Skiing
Hello! I hope everyone is having a good week! We're going to go skiing this season! Yay! We missed last year's season because we were in Florida, which was a bummer. I hope I can still ski decently. Probably. It's one of those things where once you learn it, you can pick it up again really easily. I'm so excited!

Olympics
So, usually when I hear 'Olympics', I think 'summer'. That's not true for next year! The winter Olympics are coming in Sochi, Russia! I'm excited to see the skiing, bobsledding, and whatever else is in the Winter Olympics. I'm not really a winter person, but I like watching the extreme sports. I like the Summer Olympics better (no offense). It has horseback riding, and you can't beat that!

it's down near Georgia. I needed to see where it was, and I thought you would too.

More Michael Vey, and other stuff
I read another Michael Vey book, book 2. I am in line at the library with 5 people ahead of me for the third book. I think Richard Paul Evans is writing a book 4, don't be so sure about that.
So, at my church, we are doing Operation Christmas Child, and I am heading it up. It is fun. I don't have that many boxes so far, but I have a few. I originally ordered 100 boxes that you have to fold yourself, and all of those are GONE!!! I then ordered 100 more, and not all of those are gone yet. If you don't know what OCC is, pretty much you just pack a box with school supplies, hygiene items, and other cool things, turn it in to a local church collecting them, and it gets sent out. And then, a boy/girl gets it, and then they get to do a 12-lesson workbook called 'The Greatest Journey' where they learn all about Jesus and Christianity, and then they graduate, and get a Bible in their language. Here's a link to a hilarious video featuring Si from Duck Dynasty. http://www.samaritanspurse.org/operation-christmas-child/pack-a-shoebox-with-uncle-si/
Man, that is so funny. Here's a veggie tales one with Bob and Larry.
