Blog Award and Tag

Hey everybody,

Sorry it has been so long since I last posted. Life shifts into high speed and slowing it down is not the easiest thing to do. So let me get you up to date with what has happened since I last posted.

I have received a blog award!! I received Excellence in Blogcasting from Rachel M. and J.J.!!! Thank you so very much! I am very happy that you enjoy reading my blog and I hope it blesses you in some way. I give this award to Anne, Rachel H., Ellie, Olivia, and Sarah. I am pretty sure that everyone else has this one.

I also tagged you the other day...but it was about the same time as someone else! But don't worry, you don't have to do it again! Also, I saw that you were teaching yourself guitar! I am teaching myself as well! What kind of guitar are you learning on? I play an acoustic. And what sort of music are you thinking of playing on it? (Sorry, if I seem rather nosy...I am always glad to find someone else that plays guitar to swap guitar knowledge with!) Also, I was wondering how long you have been playing? I have been playing for about 3 years...Well, I think I have been asking too many questions! Bye now!
In Christ,
Sarah Grace

I really enjoyed your 50 things! What is the subject of the book you are writing? Plus I am surprised it has been 8 months with braces!

You know we love you! Jill

Sorry...I haven't been blogging a whole lot lately!

I know how it is to miss a candy! I went without Milk Duds for 2 years...:(

Sword-fighting. I would think that that would HURT! But, hey, if it got you to Narnia, what more could you ask?
