I love watching ballets! I watched Cinderella last night, which was pretty good, if I do say so myself. In picture three, the girl in the front, with the blue dress on, and the handkerchief in her head, that's Cinderella.

I'm sorry the pictures aren't very good I kept getting a glare.

Enjoy!!!!!!!!!

Thanksgiving reminders

Hey guys!
Since it's getting to the busy time of the year. I just thought I'd share something about Thanksgiving that I thought might intrest ya'll.
According to the Random house dictionary the meaning of Thankfulness and contentment is this.
Thankful- feeling or expressing graditude or appreciation.
Content- satisfied with what a person is or has; not wanting more or anything else.
Here are some verses that you can use to remind yourself on to be thankful on Thanksgiving. ;)

Philippians 4:11
"Not that I speak in respect for want: for I have learned in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content." We should accept whatever God has planned for your life.

1. Thessalonians 5:18
"In everything give thanks: this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." We should expressing to God and others the ways they have shown kindness to you.

Some other verses you can look up on your own are
Psalm 100:4
Amos 4:5
1 Timothy 4:3,4

These are all great verses for Thanksgiving.
Remember, It's God's will that we be thankful. He wants us to be content and show graditude!!!
Don't lose focus this Thanksgiving!! :)

My many hobbies. (it runs in the blood)

You know guys, sometimes I want to do to much all at one time. Does anyone else have this problem? I mean, I go through phases where I am really into this, or that, or that over there. Then after a week or so it either gets old, or I find something new to occupy me. Well, the other day I found out where I get this "attraction thing" from. Daddy!! It all comes from daddy. He has the same problem. Except his interests deal more with manly stuff. Whereas mine of course are girlish matters! :)

Presidential requests

Sorry, I know I already blogged once tonight, but I'm curious about something. I really want to know what everyone thinks of our 44 president. Do not be rude, but please share your thoughts with me, leave a comment!
Why do or don't you like him? How will our country turn out?

The relaxed night I ruined

I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!!! One thing is for sure, I'm sorry for not blogging very much. You see this time I have an excuse other than school. It all happened because of our spam protection program is ssoooo not letting me sign into my blog! Only dear mother knows the password, so I had to find a time when she wasn't busy (rarely) to ask her to turn the spam guard off. Finely, tonight she sat down and seemed rather relaxed. I immediately jumped on the opportunity to get the thing turned OFF.
Well, at least that's kind of the way it happened, anyone who knows me personally knows I tend to exaggerate on certain issues (no comment) I think it runs in the blood.......................

My School Schedule

I'm sorry I've not blogged in about a week or two. Seriously though, I have a lot of school work that keeps me busy, I also have a brother who keeps me on my toes!
Just to give you a piece of how busy I am, I'll tell you some of my school subjects I have to do.
First there's Literature, (with the book I'm reading now, I read about six short chapters a day.)Then logic, math, geography, Latin, and science. Each of these subjects together takes me 5 to 6 hours a day. This may not sound like to much, but trust me, it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Annis

Hey Guys!
I just wanted to show you a picture of what my pet rabbit looks like!

Her name is Annis, and I love her!

Four New Guests!!

The other visitors are my grand-parents that have come to live with us for a week. They just came in yesterday, and we've had a great time since!

What do you think?

Hey by way, feel free to let your friends and other people know about my blog.
I'm very thankful to the two people who did leave me comments, but where are the rest?? Let me know you're out their people!!!!!!!

Columbus day!

Happy Columbus Day guys!!
Today my dad gets off of work, it almost feels like Saturday,but not quite. We still have to do school today, but that's alright. I'm practically finished and I even started late!
I'm getting hungry, it's almost lunchtime!!
I'll update you later with more on what we're doing on this beautiful Columbus Day.

What a day!

Here's my first entry into my blog!
Today was a really great day! Every year our town has an annual festival. There's a street fair, with lots of yummy food, and things to buy, and even a band that is playing. It's a great time to fellowship with friends. Then at 1:00 everyone gathers on either side of the main road, for a big parade! Floats, antique cars, and local schools and churches all walked by, waved,or threw out candy to the people on the side of the road.( Including me!)
I think everyone in our town looks forward to this day of the year. It's the only day we get to rise horses around town!
