Root of ALL Evil :)

I was researching my assignments for apologetics when I came across this in our book, The Art of Apologetics! Sadly, all I have to say to guys... is that, yeah we are evil...sorry...get used to it... :P

GEARS 2009

Announcing for the first time... GEARS debate 2009-2010 for the NCFCA team policy resolution... Resolved: That the United States Federal Government should significantly reform its environmental policy.

My brother, Isaac Sommers, Marshall Yaklin, and Matt Hamilton put this sourcebook together over the last month of the summer. I have looked through the pre-edited version and it is filled with a lot of awesome cases and briefs with remarkable evidence. :D

It has also become the cheapest sourcebook in the league, but it still has the same amount of pages as the higher priced sourcebooks. For a lot more information on the book, click on GEARS Debate Sourcebook 2009.

Good Job Guys!!!! :D

Rehearsal Dinner - Decorations

Mom, John, Sam and I went out early to Caleb and Lauren's Wedding Rehearsal Dinner to help make the food for dinner, organize things, put up lights, decorate and other stuff.... The decorations were WAY too cute so I couldn't resist taking a million pictures of them! :D I promise I will post some pictures of the people who were there, I just thought the decorations were awesome! Great job everyone who helped make it look so pretty....

A couple girls and I had fun putting little badges that said 'Fire Chief' on the vases :)

The beautiful arrangement of flowers done by my Mother and Aunt Carole! They put them all around the stage where the wedding party sat.

.....The beginning of all the CUTE toy cars and trucks!!.........

My personal favorite!!! :D

Every table had one of these hats on them, but they weren't just decoration... We turned them over and put chips in them!! It was so much fun :)
