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.

college test
I went to take a college entrance exam today and I did really well. I scored well enough that I could go to college right now. I JUST FINISHED 8th GRADE!

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....

weed eating looked fun, so I tried it
I just got inside from my first time weed eating(yes, I'm almost 15 and have never weed eated before) and it was really fun! It wasn't as hard as I expected, but Blake and Mom said the weed eater sounded like it was going to explode. I had it on full speed the whole time AND when I wrote my name in the grass I kind of ripped out all the grass. Whops!!!!!!
Fair Pictures
I entered 5 pictures this year in the county fair and I won 4 blue ribbons and 1 red ribbon.

Skipping church from a church lovers point of view
Here is another email I sent that I found funny. We have a joint meeting at a nearby church once a year, but as far as I know, actually nobody goes. I was talking to our pastor this morning, and he suggested that instead of calling it "(name of nearby town withheld) Fun Days Joint Meeting, we could call this Sunday "Skip day'." How true! But, it is a nice break for the teachers, music leaders and pastor the needed it.
Hi Jessica,
Hi Jessica,
No church today. It's 7:00 am and I am drinking my coffee, haven't gotten ready for church and haven't had breakfast. It's insanely weird. I haven't skipped church for like 8 months. On a regular Sunday, I would probably be getting ready now. Today I am planning on cleaning my room (never got to it yesterday. Two days of motivation is too much), possibly getting my hair cut and highlighted, and possibly going to the creek
: D and defiantly playing piano. Kinda relaxing though having no much to do.
Pancakes are getting cold.
will write later
Savannah !
We only miss church if the weather is awful or someone is really, really sick and not being at church on Sunday is SO WEIRD and almost wrong!

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.
Procrastination
This is an email I sent to a friend a few minutes ago. I thought it was kind of funny.
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?
