Classy with a Dash of Quirk

Happy October everybody! I hope you are enjoying the season of autumn, though I bet it is being spent at the books. I know mine is! School is going well; I am enjoying all of my subjects, except science. I really don't like that! Yet, it is required, so I have to deal with it:-) However, if I could get off, and instead do more literature or history, I would in a heartbeat!

My week last week was very good. Friday was the ladies thing. I enjoyed myself immensely. Hannah did not show up ,but Grace, Brianne, and Melinda did, among others. I ate far too much junk food (but it was good:-) Afterwards, most people talked, but I made a decorative candle. It was easy; just nakpins cut out and rubbed on the wax with a HOT curling iron. I got a tiny bit of wax on me, the neck to be precise. No, I didn't sick the curling iron up there; it was just so hot, the wax splattered. Thankfully, it was hardly anything, and I didn't cry out. Mom and I left around 10:30. I think those who weren't staying overnight left around then too. We got home and discovered that the guys at our house at almost all of the cookies I had made!! (I had doubled the chocolate chips and did a batch of oatmeal raisin!) I believe they liked them though.

Saturday was pictures. I am sorry I don't have any to post on here yet, but if I can, I will eventually. Anyway, they turned out great. We went to various places in the Meridian area, a barn, pond, and along the river. Yes, I said a barn, and actually, we did buy some of them. Our family picture is along the Boise River in Eagle. I liked it the best. Oh, if I didn't say before, Mom and I wore red, and Dad and Garrett wore hunter green. It looked really nice!

Yesterday was church; need I say more? It was great. We did sing, and it was to the Lord's glory. The majority of us wore pink or red, and that wasn't even planned. We girls all got a kick out of that! I wasn't overly nervous until offering, then it hit me. My legs felt like jelly and lead, if that is even possible. I just prayed, and then got started. I think we did very well. I tried to keep pitch with Grace; hopefully, it worked! yet most of all, I hope the congregation saw the Lord high and lifted up in our song. Truly, we are Redeemed, and I want to proclaim it. I am his child forever!!! Otherwise, church was great besides. We stayed a tiny bit later than school normal last night. I just talked with the girls and had a great time of fellowship with my fellow believers.

This week is a busy one, yet again, it's with my family. Tomorrow is piano and Dy's. Wednesday is the Phillips, Craig, and Dean concert. (They are my dad's favorite, and he sooo wants to go!) Friday is Andrew Dy's birthday, so the whole family is going over for cake and fun. Saturday, Garrett and Dad are going fishing all day with Mr. R., so Mom and I are having girl time. That means making cards, going to the tea room, possibly with a friend, and watching a girly movie. I think it will be Wives and Daughter and my new Pride and Prejudice. Sounds fun!!!!!

Well, I must dust, and help get dinner prepared. I hope you are all blessed by the Lord, and that I am thankful for each of you and your friendship!!! May you see Him in amazing ways these next few days! To God be the Glory, great things He hath done!!!!! For He is good, and His love endures forever!
