it snowed

yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay!!!!!!!!! it was awesome!!!! daddy had to stay home from work, and aunt janet did too so she came over. then we all went out in the woods and went sledding! we have this road in our woods that at one point is pretty steep and goes over our creek. so we made a sled track there. it was sooooooo much fun! and then last night erin and her family came over and we went sledding in the dark. oh! when we were about to go back to the house, i had to go back up the hill to get a sled that had been left up there. well, my parents had been standing in front of the part of the track that went over the creek to make sure that no one fell in. so then when i was gonna ride the sled back down the hill, my parents were gonna stop guarding the creek cuz they were like 'it's only one more time, she'll be fine." but they decided to stay anyway, just in case. and guess what! i would have gone into the creek had daddy not stayed there! i was going down the hill at top speed adn i was like "YAY!!!!!!! this is the first time tonight i haven't run into a tree!" and then i was going so fast and it was dark so therefore i couldn't see, adn then next thing i know i'm getting whacked in the face with daddy and daddy's sled cuz i ran into him! i totally almost went in! that would've been bad!!!
anyway, that's what we did all day yesterday! it was awesome!!!!!!
ok, right now i'm dying to watch the whole 'lord of the rings' series again b/c i'm listening to "gollum's song". my family and i just finished watching the whole movie series a few days ago. now i've seen 'the fellowship of the ring' three times, 'the two towers' four times, and 'the return of the king' two times!!! and i'm still reading 'the return of the king' right now. well, this morning reading 'thr3e' by ted dekker. it is AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone should read that book! ok, this is my list of books by ted dekker that i want to read:

Obsessed
Blink
Saint
Skin
Black
Red
White
The Lost Books (series)
Sinner
Adam
Showdown
Blink of an Eye
Boneman's Daughters (which hasn't come out yet)

yeah, i can't wait to read all of those! but i have to finish 'return of the king' first. i mean, it's ok, but right now it's just a really boring part! and i'd rather be reading a ted dekker book! i WANT to read about frodo and sam, but right now i'm stuck with theoden and eomer and merry! oh, and of course 'dernhelm' who i'm pretty sure is actually eowyn. yeah, i figured it out b/c of the movie even though that didn't happen in the movie. like, eowyn is a girl, therefore she is not allowed to go to battle even though she really wants to. so right now merry is riding with this guy named dernhelm, even though merry isn't supposed to be going to battle. and merry asked dernhelm who he was and dernhelm is like 'you don't know?' so then in the movie merry and eowyn are riding together and she's just trying to hide her face from theoden (her uncle, the king) b/c she knows she's not supposed to be there. but anyway, i think that dernhelm is actually eowyn. so yeah.
well, i'm gonna work on my story...which reminds me that i suppose i should put another part of my other story on here! here it is:




"Is that your dragon field?" Jacob asked Erin.
Erin nodded, "Yes, and there is my dragon, Rovert. Isn’t he precious?"
Jacob laughed, "Well, ‘precious’ is not the word I would have chosen. But he is a very noble-looking beast."
As they were mounting Rovert, they saw a man running toward them.
"Stop! The king has ordered that no one be allowed to leave the castle boundaries!" the man yelled.
As soon as Jacob was seated on Rovert, they took off, leaving the man to continue yelling at them. When they flew over the area where they had left Elizabeth and Matthew, they saw a band of soldiers, but no dragon.
"Oh, I hope they got away safely!" Erin gasped.
"I’m sure they did. Nomys is a very fast dragon," said Jacob.
Eventually, Erin and Jacob reached the palace in Azmi. There they found Elizabeth and Matthew waiting for them. Erin tied Rovert to the dragon hitching post, and then ran over to them. She hugged Elizabeth and then asked what had happened to them.
Matthew answered, "We saw some Ymbraian soldiers coming in our direction, so we left. It is a good thing that we did, because even from that distance some of their arrows came quite close to hitting us! But it all worked out fine."
Elizabeth handed Jacob the Crown. "I kept It safe for you."
Jacob held it in his hands and looked at it. "I was thinking –"
"That is scary!" Matthew interrupted.
Jacob shot him a look. "I was thinking, I do not feel that it is right for one person to hold the power that wearing the Crown will bring. My father has already told me that he will never wear It, he assumes that I will wear It one day. But I do not think I will – at least not by myself."
"What do you mean, Jacob?" Elizabeth asked.
Jacob looked at the Crown again. "What if it is possible for this Crown to be remolded. We could all share Its power. That way, not just one person would have so much power."
Erin sat down on one of the steps. "Who would you share It with? And what would It be remolded into?" she asked.
"I would share it with you three, of course." Jacob answered. "And I thought we could remold it into four bracelets. Do you all agree?"
Matthew and Elizabeth nodded. Then Elizabeth said, "I think that is a brilliant idea. I agree that not just one person should hold that much power, not that I don’t think you could handle it," she smiled at him.
Then Jacob turned to Erin, "Do you agree with this, Erin?"
Erin looked up at all of them. "I don’t know. Y’all just met me today! How do you know I am trustworthy?"
Elizabeth winced, "Y’all?"
Erin laughed, "Sorry. I talk strangely when I am trying to make a tough decision."
"Anyway," said Jacob. "We can tell you are trustworthy by the way you helped us so much! Neither you nor your father would have risked letting the Crown out of the castle, so it couldn’t be part of an evil scheme. Do you two agree with me?" he asked, turning to Elizabeth and Matthew.
They both agreed.
Erin smiled, "Then I accept your offer!"
A few days later, Jacob had the Crown remolded into four bracelets. The Bracelets looked like miniatures of the Crown. Since Jacob and Elizabeth’s father was still king, they waited until he stepped down to actually wear the Bracelets. The only time they put them on before that was to stop Erin’s father from attacking Azmi. After they had succeeded in that matter, they took them off and placed them in a safe, guarded room. When they eventually became the rulers of Azmi, they were the best rulers the Azmians had ever seen, or have seen since.

The End
