But thought that you were strage and talked badley about you behind your back and you pretended you didn't hear it?! And then all of a sudden you found someone that was just like you and did the same things you did and excpierinced the same things that you did, Then after a while you found out really cool things about eachother and you stayed friends for a long time! all This has happened to me  before.

When I saw one I almost fainted. It sure was mind boggling to see a footprint that could "squash you like a bug." How would you feel if you saw a dinasaur footprint? I got to step in the river and feel the footprint. It is funny because you would just be walking around and step into a big hole and you realize it's a footprint. Too cool! I wish my friends were there to see it with me I bet they would think it was cool to. I'll update you on other things later. See ya ~Kaitlin http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KaitlinRose/229208/ Mon, 30 Oct 2006 15:29:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KaitlinRose/229208/ Hi everyone! yesterday my Dad left for Minnesota because he needed to do something for his buisness. I really miss my friends in Minnesota!I hope I get to see them soon! My Dad said when he got home Callie, my moms cat, was even fatter than last time and I thought she was fat before. Isn't that funny? I miss my dog Kacy so much -she is a golden retriver. I was going to download the picture of me and my cousin but my Dad has the camera! http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KaitlinRose/228692/ Sun, 29 Oct 2006 14:16:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KaitlinRose/228692/ I'm in Texas right now visiting my great-grandmather in hospice. She is in the stage were she is seeing angels and doors, which I think the doors represent the gateways to heaven.   Yesterday was my birthday and at 11:21 last night I was offically 11yrs old. I went with my mom and my grandmather to see the movie Flicka, and it was great! We took a small break from visiting Nanna. I found out in the movie "Flicka" means beautiful in every way, and  when my mom heard that, she said I was a "Flicka" and I smiled. I reccomend this movie.   I also went to a neat restaurant where we had good 'ol southern chicken, mashed potatos, green beens and biscuit's. After I ate, the waitresses placed a chicken hat on my head and put a cone cup in mouth and they asked me what age I wanted to be and I said 16. They yelled out my name and the age I chose and told me to flap like a chicken as they sang the birthday song. After that my family and I were laughing so hard, becuase I was a silly chicken. When we stoped laughing the birthday biscut came out with a candle in it and everybody said, "Make a wish and  blow out the candle!" However, since I was full I only had a few bites. It was a fun night last night, and a great birthday after all.    ~Kaitlin     http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KaitlinRose/227266/ Thu, 26 Oct 2006 18:30:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KaitlinRose/227266/ I am excited about this suumer, because we have a lot going on, and we have my friend Thomas staying with us during the day.  At the end of May I had my state testing and scored really well.  Mom was so happy that she said we could take off for a few weeks and just have fun.  The two weeks are over and now Thomas is with us, so we are back to a schedule (bummer).  I don't mind though, because Thomas and I have alot of fun together.  We have a swimming pool in our back yard so when the weather is hot we get to swim in the afternoons.  Tomorrow we are going to the free summer movies at our local movie theater.  A few of my homeschool friends and I will be meeting with our Moms and going to see the movie DREAMER.  Ya know, the movie about a horse.  Anyway, I will fill you in more when I get the chance.   What are some of your summer plans?  http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KaitlinRose/150578/ Tue, 13 Jun 2006 22:55:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KaitlinRose/150578/ Here is a letter I wrote to some missionaries.  The missionaries I chose are Rebecca and Brad Hopkins, who are with Mission Aviation Fellowship.  They  use airplanes, computers and other technology to overcome barriers to the Gospel around the world. They bring food, doctors, medicine, pastors, missionaries and Bibles into hard-to-reach areas.   Hi my name is Kaitlin and I am ten years old. I saw your website and I cannnot believe you caught a shark in Japan! That sounds so cool! I hope to be a missionary some day just like you guys. What made you want to become a Missionary? Do you have any prayer requests, because my family and I could pray for them?  ~Kaitlin   Brad & Rebecca's Response To My Letter:   Kaitlin,             Thank you so much for your email your interest in our ministry. That was so cool to get your email. We are excited about your interest in being a missionary some day. We have been a missionary in Indonesia for a year and we really feel like we get to be part of God’s work here.             Here are our stories of how we became missionaries. My husband, Brad, always wanted to be a pilot when he grew up, but he wanted to be a military pilot. Then he volunteered with a youth ministry and grew to really enjoy serving God in that way. But he still wanted to fly. So, he talked with his pastor and his pastor told him about the opportunity to work as a missionary pilot. Mission Aviation Fellowship uses planes to get into hard-to-reach areas (places where there are no roads, so it takes days to travel on foot to get to a hospital, for example). So, he went to college to become a missionary pilot. Then we moved to Indonesia last year. We have been in language school, but we move in a couple days to another island in Indonesia where Brad will begin flying.             Here’s my story of wanting to become a missionary. My dad was in the Army, so I grew up moving around a lot. It was hard to always leave my friends and start with new friends. But I grew to really appreciate and rely on my relationship with God. When I went to college, I volunteered with a youth ministry and grew to love helping other people discover how much God loves them. I met Brad and we dated for a few years. Then we got married and a few years later we became missionaries.             We so much appreciate your interest in praying for us. Here are some things you can pray for:             -Pray that our move to the island of Borneo (in Indonesia) goes well—that we can settle in, and find new friends.             -Pray for safety for Brad when he flies.             -Pray for opportunities to share God’s love with the Muslims in Indonesia.             -Pray for love and unity in our marriage.             -Pray for continued closeness to God.                         Kaitlin, please tell us how we can be praying for you. We would love to get to know you more and keep in touch.             Thanks again for your email and your interest!   God bless you and your family! -Rebecca for the Hopkins   Do you have a missionary that you keep in contact with. If so, can you tell me about them.                                                                                                          http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KaitlinRose/123953/ Tue, 25 Apr 2006 12:26:00 -0500 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KaitlinRose/123953/ picture of my house with snow (right before Christmas).   This is a picture of my house with snow before Christmas.  Guess what?  In the last two days we got even more!  I am so excited because now we can keep going sledding down at the school that has a big hill.  I also made the bottom for my snowman, but I need to finish it.  I LOVE SNOW!   Do you have snow where you live?       http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KaitlinRose/61931/ Sat, 31 Dec 2005 11:25:00 -0600 http://www.homeschoolblogger.com/KaitlinRose/61931/
