I'm so exited about this year....because I'm graduating from high school in 2012!!! Is that not exiting? :)

I must admit that I have not done anything to this site for a long time but I'm so exited about the plans that I have for it.

Here is the plain (I'm still working out the details but just to let you know what I'm doing with this site and so you can see all the cool things that I will be doing and working on! This website is always in Progress!)  :)

• I will continue to update my blog but more frequently.

• If you look at the top menu you will see the "button" named Photography here is where I will be posting some of my best photos that I will and have taken (as I find them).

I think I know what you are thinking "what about the horses and dogs?" I have decided to not write on horse and dog breeds because I truly think that they are very well covered by others better than I could hope to do. So instead I'm going to put my website where my heart is the First place that my heat it is in the WORD of The LORD. The Second is I'm in love with TRUE American History and with that being said I will tell you my plans!

OK now that I have saved the best for last Here are the plans for the "Button" USHistory

PS. I'm studying American History this year Starting with the Magna Carta in 1215 to Modern American History 2011 (I'm hoping to be able to do most of this by the time I graduate!) SO with that in mind I will go into further details on what to expect and look for in the coming months.....I sincerely hope you enjoy it and you learn something through it that makes you be proud to be an American!

If you go to USHistory then just let your mouse roll over it you will see a drop-dawn menu that will look something like this (As I study farther into Our History then I will be adding more "buttons"!)

Patriots Journal

The Pilgrim's

The Revolutionary War

The Civil War

• We will start with the first one 'Patriots Journal' Here is where I will be posting interesting things that I find in Our history that I have not see or been aware of before as well as Patriotic songs and I will be keeping you updated as to where I'm at in USHistory + I will tell you all the books that I'm reading. SO that if you would like to join me you can in rediscovering American Patriotism (The Definition Patriotism: a devoted love, support, and defense of one’s country; national loyalty).
  

• THE Pilgrim's: This is the one that I'm almost positive that some might get confused on DON'T WORRY I'm still slightly confused myself sometimes because the concept is not what I have heard of before until now. But it makes way MORE sense this way so I will explain (as best I know how).
  I have 2 "buttons" linked to 'The Pilgrim's' Separatists and Puritans we will start off with the ones that came over first in 1620.
  
  THE Separatists: The Separatists came to America from Holland but before they went to Holland they were English men and women who read the Bible and wanted to Worship GOD in the way they were being called on by the LORD to worship HIM, so they did as there conviction from the LORD led them to worship they had no bishop or priest or Pope they were completely 'SEPARATE' form the Church of England. During that time Queen Elizabeth and then King James I were persecuting them because the Bishops saw that having a separate Church from the Church of England would make them lose power and authority so they pushed Queen Elizabeth to persecute them they were still being persecuted when James I succeeded to the throne. So because of the persecution the Separatists decided as a congregation to move to Holland but not without encountering and winning over many delays and then being found out and by the government then told that they could not leave. But they finally made it to Holland. A few years later they felt called by GOD to move again this time they were to move to America so the ones that felt GOD's calling on there lives to go started preparing for there departure so after even more delays and problems (the Speedwell not being "sea worthy")  about 102 people loaded everything they owned onto the Mayflower and FINALLY departed for America. They landed in November of 1620.
  
  Now for the Puritans
  
  THE Puritans:The Puritans came to America strait from England. They believed that the Church of England needed to be purified of the sin and corruption that had been let into the Church without being checked. They had no desire to leave there country but soon after Queen Elizabeth died and James I was crowned the Bishops and leaders of the Church started to oppress the Puritans the even the gentleman that were wealthy. So the Puritans decided to move to America to start the Church up there the way they thought and the way the LORD was convincing them to do it. The first Puritans came over in 1628. They Founded Boston!
  
  So now that you have the Idea as to why I separated THE Separatists from THE Puritans I will tell you what you can look for when you mouse over them you will find that There is a place for The men and the women I will be writing about the people that landed on American sores and started the Greatest Country in the world!
  
  
• The Revolutionary War: Here you will find a quick biography on Famous Men and Women as well as a quick history about what was going on and why the Revolutionary war took place! I will also be give you Ideas for good movies and books that you can read and watch
• THE Civil War, THE War Between the states: Here you will find a lot of interesting facts and things that the schools and most people wont tell you or don't know them self's. I will be talking about Famous Men and Women and not so Famous Men and Women + you will learn about the battle fields and why and what started the Civil War. You will also find quick Biography on the Men and Women of the Civil War + Really good books to read and good movies to watch that will bring this time era to life.
