Chic-Fil-A

There has been a mighty controversy that has come in recent news involving Chic-Fil-A. The President of Chic-Fil-A, Dan Cathy, spoke out against unbiblical marriage not consisting of a man and a woman. He says ""I think we are inviting God's judgment on our nation when we shake our fist at Him and say 'we know better than you as to what constitutes a marriage' and I pray God's mercy on our generation that has such a prideful, arrogant attitude to think that we have the audacity to define what marriage is about." I think it's about time that someone stand out and swim upstream from the direction that the world is trying to pull us. Chic-Fil-A has always been very open about their biblical beliefs and aren't afraid to lose business for it. Rick Santorum and Sarah Palin have both united in supporting the business. I'm sure it's extremely hard to be in the public eye, as they are, and still support business that are standing against what the world is trying to teach us.
Tomorrow, Aug. 1 has been named Chic-Fil-A appreciation day to show our support for the business standing up for biblical principles. I will be attending the Chic-Fil-A nearest me. Will you join us in supporting a Christian business standing up for what they believe in? I hope you will. I would love to hear your story of how you are supporting your local Chic-Fil-A.

Summer Activities

Howdy fellow bloggers!!
I hope everyone's summer is going well. We seem to have something planned almost every day. My sister, Mallory just celebrated her Sweet 16 last Monday. I can't believe it. She went with a family that we're good friends with and headed to Branson. We joined them a few days later and spent a day in Silver Dollar City! If none of you have been, I HIGHLY suggest you should go with your family, it's such a fun atmosphere, not to mention the amazing rides.
This week I am spending my days working in our church office, then spending the evenings cooling off in the pool.
How are you spending the summer with your family?? I'd love to hear from you

Blueberry Patch

These past few weeks have been absolutely crazy. My sister, Mallory, performed in the Missoula Childrens Theatre that came to town. Therefore, she had practice every day most of the day. She did a wonderful job playing Basil in The Tortoise Versus The Hare.

This past week I have started working for a local blueberry farm picking in the mornings. It's quite fun (minus the heat)! haha.

We also took a day trip to Silver Dollar City last weekend. That was fun to be able to just run away for the day and have some relaxing time.

I don't know about everybody else but I have a hard time wanting to accomplish the things that I need to get done when it's 100degrees outside. All it makes me want to do is live in my pool. :D Speaking of our pool, we had my friend's little boy over the other day to swim and he is such a joy to babysit. He is a water baby, that is for sure.

So now that I've sort of told you how I've been spending my summer, I'd like to hear from you. What are your favorite summer activities and how do you stay cool? : )

Busy Busy Busy

Oh my, how time gets out from under me so easily. I feel as if I have been neglecting the blogging world. :( .  This last week has been crazy busy attending the OCHEC homeschool conference. My sister had an entrepreneur booth with some of our sewing things. We really enjoyed getting to visit with the people who came by, and there were a lot of them. We attended the Tulsa convention and then headed to Oklahoma City the next day. Needless to say, all that has been on our mind is sewing sewing sewing. Now since that is over, we have craft shows to prepare for. The work never ends, but that's ok. Sewing is one of my favorite hobbies and I would do it 24/7 if I could. But, none the less there is chores around the house to be done.

Fort Rock Family Camp 2012

Wow have we had a fun past few days!! We went to a Raising Entrepreneurs camp at Fort Rock Family Camp in Combs, Arkansas. It was a blast. The camp lasted 3 nights and 4 days. While we were there, I turned 21-what a way to spend a birthday! We spent our time zip lining on the longest zip line in Arkansas, trail riding on horseback through the Ozarks, shooting bow and arrows, and shooting at the rifle range. I can't imagine a better way to have spent that special day. It was out in the mountains, so we had no phone service, which made it easy to just sit back and relax and smell the fresh mountain air. Here are a few pictures. I couldn't post them all, or it would take forever, but here are just a few highlights of our trip.

 Most of the time, I was turned around backwards while riding, trying to get a pic of us riding. I couldn't really get a picture of myself, so this is the closest I got haha

 This a photo of all of the families that attended

Easter 2012

Happy Easter everyone. Sorry I haven't posted in a little while. Things seem to be crazy around here with all of our extracurricular activities. :D  I hope everyone had a wonderful day celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ with their family. Today was such a beautiful day to sit outside.

I thought I'd post some pics from our garden that I took a couple of days ago. Not everything is up yet, but I have a feelling they'll be peeking out of the dirt in just a few days.  : D
