Of Open Houses and Such


      Ah, Summer. The season of pool parties, cookouts, open houses, etc. Mainly open houses. More specifically mine. You never know how many people are going to attend. Well, I was blessed by a very good turn out. It was so great having so many amazing people there to share in that special day of mine!  It was also great having so much help getting ready. A huge, huge thanks to my friend Tiff and her mom. Her mom made me two cakes, and Tiff helped with the decorations.

                
                                              
                                     
 
 
                                                      
                                                     
                                                       
                                                            

                                                            
 
 
 
 
                                                            
       It was such a great time filled with laughter and lots of memories made. Afterwards, me and five other friends went out for frozen yogurt. I was treated to it. After that, we went and walked around a park for fifteen minutes before they closed.  No one was around but else, so I felt kind of funny, but we had the guys with us so I know they would protect us. :)  It was a good day.
     Now, because it's Summer, naturally things didn't slow down after my open house. No. Exactly a week after my open house, one of my very good friends got married. The next day started my church's Vacation Bible School of which I was a part of the skits.

                                                      
     The theme was Medieval, which, let's admit is one of the best themes ever. It was so much fun! I love acting, and performing for 5-12 year-olds is pretty darn fun. Plus, I was with my brother and three friends. My character was rather a Johnny rain cloud. Kind of like Puddleglum, (I do hope you all know who I'm talking about.) I had some funny lines, which made me happy. I like making people laugh.

          After Vacation Bible School, I had a few weeks until I had to get ready for a missions trip. I was home for one week after my missions trip when I had to go to Checkpoint Bible Camp. I love that place so, so much and every year gets better. 

                         So yeah, it's been a busy summer. I can't believe it's already August and everyone is going back to school. Sigh.

                                               Did you have an exciting summer?                  
              
                                                  Well, that's all for now.  I'll try and not let it be another month until I post again. :)  

                                             Blessings!

  1. Oh, my goodness! Was the theme of your VBS "Kingdom Chronicles"?? We did that one at our church, and the pics from your skits look so much like it!
    I loved Checkpoint, too! I miss that camp so much; I want to come up and help out again one of these days!

  2. Oh my goodness, it was "Kingdom Chronicles"! That's so cool that your church did that one as well! It's a fun theme, is it not? I actually remember you from Checkpoint. You were there my first year, I believe. It would really cool if you could go again sometime!
