I probably should have made these a slide show.
Actually, I think I did a few posts ago.
But whatever.
Now you get the exciting story that goes with each picture :)
The Spinster Chronicles does what it wants, baby!
I am organizing all my pictures and I realized I've taken about a billion jump shots.
It's kind of an odd hobby..making people in religious service take pictures of themselves jumping in random locations.
But it's my hobby, so deal with it :)
Here are my favorites!!
 |
| Sister Simmons! I have jump shots of her in every single one of her areas. I hope when she goes home (next week) that she marries a great (and hot, of course) guy and has a crazy happy life Susquehanna - Fall 2015 |

| Bluemel, Lythgoe,Barlow,Minert, Roesch and Torres (aka Milford and Pottstown sisters) City Trip # 5- July 2015 |

 |
| The founders of the jump shot- Jensen and Adams Both of these sisters were a few weeks from being done the mission and going home. On the way home, we talked about a lot of serious things. I honestly think Heavenly Father prompted me to take them to the city by themselves (my 2nd trip in one week) just so we could have that conversation. City Trip # 2- Summer 2014 |

 |
| Simmons, Udall, Roesch, Bischoff, and McCuen I still haven't forgiven Roesch for this- Everyone is perfectly in synch and it's the Philly skyline and she is doing her "I am being abducted by aliens pose' right in the middle! City Trip # 3- Jan 2015 Well, that wasn't excessive or anything. But I have the best memories of everything from jump shots in the city to teaching in the freezing cold with these missionaries. I don't want to forget them. Lori Ann |
