Can you believe it's been over 3 weeks since I posted?! I can't give you an exact reason for everyday, but it generally runs into 1, I was too busy with school. 2, for some reason I couldn't get online. 3, I wasn't at home.

And because I have such limited memory I won't give you a detail of every day last week. How 'bout a general thing?

Dad was gone the 11th through the 14th working in Salisaw. And now he has the whole week off.

We had a lovely visit with Kent and family! We talked and talked and played games. The father/daughter conference was wonderful. Mama and Naomi had a lovely birthday celebration. Us kids from Joshua and up went to see Treasure Planet in the Imax (Mama and Dad went to see it today for their date.) and loved it!

Last night Mama, Naomi, and I got to go to a mother/daughter craft night at Kelly Holliday's home. We made Christmas ornaments and had some snacks and visited. there were *counts on fingers* 8 last names there (I think). It was a lot of fun. Kelly is such a dear lady!

I am now officially hooked on Victorian Inn French Vanilla Cappucinio.

I did terrible in the chess tournament. I lost decently to my first opponent, but I was way better than the next 2 and should have creamed them, but it somehow got switched and they creamed me. And then I had a bye, and then lost decently to Samuel. Samuel did pretty much the same. Mr. Sawyer said that's pretty normal for people's first tournament. Joshua and Ethan won 5th place in their separate divisions!

And now I have to go. And I will return sometime before 3 weeks from now!
