OCEANetwork Conference 2012

This past weekend we enjoyed the 2012 OCEANetwork conference.  It was a treat to hear speakers Bill Jack and Michael Farris!  We had such a good time together... and I also graduated in their graduation walk.  But I'll save that post for later!  :)

 Listening to Bill Jack's session on secularism and how it effects us today.

 One thing that I love about conferences is tons of people to meet and interact with!

 Michael Farris was very good as well.

Judah way up there on the second level!

Stay tuned for the next update!

Girl's Day!

The other day we had a spontaneous "Girl's Day" with the S. ladies.  We girls know how to have fun and we always hit the hot spots!  First we went shopping at the Goodwill, then had dinner and ice cream (of course!), and talked and laughed the entire time!  Ah!  The blessing of friends!

 After the delightful day!

Me, Yvonne S, Eden, Shiloh, Elanee S, and Havilah in the front.

Of course there is nothing better than dancing!

Violin Recital

After lots of hard work, I finally had the first movement of Kabalevsky's Violin Concerto in C major ready to perform for my violin recital!  It went so well and I was so happy for yet another time to share the gift of music with others.

 I am so blessed to have Mrs. Carol Taylor as my wonderful violin teacher!

In action!

(Thanks to Mrs. K. for this picture.)

I love the violin and am so thankful for all that God has blessed me with!
