You're Invited!

Centennial Play

On the twenty third of August at 6:30 p.m, at the Roxy Ann Grange in Medford, there is going to be a stage production on the War for Independence, put on by your local homeschool students. This play is focused on the time that America became a free nation and is written by a home schooled senior, Kaila Anderson.

The story is about a young man and woman, who live in Virginia in the year of 1776. It is the story of a nation, that is struggling to regain her freedom that she once had, and of the people who believe in their country and are willing to make sacrifices for her freedom. It is about families who face hardships together, and who rely on the strength of God. Come see a story of love, loss, joy, hardships and eventually victory!

All this is to take place on the twenty third of August, at the Roxy Ann Grange in Medford (1850 Spring St. Medford OR). The evening shall begin at 6:30pm, and following it shall be a dessert social. There is an admission fee of $2 per person, or $5 a family. For more information contact Kaila Anderson- (541) 665-5238.

Happy Birthday Karissa!

Happy Birthday Karissa!

Today is Karissa's 16th birthday! Wow... she is 16... so very old. :o) She has been such an amazing friend and I am so blessed to have her as a cousin. She is so kind, loving, sweet, beautiful, amazing, and wonderful!
Karissa and I have been friends since as long as I cam remember. I can still remember when we would play dolls together and call each other every week to match. Such fun times! I love you Kris-aaa.. (inside joke) and hope you have a fantastic day!

Some sort of an update :o)

Hey y'all! I just wanted to stop by and [well I guess I'm not really stopping by... more like sitting down and typing... oh whatever. ]

Anyway, I just wanted to tell you all that I haven't been posting all that much lately because I am swamped with: "Play Practice, Costume making, Props that need to be gathered, Memorizing... etc, etc, etc..." I think you all get the point:)

So, If you thought I disappeared.. sit back and relax because I'm here! But.. the question is, "Is that a good sign, or a bad sign?" Ha...

Okay, I should be going... I've got lots of stuff to do!

I hope to see you all at the performance (that is if some of you are coming, are you? Or have you even heard about it?)

K, talk [well, I guess type] to ya later... :o)

Acronym for DNA-

Here is an acronym that we (the Omnibus teens) made up in class a couple of days ago.

We are all born in sin, it's in our DNA.

D: Depraved-

N: Nature-

A: Adam-

The only way that we can be cleansed from our Depraved Nature from Adam, is by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Family Pictures

The Kruse Children
All 30 Cousins

Here are a couple of pictures that my cousin Kaila took. Our cousins "The Troy Anderson Family" came down to visit this last week and so we decided to take a family picture. Also, we snapped this picture of us Kruse Kids. Hope you like them! Tell me what you think.
