Oh Nuts

Happy New Years Eve everyone!!!!! January: Yavi and I went out to Wachington D.C. for the 40th annual March For Life. We went with a large group from the area. Even though the day of the march was a bit cold it was still amazing to see all of the pro-life people who were there. On the way back the bus that Yavi and I were on had a singing competition and Yavi came in second place! Yavi and I also made it onto the front page of the Catholic News Service (CNS)! I had also gotten rather sick at the beginning of the month. I also went and saw Les Miserables with Yavi and my dearest mother. February: Amanda, Yavi and I finally got to meet our friend Maddy, who we had met online throught the Fairy Tale Novel books by Regina Doman and the fan forum ! TJ also finished up his basketball games.  March: I turned 19. We got a new pope! And for Amanda's birthday we got a surprise visit from our dear friend Elena! Since Amanda's boyfriend came out for a week to vis...

--- 1 --- Tomorrow is the last day of the August Photo a Day that I have been doing. Though I will miss doing this I will try to post pictures on here as often as I can. Not to mention occasional posts about what going on in my life :) --- 2 --- Last week my brother started reading The Fairy Tale Novels by Regina Doman. He has enjoyed reading them.  --- 3 --- I was going to put the instructions for the backpack that I made in this weeks 7 Quick Takes but they are a bit to long for this sort of thing so I put the instructions in their own post, which will be posted next week. :) In the meantime here is a picture that I took of the backpack that I made :) --- 4 --- Last week when my family and I were at Wal-Mart getting some things my brother and I were by the sunglasses because we both needed a pair. This is what the pair I got looks like. There was another pair like that and my brother was going to get them but I talk him out of getting those ones and ge...

--- 1 --- Last weekend we went to a wedding! It was a family friend who was married so everything was very nice. The church that the mass and wedding ceremony was beautiful and old (though it was kind of out it n the middle of know where). All of the bridesmaids dresses were very pretty, the bride's dress was pretty as well. The reception was fun as well. During the reception Yavi caught the bouquet during the bouquet toss. --- 2 --- As you know I have been doing a photo a day thing. It has been interesting trying to come up with things to take pictures of. But it has been fun so far. Monday's was a little hard to do since it was early and I am not an early morning person. So a hand drawn sun rise was the next best thing. --- 3 --- The actor who will be playing the 12th doctor was announced on Sunday. I am going to say this now in case any Doctor Who fans don't want to find out until the Christmas special but: Spoilers! So now that you have been warned about s...

Since I posted my first version on my old blog I decided to post this version here since it is the newest. If you haven't watched the old one before you can watch this one and make sure to check out Regina Doman's website and books which you can find here !

--- 1 --- Last week Friday, my mom, Yavi, Rosalind and myself got to see Regina Doman and her husband Mr. Andrew again. It was nice to see them. They were in town for a homeschool conference in our area. Once it closed for the night on Friday we went out for ice cream together. Though it took us a couple minutes to find a parking space. We had just walked out of the parking garage and gotten under the awnings from the stores and it starts pouring rain. So we had to wait about twenty minutes for it to stop raining. But we finally got to Coldstone Creamery and ice cream. --- 2 --- The weather last week and this week has been rather crazy and not very July. Since it has been in the 70's and 60's it has felt more like fall than summer. On Sunday Yavi said that the weather made her want to start school again. It is interesting how one week it was in the uper 90's then goes to the 60's and 70's the following week. --- 3 --- On Wednesday last week Amanda, Ya...
