A Long Needed Update

It's been over 3 months since this blog has been updated. A lot has happened in those 3 months. One big event was my official graduation from high school. My parents really spoiled me and I ended up with 3 parties to celebrate my completion of high school. May 23rd I had an open house, and then on the 26th I had my Senior Piano Recital and Graduation. The Thursday before those events, the whole family went to a Day in the Prophetic Word and an Honor Israel Night, which were both in Grand Rapids. It was a long day, but very enjoyable.
The pictures are not in order.

He gave a really nice speech right before giving me my diploma.

Bright Pink and Green were my Open House colors.

We had plenty of food!

Day in the Prophetic Word with Tim Munger

I have so enjoyed not having school to do, and yes I'm keeping quite busy even though I'm not going to college and don't have an official job. I'm able to do more housework and read more now. Hopefully later this summer I can do some sewing with my mom. She has had some projects that have been put off, while she was homeschooling, and I'm hoping we can do her sewing projects.

The end of June, Daddy, Mommy, and I went to visit Daddy's mother in Mississippi. We left Je at home and we all missed her terribly!!! Je had a fairly good time without us, and even had some company over.

I think Mommy is enjoying retirement. She made up her own reading program for herself, and she's looking forward to going away with Daddy for a couple of days as her prize for completing her reading program.
Je is still working at the library, and I believe she enjoys it most of the time. There recently was a major change at the library, and she'll be glad when things are back to normal.
Daddy's life isn't terribly exciting. He enjoys walking with Mommy every chance the two of them have.
