I got my Driver's Permit on Thursday! I am happy about that! I drove about a half mile on Thursday from the park to our house. Today, I drove in the church parking lot.
DJ absolutely loves soccer! He plays on Sting - the competitive league for his age. Soccer season has started up again. Although, does it ever really end? :) Last weekend my brother played in a four-day tournament (just one game per day, except the last day they had two for the championship) in another city. I went to three of the five games. We got second place in the tournament. He had another game today, but this time it was here in our home town.
My "sport" is music. I don't play soccer or basketball, I play music. :) So, since I need some physical activity to be involved in, I am starting Irish Dance on September 7th. I am really excited about it, and I hope it goes really well. I got my leotard, pants and ghillies (shoes) on Wednesday. I'll write more about it after I actually start.
I am still working on the Congressional Award. That takes a lot of time. I will be volunteering weekly now again on Monday nights from 6-8. I am also looking forward to helping a lady who goes to our church with a music class she will be teaching. I'm not sure what all I'll be doing, but I love music and enjoy kids, so hopefully it will be great! Irish Dancing is also going to count for the Congressional Award, and I'll also be counting piano and driving, too!
I read "Do Hard Things" by Alex and Brett Harris this summer. I thought it was a great book, and it was inspirational. I would recommend it. Right now, I am reading "Start Here", the follow-up book by Alex and Brett. Have you read either of those books? If so, what did you think of them? If you haven't read "Do Hard Things" or "Start Here", what book have you read recently and why did you like it? Or, why didn't you like it? Let me know in a comment if you want to share. Thanks!
I have had a great summer, but I am ready for fall. Isn't it good that God gives us different seasons? School starts for me on Monday. I'll be a sophomore in High School. I hope it is a wonderful year!
There is a time for everything, and a season
for every activity under heaven.

Bethany, it is great to hear your thoughts about what you have been involved in this summer and your anticipation for great things this Fall. I am excited for you to be involved in many things and for the ways you are serving the Lord.
Love, Dad
Thank you!
Love, Bethany
Wow, Bethany! I love this new format a lot! You made your page look so pretty!
I am so jealous of you! I have always wanted to take Irish Dancing! I hope you do well and tell me how wonderful it is!
Love your postings! It is fun to read your thoughts! Love you! Mom
Are you doing many easy things? What projects are hard and scarey? Yesterday we hiked high on Mt Rainier and it was tough. I am proud of Liz. Keep writing the blog. I love it.
Congrats on getting your driver's permit-- yeah!
