OCTOBER Beauties // Newsies, Hay Rides, French & Love Comes Softly
4:38 PM
Our youth group's day at the farm...hay ride/corn maze/fire/s'mores
Finding riding boots at the thrift shop for $3.75
Making new frrrriiieeeennnndsss
Going to Annapolis (thee ol' capital) for Billy Graham's 'Decision America Tour'
Visiting the D.C zoo and seeing the mermaid-like sea lion
Going canoeing for the 1st time
eating CHOCOLATE DIPPED WAFFLES for the 1st time
Love Comes Softly surprised me with it's simple writing. The style was simplicity yet the story was heart-felt and overall I thought the book was a 5-star. It felt real as I went almost sometimes, day-to-day with Marty. Emily's Quest wasn't my favorite Emily book; however, I liked certain chapters. Julie of the Wolves was an unexpected book for me to read. I was excited and surprised at how much I liked it, how much I felt it, and looked forward to reading it. It felt interesting to get in touch with my Scandinavian side and learn about the tundra, Eskimo-like life, etc. Whatever award it won fairly and I honestly enjoyed the tale.
I'm learning French with Pimsler. It's actually quite entertaining, I can listen to it while doing anything (like pirouetting) and, according to my family, I'm gaining an accent. Also, I think I've managed somehow to have more scheduled, organized posts (?) so I'm happy to be on that train bound for better blogging.
I'm trying to be set for Nano (TOMORROW) and make sure I can at least write that 1,600 each day. Thanking God for all these great events.
I watched Newsies for the 1st time. The dancing...I want to dance like that.
My friend's face when she opens her birthday presents (would post a picture.....but I kinda think your gonna see it). SNOW. Okay I JUST HAD TOO. It feels like ages since I've been sledding. Wasn't I still 100% introvert last time I sled??? Oh, and, just found out our dance recital will be to the tune of "16 going on 17" from the Sound of Music.
All the winter cozies.
Maybe perhaps a Christmas party at my youth group. Making new friends (yes, more) and all those exciting things that come with the end of the year.
Such as, maybe...Christmas cookies.
How was your October?
Do you own a pair of moccasins (I want some!)
Have you had a lovely fall farm day?
Are you doing Nano?
Did you like 'Love Comes Softly' by Janette Oke?
