Back from Tennessee





As I wrote before Bryan and I went to TN for Bryan to preach a youth camp. The Lord was faithful in challenging the kids and adults with the preaching of His Word. Nathanael had a great time with his Grammy, which freed me up to support Bryan without worrying about him. I believe that the Lord changed lives and is still working in lives because of this youth camp. It makes me excited to see what the Lord has in store for us and our future ministry.

Since we have been back we have spent some extra time in Conroe with Grammy (Bryan's mom), gone to PF Chang's in The Woodland's t0 hang with family, had another doctor's appt. for Caleb, and celebrated our niece's 3rd birthday. We are busy but having a good time seeing and catching up with all of our family.

Oh and did I mention that I got a new car? It is actually a little bit bigger that your average car... I got a Ford Excursion. It is gorgeous and it drives like a dream! We decided to go ahead and get one of the biggest cars on the market to accommodate all the kids, both present and future. Bryan believes that I should have a one ton diesel so that his family will be safe and can drive it forever.

Nathanael is getting really big and loves to play golf. He has little golf clubs and will go around the house or the yard hitting anything and everything in his way. He also really loves taking rides in his papaw's golf cart! He is having a blast here because he actually has a back yard to run free and play. He wants to go outside all the time!!!

We have been swimming quite a bit as well...Nathanael enjoys it and it feels really good to a pregnant woman!

We are still alive!!!

Well here we are and it is already the first of July and I haven't posted in a really long time.  My apologies to you all!  When we decided to come back to Texas we thought that we would have time to rest and relax but it has been quite the opposite.  Four days after we arrived Bryan flew back to LA to preach at the Chinese Bible Church's retreat, four days later we flew to Lubbock, TX to visit Bryan's dad and to pick up our car, then on our way home we made a pit stop to visit Bryan's grandparents in Wichita Falls.  The day we arrived to see his grandparents his Dedaddy was put into ICU.  The Lord was gracious to allow us to see him one last time before he past away about a week later.  Bryan had the privilege of preaching his funeral message and presenting the Gospel to many who have heard it all their lives and probably many who have not.  

After returning from Wichita Falls we went over to Conroe to spend some time with our dear friends, the Carlson's.  We celebrated their son's 2nd birthday and then came back home to make it time to honor my dad, Bryan, and James(my brother-in-law) on Father's day.  Three days later we left to go back out of town to my parent's lake house to relax for the weekend.  So as you can see we have gone non-stop since we have arrived.

On July 4th we are flying to Tennessee b/c Bryan is preaching at a week long youth camp with Vince Greer's church.  I am getting to go with him to be with him and support him in that!  Nathanael is getting to stay with his Grammy for the week.  I am excited to get to go with Bryan but very very sad to leave Nathanael for this long.

Our new doctor's name is Justin Gayle.  He is very personable and is always willing to spend ample time answering any questions we have.  We had our 28 week doctor's appointment last week and Caleb is growing at the average rate that he should be.  He is extremely active, moving and kicking all the time.  

It has been difficult being big pregnant and keeping up with Nathanael.  Bryan has been such a huge help with Nate... I could not do it without him.

Hopefully this helps catch you all up...I will post some new pics in the next couple of days!
