My family entering 2009

Here we all are doing well and trying to live our lives to the glory of God. God Bless and Happy New Year!

Wow... 2009

This year has gone really fast, the summer flew buy and now so has the fall semester. Christmas was great. We did our presents on the 24th and then on the 25th my mother and I cooked dinner for our family and our pastor and his wife came over. The dinner was great if i do say so myself and I also made a beautiful cheesecake with raspberry sauce. Then a few days later I became a no-longer-teenage-adult. I am officially 20! My birthday was great. During the morning mom, Anton, and I went shopping. We found some great sales and I bought a nice shirt. Then we went to the mall and I got my ears pierced, painful but should prove fun later on, thanks for the cash for the G-ma :) After our full day of shopping we went home and had dinner and watched the movie Mansfield Park. Anton's friend ashley was here and so was Karrissa, I had a great evening. Now I am just trying to enjoy the rest of my break before I start school again on the 12th. So far I am totally enjoying it! Love you and talk to you later :)

December 6th... 23 days to go :)

Well, I am currently going crazy! Friday was my Persuasive Speech, it went well but I was so nervous!. Last night my friend Nathanael came over for dinner we played a game, ate pizza, and watched my favorite Christmas movie (White Christmas), it was fun and it was nice to see him, since he lives in Arizona I don't see him very often. Then today I ran, it was freezing!!!!!!! 20° and windy. Then ever since then I have been studying for my finals. I have to read my recipes for Mon, Tues, and Wed. organize a flow chart so I can do them in the allotted time and have them turn out well :) I also have a big nutrition final on monday and another speech on Friday. Then next week I have 3 written finals and the classes will be scouring the kitchens as school during our end of the semester cleaning. The should be fun ;)
I have been thinking a lot about my birthday and how it will be to be 20 this year. No more teen behind your name, I think it will be weird. But hey, that is all right now Love you,

Back in the city :)

Hey everybody :) Happy Thanksgiving!! the other day and now it is time to start thinking about Christmas!!!!
I had a great time at Thanksgiving, Grandma the turkey and ham were great, wonderful German Chocolate cake Lisa, and I love the rolls Uncle Jeff :) Eating all the food and watching the fellowship was great. I am so thankful for my family. For the ability to spend time together and enjoy each others company. I am also thankful for the prayers for me as i go to school. i have made friends and am really enjoying the class. Right now I am back at the H's and playing with the kids and enjoying myself. I love you all!

Today at school=yummy

Well today I made cream puffs and carmel sauce. It was fun and yummy. Here are some pictures. Spending a whole lot of time at school :) Love you all.

Anton...

Well, as you know he is a SR this year and loving it though he is ready for a break for a few days. I had a opportunity earlier in the year to take some pics of him and I think he is using some a Sr. Pics. Last saturday he went to Semi-state, he ran a PR but he didn't advance. It was cold that day but I had fun watching. In fact some of the underclassmen are really crazy, a bunch of boys painted their bodies with the word Anton (and on their backs the word Brenna, the girl runner from PENN at Semi-state) A few races ago he and 9 other guys came to our house and cut mohawks into their hair, it was a little crazy looking :) but you know they are guys I don't always understand them. So here are some of the pictures I have taken of him.

My life now...aka college

Well, I have been really, really, busy. I have made a lot of very interesting food and am following with some pictures of some of the dishes. Speech class is going well but I still don't like it at all! I am getting an A in English!! and in most of my other classes too. I have a partner named Don who is in most of my class and he is absolutely wonderful. He is helpful, caring, and encouraging a great partner for any class and I think we will be in a class together next semester too. I also have another friend named jenni who is wonderful too. We went to dinner after out long monday and had a blast. We will be in multiple classes together next semester. So far this has been my semester. Love you all lots :)

Freshman again :)

Hi everyone school is going amazingly well. I have cooked a lot of yummy things and everything has turned out great. I gave my first speech and it went well even thought I was so NERVOUS. I was really excited because I got my 1st English paper back on Friday and as the teacher handed it to me she said: " nice job you are prepared for college writing." I was thrilled. Well, I will keep you posted :)
