Life Update #234908

I'm going to try to keep my words short, and my pictures many. Hope you enjoy!

 Collingsworth Family and Legacy Five concert last Thursday night with these 2. Amazing night full of worship to our Lord!

 Legacy Five

 The Collingsworth Family(LOVE THEM)

 Steak and Shake afterwards. Hannah met us there after her musical practice.

 They spent quarters on the largest gum balls I have ever seen. Disgusting.

 Summer nights with my sisters are seriously the best. And Tessa's rocking her PJs:)

 On Wednesday night, Jaylyn and I went over to our friend Paige Ehnle's house for a delicious supper of chicken parmesan and homemade alfredo sauce with noodles. So yummy. After supper, we went and checked out Paige's sister's new house which is adorable, then came back, ate cheesecake, and went stargazing. Oh, and we went on a walk after supper to walk the dog. It was such a great night!

 And then Hannah's musical was this last Thursday night, which actually was just the dress rehearsal. Really good!

 It's ok if you laugh at her outfit, because I definitely did. It seriously is so funny!

 Went to Starbucks during intermission, barely made it back in time, but we did.

 My cup said "Ask me", what does that even mean?

 Corbin(my cousin) graduated from 8th grade this last Friday night. I got to hold Miss Josie for part of the ceremony.

 Libby(Corbin's sister)

 Corbin getting his Athlete of the Year award.

 And his diploma

 Marissa played in the band

 This is my cousin Seth's truck he has been working on for awhile now. Again, I give you permission to laugh at it, because it is funny.

 Amber, Hannah Schick, and I went camping last night at the Murphy farm(which is like 5 minutes from my house). I didn't get there until around 11:30 p.m. because of the graduation party. But don't underestimate the power we have to set up a tent at that time.

 And to start a fire and cook a delicious breakfast. We decided that food is so much better over a fire.

 The tent

 And then we borrowed 2 four wheelers from Ryan and Joy Hoerr

 And we took a beautiful ride through the trails behind the Murphy farm.

 It was gorgeous.

 Kristy and I climbed a deer stand, which I might add was a tad bit frightening.

 Fourweeler from the deer stand.

 Working hard in the garden

 This is a bit blurry, but nonetheless funny.

 Graduation

Can't believe my little sister already graduated from high school! So crazy. I'm excited to see where God leads her in the future!

 The table set up. Food was so yummy!

 Her display table.

And our family.

And that pretty much summed up my life as of recent. 

I Can Feel It In My Nose

......Spring that is. I never really had allergy problems until probably about 2 years ago. I blame the Endress genes in me for that. Even with the allergies, I wouldn't trade this weather for anything. It's absolutely gorgeous, and well my and everyone else's attitudes seem to be a little bit more positive. Today is one of the first nights when it has been nice outside when I'm actually home, so I couldn't resist going outside. And writing a blog post seemed to be a good outdoor activity, right? Not much exciting has happened here. Not that my life isn't exciting, but nothing out of the ordinary. One of the most exciting things that has happened is I bought my first smartphone. It's an iPhone 5s for those who care to know. It was on sale, so I was excited about that. And I love it. Some of the pictures I'm about to post are from my iPhone and it takes such good pictures! Anyways, I thought I would do something fun, so I'm giving you a picture tour of my room. Some people have these tours of their house but I only have my room, so why now show you the uniqueness of my room. It really is unique, because it has several different styles in one room.

 I love me milk glass bottles and the mini jars from the dollar bin at Target. One of the cutest purchases I've ever made. Now I just have to figure out how to decorate with them.

 The ever growing mug collection...

 I think I've put a picture of this up before, but I love it. It was one of my Grandpa's old adding machines.

 And this hat is awesome. I found it at the Goodfield Distribution Center when we were clothes packing. Now I just need to be invited somewhere where I can wear it:) Also, those awesome suitcases are filled with lots of decorations that I have been given, so when I have my own house, I'm pretty sure I won't even need to buy any decor.

 Not 1 but 2 picnic baskets. The white one I won in our Endress Family Grab last Christmas and the other one was my grandparents.

 The "technology corner" aka the only accessible outlet in my room.

 New iPhone.

 One of my shelves on my bed. Have I ever mentioned I love my bed?

 Devotions basket. I'm so glad Rhea got these baskets for me for Christmas.

 My favorite spot in my room by far. I just love curling up on that chair and maybe grabbing a blanket underneath and reading. It's been put to good use. Notice the left side of it. Its ripping out:(

 The magnetic board with the people who mean most to me. And the random TOMS and Apple sticker. I never know what to do when certain brands have stickers in their purchases. I feel somewhat bad throwing them out.

 The reading cupboards. Who else thinks it's about time I invest in a bookshelf. It's getting a little out of hand.

 These hangers are amazing. I got  them after my great-grandma died along with 2 afghans.

 The decorations on top of my dresser. Its kind of cluttered, but I don't know where to put anything anymore.

 And then pictures from the beautiful day on Saturday. I love that the trees are blooming.

 And the chickens are still chickens unfortunately.

 Dad's drilling beans and Grandpas plowing.

 This farm girl is cleaning out her chicken areas. Thank goodness, because they start to smell. Gag!

 It was seriously gorgeous. Just look at the sky!

 Her and Soph were climbing ALL over the farm equipment.

 "Take a picture of me pretending to drive the tractor"

 Our grass is actually green this year! Usually it's brown and dying. That may come later though.

 On Saturday night, there was a supper and singing at Adam and Brittany's so I had to take a picture with Kylie to make Sophie jealous.

 It worked, so I had to take a picture with her too....

 See if you can find 2 muchkins climbing around.

 Gas is going down! YAY!!!

 How precious is this? The girls were playing with my Dad's old farm toys that he played with when he was little.

 My spot where I began writing this blog post. It was gorgeous out tonight. Loving this weather!

What I'm reading right now. I just started it, but I love it so far. I highly recommend it! Notice the bookmark, if you can't tell it's a transaction receipt:)

Hope you all are getting outside and enjoying this lovely Spring weather. Thursday Holly Funk is cleaning my teeth. Yay for friends who are (almost) dental hygienists! And today I bought my tickets for The Collingsworth Family concert next Thursday. I'm so excited! I love them. And if you don't know who they are, there is a video below.
