February 2022

Hey ya'll! I've been lagging behind on blogging; life has just been chugging along like crazy. :D
We had a great, busy February, with some snow storms and an ice-storm.
The ice storm made for some beautiful pictures, but also resulted in everything closed down for a few days.

We got at least an inch of ice, plus snow and ice pellets on top - impossible combination to shovel.
I got to babysit the Harms kiddos a few times in February. It's so fun to spend time with them.
Out for chai with friends, Clarissa and Victoria! :)
Matching with my dear friends, Melanie and Jenny!

Went for a walk with Victoria one snowy day.
Studying with friends in the Commons. :)
Ms. Jess has "snack-parties" in her office from time to time, and various campus families makes homemade goodies for everyone. Ms. Jess is happiest when there's a party going on, and if there isn't one happening, she starts one. :)
So good to see our friend, Gaby, who was visiting GBS for a couple days.
Matching with my friend, Kendra!
SWSE time: 8:00 a.m.

Babysitting the Harms kiddos at our house.
Playing "house" :)
Stephen and Stewart enjoyed playing Stratego.
Corn hole
Mother has been making quilts and continues to love it!

My friend Felicia has been doing a wonderful job with a 10-week theme at Jr. church!


The youth singing at church one Sunday night.

All the youth who went to PA Youth Convention shared about their time there.
Studying with friends in the library at GBS.
D-group at the Quesenberry's home.

My friend Esther got married in KS, and we watched it online.

One Saturday I met my friends Brittany and Elisa at Velocity coffee shop and then we studied at a library for hours.

I got to go to a Deaf Fellowship Dinner one evening that the Union, KY Deaf community was hosting. It was a really great time!

Choir Sunday out! We had services in Dayton, OH, and Goshen, OH.

Got to see my sweet friends, the Dickinsons.

A rainy day on campus...
2-22-22 fell on a Tuesday, so we called it Twos-day! :D
It was a fun day to be in Mrs. Frederick's classes at GBS.
Choir Tour was Feb. 23-March 3! We had services in IN, AL, TN, SC, NC.
Jocelyn, Clarissa, and me
Getting ready for a service in Talladega, AL.
Beautiful flowers in AL.
Our great bus-driver, Bro. Cooley!
Hanging out in a mall one day...
It was so good to see and spend 2 nights with friends Renee and Taylor Messner!
Sweet friends, the Parkers and Vernons, in AL.
We stopped at 3 Buc-ee's gas stations (a gas station on steroids), and we got to sing a choir song at 1 of them.
FL!
Sunday morning in Lakeland, FL.
All the ladies in choir
My dear friend, Melanie. So thankful I got to do 1 choir tour with her!
Sunday afternoon service, my old friends/coworkers, the Redfords, came to see me! It had been nearly 3 years since we'd seen each other! So wonderful to catch up a bit.
One morning, my friend Cailyn and I got up early to watch the FL sunrise. Sadly, the fog was so dense that there wasn't a sunrise, but we weren't disappointed, because we saw some beautiful scenes.
Cailyn took this for me.
One day we got to spend 2.5 hours at Disney Springs.
I met up with my friend Cassie and her boy and got to spend another 2 hours with her. :)
Ready for another service in FL!
We were fed so well and taken care of so kindly during our whole trip!
An after service picture with a friend of Mr. Crater's, who encouraged us to smile more. :D
Another Buc-ee's stop while traveling.

After the service in SC, we 4 girls got to spend the night at a host family's home...
I enjoyed seeing such beautiful flowers down South! (This was called a Camillia tree)
Lunch stop!
Our last service was in Thomasville, NC.
This is only some of the many pictures I took from choir tour. It was an amazing 9 days traveling with the choir. Not all fun moments, but definitely memories made! So thankful God gave me that opportunity and that I got to do it with college friends! :) I also enjoyed making new friends along the way, and see God answer many prayers, and working in my life and the lives of those around me! Praise the Lord.
