Some News, Happenings and Pictures

I know - it takes me forever to update my blog now and I am very sorry about that! Maybe it will get easier now that I have Internet at the house! Then again - maybe not! With the wacky schedule around here, only time will tell!
So.....we have had company, been freezing, we have been working and freezing, Dave has been traveling and freezing, we have continued settling in and freezing! By the way, have I mentioned that we have been freezing????????
This first picture is of Ashley and her "friend" Andrew. He is a very nice guy and we really like him. He seems to fit in with this wacky family quite well and so far has managed to pass the inspection of the following: sister Carrie, sisters boyfriend Josh, sister-in-law Christa, Mom (pretty important), Dad (VERY important) and she is still holding out hope that the brother will eventually give his approval!!!

This is what my couch looked like the first time that Andrew got to meet Josh and Christa!

Then Ashley got to go to Youth Challenge for the first time and really enjoyed herself! While she was gone, the rest of us decided to go see this guy - Mark Lowry!

He was joined by Stan Whitmire who not only could play the piano very well but also was a pretty good bass singer!

Also joining Mark was Lordsong and they were really good!!

We ended up sitting three rows from the front directly in the center of the stage so we could not have asked for better seats! The concert was really good! Mark Lowry is an absolute hoot but there were also some great songs that spoke to us!
Dave has been traveling and is getting ready to leave again tomorrow. He is doing well and I am so proud of him! I miss him tons when he is gone but I am so thankful that God has given him the desires of his heart!
I am still learning my job and trying to adjust to a different work schedule. It is interesting but so far I am enjoying it!
Carrie is enjoying her job and had a great time with Josh here this past weekend. She is already counting down the days till she goes to Florida for Thanksgiving!
Ashley seems to be having the time of her life in school and out of school! She is trying to keep up with her blog so check in with her for more details on her life!!
David will return home from training tomorrow and Christa is thrilled to no end! She really enjoyed being here for the week and we loved having her here! It was so neat to see how God has been helping her in her life and listening to how God is leading and guiding them in their lives! I had some family up for lunch on Saturday so they could see Josh and Christa. It was tons of fun and I especially enjoyed getting a whole bag of clothes from my wonderful sister!!
I am exhausted and ready for bed so I am done for now! I have not done a great job with the whole picture taking thing but am going to try to work on that!
