Friday, In California!!

Yippee Yeah!!! We are finally here. We got to San Diego at about 11:00am. We didn't do much but take a nap, well at least dad and mom did. Before mom and dad's nap we went to see where the Church was that Shauntee and Matthew were getting married at. Then Nate and I went swimming in the pool at the hotel.

After every one got a nap and showers we went to meet up with dads family. It was a lot of fun seeing Uncle Michael and Aunt Anita and their kids again, Shauntee, Ben, and Shara. There was a lot of other people that I had never meat before in my life. I even got to meet my Great Aunt Bernice. She is the one that was responsible for getting my dad and mom together before they were married. She told my mom that dad was a great guy and she needed to get back with him. Mom took her advice and now they are married ( Well I think you already know that because they are my parents).HA HA!! OK Abby back to the main subject.

We weren't able to do much on Friday but it was still fun meeting the family. Sorry there was no pictures taken at all. I was not feeling very well so I forgot my camera. How could I forget something like that? OK very easy, I still don't have this blogging thing ingrained in me yet. Oh well, I hope I will get better in time.

There was not much that happened but at least you know I did do something.

Proverbs 15:3 "The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good." That is a wonderful verse to live by. Remember that God knows what you HAVE DONE, what you ARE DOING, and what you're GOING TO DO.

Thursday, We leave for California!!!! Yahoo!

Sweet! The day has finely come to leave for California. I really never thought that this day would ever come.

My family was packed and ready to go really early in the morning. We didn't leave till 9:00. My family says that the reason we were late in leaving was because of me. I had to make sure that I had everything I need with me. Like my clothes, blankets, OK I confess my whole room. lol!! :-)

Between Meeker and Rifle dad let me take over with the driving. I was able to drive to grandmas house. I was a little nerve racking, she has 2 to 3 dogs that love to get under the wheels and in front of the car. :-O Scary!!!!!!! OK it was not that bad and I did not run over any dogs. We stayed at grandmas till the sun started to go done, it was about 7 0'clock. Dad had me drive from grandmas house and 100 miles into Utah. I drove for about 2 hours. I was so totally cool. I drove most of the way in the dark.

Dad woke us (Nate and I) at 4:00 in the morning to see Las Vegas. That was incredible. When dad woke us up he said that we were 17 miles ( that is how far Hayden is from Craig) away from Las Vegas and could see the lights very well. That is a huge city. Dad drove through the main part the the city. It has casino's and hotels everywhere. WOW. I got some pictures of Las Vagas but they are not very good. Sorry about that.

This is officially the biggest McDonald's I have ever seen in my life. I told mom and dad that if Craig had that big of a McDaniel's they would not now what to do with it. Lol. For those that don't now, Craig is a small town of about 10,000 people.

This is Circus Circus hotel. The hotels are a lot diff rent then normal hotels. They all, and I mean all, have casinos. If a hotel does not have a casino in it, the likely hood of it staying open very long is very very slim. Also (like Circus Circus) they have amusement parks in them for kids. Some of them also have rollercoasters coming out of the front of them. Sweet!

Another picture of Circus Circus. Its not very good.

More of Circus Circus. This is actually the hotel its self.

It is really hard to see but this picture has 2 cars and the first car is a taxi but the cool thing about this taxi is that it is a Dodge Charger. Wow that would be really pricey to ride in.

You can't see it very well but this is of a huge hotel.

This is another hotel. I had the statue of liberty in front of the hotel.

Sorry this was so long. I just remembered that this is Friday morning really early. I this huge city I did realise that at 4:00 in the morning people and cars are every where. I remembered that God said in the Bible that man loves darkness rather than light. This town deffenently proves His point to a ¨T¨

I hope you enjoy this. Have a wonderful night or morning, which ever suits you the best.

Daddy's Ordination Couscel...

Dads ordination went very well. We had it on the 11th of Oct. Dad prayed for the rapture to happen but God did not have it.

Dad and Mom gave their testimonies (sorry don't have pics).

Here Dad is getting his certificate from Mr. Ehman.

All the pastors are laying hands on Dad at the ordination. There was a lot of pastors that showed up.

Now this pic is a ton of smiles of releif. Dad and Mom both had a lot of stress throught this whole things.

Praise the Lord that it is over. It is great that the church voted him as parstor.
