Hello, all! Okay… so my commitment to post twice a week lasted for a long time…. and I blame the weather. :) It has been extremely hot, my house doesn’t have A/C, and the computer happens to be in the hotest area of the house. Hence, I’ve been doing very little on the computer.

     As far as what I’ve been doing: I am almost done with last year’s schoolwork, and I will be starting school again on Monday. If I can get my lazy self to take my last math test from last year, I’ll have two days off of school before we start again. :) I have every good intention of not getting behind this year. We’ll see how long that lasts… 
     We will be doing some extra things this year that would tend to put me behind, so staying on schedule (idealy ahead) is going to take some extra effort. We will most likely be taking music lessons this year (!!!), and we will also have Friday Quizzing, which will take a few precious hours out of our school time every week. I know I’ll have a lot less free time, but I am looking forward to everything (except history and english…).

     Right now is kind of a transition time for my family… everybody seems to be moving out of state. My youth pastor moved up to Wisconsin to go to Northland Baptist Bible College to get his master’s degree. That was really sad… he is coming back during Christmas break, spring break, summer break, etc., but we’re all going to miss him!! Our children’s pastor will be our youth pastor while he’s at college, so we won’t be without a youth pastor, which is nice.
     My Uncle Brian and family are moving down to Arizona to start a camp. They leave tomorrow, if all goes as planned. We are going to miss them, too!
     And then a neighbor down the street moved to Pennsylvania last Friday. She is a dear elderly lady who is always full of the joy of the Lord. We all love her, and were sad to see her go.
     I know I will miss all these people very much, but I am excited that they are all following the Lord’s leading in their lives. I know that none of them necessarily wanted to go, but they all were willing to. I thank God for such godly people in my life!

     Well, I am starving, so I need to go eat some lunch! Ya’ll have a great day! In Christ,
