Hey Guys, this is for school work. My mom wanted me to take pictures outside and write about them, for writing. I'll probably have to do this every week, maybe every two weeks. So here it is, it's not very good though.
Picture 1:
Picture 1, is of a lake, the neighbours lake. Of course I didn't go in to take this picture, it was taken from the road. As you can see, it's surrounded by the woods. They use the lake to go fishing in, I don't see them go down there as much as they used to. If I had a lake, I'd keep it clean and swim in it!
Picture 2:
Picture 2 is of hills and trees. It's much prettier in person though. My Aunt Deedy has a camper in our woods, which is where I took the picture. I'm in the camper right now. It's very nice
(I'm not really in the camper, but I was whenever I wrote that).
Picture 3:
Picture 3, is a picture of a Pepsi can lying on the ground. It's in our woods, but I didn't put it there. Whoever put it on the ground should've out it in a recycle bin, or at least thrown it away! I would have. This picture, represents littering.
Picture 4:
Picture 4, is again in our woods! It's actually a small area. I think it'd be nice to go camping there. I like camping. This place is flat, and surrounded by trees. I like the way the sun's shining through. It makes the picture very pretty.
Picture 5:
Picture 5 is a picture of my Aunt Deedy's camper. I like to go down there to the camper and listen to music and other things. It's nice down there, very quiet though. Sometimes I spend the night down there. I like doing that.
Alright so, my assignment is now done!!! :D But I'll probably post later, maybe later on tonight, or maybe tomorrow. Sorry if I don't by the way......
I know it's been a long time since I last blogged, but I'm really not that into it anymore. I've been so busy with trying to juggle so many activities and stuff that I can never find the time to update my blog or comment on friends blogs.
I did have the time to change my blog design though and it took me about 3 days to finish it.
So, what is everyone doing for Halloween?
I'm going to be going over to a party at my friends house so that should be fun. I don't really do the costume or the trick-or-treat thing anymore. Usually I just hand out candy to little kids who come to our house.
I dyed my hair on Wednesday. I've never dyed my hair before but I thought I would try it and see if I liked it or not. It turned out really dark and it looks black. I'll probably post some pictures in the next few days.
Let's see. In school I've been listening to CD's on the French Revolution and I am almost done with my 11th grade curriculum. Hopefully I'll be able to finish it before Christmas and start on the 12th grade curriculum.
I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but it's always been my goal to finish all of my school curriculum and go to Technical College in my 12th grade year since the State will pay for my tuition and books. I'll probably go into something like Web Design since I love experimenting with HTML and stuff like that.
Well that's all for now. Hope everyone has a good Halloween!!

Hopeful Farm Foundation
Posted By
funkyleo
Hey Guys! So this is important, we know these people who are doing a thing called Hopeful Farm Foundation, which, I think this post will pretty well explain this. It's actually someone else's email that I want to copy and paste so I can show you guys this. It hasn't quite gotten completely started yet, we have to raise $74,000 dollars or more.......So if anyone wants to make a donation that'd be great! I've already made a donation by the way, it was $75 dollars, it's not much, but it will help, any little bit helps. :) So here's the post:
Dear Friends,
I would like to take a moment this morning to invite you and your children to participate in a very special event that is going on this week - something your family is just going to love to be a part of!
Many of you are familiar with our company publishing company Remembrance Press, home of the The Gift of Family Writing and The Girlhood Home Companion. This summer we began a new chapter in our lives with the founding of Hopeful Farm, a non-profit organization based in Kentucky that ministers to families impacted by special needs.
The vision for Hopeful Farm was planted in our hearts ten years ago, after the birth and death of their fourth child, Nicholas, who was born with a genetic syndrome. Now, Hopeful Farm is finally becoming a reality.
The mission of Hopeful Farm is truly unique and much needed as it seeks to provide an all-access environment in which families impacted by special needs may find time to focus on each other, build relationships, and gain refreshment and renewal in an escape from the exhausting grind of everyday life.
This is the first time Hopeful Farm has held a benefit of this magnitude, and you will not believe the resources that are being donated as a thank you for your participation. If you have been wanting some of my writing or drawing products to enrich your home school curriculum, not to mention our resources for mothers and daughters, this is something you have to see! www.hopefulfarmfoundation.org/benefit.htm
Not only that, but my publishing friends have donated some incredible resources as well, as a way to bless you for becoming involved in this very important work. Your family can have a direct impact on families with children with special needs - and in return, your own family will receive a blessing from all of the wonderful companies that have offered their products in support of Hopeful Farm.
If you would like to hear what Hopeful Farm is all about, you can access an online interview by Cindy Rushton with my daughter Claire and I at www.hopefulfarmfoundation.org/interview.html
This benefit will run for one week only until Sunday, October 5th, so take a look now...and please tell a friend or three or four about it!
I did read this by the way, and I'll be doing a lot more Sign Language, and I'll also be teaching some to the family who's doing it (even though I don't know it all the way lol). If you guys can donate that's great, if not, that's fine to. :) Well, I guess I'll just end my post, so bye.

Oh we're going to the Fair, fair, fair.......

Well we went to the MN State Fair last Thursday and it was a blast! I made a commitment to eat the weirdest food I could find....I was going to try the chocolate covered bacon but I decided to try alligator instead. Suprisingly it was very good....it was kind of chewy but it tasted like chicken otherwise......
Beverly had a lot of fun when we went through the little kids barn where you got to learn about different animals and stuff. She really enjoyed driving the John Deere tractor....
And David? David was playing his air guitar while we were waiting for the skateboard show to start.
I must say that the highlight of the day was when my dad and I went on the Skyscraper.
I had been planning to go on this ride for two years but kept chickening out....this year I decided to actually go. Sorry we couldn't get a picture of the whole ride but you can virtually experience it on this video from youtube. I think it was definitly worth it. I had a blast!
This was taken at the end of the day when we were riding the bus back to where the van was parked. And in case you're wondering David has cotton candy all over his face.....

I Know.....It's Amazing That I Actually Updated My Blog.....
Posted By
Angel of Music
Sorry to everyone for not updating my blog in so long but life has been kinda hectic. It will probably take me awhile to catch up on all my comments and everyone's new blog entries but I'll make a point of spending a couple of minutes each day on my blog....and I'll try to write more often.
Let's see....since the last time I wrote I went to a family reunion at the beginning of August. It was at my aunt and uncle's house on the lake. David and Beverly got to go swimming for the first time in their lives and they had a blast! They also got to go to the County Fair and rode some rides.
I started school about two weeks ago and I am currently studying the American Revolution and the founding of America.
On Thursday we're all going to the State Fair so that should be fun.....well thats all for now.
Here are some pictures of my older sister Jennifer (26) and her husband and my nieces and nephews. My newest niece was born on the 4th of July this year.
Hey Everybody! Check out the new Converse shoes I'm going to get for my birthday in another week...they're on the left sidebar. You should check out all the cool shoes they have at Zappos.com too!
As you can see I haven't posted in awhile. I have good reasons for that anyway, one of them is because I got sick, one of the medicines I was on, that was new, did some weird stuff to me. I got better 3 or 4 days ago. I wasn't really phycisally sick, but mentally, I remember it was 2 weeks and I was constantly crying and I did 2 other things that I won't mention, I wasn't myself obviously. For those of you who saw my mom's posts you know what happened, I did a couple of crazy things, or tried, but it's over. The medicine was Lodrane 24 and I was taking Asthma medicine (steroids), I had to drink lots of water to get it out of my system. So I've been better for about a week. For those of you who were prayng for me, thank you, that was really scary and I'm happy that it's over with now.
Wow it has been forever since I wrote but this time I have a very good reason. I don't know how many of you knew that my parents were adopting two kids from Haiti (a boy and a girl) but it took us 3 years to finally get them home and now their here!!! Their names are Beverly (almost 5) and David (almost 3). Our house has been very chaotic since they came about three weeks ago. I have a couple of pictures I want to post that I took.
This is David. This picture pretty much sums up his whole personality. He loves to be the center of attention and is always willing to have his picture taken.
This is Beverly. I'm sorry I don't have any pictures of her smiling but she is just as outgoing as David is.
Here we all are at the Beach.......
Besides getting a new brother and sister so much has been going on. I got a job at McDonalds!!! I have been working there about a month and I really really love it. I have been working an average of about 20 hours a week and sometimes I don't get off until midnight but I still love it anyway.
I finished my drivers ed (yes!) and now I am waiting for something from the State of Minnesota saying that I can take my permit test and then I can start driving (look out world!)
That is pretty much all that has been going on in my life but while I was gone Aliveagain13 gave me an award! Whoo-hoo!!!
This is a place where I can be myself and be inspired to be who I am and do what I love!!! I am planning on going to college on being a beautician/hairdresser. I love cutting hair and putting in highlights and stuff! *Ahem* Sorry, mra.
You scored as Green. Green is mostly associated with 'envy' but it best suits the description of freshness, rebirth and renewal. You believe that sometimes it is best to start things fresh just for the energising buzz an adventure gives you. And this is what you are all about; adventure. You love exploring, testing the limits and reaching out to what is out there.
You scored as Darkness. Darkness isn't a bad thing at all! So don't worry. Just like darkness you like to be independent and to do things by yourself. You tend to turn a blind eye to things you don't want to see, or things you don't want to change. You can be brutally honest, its good in some ways, because someone has to tell these people. You can be self-centered and mostly concerned about yourself, but if anything happens to anyone you love, your right there defending their honor. You tend to dominate a room, and people who love everything tend to bug you, or annoy you. More than anything you want to be wanted and recgonized. Please Tell me what you think! Negative feedback VERY welcome! Tell me how to fix it! :)
