Symphony Picture

Me during the last symphony concert of the school year.  I swiped if off the University's website ;)

I took a few pictures while I was coming home...

Remember my joy last week coming home from violin lessons.

Check out this week!!

(my apologizes, it was raining a little, I was driving, and it's a camera phone)
 
  
It was HUGE!! I don't know if you can see or not but there is a 2nd rainbow off to the left.  It's faint. You could see it better in person.

I took this one while stopped at a stop sign.  Don't worry, I didn't try to do this one while moving!
Spring is offically here!! The farmers are plowing the fields!! I tried to take a picture but I was driving and it came out fuzzy, sorry.
So... I guess I will be giving you all a weekly update...

This week
  • It snowed on Monday
  • It was 70 degrees on Wednesday
  • I threw out some of the ribs on my left side. They are back in place now, I'm a little sore though...
  • Learned the hard way to just ask for help and not just do it all myself.
  • Ate too much candy
  • Found out the proper way to say observatory. ObSURRvatory (compliments of Luke)
  • Played Clue and Life with Luke yesterday, it was loads of fun. Luke wasn't happy until he got to be a computer technician (Life) like David!
  • Bought a pinneapple ;-)
  • Went to the mall in D____ to go to Maurices. Remembered Maurices moved outside the mall and went to American Eagle instead. Apparently we walked right by Tom at the mall and didn't see him. oppss...
  • Bought some new jeans that are actually long enough on me. Do you know how hard it is to find pants long enough for long legs!! VERY! I think we went in 3 stores and only one of them had pants that were long but not a 0!
  • Only got 50% of the things on my to do list for the week done. So far there is nothing on the list for next week so... maybe I can get the other 50% done.
  • Went to Borders today. I love book shopping.. now if I only had $1,000,000....

3 random things that have nothing to do with each other

1) Mom took Luke to sign up for baseball.  He came home all excited because and I quote "The field!!!! It has a DUGOUT!"


2) The "change" faze that is sweeping the political arena is bothering me.  We had local elections last week and no one I voted for won.  Why, well because they believe in the way America was.  They vote based on what is moral and right.  Not what is different and what needs to change. For instance homeschooling laws...
People!!! Vote for what is RIGHT not what is different!


3) It snowed yesterday, today it was 65.

There... I think that about sums up my week.... I did a couple things for K4K in there somewhere...I've been trying to plow my way through Jane Austen's Emma.. for some reason I just can't get into it. Northanger Abbey wasn't a problem. Next week my goal outside of normal stuff is to get my room cleaned and go through my clothes and get rid of what I don't need before summer comes.
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
  For the earnest expectaion of the creature waiteth for the manifestataion of the sons of God.
  For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope.
  Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
  For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now.
  And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
  For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is not hope': for what a man seeth why doth he yet hope for?
  But if we hope for that we see not, then do we with patience wait for it.

~ Romans 8

If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God's purpose is not simply to make us beautiful plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us.
~Oswald Chambers

It is my firm belief that

if everyone lived in a small town the world would be a better place.

BTW, in case you couldn't tell.. I LOVE LOVE living in a small town community.  I'm making a list of all the reasons why I love it :)
