A handful of years ago, I was a leader for AWANAs for three years. It was one of the best times of my life, and before we convened to have classes, we always watch a little bit of a video. We had many videos (my grandma’s favorite was The Best Christmas Pageant Ever), but usually we watched a VeggieTales flick or two.
With only 12 days left until the wedding, we have had several showers where we were showered with many, many wonderful gifts! Now that I have finally managed to find a place for all the new kitchen gadgets and cookware in my kitchen, I’ve been looking for new recipes to try out!
This year, our contest will be held on Wednesday, June 12th at 10:00 a.m. We will have lots of fun and froggy-themed games, like the Bullfrog Long Jump, Froggy Kissing Booth, and the Tadpole Toss. Our main event will be the Frog Jumping Contest. Every participant will need to bring their own frog for this event.
This month, I had the pleasure of interviewing our page, Kayla, for the Employee of the Month Blog.

When my fiancé and I first started discussing where to go on our honeymoon this summer, I have to admit, I had very grand ideas. Finally, I had to narrow my focus and find somewhere close and not too overindulgent, since we have been putting a lot of money into our old farmhouse.
Both sets of my parents have a love/hate relationship with going to the movies. Once they’re there, it’s fine, but the mere thought of spending all of that money tends to put a foul taste in their mouths. A couple of years ago, I didn’t understand this. Going to the movies was fun and totally worth spending however much money my mom or stepmom spent, but now, it’s different. When I go with my friends to the movies, I’m still really excited, but not having parents there to blow the money for me… well, it has dulled the excitement just a bit.
Make Family Memories With the Summer Reading Program!
I am helping with the Summer Reading Program this year. As I was unpacking all of the wonderful book titles we give away as prizes, it brought back memories of the Summer Reading Program with my own children.
Get Through Awful Classes with Help from the Library!
Sometimes in one’s schooling career, they are faced with the rather unexciting (and sometimes daunting) quest to take and pass a class or two that may not be very enjoyable. For me, there are three of those particular classes: Oral Communications and two science classes. I have to take them for my general studies requirements, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to enjoy them.
