Dear Journal,

My grandfather and grandmother just left our house. We are spending a week at lake Weiss in Alabama. We are going to have fun on our boat and enjoy the rest of the summer until school starts August 1.  I have been doing a little bit of catch-up work so that I am ready for school start. Dad is cooking sausage for breakfast and my little brother is orgainizing his train station. My sisters are both playing wii ski and snowboard.   mom is reading her latest book. I am enjoying typing. dad said we would have a   bowling tournament on the wii.
Later
I just got off of google reader and am subscribed to most of your blogs. I am not sure if I am doing it right but I'll figure it out in a few years. pretty soon i'll have to shut down the laptop. it's a really old laptop and very slow.  I need to go outside and get some fresh air. but I'll wait until my sister is done with her history time with my mother. My mom had a blog a long time ago. She helps lead a group at our church, It's called the homeschool group for we are homeschoolers.  I ran 1 1/4 miles this morning and am still sore from the workout I had yesterday. hope we can go swimming soon.   This is what I have to do this week to get ready for school to start:
. four spelling tests
 10 problems of math.
  3 essays on different topics
 review 26 lessons in logic
4 chapters of history
I've done
2 essays
3 chapters of history
10 lessons of logic.
That's a great deal to do in 6 days.

Dear journal,

Today was exhausting. I spent about 3 hours getting ready for school to start and will do so for the rest of the week, as school starts august 1 in my homeschooling.  I ran 1 1/2 miles this morning much to the amusement of the walkers my brother tagged along with me. he's 5 I'm 12. He doesn't quite keep up with me.  It was raining cats and dogs a few minutes ago. with thunder every 20 seconds and lightning every 15. Does anyone have ANY  idea how to figure out(in a simple way!) how close a storm is to you. please tell me.......
once we all most got hit by lightning that's for you, Winnie. We were heading out to get ice cream in the middle of a big thunderstorm (smart right) and my dad goes out to the car to get the umbrella, which if you've studied Benjamin Franklin is not a great idea. So we are all standing on the porch and suddenly a flash of light was right next to us in our yard, and I remember felling tingly, so dad finally realizes that getting an umbrella in a thunderstorm is a terrible idea. We all run out and get in the car. Well it finally stopped raining so I'm gonna go outside and run around and get my body excercixed some more.

New room

I'll put a picture on when its done. gotta go and pick up stuff off the floor again.............

Thank you for your support

Hey to all of you who supported my trip to Dallas, it was an experience I'll never forget....................
Thank you for your prayers and support. The knowledge of God's love was spread to 88 people on this trip. What a way for God to use us!  I was able to lead 8 people to Christ and also I grew in my faith myself!
