Parties!

Hello again, even though I am on break from school I have still been kept very busy, but at least it is fun stuff : ). I have been to lots of parties this month; here is some description of them.


The first party was the care group Christmas party! It was a lot of fun; every one was supposed to dress "funky formal" i.e. "formal with a twist." We had lots of good food, and we did a white elephant gift exchange. I didn't take many pictures, but here are a few...

Chara and I

A bit later in the month was the annual Access Christmas Banquet/benefit. Most of the money (that not spent on the party itself) is sent to Covenant Mercies. Everyone dressed up formally, and came for a great night of yummy food and fabulous entertainment by some talented people in our church. Sadly, I did not bring my camera :(

Two other events for which I did not have my camera was Kaitlin's birthday party cookie exchange, and Chara and Jimmy's Christmas caroling party. Both of these events were a lot of fun!

Well I suppose my next post will have to do with Christmas day itself! Merry Christmas everyone!

Some Pics From the Single's Christmas Party

Wow, it has been a long time since I last updated

Well school is officially done for the semester. YAY! I am sooo glad; it is nice to have a break for a little while. Next semester I am taking Asian History, Political Science (U.S. Politics), Geography, Statistics, and Technology in the Classroom (an education course). As of now, I am majoring in elementary ed.

Tonight (or rather last night at it is now 12) I went to a single's christmas party/benefit at church. It was great! The food was yummy and the performances were wonderful. I will try to post some pics later.

Our Nautical Adventure

To celebrate her 19th birthday, my friend, Laura, invited Kaitlin and I to go on a two hour cruise with her on the American Rover in Norfolk. Despite its being a little chilly we had a blast!

After the cruise we went to Laura's house for a dinner that included salmon, hush puppies, and Brunswick stew. We then watched a Horatio Hornblower movie (nautical movie if you haven't heard of it), spent a long time talking, and then slept (for a few hours anyway :))

Happy Birthday Laura!

Surprise Party at Lake Christopher

Today I went to a surprise party for Jessica at Lake Christopher. She had no idea her parents were planning something; in fact, she was thinking they had forgot about her b-day! We had lunch, shared encouragements with the birthday girl, and then we swam in the lake for a long time. Later, we did cake and Jessica opened all her presents. Then we went back into the lake for a little more swimming. It was so much fun!

Happy Birthday Jessica!

Some Videos From Lilly's B-Day Party

Lilly's B-day Party!

Saturday was Lilly's surpise 16th b-day party! It was a sleepover and it was so much fun! We talked, ate, played games, ate cake and had tea, Lilly opened gifts, and we stayed up late talking!

Miss Farah forced Lilly to wear the Princess Crown!

I think this pic of Lilly is so cute!

Gorgeous tea table





HAPPY BIRTHDAY LILLY!!!!!!!
