What Happens When Mother (Me) is Gone

These are some pictures of what happened last semester. The one weekend I went home my roommate and one of my good friends decided to have some fun with my stuffed animals. Apparently they were up late and were just a little crazy that night. When I got back they just kept on talking about elmo and about his adventures, but I never knew or found out what happened until today. I was looking at my friends pics on facebook and came across these five. They are funny but I can't believe some of them.

This one I dont think has a purpose but all of those things are mine.

Elmo on Amanda's laptop.
Casey with my elmo and the bear Caleb got me.

I called this one their meeting for payback.

Youth Fun

Last Friday Pastor Gary had this really funny game to play. We usually don't play games mainly because we don't have time or we can't think of one. If you know of the game with an orange or a small ball that you hold with your neck and pass it from neck to neck down a line. That is kinda what we played but we played it with a kickball and you had to hold it in your armpit and pass it from armpit to armpit down the line. It was really funny and they played older vs. younger. We played it twice and the score was 1 vs. 1 so for the tie-breaker they had to do it with their eyes closed. They all had so much fun with it and us leaders had fun watching them.

Here is the older team all in their line ready to play.

Here is Ashley and one of the other girls trying to pass the ball.
Sorry but my camera died before I could get a picture of the younger ones.

Inauguration '09

Today was the Inauguration of President Barak Obama and at chapel they had the live feed of the event playing before worship and after worship. It was neat to see the things that were happening and have a chance to pray together as a school and to pray for our new president. I didn't get to see him be sworn in because I has a class. But during prayer I was praying for him, his family, President Bush, and his family as they all go through a change in their life. I hope that you all are also praying for President Obama and the chooses he is going to have to make over the next four years. I hope you are also praying that God will be right beside him helping him make the right choose and that President Obama will listen to what God has to say to him.

It is neat to see an African American become a president. I am glad to see this nation move on from the past and embrace a change. I know that not everyone is ready for this change but I pray that soon they will be ready and enjoy the changes in our nation and in the world.

Oh no Lindsay dont eat yourself

Ok this duck was really loud and annoying. Then he started to act what i thought was really strange so I had to get a video of him going nuts.

Farm Show '09

Saturday me and a few of my friends went to the farm show. It was the first day it opened and it was the only day I could go because I had to be at school the next day. It was so much fun and really really crowded. What really surprised us all is that Robyn had come in first for her photo album. It was nicely displayed with a bunch of other first place stuff. I am so proud of her for making it to first the first year she entered. We just had alot of fun looking at the animals and also making fun of them. I have a few pictures but I am not able to put them all on because my laptop won't let me but as soon as I can download them to my laptop and get them on here. I hope you do enjoy the few I can get on her.

Ashley really wanted to get this picture.

Back to the books

I am back at school, I just got here today and I can't believe that my break is all over. I had so much fun with my friends and family that I really didn't want to go back. I really can't believe that the time flow by and so much had happened. But I am back and ready for another crazy semester here at VFCC. I just ask that you pray for me has I go through this semester. For God to guide me in the decisions I have to make and all that I have to do. Thank you so much.

P.S. Pictures of the Pennsylvania Farm Show coming soon.

Day in Bethlehem w/ Grandpa and Grandma

The day after christmas my family and I went to Bethlehem to see the sites and spend sometime with them. We started out going to a Christmas Putz then walked and stopped at a few of the stops along the main street. While walking we stopped at the Sun Inn for a little tour. Then it was back to thier house for supper and presents. It was so nice to see ands spend some quality time together (even though us kids spent most of the time downstairs playing on our Wii). We spent the night then went to a Model Train Shop that was really cool. Here are a few pitures of the event.
