Camping Trip

One of our trips this summer was to Indian Lake with Greg's Family. My mother-in-law's friend has a camper at a campground there. We were right by the beach part of the lake and could just walk right down to swim. We also tubed, went boating and fishing. One night we went on go-karts...that was SO much fun! It ended up being a crazy race between us all. It was bad...my car even got knocked sideways on the track and the workers had to come and move it for me! It was an awesome trip!


Getting ready to go tubing!!!!!
Tubing out on the Lake. 95% of this lake is 5 feet deep or less so it is pretty safe which we loved! It was wierd to be swimming and walk way out and it's still not even deep!

On Sunday morning we had Church around our campfire. All of the guys did 5 minute messages, including my 3 and 5 year old nephews! They did a great job!

Our cozy tent. We borrowed this tent...there was a divider in the middle, Keith and Mechel were on one side and Greg and I on the other. It was so nice! I had never slept in a tent before and I loved it! We slept sooo good! Way better than I thought we would!

Let me explain why I have not posted in SO long! I have started a post several times but want to upload pictures with them since I don't have anything very exciting to write about! But I am having problems with my card reader and cannot upload my new pictures. So here is another one from our honeymoon!

Last week was our church's youth camp. I wnt as a counselor and had a great time! We had 11 girls, ages 8-12 in our cabin and 4 counselors. My sister-in-law taught on the book of Ruth everyday and we taught the girls how to make several crafts. They learned how to make fleece scarves, hair bows, bracelets and paint little wooden signs. I taught them some songs and a little bit about music. Everday we went swimming for 2 hours and then had a lot of other activity time. It was really fun and I hope I was a blessing to the girls! They are all great girls and I really desire to see them grow up and always serve God!

Today is our 4 month anniversary! Marriage has been absolutely wonderful. Despite the negative remarks people made to us before we got married, it has been awesome so far!

I am going to make another attempt at getting pictures on here and then I will show you all some of the jewlery I've made!

Hello Everybody

I don't have anything much to post but I figure it's better than not posting. This week I am cleaning my house, doing laundry and packing. We have to clean out our guest room and get the house all ready for company before we leave for NY. We leave this Saturday and come home next Saturday. My family will be coming in on Sunday or Monday. All my sisters and Felicia will be staying here with us! I am so excited.

Anyway, I have a lot to do. I will hopefully post again soon!

Jewelry

I have been working on tons of jewelry lately! Today I worked for several hours and made 6 pairs of earrings and 4 and 1/2 neckalaces :). The 5th is almost done. I hope I will be able to really get my business going. I really enjoy making jewelry. A lot of times (like today) once I start I can't stop! It is so fun to design different patterns and teach myself how to make them! I will try to post pictures of some of the ones I have been working on if my computer will let me. It's having a little bit of a rough time right now.

I posted...

just a few honeymoon pictures for now. I had good intentions to post sooner but when we finally got internet it was disconnecting all the time and I did not have a card reader or cord for my camera. So now the internet is fixed, hopefully, and we bought a card reader so I hope to be posting more often!
Goodnight!
Claire :)

Honeymoon Pictures!
