Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Hope it's full of happiness and gratitude!

Arrethtrae

I would like to share some good books with you.

The Kingdom Series by Chuck Black
This is a series that is set in a fictional kingdom of Arrethtrae. It is a very creative allegory of the Bible in a medieval/castles setting. It's quite easy to tell the connecting. There is the King. He loves his children and helps them. He has a son(the Prince) who comes to redeem his people so that they may live with him again. The 1st 2 books cover the old Testament. The Last 4 cover the New Testament and then up till the 2nd Coming of Christ. These books are wonderful. They really illustrate God's plan for us and that God does love us. These books are also very fun to read. They suck you in so you can not put them down. I highly recommend the Kingdom series. I don't believe they can be found at the Library. You should just right off buy them. They are great books to own.
1)Kingdom's Dawn
2)Kingdom's Hope
3)Kingdom's Edge
4)Kingdom's Call
5)Kingdom's Quest
6)Kingdom's Reign

The Knights of Arrethtrae
This is the sequel series. They are about individual knights (one is female :)) and they're mission in promoting the plan and knowledge of the Prince. I am reading the last one right know. This series is just as good as the first. It covers the time before the 2nd coming and how the knights are trying to spread the word, etc... I really think all youth would love them. they defiantly pull you in. I Highly recommend them. They would make great family time books. My mom has read them as well and really enjoys them.
1)Sir Kendrick and the Castle of Bel Lione
2)Sir Bentley and Holbrook Court
3)Sir Dalton and the Shadow Heart (cliff hanger ending to 4th )
4)Lady Carliss and the Waters of Moorue
5)Sir Quinlan and the Sword of Valor
6)Sir Rowan and the Camerian Conquest

Stake Conference

Today was my Stake Conference for my ward. It was really nice. I was privileged to be in the Combined Stake Choir. It was fun to do it with my friend Emily. Stake Conference was really special this year because we had Elder Anderson of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, and his wife, visiting from Utah. They both gave really great talks. Afterwards, I got to shake his hand. It was a really neat opportunity to be in the presence of an Apostle.

The Weirdest Halloween Costume of 2010

So around here, some of the middle schools close to my house let the students wear costumes to school on Friday. On the way home from Co-op we were waiting at the stop light and I saw some guy in a costume.

What? Okay fine I'll tell you. So this was a middle schooler! The guy was dressed as a teletubby!

Do you know what a teletubby is? It's a kid TV show. I watched it when I was younger. Way younger. See HERE for more info. Oh and they don't even talk. Now I think it's weird, but back then I think I loved it.

Before You Meet Prince Charming

Before You Meet Prince Charming: A Guide to Radiant PurityBefore You Meet Prince Charming: A Guide to Radiant Purity by Sarah Mally

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


This was a wonderful book! Sarah Mally, is trying to address how instead of getting yourself immersed in boys and dreaming about your own "happily ever after" romance, you could be using your time as the Lord would want you to. It talks about how you should wait upon the Lord and he will bring your and your Prince Charming together when HE is ready. Not You. It is full of amazing suggestions, ideas, and scriptures, and lots more! to help illustrate her point, she has a princess theme going and at the beginning of each chapter you read part of a princess story. Altogether this is an amazing book for all Teenage girls 12 and up. I Loved this book.

Train Tracks : Coming December 2010

Yep Train Tracks. Unless you have had braces you won't understand. Oops I slipped! Yeah I'm getting braces. To tell the truth I have mixed feelings. I'm glad that I will get them over with, and not exactly jumping about the fact that I will have metal in my mouth for the next 1-2 years. So yeah. Braces. I got my x-rays today. I guess it's good that I'm getting braces now. So Yep. Braces.
