“Try to remember the kind of September
When life was slow and oh, so mellow…”
(Harvey Schmidt/Tom Jones, from The Fantasticks; 1960)
Well… this hasn’t been a slow or mellow September… but it HAS been Fantastick. ๐ The month before launch has had me busy! This is longer blog… but mostly pictures so it’s TOTALLY worth the scroll down!
Labor Day Weekend, Herald Church had an amazing weekend up in Mi Wuk Village… located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains in California! Here’s a fun video I put together from the retreat!
My benefit concert was a HUGE success!
September 12th, 2009
My amazing supporters…
sporting their blue world race tshirts! ๐
We served a Tri Tip Dinner and dessert,
and I performed a full concert and talked about the World Race!

This was Cali VIP style…. red carpet entrance and everything! ๐
A GREAT BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED, SERVED, COOKED, and HELPED IN ANY WAY!!!
I had fun decorating my display table and gear for everyone to see!
Sunday the 13th I got to spend some time with my Mom’s side of the family!
Auntie Chris, Mom, Grandma Patty, Auntie Kathy, and Me!
Sept 14th-18th I went on a little trip with my Dad and Aunt Peggy to visit my Nana in Oregon! I got to visit
Andy and his girlfriend Chandy while I was there, too!!! We tried to meet up at a Hot Springs, but….
So…we found Clearwater falls to hang out at, instead!
Me, Chandy, and Andy!
Dad and I thought it was SO gorgeous, we took Nana and Aunt Peggy to it for a Picnic Lunch the next day!
and…I STILL like playing dress up at Nanas.
Aunt Peggy, Dad, and I on the Rogue River!
We closed out the roadtip going down the coastline to come home so we could visit my cousin Kelly in Eureka!
Sunday the 20th I got to share about the World Race at my church, and Sunday October 4th at 9:30am I’m sharing at my Uncle Dan and Aunt Marilyn’s Church; Prescott EFC!
It’s been a wonderful time to enjoy family and friends this month before launch! I’m blessed beyond measure. ONE WEEK TIL TAKE OFF!!!
