Polly's Choir Tour
I (Polly) just got back last weekend from a 10 day trip around the midwestern states of Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Iowa. I went with my choir on tour and had a really fun time! We had two concerts nearly every day with a day off in Springfield, Illinois where we got to go see one of President Lincoln's homes and Lincoln's Tomb. We had another day off in Chicago, Illinois where we just spent the day sight-seeing. After I got back, last Sunday, I spent the next three days sleeping to lick the head cold, chills and fevers I was having. By the time Thursday rolled around, though, I was up and smiling again! One of the songs my choir sang in every concert has a line in it that really described our tour, "no story wave can pull me under." During the days of tour, eight of our group had their money stolen, somewhere around 3/4 of us got sick, tornado warnings went off during one of our concerts, a couple of our group got lost in downtown Chicago...and yet we had an amazing time of growing closer to each other and God! No stormy wave could pull us under.
I am a daughter of a king...doesn't the thought make you smile? It does me. Because of that fact, I am usually smiling. I am a junior at Crossroads College in Rochester. I love music and nearly anything to do with music. I love my family and friends. I talk a lot. I strive to be who God wants me to be. I want to be an encourager. I'm usually joyful, but I'll let you in on a secret...I get grumpy when I'm tired. Please let me know if I do that; I would rather be smiling.
Peggy
I, Peggy, am a homeschooled senior/college sophmore. I love giraffes, toothbrushes, and studying government.I love holidays (especially 4th of July, Thanksgiving, and Christmas) and adore books.
Jimmy
I like to play sports and hunt. I just bought a 50 cal. muzzleloader. I also like to read and snowboard.
Billy
One of my favorite sports (when I say one I mean ULTIMATE FAVORITE!) is Hockey! I play guitar in our student body band. I also play saxophone ( I wish), I also own one. This winter I got a new snowboard and I've been learning how to use it on our big hill. I have lately been skateboarding... sort of, and have been doing alot on Corel Photo Paint 7, which is a REALY fun program that allows you to do Chroma key (Green Screen[making it look like your somewhere else]), make a picture black, white and color, remove red eye, tint the photo, and also just do whatever you realy want to do (that concernes pictures anyway). Ummmm... I like to read books, my favorite book is probably The Bronze Bow, and my favorite series is either Dragons in our Midst, or The Chronicles of Narnia. I enjoy to make slideshows, and also I like to make paper and make CGI movies, one of my ultimate dreams is to sometime work for Pixar (I know, I know, a bit far fetched right?). Right now I am reading White Fang, and Bucksking Run, a book by Louie Lamour. Oh and by the way, in the picture, I'm squinting 'cause the sun's shining right in my eyes, not 'cause I smile like that.
