Well...

It's a real shame that I haven't been keeping up with such a good-looking blog!

I should be sleeping right now...but I just can't!!

I loved coming home this last weekend. It was sad to not have Dash greet me at the fence. I sorely miss that handsome boy; he was one of a kind.

I enjoyed getting to know Playboy and Sugar better, and Red is doing AMAZING. They all look great, and they seem to be really happy.

Sally is such a funny hen! It will be exciting to see how all the smaller chicks, ducks, and geese will turn out and what they'll be like.

I so appreciated having a pool once again. I loved being able to swim with all of you and ride horses with the older girls, and go purchase clothes with most of my sisters and mom. :)

Thank you all for being so patient with a silly girl who gets caught up with school and an equally silly boy. I am glad you all seem to like Michael well enough, though. I think he's pretty fun myself.

I can't wait until the end of this semester! I love learning, especially anatomy and physiology...but I really don't know how people can go to college year round sometimes. I really miss you all, and I want to just have some time with you again.

I also wanted to post a couple of pictures that Lark took when she came to visit when we saw "The Price of Freedom." I think you will appreciate these pictures; I did.

I sure do miss this girl! She was one amazing dog, wasn't she?

Says one, "I cannot believe in the salvation of beasts." Any man who would tell you that this could not be, would tell you that the revelations are not true. John heard the words of the beasts giving glory to God, and understood them. God who made the beasts could understand every language spoken by them. The four beasts were four of the most noble animals that had filled the measure of their creation, and had been saved from other worlds, because they were perfect: they were like angels in their sphere. We are not told where they came from, and I do not know; but they were seen and heard by John praising and glorifying God.
