Well, on December 26th I flew out of Des Moines, to Chicago, and then finally to Oklahoma. I spent Wednesday through Monday there, and had an awesome time!! Here are some pictures from my visit! :)

This was on the plane to Chicago...the sun was rising on the other side of the plane, but I still thought this was a very beautiful picture. The sun changing the color of the sky, the clouds ending, and the snow on the ground! :)

The first morning Nancy made me toast! YAY TOAST!!!

That's some good looking toast! :)

The family! :)

Dad and Mom

Going over her doula notebook...

Hannah and Nancy...hehe. We were trying to encourage her with her doula stuff.

 Another picture of them! :)

Isn't it quite fashionable?? I was thinking potholders as earings would be in by now!!

Hannah...

Me and Justus looking at pictures on their camera.

Micah

Nancy!

Nancy massaging her mom's feet. Isn't she such a sweet daughter?

Making Homemade Pizzas!

The most watched movie by the kiddos was Underdog

The kids got boxing gloves, so Hannah and I went at it at one point...

We played a lot of games while I was there. It was a lot of fun! :)

Micah likes to wood burn stuff! I forgot to take pictures of what he made me, though.

Nancy was really sleepy

I found this neat hat lying around the house. hehe

The ride to the airport :*(

I got to Dallas Fort Worth and my flight got cancelled. They put me up in the Marriot Hotel...

The Sunset when I finally left DFW:

A video of us all in the van on the way to the airport. hehehe

I got back to Harvest on Tuesday night. Kim was going through her stuff, and pulled out her new clothes hamper...she fits in it! Her head fits in, too, but then you wouldn't know if she was really in it or not! hehe

Last night Laura discovered some mold underneath the rug in the bathroom by the showers. Her and Kim got some bleach out and went scrubbing!

After they got all the mold off the floor, they had to do the rug, and then redo the floor. This was what was coming off the rug...gross, huh?

Our second semester has now started. I'm taking 3 classes I wasn't taking the first semester, and they are: Spanish, Christian Womanhood, and Poetic Books. Poetic Books is the only one I've had so far, and I'm excited about it. The only book we're focusing on this semester is the Psalms. It's going to be soo good! :)

This is a video that I took with my camera at school...When I'm recording or replaying it there is no sound, so they didn't speak outloud for half of the video. Their facial expressions are priceless!

Well, we just got back from a 2 day leadership retreat at Hidden Acres Christian Center. It was a beautiful camp, and God worked in so many ways. I have never experienced a service like I did last night. Bro. Larry Brown brought forth God's message for us, and it was really good. The song service was amazing, too. I was just in awe of God's presence in the place. 4 people got saved, many got rid of some harboring bitterness, among other decisions were made! I pulled a muscle in my leg playing dodgeball yesterday, and today I got hit in the face with a football, and the back of the head with a basketball. So pleasant the feeling...lol Anyways, here are some pictures.

10 of us (9 cars, 1 buse) were pulled off on the side of the road waiting for 2 more buses to show up to leave for the retreat...

My room at the retreat...

Mine was top bunk :)

The various places at the camp:

Girl's Swim Time!

Chicken!

Sharon playing with the hot tub foam...

They were dragging Kim into the pool, and then threw her in...sorry it's blurry...

I didn't want to swim, so I held Baby Sean, he soon fell asleep. When he woke up I fed him so his mom could go change into dry clothes :)

The evening service was held here:

Bethanie and Mrs. Buchanan sang. I can't remember the name of the song

As did the College Trio. They sang "Guilty As Charged" (I think that's the name of it)

Bro. Marvin, Pastor Smith, and Bro. Buchanan sang...

Air Mattress Surfing!! (I did not participate)

Another Kim look...hehehe

The First Snow of the Year!!!!

We've gotten about 3 1/2 inches of snow in
