CHEF conference-2011

I recently returned from a good time in St. Charles!! The 2011 CHEF conference!! www.chef-missouri.com
Well, it was almost a month ago now, but anyway.... :) I got to help Light of Faith set up for the conference, visit with new and old friends, have a photo shoot with a delightful friend, buy a new book from light of faith by Rebekah Morris, :) listen to some godly wonderful speakers, among them being Voddie Bauchum (one of my favorites) and Doug Philips (really enjoyed his history and exploration talks :)), and I also got to see some trailers/extras to some good movies... ("Pendragon" (enjoyed this one a lot :)), and "The Penny")... I have enjoyed the christian movies over the years and they seem to be getting better and better. :) So far the movies I've seen I have enjoyed the stories they tell. I also enjoy the Moore's productions!!! I believe I saw a trailer for an upcoming movie from them too!! :)
I also got to be an extra in a upcoming movie!! The "Sons of Georgia". :) It was my first time and it was fun! All I did was sit in the background of a ball scene they were doing, but it was interesting to watch and listen to the group bring the scene together! :) Though it is a "confederate" movie I was glad to be of some help, and besides I couldn't turn down an opportunity to be an extra, ha ha! :) Anyway...

  Let's see I also got to swim for several hours at the hotel pool!! LOVE swimming!! :-) And last but not least, I got to attend a Civil War Ball!!!!! :-) It was fun!! I danced almost every dance... the dance I wasn't able to dance I got pictures of instead! :-) I danced basically every dance with my little sister, so I was the gentleman most of the time. :) I had one dance that I was the lady in and I had to get used to being the girl and not the guy!! :-) It was all fun! Anywho.... here are some pictures from the conference/curriculum fair and from the Ball (the ones with me in the photo were taken by my dad) :)

Listening to some good talks







My Civil War Dress... my mother helped me finish the dress or it would not of look very good at all! :) It took about four days total to make. I sewed the dress together in two days and than my mother helped me do the lace and ribbon part...I should say I helped her because she did most of the work in that area!!! :-) I am so thankful that she did that for me! I really liked the dress after she finished it!! :) Before she got a hold of it, it was just ok, but after she was done, it was fantastic! :) The hat I put together. I got the hat part from Williamsburg, VA.! I love hats!!! :) My sister's dress was a borrowed one from great friends of ours! They are really good at sewing costumes and let her borrow that one! :-) I think she had a wonderful time!! She really liked dressing up!! :) It was fun to dress up with her and dance with her!! :-)

I loved your dress.:) It was such fun to see all the different outfits as people walked around.

I'd love to know what you think of my book once you ever get through reading it.:) It is a tad on the long side.:} Hopefully the next one won't be that long.

Thank-you! :) It was fun to see all the outfits! :) I haven't started your book yet, but I hope to really soon!! It looks so good! I'm excited about reading it!! :) I'm getting stuff ready to go down to Memphis Tenn right now. :) Corey is going to be showing my pictures and hopefully selling them for me, but I am taking a while getting them ready. :} I hope to read your book after I'm through with that though! :-) I will let you know what I think whenever I finish it!! :) A chapter a day and it'll only take me a little over a month. :-)
Thanks for your comments!! :)

Breanna,
I really enjoyed seeing your pictures from the Conference! You got some great ones. That first one is very neat! I didn't know the hotel was that interesting.
I like the ones of you and your sister- your dresses are so pretty. And the shot of your sister smiling (number 12 up from bottom)is sweet.
Thank you for sharing these pics and the ones you emailed!
