Camera

2008-07-14T22:23:00.000-07:00

So I take a lot of pictures, and I can't take them if I my computer doesn't read my memory card. And of course, my computer cannot read my memory card AND I don't have a USB cord for it either. So, I've been without my camera for months now and I found a USB cord that came with my new computer and it doesn't fit my camera.. BUT I remembered a cord on our hope chest that looked like it would fit, and it did! I can start taking pictures again! Thank the Lord!

Camp

2008-06-20T07:59:00.000-07:00

Today is the day I leave for the CEF camp. I'm gonna learn how to teach kids about Christ. I won't be back until the following Saturday, the 28th. Please be praying for me throughout those 8 days and for the kids we will be reaching out to! Many thanks.

School..

2008-06-07T16:44:00.000-07:00

Man, now I don't want school to be over with.. The other day I found out that my friend was gonna move to Spanaway durring the summer and she might not be coming back to Wilson. And, I received my finals schedule and I have finals the day before we get out of school! What's up with that?? UGH. On the other hand, I might work at a coffee shop in Freighthouse Square. I love that place! <3

The Kittens!

2008-06-01T19:23:00.000-07:00

Here are the wonderful kittens! Aren't they cute?! They are really active now, and every time you pass by their cage, they meow and want attention. They are learning to pounce now too!

How do you live your dash?

I read of a man who stood to speak

At the funeral of a friend.

He referred to dates on the tombstone

From the beginning.... to the end.

He noted that first came her date of birth,

And spoke the following date with tears,

But he said what mattered most of all

Was the dash between those years (1921-1960)

...

For the dash represents all the time

That she spent alive on earth.

Arid now only those who loved her

Know what that little line is worth.

For it matters not, how much we own:

The cars...the house... the cash,

What matters is how we live and love

And how we spend our dash.

...

So think about this long and hard....

Are there things you'd like to change?

For you never know how much time is left,

That canstill be re-arranged.

If we could just slow down enough

To consider what's true and real,

And always try to understand

The way other people feel.

...

And be less quick to anger,

And show appreciation more

And love the peole in our lives

Like we've never loved before

If we treat each other with respect,

And more often wear a smile..

Remembering that this special dash

Might only last a little while.

...

So, When your eulogy's being read

With your life's actions to rehash...

Would you be proud of the things they say

About how you spent your dash?

Today I went orinenteering, and we split up into two groups. The one I was in finshed in 28 minutes. The other group however... Took 1 hour and 5 minutes. The funny thing? We called them up in the car and asked them where they were.

Michelle: "Hey, Where are you guys?"
Amanda: "Down at the beach."
Michelle: "What?! You guys shouldn't be anywhere near the beach!" (we did the same course as them)
Amanda: "-in the background: See, I told you Morgan!-

Later on when we found them, we told them where the sixth control was. We had to go find them. So, me and Jess hoped out of the car and ran after them. Little did we know, they had gone back up a different way. So, we ended up on the beach. Ironic huh?

My sis and I got into an argument and finally she was like "Your Mom"
And I was like "...."
"You did not just go there."
And she was like "Yuh I did."
And I was like "Your Dad."
And she was like "Your step Dad."
And I was like "Your step mom"
And she was like "Your eight siblings"
And I was like "......Theres Nine."
And she was like "....."

Poem

2008-01-07T21:26:00.001-08:00

Do not stand at my grave and weep,
I'm not there, I do not sleep,
I am the thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints of snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumns rain,
Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

Hey, how are you all doing? Im good. Anyway, I went to the AWANA conference today. I found it really helpful. I think the part that impacted me the most was the beginning. Our speaker this year was Steve Pigott. His message was that for example, your car breaks down. All you can do is step back and say, "Oh well." Cursing at your car isn't gonna do anything to help fix your car and neither is hitting the steering wheel.

Okay, so I was trying to make a video with one of my favorite songs and I couldn't get it uploaded to youtube. But after several hours of frustration, I did it! Check it out.

Okay, I have a request for a new post. Yea, it's been awhile. Hmm... What could I talk about? Oooo! I know. I don't know if I have told any of you this yet, but I've been looking at doing a mission trip through teen missions since, well, for awhile. And, I might actually get to go. If I were to go, I would want to go to Egypt. There, we (there's a team that goes) would mix and pour concrete sidwalks that will connect many of the buildings at the orphanage. That's were the team is staying at. While we are there, we will enjoy the time spent with the children as we share God's love through music, drama, puppets and testimonies. We will also be able to visit the nearby caves where Mary and Joseph stayed with the Christ Child during our free time. (I got all of this from the teen missions magazine) The only problem, is getting the money to go. It costs $3590, and you have to get money for passports.

Something interesting came to me today. During our church's service today, out Pastor was talking about running away from God, and how you can go anywhere in the world, but he will still be there. But somewhere in there, he mentioned that Jonah had to walk 2,500 miles or something like that, but he never made it. Anyway, it made me think about walking nowadays. When I walk to church, and I'm a block away, I think 'Oh thank you, I'm almost there!' and that's less than a mile. Back then, people didn't have bikes or cars or anything like that and had to walk everywhere they went. How did they do it?!

I got my permit yesterday! Third times the charm. I am so happy. I'll probably start off with driving down 45th and in parking lots.

This is a picture of the Columbia River over by Spokane. I took this on the way home. Isn't it pretty? I love it. I have more pictures, but this one is my favorite.

Home

2007-07-19T21:11:00.000-07:00

I am so glad to be home. 40 degree difference between here and Spokane. Glad it's raining too. You might not, but I am. It only rained once and it was for like, 5 minutes. I missed you guys. It was a mad house over there. 11 pets, and 6 kids. Crazy. But anyway, it was fun. I'll try to get pictures on here from the trip.

Update from Spokane

2007-07-13T20:35:00.000-07:00

Hey everyone,
How are you? I hope your good. I miss you guys. It's been super hot over here. Highest temperature I think was 102? Something like that. Anyways, I've been alright. Except for melting. I'm having fun, but I'm looking forward to coming home. We just had a really cool thunder storm and we went and chased it. Pretty awesome lightning. But I hope your not all melting like I am.

Can't wait to come home,
Brittany

Lakewold Gardens

2007-06-24T09:26:00.000-07:00

Yesterday was the tour of the Lakewold Gardens that some ladies of the church attended. As you can see, it was a huge success. Morgan and me were able to capture the beauty of the garden. We learned lots of interesting facts about the garden and how it came to be as it is now.

Owens Beach

2007-06-22T13:04:00.000-07:00

These were taken at Owens Beach in Point Deffiance park. They were taken June 22, 2007. It was so much fun. The boys found a jelly fish and were trying to 'pet' it. The we went on a walk while we waited for Carmen. After that, they all played kickball. And soon after that it started to rain... But it was time for lunch anyway. We had ice cream after that... So good... Anyways, it was really fun!
