Last post of 2009

This has been an excellent year of blogging; I've been able to talk to people through my blog and join the "blogosphere" of writers. I've had blogging failures, unposted posts, and posts that drew up to 10 or more comments. Thank you for sticking with this blog for 2009, and I hope to bring you more interesting posts in 2010!

Happy New Year's Eve

I would encourage all of you to take a few minutes out of your day and go to www.freerice.com. A sponsor will turn every correct answer you get into 10 grains of rice to feed someone in a third-world country. If you need to brush up on math, English, geography, etc, this is an excellent way to do. It's also a good way to turn a strong point in some subjects into food for a hungry person.

Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas, my faithful blog readers! :) I hope you all had/are having a wonderful day with family and friends; I did. I also received some thoughtful gifts, including a gorgeous bag that my mommy made. I'll try to post pictures later. :) What was your favorite gift that you received, and what was your favorite gift to give (and who did you give it to)? Have a very merry Christmas, all!!!!

Merry Christmas Eve!

There's irony for you; I told you that I wouldn't be posting as much, and now I've posted more in the last few days then in the whole month. :) But I couldn't resist telling all of you blog readers Merry Christmas Eve!!!! Now hopefully there are people reading my blog, and I'm not just writing for my own benefit. So, if you read this blog, I want you to leave a comment on this post. That's all I ask. Just leave a comment. Okay? Have a blessed time celebrating our Lord Jesus' birth!

HAVE A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!

It's a Pokenberry Christmas (I, II)

Today's Adventure in Odyssey was a clever twist on It's A Wonderful Life. Enjoy! Whit's End

Musings.......

Since nothing earth-shattering has happened in the last little bit, I haven't had anything to post. But with some exciting things coming up, I thought I had better write!

With Christmas in 3 days, I am enjoying celebrating the season! We've been going through our Advent book, and on Saturday we set up our tree and decorated it. The last few days have been a flurry of buying and wrapping presents, cleaning, and hanging out with friends and family. My cousin, her husband, and their little baby will all be coming down either late this week or early next week. I'm planning on getting together with a close friend that I haven't seen since summer time.

I may not be posting much the next few days, so don't be surprised if I seem to disappear from the blogging world for a while. :) Merry Christmas!!!!

Gotta love ordering online

Oh well. The present that I had ordered for my dear mother got shipped off to who knows where, and what I ordered someone else has no doubt received. Let's just hope that the company straightens this incident out. I'm sure they recieved at least two emails today. :)

Christmas Break!

School is officially over until January 5th! Finals are done, and they all went really well. I am however thrilled to have over two weeks off. :) We have our church group coming over tomorrow for a Christmas party, and hopefully we can get together with friends on Christmas Day. We also have to get our Christmas tree this weekend; life has been so hectic lately we've had no time for decorating! But as we gather with our families and friends to open presents, and share time together, let's not lose the focus. I know that I often do, but this year I'm going to strive to put Christ at the center of this holiday. What are you all doing for Christmas?

International Festival and FINALS!

I have been silent the past week or so because I've been insanely busy working on my International Fest. The project was last night, so I thought I'd take the time to tell you all about it!

All the freshman at BCS had to present a country at the International Fest last night. I chose the country of Israel, so for the past three weeks, that is just about all that's been occuping my time. It was a lot of fun though. I got to talk to a lot of people and share what I had learned; I also got to dress up in modern Israeli clothes, so that was really cool too! I am happy that it is over though!
Finals start on Tuesday, so today I reviewed some English a wee bit, and then practiced a LOT of algebra. Finals are over Thursday, and Friday all the highschool students get to go play with the elementary school kids! Friday is a half day for the whole school, and then I am free until January 5th. Yippee!

Argh!

My internet died yet again, so I'm sorry again for my silence. I think we have everything worked out, but if not, you'll know why I've disappeared. :)

It was amazing; this morning I woke up and the ground was covered with snow! To get snow in Tennessee at the end of fall is unbelievable! So we went outside with the dogs and had snowball fights and raced down the hill in sleds. So fun!
