Darby Schmidt

Hi!
I have been on MemVerse for only a couple months, but I thought since I am now posting some on the forums, I could share some things about me.

I am the oldest of 5 (almost 6, one on the way) all of whom are brothers, and we homeschool. I have done the Bible bee for a few years and absolutely LOVE it. I am 12 (and in case the name is confusing, I am a girl =D). Things I like to do are:

Read good books
Do art projects
Organize and reorganize things
Help my 5 year old brother with his school
Make lists and charts
Study for the national bible bee
And do memverse :D

Hi Darby! It's nice to meet ya! Welcome to memverse! I've been on been on memverse a few months longer than you have! I'm the oldest of seven!

Hi Keirstin! do you homeschool to?

Yes, by the grace of God I got 49th in Junior. I have done the Bible bee for 5 years, but this is my second year competing and my first year to qualify. Hopefully you can qualify next year! I just looked at your "introduce yourself" page and we are a lot alike! I also play piano, and I would love to be a missionary kid teacher out on the field!

Are we twins? My heart is with children and I never want my house to be empty! Wow! I have a feeling you and I are going to have a lot of awesome conversations together!

looking forward to more conversation then!

Soooooooo……. Whatcha doing? :D

Not a whole lot, I should probably get my youngest brother who is crying in his crib, but I can chat if you like.

Welcome to the forums! I am Gloria, aka the Doctor, aka Batman! :D

Hi Gloria!

Not a whole lot, I should probably get my youngest brother who is crying in his crib, but I can chat if you like.

Well don't leave him on account of me! Go get him! :D I'm here if you have time though!

Already got him. He is playing with a noise stick in my lap.

hey! btw you can read more about me at: https://www.memverse.com/forums/introduce-yourself/topics/gloria-coleman

it sounds like you live on a farm! no, we used to have fish, but my dad has a job where we move a lot. If you look at my dashboard, it says i live in Alaska but I currently live in Ohio, Alaska's just where I lived for 5 years and am from. :D

Well, i guess if you count bunnies that live in our yard and live off our garden, then yes xD

Wow! That would be hard! I live in Idaho but I've spent pretty much my whole life in Washington! Sounds like you have quit a busy life! And the doing the bible bee at the same time? Awesome!

It's not like I move ALL the time I have only lived in 6 places (the only is sarcastic) Maryland- 3 weeks; Texas- 6 years, (3 cities); Alaska- 5 years; and Ohio- we have been here a year

Wow! We moved here to Idaho for my dads business so I have a little idea of how much change that takes to go through that! But I haven't moved as much! How old are you? I am almost 15

i turned 12 in may

That's great! My sister just turned twelve last month!
Yay! Page two!

What do you like to do in your free time?

Read, play piano, and do memverse! You?
Wow, our comments are staying pretty short. Because we are so alike, we should be totally talking more! xD

I like to do pretty much what I said to start with, and I am a competitive Irish dancer, so I also practice that. Do your sibs do Bible Bee?

Irish dancer? I've always wanted to know how to dance! That kind of dance sounds fun! Ireland and Norway are where my ancestors are from!
Nope, my 2 sisters and 4 brothers do not. After watching me do the oral recitations for locals, a couple of them got excited and want to do it next year! What kind of books do ya like to read? For me historical and historical fiction! :D
I really like your profile picture!

Yah, I love the dancing, some missionaries from Ireland had a daughter who taught me some steps, and I was hooked :D
I also like to reed historical and historical fiction! Have you ever herd of Chuck Black? They are not exactly our reeding level, but his kingdom series books are really good. I also like Anne of Green Gables. This year I am going to be reeding ancient books for school.

It has been good talking with you and I would love to keep chatting, but my mom is awakening from her nap and I should probably go now. Bye!

Are those the ones about the Disney parks and how they come alive at night? I've heard of them but have never read them.
Okay, bye! It was nice meeting you and getting to know a little about you! Thanks for chatting! I really enjoyed our conversations! :D

Hi there, I'm back, briefly. No, the books are a retelling of the Bible, only knights and castles. It doesn't sound as interesting as they really are. :D

Hey girl! Welcome! I'm Sarah, keeper of the Memverse User List, and kingess. So good to meet you, dear! I hope to talk to you later. :)

Hello Darby, I am Hannah, Memverse Stable Girl. Hope you enjoy your stay here!!! ^We are all a little bit insane just so ya know. Maybe like a lot insane… :P^ What are some of your favorite books? That's great you help your 5 yr old brother out with school, I get to teach my little brother too, and I know it can be challenging, yet a lot of fun. :D

Nice to "meet" you, Darby! =) Hope you enjoy the forums :D Maybe we'll meet each other in SA…I qualified too :D

Hi Darby! Welcome to the forums! I'm Esther, and I won't be on much this next month, but figured I'd say hi anyway. :)

I love art as well! What kind of art do you enjoy doing?
Have you ever made it to Nats? I did Bible Bee enthusiastically for six years until I got too old. :P
