nails and boards

Well, that's what we've been dealing with all day as we've been pulling up tiles in the back hall. Then tomorrow we'll deal with the back porch hall. Once it's all finished we'll order the tiles and have them put in. Summer work is a bit harder than I expected, actually I wasn't really trying to imagine how it would be, so anyways. :-) It's better than being all alone! We work from 8 til 5 with an hour break most days.
There are only 5 of us students doing summer work now so there's not as much activity as usual, which is fine. Actually tonight I'm home with the family as it's Sarah's 13th birthday. We had a little celebration and now we're watching an oldie called Friendly Persuasion.
Okay well that's all for now. I'll write again soon hopefully.

Bible School's done!

Well, last night we had the commencement for this year of Bible School. I can't believe that it's already over! Our only graduate of the year, Clyde gave a short speech and recieved his diploma. It was really exciting and I almost cried but held back my tears. (The girls told me that I could let my emotions show my third year. )
We had refreshments in the Main House then I packed the van and we all drove home. I still have to show my mom our yearbook and kind of give her a brief overview of it. The girls did an excellent job putting it all together. I'm kind of hoping that I don't have to do them next year as usually it's the second years that make them. I guess I'll have to wait and see.

I'm home for the weekend now but will be returning to FBI and work for 4 weeks starting on Monday. So far it looks like there will be four of us girls there for at least part of the time. We'll probably have plenty of fun together in our free time, knowing the way we are together!

Anyways it's good to be done Bible School for the summer and Lord willing I'll return in the fall.
I know this is kind of a short post but I need to take a rest. I didn't get to sleep til midnight as I was so wound up after all the excitement.
Here's a pic of all of us taken on class trip:
