Life in May 2011

What a long month it has been. Yet, it still seems to have flown by.

I had a lovely Mother's Day because, after church, we went to used book sale! I love books, especially if they are cheap. I even found some books we will be needing for the next school year. I got a big box full for only $14.  I was really excited because I found the complete Anne of Green Gables series for 25 cents a piece.  

I had a birthday this month. That means I am now 32. I'm not sure how I feel about this. I kind of feel like this means I'm getting old but I honestly don't feel old. I'll just take it one year at a time. I am praying that I can age with grace. I don't want to make a big deal about getting wrinkles. Even though I feel a little panicky when I look in the mirror and see crow's feet and a line going straight across my forehead. This post is pretty inspiring.


My family had a reunion. We have it every year at a park. We actually lucked out on the weather because they were calling for storms for that day..

I also have some news worth rejoicing over! Trista was baptized this month. I'm so proud of her! Below is a video of my cousin, who was just ordained the week before, baptizing her. 




We also had some crazy wind here and lost the top half of one of our maples. Now it is only half its height.




When it hasn't been raining or storming we have been spending a majority of our days outside. We had a pretty good month. We are now looking forward to June and summer!

"Education is thus a most powerful ally of humanism, and every American school is a school of humanism. What can a theistic Sunday school's meeting for an hour once a week and teaching only a fraction of the children do to stem the tide of the five-day program of humanistic teaching?" — C.F.
