We went up the the Nactigals for a visit in middle July. It was a lot of fun to see them and the Scultz clan again. There was lots of fellowship and volleyball. ;)Here we are singing for the church service on Sunday.





We went on a hay ride that night. Left to right: Paula (my cousin) Tricia, Julie, me, and Sarah.


This year we had a lot of good bands come in to perform. My lovely sisters and me, waiting for a concert.


Now state fair. After showing goats for 4-H on the 25th, my brother, Jacob, called and asked who sang 'Dream Big'. I won our county amature contest singing this song, and was going to perform it again on August 27th for the state contest. Anyway, it turned out that Ryan Shupe, and the Rubberband (the song writers) were there at the fair!!! We made it to the 4 o' clock show. My dad bought a cd for me and we had them autograph it. Next thing I know, my dad's telling them how I won the talent contest singing their song and I was going to sing it again in two days. I was a little embarrassed, but in that way that only your parents can embarrass you.
Me and the band!
I ended up singing 'Dream Big' to them!! I was so flustered, but I'm glad my dad did it to me. ;) It was a once in a lifetime experience.



Here I am, at the state talent contest. There was a 1st and 2nd place award, but I didn't place. It was fun though. My Grandparents, Aunt, Cousin, Mom and Sister were all their to watch me and cheer me on. Of course, they all thought my performance was flawless, but I knew better. I was very glad to go home. I missed my family so much. One of the best things was when I got home, Jed remembered me (he sometimes forgets me when I'm gone for a long time) and walked into my arms. I love them so much!!! So, I am home and well. Yahweh bless.
