Christmas play

Hello! Today my church is having the childrens and the adults christmas plays. well, in the childrens christmas play, the girl who was supposed to play one of the two main charicters is sick and probably won't be ther so guess who got picked today to fill in? You guessed it, me. I won't have to memorize anything because I'll just read the lines out of the book but I do have a short solo that I have to learn and my voice is kinda hoarse because I am just a tiny bit sick. Well, I guess I will just have to do as good as I can.

Home!



WE'RE HOME! In case you didn't know, jc and I have been gone for the past two weeks and we just flew home yesterday. We were visiting my grandparents in New Mexico. I had a great time, even though I missed everyone at home terribly. We shopped every day of the second week except Sunday! Jc and I bought presents for everyone in our family who lives in New Mexico to save on shipping. On the way to My grandparents we stopped at a place called White Sands Missile Range. It is a government testing area for missiles and rockets. But why call it White Sands? Because there is white sand all over. There is a place where you can drive though the dunes and park your car and get out and hike up and slide down the dunes. The only problem? I got buried in the sand and it was about 45 degrees out there. The only really strange thing was that there were puddles of water every where. Apparently it had rained a few weeks ago and the water never dried up. One of the things that continually amazed me was the mountains, and the sunsets, and the open plains, and the clouds in the sky....... If I tried to describe it all, I would forever be at a loss for words. I was continually reminded of how great our God truly is. When the sun was just about to disappear, it would turn the Organ mountains pink for a minute or so, and then they would go back to normal as if they had never changed. New Mexico is just gorgeous. Well, I had better close this post now, it's gotten too long already.
