Spring Break


I had a wonderful spring break this past week. Isaiah came up for the weekend and we had a wonderful time cooking out, hiking, spreading manure over the fields, watching movies, sightseeing, walking, and lots of talking together and with the family.

We went on a three mile hike on the Pea Ridge trail.
Danny got it easy up on Isaiah's shoulder.

Us young folks drove down to Liberty for church. Afterward we all went to Pulaski County Park and had a cook out and played games. It was lots of fun.

I worked all week but was so happy to be able to do things like wash dishes, shower without flip flops, run around the farm with bare feet, go for drives through the country side, wear my hair down, spread manure (believe it or not, spreading manure is sooo much fun!) and all the other wonderful things I never thought I would miss so much.

Bonding time with Zeke. We went out for a movie and ice cream.

We also bought a little watermelon and ate it up at the capitol overlook on Louisville Hill.


On Sunday afternoon Mom and some of us children went to Frankfort and walked the Riverfront and up Fort Hill. We had a wonderful time and got some very nice pictures. I am just loving this spring weather!

Sisters. I didn't put a picture of us standing on because I came home to discover my youngest sister now towers several inches taller then me. I have now been exceeded in height by all but my very youngest sibling (who is five). And I'm the second oldest! No fair!

Love the fresh green grass!

Mom's mean photography skills.

I am so thankful that God has given me all of these wonderful blessings to miss and to enjoy. He has blessed me with a wonderful family, an amazing boyfriend, a home in the country, health, a good education,and the list goes on and on. I am so thankful!

I am now back to the grind of school but I am looking forward to only a month and a week before I finish my freshman year and come home for a full three months.
I have a power point presentation to do tomorrow and then I get to go work at the Home school Convention. We have gone there many times in the past. It is certainly going to be different working there. I am looking forward to it.
