Just An Awesome Saturday

Well, today my family and I went to a ProLife Race!  It was an awesome experience.  I didn't run.  Maybe I will next year, or at least volunteer.  Two of my younger sisters, my dad, and some good friends of ours, all ran in the race.  They did very well!  They all placed in their own age categories!  I also met up with some friends I hadn't seen in a while.  The race was very well organized.  Some good songs were played (like "Live Like You're Dying" by Kris Allen, "Lean On Me"  by...well...I'm not sure who sang that version...so many different artists sing that song, and a couple other good random songs).

Well going to this race has rekindled my desire to be more involved in ProLife activities.  I use to be pretty involved, but after a while school and side jobs prevented me from being very active.  I've prayed in front of abortion mills, and volunteered at ProLife pregnancy centers before and would really like to start doing those things again. 

Well, when we all got back from the race, I did my Saturday chores (I know...fun, fun right?) and then walked down town, where I briefly checked out the Library, a consignment shop, and then walked to Church for an hour.  And in between all these activities I got to see my Aunt, Uncle, a cute little cousin!

So yeah, today was a fun filled day. 

Our First Egg!

Today, I woke up to one of my sister's exclaiming "We have an Egg!!!" 

So finally, after a little more than 4 months, we have...well...one egg...  Our other 4 chickens better hurry up and start laying! 

We don't know which chicken laid the egg, but here is a picture of one of them. 

and here is a picture of the egg! 

and here are a couple pictures of our chickens when they were chicks.

Enjoy the pictures!

What an Awesome Day!

Sorry about not posting often.   Life has been crazy, in an awesome way!  Long trips on the weekends, work on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and emailing like crazy (oh how I love to email friends!)  There's also the weekday tasks that keep me pretty busy...like trying to keep my room neat.  Well, today was a fun day indeed!  I spent pretty much the whole day with a good friend!  We visited lots and lots of very nice shops!  We looked at formal dresses, purses...you know...girl stuff.   We also looked at some really funny birthday/greeting cards!  Some were hilarious!  Some were so cute too!  Card shopping can be so fun! (you gotta be careful though...there's a lotta undesirable ones out there...)  We went out for lunch and had sweet potato fries with a special tango dip!  They were so yummy!  After lunch and checking out some more shops, we went out for ice cream!  The people serving us were so friendly and gave us tastes of the ice cream we wanted to try.  They also gave us two different flavors of ice cream on one cone.  I got dark chocolate and black coffee!  So good!  After that, we went to my friend's house and watched some great youtube videos!  Yes indeedy, it was a perfect day!

(Wow!  That was one of my longer posts! XD  I'm still determined to keep up with this blog!!!)

Baby Blue Jay Picture

Cute huh?

Baby Blue Jay!

Yesterday, my younger sister rescued a baby blue jay from a cat!  The little bird wasn't harmed.  It's such a cutie!   My sis is feeding the baby bird smashed worms, some chicken feed, and water.  lol  So now, we have 5 chickens and a baby blue jay! ^_^  I took some pics.  I'll post them as soon as I get them on my laptop! 

Contra Dancing!

Yesterday, my sisters and I went to a contra dance!  It was my second contra dance and my sisters first.  We all had a blast!  I saw old friends that I hadn't seen in years!  My little sisters were very good at dancing too!  Sadly, it was the last contra dance for a while.  They are taking a break for the summer.  I wish the events we take part in didn't have to stop during the summer. 

Happy Music?

Just recently, I realized that almost more than half of the music I listen to have sad tunes...  I love happy catchy music!  Does anyone have any happy music suggestions?   I like pop,  soft rock and techno best, as long as they're clean. 

One Down!

Three more to go!  I finished the Hobbit and it was amazing!  It will make an awesome movie that's for sure!  As I read the book, I kept thinking about the seven dwarves for some weird reason. lol

and sorry about not being active.  I will try harder now that I have more time!

The Hobbit!

Who is excited for the upcoming Hobbit movie??  I can't wait!  By the way, I starting reading the book.  It's very good so far (I'm very very sure that the whole thing is!)  I love the character descriptions!  And I am also very determined to finish it before the movie comes out in December 2012.
