I'm Home! :D

I'm home....home home home home HOME! :D
I do want to be home but I don't want to be home. I LOVED the Family Bible Conference and wanted to stay for THREE more days! I got to see all of my wonderful friends...which includes some of you that just may be reading this post. *winks* :D
The teaching was very good, and I got to learn a bit more about John Calvin. This year is his 500th Birthday...could you imagine being THAT old?! :)
I was also blessed with the opportunity to meet a couple of new friends, and greatly enjoyed their company. I got to--once again--see Rebecca Martinez from "Texan by the Grace of God". She's a dear friend and I enjoyed being with her. (I only get to see her once a year!)
Once again, they had a Barn Dance, and I got to dance NINE times! I also got to learn "Postie's Jig"...a VERY fast and fun dance. (I was going to take a video, but never got around to it.) We all enjoyed several fast and furious games of Ultimate Frisbee, and I DID take a video of that! :D (It shall be located at the bottom:) Besides being hit multiple times in the mouth and head, being whacked on the hand (which is now bruised,:) by the frisbee, and having my feet stepped on multiple times unbeknown to him by Sir_Furious from "Sir_Furious"...I lived and had a great time. :) I actually caught the frisbee a couple of times...for once in my life...:) I'm not a great frisbee player...and two of my friends in particular can testify to that!
The Barn Dance was just absolutely plain fun. Nothing more nothing less. I won't tell you who all I danced with, because you wouldn't know them. (You ought to, though...they're GREAT people! Every single one of them.) During the last Postie's Jig, they played a fast and energizing version of "Star of the County Down". I tried to find it on playlist, but, alas...to no avail. If I do find it, I shall tell you all IMMEDIATELY! :D Unfortunately, I wasn't able to get too many pictures of the dancing; and when I or my dad did, they were fuzzy. I'm afraid that you shall just have to try and make out the fuzzy ones. In these right here, I'm dancing with a young man I met. (He's in the blue shirt.) We both learned Postie's Jig together...and by Friday night we had it down pretty well! :) Daddy had been taking pictures, but the lens on my camera got stuck and wouldn't take any more until the next morning. :(









As usual, the weather fitted the mood perfectly: gray and gloomy. It was Saturday morning...and I did NOT want to leave all of my friends for a whole year. Saturday morning is always sad. Sure, there's still laughing and what-not...but I didn't want to leave.
Anyway, here are the pictures. I'm sorry about rambling so much...but I've got some other things to do before my hour on the computer is up. :( Trust me...I took a TON more pictures that this, but these are just some select few. :) (I've also added some pictures of myself in the choir--I'm on the far right in a pink shirt and blue/pink skirt-- and some of my friends playing the violin before a couple of the sessions.)

ttyl!
In Christ,
