  But they only shine at night.

  The more I see their radiant light.”

   

  Warning: Random update ahead. I’m gonna put together a few weekends and try to keep all the pics from getting too jumpled up. There’s been some interesting things going on for me over the past few weekends, and I’m gonna try to make an atleast half-nteresting post for you guys!!

  First of all, I missed some pics in my last update. Of when Galen came out before we went down…some of him and Anika that are beyond cute.=)

  

  She was so adorable. She’d just woken up from her nap and she toddled on over to Galen and basically ASKED him to snuggle with her. She had decided that she liked him…she does that with people. Some she’ll instantly love, and others take a while to win her over…with Galen, it was the former…although she DID try to play hard-to-get for a little at first. Then I think it was HER that couldn’t resist him!! ha…

  

  Tickling her toes…priceless. =)

  Change of subject:

  Got bored the other day and it was raining…so I took a few pics of stuff around the place.

  

  

  

  These were through my car window…didn’t wanna get my camera wet!=)

   

  Another change of subject.

  Had some friends come from NC and OH like two weeks ago…or was it three? 

   

  Mer and Rosetta…

  

  Dave and Melissa…awww…

  

  Rosie and Dor…love these two girls!!

  

   

  Made Cindy endure a photo shoot. I’ve decided I like doing that to my friends. I give all the commands and they simply MUST do what I say…lol. A lot of fun…for me anyway. And getting some good pics is always a bright spot!=)

  

  Lamar.

  

  Adam.

  

  Anne.

  

  Mer!=)

  

    

    

  

  The bro. I was making him pose for me, and this last one was when he finally got tired of it all lol.=)

  

  This one always startles me a little when I first look at it, then it cracks me up. The combination of a face coming out of nowhere and that red tongue…ha ha!!=)

  Change of subject…again!!=)

  Youth.

  

  

  Did a photo shoot of Brittany too. =)

  

  Caught red-handed! If you look close enough you can even see the stream of water coming out of the glass. This is Dwayne tormenting my brother.

   

  Allan.

   

  Ronald.

  

  Dwayne. (I think he was telling me something=)

     

  “Johnnie-pop” =)

  

  Marla and Brittany.

  

  Carmie!!

  

  The bro…and his own private dancing-with-the-soccer-ball routine. Love watching him.=)

     

   I like this pic for some reason.=)

  

  Jolene and Allan…we went out to eat after “the game”. We were all in pretty crazy moods so it made for lots of laughter and loudness.

  

  laughter.=) Love this pic of her!!

   

  More pics of the youth…

  

  Carmie.

  

  Forrest!! (FINALLY got a pic of him…=)

   

    Rusty and Beth. (the coolest youth leaders EVER.)

  

  Atleast they weren’t making out. Love the look on her face lol.=)

   

  some of the guys…

  

  Charlotte watching Adriel. Every time the camera even gets close to pointing at him, he makes a face. Some of them scare me…almost.=)

   

  Lacey…and ME!!=)

  

  they did a little “initiation-into-the-youth-group” thing for me…atleast it didn’t hurt too bad…just the normal prank where you feel like an idiot while everyone laughs at you.=)
     

  Jolene didn’t know what the prank was all about so then she got to go through it too!!

   

  ANOTHER change of subject!! (told you guys this was gonna be random=)

  The Sumners came out to visit us…they’ll be going back to Honduras in a few weeks (I think), so we were so glad to see them!!

  

  I approved of Rachel’s shirt.

   

  Rhoda.

  

  Rachel and one of the girls they brought along…Jennifer.

   

  Ruthie!!

  

  Dar…in the flames…looks kinda freaky…and real…but no worries! It’s not.=)
  

  Rachel. I miss you!!

   

  I thought Ruthie’s shirt was hysterical. Love it.=)

  

  New things I discovered on my camera. That’s the result of slow shutter speed, the fire, and my skills at writing backwards with my camera lol.

   

  Oh oh oh!! I’ve got a blood blister!!=)

   

  check it out. That is the result of Joe and his great love of teasing people. He told me a match could burn twice and I found out that I believed him. But I just think it’s weird that it turned into a blister like that! I know you guys were dying to know about this so you’d better find it very interesting!!=)

  

  Random pic of Dar…emulating a professor…a very OLD professor lol.

  Oh and THEN we went to NC on Sunday!! Had a wonderful, beautiful, marvelous time!!=)

  

  

  I got bored on the way…

  

  Esther.=)

  

  Motz showing off Paige. He’s hysterical.=)

  edit:

  Katie: “Motz, do you think you could live without her? (Paige)”

  Motz: “Yes.”

  Katie: “Then why are you going to marry her?”

  Motz: “Because I know I will live better WITH her.”

  

  LEENY!!! (squeak!!=)

  

  Rachel…was awesome to see the Troyers again. They’re so much a part of Honduras they almost seem honduran to me now.=)

   

    Ro.=)

  

  Jon.

  

  MICHAEL!!!!!!!!!!!! man, it was good to see you again!=)

  

  Cheryl…

  

  Micah.

  

  Rhoda!=)

  

  Intense conversation in Leeny’s kitchen…

  

  Willy and Rosie.

  

  I LOVE this pic of you, Leeny. It’s going on my friend wall, just so you know. Your expression is perfect…half-exasperation at all my picture-taking, and all love.=) I miss you.

  Oh and just LOOK at the treasure I found on the way home!!

  

  I know it’s not completely spelled right, but this is in honor of Michael, Harmony, Merry and Melody!!=) Oh, yeah, and Wes too, if he ever sees this.=)

    

  Footnote: I’m a college student now. Well, sorta. I was told that I’m “half-a-college-student”, so I figured it out that mom and I together make a WHOLE one lol!! Ok. I’ll try to explain. I’m taking three classes a week…we were a little late, so couldn’t get into all the ones we’d like to. But I do two on-campus, and one on-line. Just started, so I haven’t figured out if I like it or not, but I think I’m going to.

  Mom and I are taking classes…so we can do our pre-requisites…and then EVENTUALLY, we hope to get into nursing school.

  If it all works out, we’ll be graduating in 2012. So what do “you” think of that? =) 

  Random fun-fact: I figured out that if or WHEN I get to the moon, I will weigh exactly 18 lbs–since the pull of gravity is less there than it is here– (if I still weigh as much then as I do now lol)…and I thought that was interesting. Don’t ask me how I got that out of my Math class…I can only say that I was paying very close attention!!=)

  Have a great week, everyone. =)

  That’s it!
