"So THIS is what Amish people read..."

At a visit near Yoder, My dad and I stopped at a restaurant to eat. As we were waiting to pay, I looked at a book rack. Half the books featured a lovely farm, and an incredibly beautiful girl staring off into the distance with titles like, "Sarah's decision." One cover even had a beautiful guy on the front, with blond curly hair and a pink background.

2008 Year Review

  • February: After babysitting some cousins, I caught something (or quite possibly several things in a row) and was sick for two weeks straight. It really helped me appreciate life and good health.
  • Odyssey of the Mind: I participated in my last OM competition, with some of my favorite people, and had a blast.
  • Track: During my last ever track season, my coach finally realized that the mile was the race for me.
  • Dressed as a dork for prom
  • Graduation: I finished high school, and celebrated with other friends by going to a couple parties, and playing Ultimate Frisbee on the brand new grass of the school’s football field.
  • Summer started with a random trip to the park, when we all played in a fountain with little kids. This later became the location of our new Bible Study.
  • At camp I had great times with my friends.
    • Staffing…
    • Counseling… (this picture taken during a candy feast while campers were in quiz)
    • And Camping for the last time.
  • Timmy bought us plane tickets to Georgia to visit Trey and Beth Griffith!
  • College Started and I improved my drawing skills.
  • Jon, Tim, and I drove to Arkansas with six 2-liters of cream soda to visit Charles!
  • I had a Halloween party.
  • My family and some friend went to Arizona for Thanksgiving.
  • The semester ended and Eden came home from Peru. The whole family was together for Christmas!
