V.I.D. - Very Important Dates

                                                    Source: theoccasionaltraveller.wordpress.com via Katie on Pinterest

It's hard to believe October is less than two week from being over!!!
School is in full swing and lots of things are going on!!
I figured I might let y'all know what kinds of exciting things are coming up in the upcoming months. :D

October 19: I found out who my CollegePlus! coach is!

October 31: It's Halloween...my family doesn't go all out or anything, but it's cute to see my little siblings all decked out in adorable costumes! (and who doesn't love all the chocolate you get, anyhow?!)

November 11: My CollegePlus! start date!!!!

November 13: My twin brothers' 15th birthday.

November 24: Thanksgiving...basically just an excuse to stuff ourselves like there's no tomorrow. (oh and be thankful :D)

November 27: My 18th birthday..oh my. I'll be ancient!!

December 1: My family will get out all of our Christmas decorations!!!!

December 25: Christmas :) it'll be Meddie's first Christmas in America, so this one will be extra special...

January: (not sure about the exact date) Google Buzz will be officially shut down. This is quite sad because Buzz is where it's happenin'!!! (if you're in CP! that is)

January 1: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!

January 8: My brother Nathan turns 9!!

January 26-30: CP! gathering in California. This is what my paychecks are currently going towards. I want to go REALLY bad!

Besides these very exciting events that are coming up, I have school, work, three Bible studies, time for my family, etc.
It's crazy busy, but I love it! :)
I'm sure you all are super busy as well.
Make sure time for God is always a priority...(I'm preaching this to myself as well)
Have a great weekend!
(to all my Sioux City readers, I'm working 5-10 tomorrow at Gap. Come visit me!!)

Love,
Katie :)

FRIDAY!!!! :D

Yes, I do realize Friday was yesterday, but I just wanted to share what my Friday looked like.
Through pictures!!!!!! :D

it started off with innocently sleeping in till 9:15  

>.<

 then i did school (i'm just doing math right now)

then it was off to the homeschool event of BOWLING! 

(this one has LOTS of pictures)

 This was my little sister Meddie's first time bowling!

She looked so adorable in her shoes! :D

 I had to use the xx-small bowling ball >.<

 This was my bowling team! They were the best at making it an absolute blast!

love you girlies! <3

 *giggle*

 Meddie's bowling form was spot on! 

 So was Nathan's!

 This was the team in the lane next to us.

 It consisted of my twin brothers and their crazy friends!

 My superb bowling form!

(just so y'all know, i throw the ball backwards. i have no idea why. i just can't do it the right way!)

my brothers and their friends named their bowling balls O.o

from left to right (skip the blue ball):

the lasagna ball, the cherry bomb, and the gumball

such creativity in these young minds!

After bowling, I got to have three of my Reynolds sisters over! :D

We had A BLAST!

Then when my mom took them home, Mrs. Reynolds presented me with a disk with all my senior pictures she had recently taken. (THANK YOU SO UBERLY MUCH, MRS. REYNOLDS! <3)

I'll show you a few of my favorites!

 (quick note about this one: i LOVE taking pictures of lampposts. i mean LOVE it. so that's why i was hugging the poor thing to death)

so that was the more interesting parts of my Friday.

others included welcoming Sarah Reynolds to Buzz (congratulations!), babysitting my younger siblings while my parents went out on a date, and crying through the movie Bambi.

may all your Fridays be wonderful.

Love,

Katie :)
