Teen outing :)

Hello :) and good afternoon. Are ya'll having a good day? :0) I do hope so!
This last week has been rather fun! I completed a skirt I had been working on off-and-on all week and am quite happy with how it turned out. :) I used a pateren for making it and am looking forward to starting on another one and doing a little tweaking to it.
Saturday Faith had a teen outing... :)
The weather could not have possibly been any better. The leaves where changing colors, the air was crisp (but not freezing), the sky was blue. :) and Trevor came!!!
We went to Sky Top to pick/buy some apples.

And did a good bit of goofing off in front of the camera.

It was a blast!

Then, after finishing there we headed out for DuPont Forest.
Twice a year once in the spring and again in the fall the FODF (Friends of DuPont Forest) offer shuttle bus rides to some of the water falls as a fund raiser.
Not all of the the teens were able to make the trip. :( We missed them.

We were told over and over not to step on any wet rocks because when wet they become very slippery. Trevor and I saw one guy who proved this point quite well. Poor guy, it was chilly out and he was totally soaked. We saw him again about thirty minutes after he had fallen in and he looked miserable!


:) I hope you enjoy the pictures.

Have a great Day!!!

Wow I'm getting old!!! I am now 20!
Here the pictures of the Home party... :)
Little brothers watching the gifts being opened.

Lance pulled out a bat man mask which everyone had to model for a picture.
:)
The thought and care they put into the gifts is slightly overwhelming.
Trying on a totally awesome jacket from Adah. :)

Trevor gave me a beautiful necklace and a charm for my bracelet. :) And lots of hugs and kisses... The Hersey kind of course. :)

After that came a game of risk... A very long game of risk!

JEB in his own little world. :)
Wow! At work on Wednesday, Ashley and L.D.'s Wednesday night, Home Thursday evening, and then the Castlebury's Friday night; I have had a full week of people celebrating with me. You have made it a very special and memorable birthday. :) Thank ya'll very much!!!

I have been greatly blessed with wonderful friends and family. Hmm have I been the friend I ought to be for them??? What can I do for them that I have not been doing? Do I show them how much they really mean to me? After this last week I feel very well, undeserving.
~~~~~~~~
I have a question... How do you meekly or modestly receive a gift and at the same time show you truly are thankful for it?
You did nothing to deserve it yet they put thought, time, and money into it.
Do you have any suggestions???
