Your Hostess:


Hello there! Thanks for stopping by. I'm your hostess Lady Rachel, and this is the blog of a fourteen-year-old girl, who is striving to become a woman of God. I am a homeschool student, living on our small hobby farm with my 7 siblings, from ranging from ages 18-1yo. Take a look at my life as the 3rd daughter from a large homeschooling family and how God walks with me through it. Blessings!

The Trip Down to the Suarez's and Takin' a Detour to North Carolina!

Posted in News

Ok, so I am sitting here. Doing nothing. In fact, there is nothing to do. So, I'll tell you about the trip down here, and why we got here at 4am when we left at 6:33pm.

Dad got home around 5:30, and he got everything ready to go. He rented a car to drive down instead of the van.We stopped once in Kentucky.  We were making good time until we got into TN. Then Amanda saw a sign for White Pines. We went all the North Carolina! She thought that White Pines was in TN. So we went about 50 miles and then Dad and Amanda realized we weren't in the right state. And the bad of it was we were almost on E! That was really scary. Amanda was freaking out about it. Plus the roads were so curving, oh boy, it was nuts!

We stopped in the next town coming back and got gas. Then we were on our way again. We didn't get there until 4am, but we made it. Paulie and Levi were up waiting for us. We came in and went upstairs and set all of our stuff down. Then Amanda got on the computer and did some stuff. Paulie and Levi 'tested' the games they are going to be playing. :)

Levi was working on an entry. Paulie wouldn't let him when we got here. Levi wanted to stay up all night but Paulie told him they would need at least some sleep. So they went to bed around 5:30am and got up around 10:30-something. We got up and Levi and Luke were up. Then Dad took a shower and then we talked for about a bit about Schooter and how naughty he has been. Levi did the dishes that were in there, then he made some coffee.

The three boys got to open their birthday gifts. They were all pillow cases. Paulie's has a Tux on it. Luke's has a chess king on it. Levi's was just a camping background that matches his blog. :) They had fun with it. Ok, that is all. Amanda and Paulie want to get on and learn how to play this game...

Sincerely,
  Lady Rachel


I hope you have enjoyed reading the thoughts of a fourteen-year-old girl from the country."You can do all things through CHRIST who strengthens you!" Philippians 4:13

Oh my, only 5 hrs of sleep! Aren't you tired? I usually need atleast 6 1/2 to 7 hours to feel rested.

Well, I just wanted to stop by and see how you were doing. =]

You're right, femininity is often seen as being weak, submissive, and peaceful. Yes, we as women are called to submit to our authority, but we absolutely cannot toss aside our "warrior princess" nature. Women nurture, and fight for the people they care about. And yes, thanks, I'm doing well. :)
