me,
even then will I be confident.
4 One thing I ask of the LORD,
this is what I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the LORD
all the days of my life,
to gaze upon the beauty of the LORD
and to seek him in his temple.
5 For in the day of trouble
he will keep me safe in his dwelling;
he will hide me in the shelter of his tabernacle
and set me high upon a rock.
6 Then my head will be exalted
above the enemies who surround me;
at his tabernacle will I sacrifice with shouts of joy;
I will sing and make music to the LORD.
7 Hear my voice when I call, O LORD;
be merciful to me and answer me.
8 My heart says of you, "Seek his face!"
Your face, LORD, I will seek.
9 Do not hide your face from me,
do not turn your servant away in anger;
you have been my helper.
Do not reject me or forsake me,
O God my Savior.
10 Though my father and mother forsake me,
the LORD will receive me.
11 Teach me your way, O LORD;
lead me in a straight path
because of my oppressors.
12 Do not turn me over to the desire of my foes,
for false witnesses rise up against me,
breathing out violence.
13 I am still confident of this:
I will see the goodness of the LORD
in the land of the living.
14 Wait for the LORD;
be strong and take heart
and wait for the LORD." - Psalms 27
Congratulation! If you read this whole thing, I am very proud of you. That was my life motto.

An interesting, weird and funny dream
I had a dream a few days ago that I was going around a nearby town sharing the Gospel with people and inviting them to my church. I vividly remember two teenage girls that lived immoral lives that I was very determine to get to church. I asked them to come with me, but they were hesitant. I told them,"You REALLY need to come to church with me!" I was not giving up on them.

Pictures of a random old church

The steeple
The church was established in 1892. this is a close up of the sign
Gabby and I
The back
A house owned by the church. In a book we have there is a picture of it from the 1800's, it was really beautiful then.
I went to my friend Gabby's house today and I took some pictures of this church, that is in her town. It is no longer in use, but I always love to walk by it and thought I'd take some pictures to share. Some are just random shots to show you all sides, and a few are attempted photography.

My Easter and Piano
My Easter started out at 2 o'clock am, not because I wanted it to, but because I couldn't sleep. I stayed in bed halfway awake for 3 1/2 hours. At 5:30, we got up and found our Easter stuff and got ready for Sunrise Service at 7:00, (good service Tenny-from my mom). It took my whole family less than an hour to get ready, and we looked better than we do when we spend a few hours circulating through. Hmmmm.......
There was a surprisingly large amount of people at the Sunrise Service, considering it was at 7 am. I originally wasn't looking forward to it, but I am glad we went. I enjoyed it a lot. After service, we had breakfast. It is a tradition in our church for the men to prepare the breakfast on Easter. This year, my brother Blake joined in and made eggs (YUCK!).
When finished breakfast, I went up stairs to play piano. After I played a few songs, Alice came up and said something like,"The microphone is on and we can here you downstairs; it sounds beautiful." When I saw Sara later, she asked me if her mom(the pianist) ever found me. Apparently, she heard my practicing and wanted me to play for church. My reaction was both excited and terrified. When she found me, I went through a few song with her and chose a few to play during the biggest service of the year (59 people).
I played the prelude(Sweet Hour of Prayer), Spirit of the Living God and Nothing but the Blood. I had a lot of fun and think I did a good job. While walking back to the "cool row", I was bombarded with compliments, which was rather enjoyable. I am also going to play everything for a service in June. So exciting.....
At family lunch, we played Apples to Apples and had an Easter egg hunt. We found an empty egg in my horse Jack's pasture. Apparently he ate it. LOL! Apples to Apples was awesome, we had like 12 people playing. It was funny and awkward, just like the last time we played.
Since I only got a few hours of sleep, I felt like the living dead for most of the day, but it was a great day anyway.

My unexpected Sunday
After church this week, I went to my first wedding shower with Chris and Katie. Since I went with them, Nate went to our house to hang out with my brothers. The wedding shower was for their older sister Rebecca. Since we had a few hours to spend before the shower, we went to lunch at Panera and Wal-mart. I had a really, really awesome time!!!!!!!!!!

Pray for Elvis


I just found out my kitty Elvis probably has mouth cancer. He has a malignant tumor on his bottom lip and his upper lip is stiff, hard and swollen. Other than that, he is healthy. There is nothing, within reason and budget, that we can do for him. If it gets to the point he can't eat, we will have to put him to sleep. I hope that point never comes. It took all I had not to start bawling at the vet's office. Thank goodness I didn't! Poor baby, he has had so much trauma in his three years!

Fire?!?
The regular picture
The color enhanced picture
A couple of days ago, we had this fire not too far away from our house. I took this picture right outside our front door. I'm not sure what was on fire. Does anyone have any ideas.

We're moving : (
It is with a heavy heart that I write this last post. My dad's job was transferred to Wolf Point Montana. :( We won't have a computer there for a while, so I'm not going to be able to blog for a few months. I'll really miss my friends, family, activities and church here. : ( So, bye for now. :'(
