Three little birds sat on my window.....

and they told me I don't have to worry.......:)
summmer came like cinammon,
so sweet

Indeed, the start of my early
summer has been superb! So many cool things have happened.

First of all, school ended.

Actually, that part wasn't so cool, as my classes were quite fun....I rather miss chemistry. Ms. Gross was a wonderful teacher.

Anyhow, the following week my wonderful brother and I did a two-week drama camp. It was with Arising Light Productions. Zach and Luke were the leaders. Boy, that was fun! The first week I went early for a faith and film class....that was awesome, watching movies all morning, analyzing them, finding truth in them, and simply enjoying them!

As for the drama camp, it was a blast! So many good friends comming together to put on a fun production. It was the play "Twelfth Night" by Shakespeare...I played "Viola", a transvestite, my mum kept calling me. :)

Sam played a comedic drunkard, Sir Toby Belch....ha! He was my favorite character....Sam was awesome, acting a bit like Captain Jack Sparrow, which of course made it funny.....Elizabeth was the wonderful "Chief of Costume", or something like that...thanks to her I had a mustache on my face for the majority of the play....though I woulnd't want it again, it definately added to my disguise!


So then after camp everything slowed down again....until last week when on Thursday I left for the homeschool conference with such wonderful friends from church....that was a lovely time! I got so many good books, too many probably...here is a list of what I got:

1. Captivating - this book I heard great things about! I got it mostly for Elizabeth, but I hope to read it too...

2. The Suffering of Man and the Soveriegnty of God - This is by C.H. Spurgeon, which is why I got it....it's a compilement of sermons he did on Job. I already read the first one....it's fantastic! As Clint Wells says, "Read more Spurgeon and listen to more Beatles"....I thoroughly agree with him!

3. The Open Door - This is a book by Lamplighter Publishing, I'm really looking forward to it....

4. The Wind in the Willows - such a fantastic book! this one I actually didn't get at the conference but at a neighborhood yard sale....I just started reading it again. It's so loverly! Ratty is awesome.

Those are all I can remember right now, so they must be the only ones worth mentioning.

That week ended up nicely with a famly trip to the beach to visit my Grammy and Pappap. I have such fun grandparents!

Well, I'm sure I've bored you quite enough....so long!

Non nobis domine, domine,
Non nobis domine,
Sed nomini, sed nomini
