Hello everyone!
This week at our church the youth group is doing an outreach called Mission: Greensboro and on Friday and Saturday we're going to help with a thing called Rock The Block. Rock The Block is hosted by Teen Challenge and our youth group is going to help set up before it starts (I think) and we're also going to do stuff for the show for the kids'. Violin_Girl_2 and I are both participating. Yesterday, we just stayed at the church and practiced dramas and a human video (if you don't know what that means, it's where you act out a song and people make any props that you need- that's probably a weird description but that's basically what it is...) that we're going to do at Rock The Block. Today, we were divided into four teams and we went and did yard work at some people's houses. They were pretty much all people from Calvary. The group I was in did two houses- first, we went to this guy's house and we mowed his yard, picked up sticks and pulled weeds. He told us that he hadn't been to church in 16 years but that he was going to come and check out Calvary because we were such a help to him. Then, we went to the pastor's house and pulled weeds, picked up some branches that were just lying around in the back yard and swept the walkway and driveway. The reason we did the pastor's house was because he hates to do yard work. Tomorrow, we're going to be cleaning the church all morning and then in the afternoon, we'll be practicing our dramas and human video. In the human video that we're doing, I'm part of the throne (in heaven- it's Jesus' throne) and I'm the cross. Well, there's other people that make up the cross, like the "base" but I'm the cross part (if that makes sense) and "Jesus" is in front of me- the cross. That probably doesn't make much sense but, oh well!


In my last post, I said that I was probably going to start taking piano lessons soon and that I wasn't sure when but my mom talked with A on Sunday and I'm going to start taking piano lessons from her two weeks from this coming Thursday!! I'm excited!


This is pretty long and I've run out of things to talk about! I'll try to post again at the end of the week (or possibly sooner).

From the title of this post, you can probably guess what's going on here. We've been doing lots of cleaning because JC_Cola's graduation is on Saturday and our grandparents are coming for that (and to visit). Wow! I just said everything that I wanted to say in one sentence!  I guess that's a good thing because my mom just called me- probably to clean some more! I'll try to update again either later today or tomorrow (try is the key word there!)

I haven't updated this site in months! A lot has happened since I last updated. Here's some of the things that happened since January 31, 2009.

JC_Cola's birthday
Little Z's birthday
JC_Cola went to China for 2 1/2 weeks (March 26- I think- to April 11)
My dad's sister, my uncle and their daughter came for a few days at the end of April

I can't really think of anything else important or exciting. Well, this past Saturday, Violin_Girl_2 and I went with our youth group to Falcon Children's Home. Violin_Girl_2 and I pulled weeds pretty much the whole time we were there. It was fun though. We got to talk to some of the kids there.
I've got to go now but I'll try to update again soon to finish telling you about our trip to FCH.

Hey! I'm sorry I haven't been posting lately. Merry very late Christmas! Happy late new year! Well, anyway, I'm back for now. I'll try to post like, once every one or two weeks.
It's snowing outside! It started about 30 minutes ago. We're supposed to be getting 2 1/2- 3 inches tonight. I can't wait! I love snow! As long as it is not super icy. I hate ice storms, though. Well, I have to go now. I'll try to update again soon- with pics of Z and everyone else, too!

Yesterday, at the Christian bookstore where JC_Cola works, Natalie Grant came for about an hour to sign autographs. It was fun because there wasn't a ton of people there so we got to talk with her more than if there had been tons of people there. I had brought my 2 Natalie Grant CD's for her to autograph and at the store I got another one. On "Believe," she signed the cover 'To: Sarah! Natalie Grant.' On "Relentless," she autographed the CD 'Natalie' and on "Awaken," she wrote, 'To: The [our last name] girls! Natalie Grant.' It was a lot of fun getting to meet her. Here's a picture of Natalie Grant and me:

Here's one of Violin_Girl_2, O, J, and me with Natalie Grant.

I have some pictures of the Casting Crowns concert we went to last night. But they're on the other computer so I'll post them later.
