So, being secretary was fun but also pretty boring. But I got through. I did Preschool with Trevor and a couple ladies from the church at night. I was so hyper but that was alright because there were a lot of little kids so it worked out good actually. And then the moment we had all been waiting for 2nd year orientation. Pastor Nathan came in and said that Masters was dead that it had died over the summer. Which was weird but very good? So wed. Night we had a funeral for Masters. The staff did a real good job at keeping in character if they had broken out of character it would have just been funny. But they didn’t so it was actually very serious and in your face it made me really think about what I had done to kill Masters. We were also told that we weren’t aloud to talk to each other or ask questions for the next 21 hr. which maid the ride home with Esther and the next morning interesting.
Thursday we talked about what it was that killed Masters and about the vision for the new Masters. We went to the hospital to see the new born babies and to pray. There actually weren’t any babies in there till the very end. But Bre staid upstairs in that wing of the hospital (the rest of us wondered) and the nurses were about to take her into custody. But she managed to convince them that she wasn’t there to swipe a baby. We then had lunch and went up to the top of Mt. Spokane and prayed for a little bit. After that we broke for dinner and were all going over to P. Nate’s at 6:30 for Nicks Birthday and to hang out. But P. Nate got sick so us girls took the cake and went and picked up some cheap funny card for him and we went to the Mod (the Mod is a small house in the church’s parking lot that the boys live in) girls aren’t allowed in the Mod so we had his party on the front porch (everything we tried to go do was closed or opened to late).
Friday, we talked logistical things so we know what are job descriptions are Bre is the Children’s coordinator, Esther is the office manager and point guard coordinator. Lance in Evangelisms, Trevor is Multi Media, I am Academic. We had all pretty much had all of that guessed so no big surprises there. Then the boys went to go pick some stuff up and us girls started collecting stuff for covenant night. We all went to P. Nate’s for lunch and after lunch had a real good time of prayer for each other and next year with him and us five. We all broke for dinner. Bre took Esther and me to her house for dinner so we could meet her host family. They are really nice and she will fit in great. We then went to P. Nate’s just to have fun.
Saturday today we get off so Esther and I came to the library to get online YAY. Now I will try to post this but we will see if it works.

Hi, first off I can’t get a wireless connection from my host house so I’ll be updating probably once a week. Anyway about last week…
Bre and I left for Masters Commission on Wednesday we arrived in Colorado Springs and spent a couple of wonderful days with are mentors from AK and friends that moved there from AK. We went to Whit’s End (at focus on the family) while there and had a blast. They really have the place set up neat. There was a lot to do I would suggest it to anyone. They had a three story tall slide that Bre and I went on you had to be not to short but not to tall to go on it and we qualified YAY. Bre screamed the whole way down but that is normal for her. They had Narnia there as well and a Wardrobe to go though to get there. We had a lot of fun just visiting with everyone to. (Thanks again) While there it snowed it was really pretty and fun but not to fear none of it stuck not even in the passes.
We left on Saturday and made it to Hardin. That was a fun day (as far as traveling goes). We went and found all the plays we knew in Hardin and I was shocked at how smaller everything was. I knew Hardin was small but I didn’t relieve how small.
Then we drove here on Sunday (Master Commission) I didn’t think the day was ever going to end. I thought Wyoming was going to be hard to drive though but no Montana was the killer it just went on and on. And we were both pinging about getting back. We stopped and saw a friend from last year and her family fed us dinner (It was very good). We had a great time goofing around with her for a couple of hours. We were both wired when we finally made it but no one was at the church so we just pinged around waiting for them to get back. We stayed the night at one of the Pastors houses.
Monday, we went to the church and caught up with everyone. Then we went and unloaded my stuff at my new host home. I am tickled pink at my new host home I really wanted this one lady in the church and I got her. YAY. Then we went and caught up with the 2nd year guys (Esther wasn’t in town yet) for lunch. We then loaded Bre’s stuff into the car (Bre can’t move in till Tuesday) and went back to Joanne’s (my host mom) She took us out to A&W for dinner (she just had gum surgery so ya’ all can pray for a quick recovery). Then Bre went to Immerge (JrH ministry) and I talked with Joanne for a little bit and went to bed. (I have a HUGE bed)
Tuesday, I unpacked and settled in then came to the church for Shelly’s Birthday and everyone who was here went to chicken-n-more which is a small hole in the wall southern style restaurant. The place was decorated in old license plates and I love license plates so I really enjoyed looking at all the décor. Then we got back to the church and Esther was there YAYAYAYAYAYAY. Bre and I went and got library cards and then she dropped me off at Wal-Mart where I met up with Esther and her family so I could take them to Joanne’s. Because Esther is staying with us (Joanne and I) for a month while they find her a host family (be praying). She and I had a good time catching up on the summer and just talking about last year. We had dinner with Joanne later that evening us three (Joanne, Esther, and I) watched Dancing with the Stars. Then went to bed.
Wednesday, finally caught up YES. I am filling in as secretary today and we start are second year tonight at 8:30.

Monday

Today we all got up and Jamin made dutch babies for us all in honor of Bre. They were real yummy. I worked some on a puzzle then Zander got it and I didn't have the heart to start all over so I put it up. Mom, Bre, and I went and put new back tires on the honda. Put my perscriptions in at Walgreens. and went to Hobby Lobby to get fall decor. When we arrived home I put my bike on the carrier and then Jared and I took some monitors up to storage (to make sure the carrier was working right). Then I wrote this O so amazing blog about today.

Saturday

Hey (is for horse’s not people I know)
So yesterday was Play station day which means that the screen and projector are set up and they get to play. (I never was a huge fan.) Well they played all day long. So they are trying a new system now. Mom, Jamin, Jared, and I decided to escape from the madness and went looking for a bike carrier and we found one at Academy which I have discovered is a really neat story. It can carry 2 bikes is easy to put on and break down to story it is also really light and was pretty cheap. So I am very excited about this. We then went to the mall and returned a pair of Stacia shoes to Old Navy we then walked around looking at the mall. We stopped and got a milk shake from Chic-Fil-A and waved at Cy. They really do have the best milkshakes. We then went and ate at Taco Bell. We came home and Bre and Arielle had a tea party ready so we did that which was really fun. We then watched the First Daughter and called it a night. Today we went to the first day of Sunday school and then to CiCi’s for lunch with some family friends. We are about to go to the Contemporary service so good bye.

Friday

So yesterday mom and Bre went and had the oil changed in the Accord. While there they found out we needed new tires so they bought some new tires they also finished getting almost everything we need for the trip. While they were gone Jamin, Jared and I took the little ones to the park. We put them on the Merry Go round and spun them around and around that was fun. We played a little bit of something like B ball but well Jamin and I (Jareds turn to watch Stacia) where the only ones that actually new how. But Zander (4) is pretty good with the bat (Bre and I are bring are gloves). We played a little bit of other games then Cy came and picked us up (it was really hot). We came home and sat looking at each other trying to decide what to do I decide to do a puzzle and they all followed suit. Jamin finished making the pizza which was really yummy Jamin can even do the throw it and spin it thing now. We watched Casanova (Bob Hope) and started watching (I fell asleep) the Lemon Drop Kid (also Bob Hope). That was my day.

Hey

So today I went to the doctor and had my acne and moles looked at. He gave me a bunch of acne perscriptions and said that now I should go ahead and have the moles removed. Then Mom and I went shopping. We came home unloaded. Then Bre and I finished working out the details for our upcoming trip. Bre and I went and picked Jamin and Jared up from House of Faith while finishing our discussion. We are now about to go to mr. Gatti's. So TTFN

Wedsday

Hi
Today we went on a treasure hunt. It was really fun; this is a list of the rules:

~Make a three person pyramid a block from home. The person on top has to drink a can of pop.
~Eat a bag of bunnies (or goldfish – you know the CRACKERS).
~Get a picture at Chick-Fil-A.
~Get a picture in front of 4 restaurants that each represents different food nationalities.
~Climb a tree and take a picture (2 people have to be in the tree).
~Get a picture with a movie star.~Take the goofiest picture you can.
~Take the best looking picture possible.~Soak you head in water of some sort (can’t be from home).
~Sing I’m A Little Teapot in the middle of the side walk.
~Get a picture within 5ft of wildlife (live).
~Get a coin from the 80’s.~Collect 10 pieces of litter.
~Take a picture on a horse.

My team raced through it as is supposed to happen on a treasure hunt. But Bre Capt. Of the other team (Mom was our Capt.) was very laid back as long as they were back by the designated time to be back it was all good well the designated time was a "if you just can't get it dont stay out all night" thing. Therefore my team got back an hour before her team. But they went to more of the exotic places. We planed it so we got all our pictures in three/four stops. It was really fun (as I said before).
But before this mom, Bre, Arielle, Nolan, Stacia, and I went to see a quilter’s open house. A lady from the chapel invited us and we thought it would be nice to stop in. It was really fun and funny. Afterwards we went to find the new chaplains house and well we had the address wrong and when we finally got to where it should be that block of house’s had been torn up for the loop. But after much looking we found there house and it is nice, they aren’t living under the bridge as we were beginning to fear. We then went to Arbys and had a quick bite. Went home and finished getting ready for the treasure hunt. Cy got home from work and he had just received a dollar raise. (Wahoo) This evening we had Ice Cream to celebrate a successful hunt.

Hi
Today five years ago marked a changing point in so many lives. Because of that day we have thousands of our military overseas and all their family’s at home, and a new respect of what we have, and a fear at how easy it would be to lose it. But despite it all, we can still lift our heads proud and say that God is good. He is sovereign and in control even through terrorism, killers, tsunamis, hurricanes…and through it all He has been there for those willing to call out.

Not anything important

Hi
Today was pretty laid back day. Mom and I took Nolan, Zander, and Stacia on a walk the two boys rode their bikes but on the way back Zander got tired and was running then jumping on the back of his trike but it tipped and he hurt his hand so I rode it home for him.: ) Well, I jammed my leg into the handle bar at the very end so now right when my paintball bruise and other bruise are just going away and I am going to get another (WHOHOO). I took a nap, and then made pizza sauce. Mom has an organic food co-op she does and so we got ready and then met the truck. We divided the food, then waited for people and carried it out. That was pretty much my day.

The children are waiting! Please tell them the story about the bald frog with the wig

There once was this Bald frog that lived in hopper villa now all the other frogs in hopper villa had beautiful heads of hair but not our poor frog. He has been bald ever since he was a wee tad poll. All the other tad polls would always call him mean names and wouldn’t let him play. By the time he was a frog he wouldn’t go out in public for fear of what they would say and do. One day, while looking out the window enviously, he happened to see a little girl who was acting like a princess (she did not need to act because she is a daughter of the King as is everyone) and she had used a mop head to make her hair longer which gave him (our frog) the brilliant idea of making a wig. Off he went to make his wig. He took some straw and grass and mud (glue don’t you see) and plastered it all to his head and he thought he looked ever so handsome. Off he went to strut his stuff but all the other frogs started laughing at the ridiculous sight. When all seemed lost for our poor frog, one brave frog stepped up and told all the other frogs to STOP. This frog was loved by the King and His Son just as much as all of them and that they should feel bad about what they had done for the King Himself had said treat others as you yourself want to be treated. Upon hearing this all the other frogs did feel bad. The one frog that stood up then pulled our poor bald frog aside and told him all about the Kings love and how He made us all unique for his own purpose. Now our bald frog had meaning and he started traveling around telling all the other rejected frogs about the Kings love.

This one goes before the other one (thursday)

Hi
I was bored so Jared and I took the Quail for a walk. (The Quail is a science experiment that actually worked, This was a first) We tied a rope around it's middle and walked it around the back yard it kept backing up trying to get the rope off it was real funny. It was real mad though.

Ramblings

Hi
Some what have I been doing well let me think about it. OKAY I've got it I went to the park for a B-day party and my bros and Bre and I played on all the preschooler's toys they really are a lot of fun if you know how to use them. Then we went to Office depot and Mom bought Bre and I digital Cameras for our B-days they are really nice I've been taking pictures all day (I just got it up and running today). Then we watched the Long Long Trailer which is a Lucile Ball and Dezi Arnez movie. It was pretty good we finished the night by watching an episode of Hogan's Hero's. Oh wait Cy ripped his pants at the park I thought we should make him an honorary masters. I also thought this was God's funny way of telling him to go to Masters next year. Sat we slept in then went and bought shoes for Stacia. That's about it. Today Nolan, Stacia, and Mom woke up with different degrees of flu' ness. Dad called and I got to talk to him it sounded real funny because there was a delay and you could heart everything you said repeated. Then us older ones went to eat and then we just sat around at the restaurant and talked Bre and I told them about the Brazilian service and how fun it was to watch the annoying little sin (HAHAHAHA). We came home hung around then us older ones went to the contemporary service on base (mom and younger ones being sick still). It was really funny at the service because that is Dad's service but his being in Kuwait kind of make that difficult. So the new Chaplain was there and he had on the very formal black suit with a white Clergy collar (everyone else where's street clothes or there BDU’S). He got up and went straight behind the pulpit (Dad never goes behind the pulpit) where upon he said that he was going to have the other new chaplain preach and that guy came up and he was wearing a blue striped polo with a Clergy collar and a big cross with neon colored sting. It was a really good sermon. He talked about the gaps in are life while waiting for God and how we had to stay in prayer and walk in God. Then we came home and ate home made mint ice cream YUMM. So this has been my ramblings I hoped you enjoyed if not, "let’s say you did but not."

hey dad

Hi
Dad and others, you can now you see what I’m up to without venturing into the dreaded world of myspace. :) I don’t have a whole lot to say right now but wait for the Master’s year to start.
