Hello!<br><br>I have come back to Hershey, Pennsylvania to revise my role as Kathryn Dover, the mother of Sarah and wife of an absent Army husband, in the show "Home Sweet Home for Christmas" for Matt Davenport Productions and Hershey Park. <br><br>The ensemble is completely different this year, however two of the local men playing the role of Grandpa from the previous year have returned, as well as ...

... loss of life. <br><br>The park has a great visitors center, where we started the day with a 30 minute movie on the basics of the civil war and how significant the Gettysburg battle was. They then escorted us to the cyclorama......which we said "what is this all about"?? It was sooooo cool. It was a 377 foot painting that showed a 360 degree view of the battle. It was painted in 1884 ....and recently restored. The detail and ...

As I begin to pull the suitcase from the basement and organize my clothes, my thoughts turn to Central America once again. For the fourth time in just over two years, I will return to Central America with Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity and spend a week building, not only homes, but also building relationships with my colleagues.<br><br>In the fall of 2007, I was chosen to be part of the first FRAP (Financial Representative Ambassador ...

... discussion about the idea, actually. Concepts included being equally yoked (not just in marriage, but in all relationships) so as to avoid struggling and pulling in conflicting directions, the consequences of being yoked to worldly distractions, and the ease of being yoked to Christ. Some interesting things.<br><br>Anyway, also, the church was promoting a blood drive tonight. A blood donation agency would ...

This [extended] weekend, we're staying in a wonderful little motel--family owned, specializing in extended stays. So we have a little kitchenette, and a separate bedroom. How refreshing it is to say "Hey I'll be in the other room"<br><br>We're in the quaint little Pennsylvania town of Mohnton, and we're staying here just in time for the annual Pumpkin parade!<br><br>It was fun! Pictures attached!

... opened the doors and just kinda lounged. Why? I don't know. It was just nicer than being in our hotel room. We organized the van a little bit, read, talked... it was chill :)<br><br>That night, we decided to go watch a movie. So we drove to the next town over and watched The Invention of Lying. It's a very funny and clever movie, until the point when it gets downright sacreligious. I don't want to spend the time and blog space here to discuss it, but ...

... There were hundreds and HUNDREDS of stores... I had never seen anything like it.  As big as the Tanger Outlet Center in Rocky Point was, this outlet center was four times bigger.  We just drove around to the stores we wanted to go to, though, since we were pretty tired and had already spent so much money at the Tanger Outlet stores.  First we went to Cracker Barrel since we don't have any around here and it's always fun looking around the country store while ...

... to the resort. When we got back to the resort we hung out in our rooms and just relaxed since we had been up since early that morning.  However, we were on vacation and we couldn't just sit around all night so we all went out on the terrace and relaxed by the pool.  Luckily the storm that was brewing farther south never reached Lancaster.  We took some pictures and just enjoyed the atmosphere.  Then mom, Aunt Stacy and I decided to take a walk to the lobby.  Instead of ...

... pack stuff. We loaded them with 30 pounds or so, I tried them on and walked around the store, up and down stairs...Alex and Dad were ready to die because they had looked around the store three times and came to me, exasperated, saying there was nothing more to see. This is a big investment, especially for a poor college student. I needed to explore all of my options. I'm the proud owner of a pack now, and it only took a couple ...
