Hey peoples! sorry its been so long since my last post, but I've been crazy busy with school.

 In fact, lately it feels like all I do is school.

Anyway, I wanted to ask for prayer for a lady from my church, she's good friend of mine, she just had a misscarriage this week.

And on top of that her youngest son is really sick so if you could keep the Kirby family in your prayers I would deeply appreciate it.

I had the scariest day of my life yesterday.(so did Ethan, poor kid it was his birthday)

My mom had taken my dad in early for his docters appointment, because he had a pinched nerve and obviously he wanted to get rid of that, but he started having numbness in his face and arm, and they thought he might be having a stroke, and family history being what it is, they took him to the hospital by ambulance.

My mom called me from the docters office and told me to go warm up my car, because I had to drive her to the hospital. At this point I was really freaking out because not only was my dad being taken to the hospital, with a possible stroke, but now I had to go drive in witchita, I had never driven outside of clearwater!

So yeah I spent the whole day in the car and in the hospital.

They still (to my knowledge) have no idea whats really wrong with him. They werent really sure if it was a stroke or not, They kept him overnight for observation, and tests.

so yes, Prayers would be VERY much appreciated.

Anyway, I better go, I'm keeping an eye on the little kids today, and right now they are being unually quiet.

                                    Later all! -E

Hey folks! Guess what? .....  I'm Finally Updating!!!!!

Yesterday was a good day, I got all my school work done, I got to watch he adorable Kroker boys, I went to dance class, and found out I might have a job of sorts.

I might be making dance costumes for the dance center with Christy Peterson who is the lady who usually makes all the cozies by herself.

Dana showed her the purses I made her and Tara for christmas, and Christy asked if I could maybe help her, Will either get paid in moneys, or in free dance costumes.

I'm rather hoping its the former.

oh yeah. I got THE coolest book for christmas! its called GenerationT its about refashioning old t-shirts into these fantastic new creations.

I have made eight projects from it so far, altough I only have kept a few of them. (I always end up giving away most of the stuff I make, cus I make stuff so often that I rn out of room for things.)

I'm going to post pictures of my new things sometime this week, or early next depending on when I can get the camera to work.

Anyway, I gotta go, I have loads of school work to do.

  Happy Christmas to you, Happy Christmas to me, Happy christmas to us, and a lovely new year!!!!!!

I just had a very musical pre-Christmas weekend,

I went to senseny music, and bought more rosin and looked at cello's  and Violas with my dad, I also bought a really cool bumper sticker for my car, it says "Musician: will play for food"

I saw an awesome new band that everyone should totally checkout, called Appalaician Christmas Quartet. They are a band that only gets to gether at christmas time, they were bloody wicked, in fact I'm gonnna go see them again on friday. they use up to 70 Instruments in theur concerts, they have even made up new instruments, like the boomwacker,the PVCiano, floor tubes, and chime lyres

I also played at the Barn on saturday, and became semi-famous...I was in fact approached at the store by a complete stranger, who  apparently is a big fan.

I also also might have found a new violin teacher! YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

he is the violinist for the afore mentioned band. cool huh?

and my dad asked me on sunday to play with the special praise band they are putting together for next week, which means I'll have to leave my dance class early tomorrow to make it to practice.

Anyways, I need to go, I hope all of you have a Happy Christmas!
