What did we do in October?

We went to a costume birthday party for two guys in our church who were turning 50. It was a fun night!

Brent was very proud of his red-neck wrestling costume!

Ashes had an Apple Dipping Party! I got the idea from my friend Sandra! It was so fun!

We had a blast! We also talked about how God wants us to be warrior princesses for Him.

I love these girls - they are so much fun!

Shannon's apple had everything on it. This is her trying to eat it! :)

For those who don't know - Ashes is a girl's Bible study we do at church.

We had Fall Bon-fire
at the Angle's house.

We went to Youth Quake.

The pictures tell it all.

Cold, wet, and crowded! Yet a bit fun! :)

October was pretty busy! (plus I left my camera at mom's or Britt's and I did not get it back till yesterday.)

Well just let me tell you that Depot Days was downright depressing. The one bright spot in the day came at 5:30 in the morning (and no, it was not the sun!), a former church member gave us enough money to finish our the cost of our homestudy. This was after he graciously helped us put up our tent in the pouring rain too! Other than that the whole day was a wash, literally. It rained all day long. We finally packed up at 2:30. We actually weren't supposed to pack up till 5 and not bring the truck in to get our stuff till 7, but seriously, some rules were meant to be broken. We desperately missed our friends in Texas that day too. So needless to say, I was very glad when it was time to go to bed at 8:45! (we got up at 4:15am!).
There a semi-funny part in that I'm pretty sure that the angels that were supposed to attract people to our tent got confused and stood by the tent in front of us, because the lady in front of us never had a dull moment, there was crowd at her tent even before 8:00 offically came! I think for about 30 minutes, during lunch, there might have been a small lull! So funny.


But this is the excitment of the week! Our friends have received their referral from Nepal! I think their baby boy will possibly be coming home with them around Christmas! You can read the excitment for yourself on her blog: www.achairtospare.blogspot.com
There is also an amazing detail that can only be worked out by the Lord in her blog. So check it out!

Our last homestudy visit is coming up in about three weeks. And then I don't know what to expect.

No Joke

I just wanted you to know that last night at 9:23, Brent and I got in the car (we were leaving the Willcutt's house) and it was 102 degrees outside!! 102, 1-0-2! and at 9:23pm! I mean what in the world is that about!! You have got to be kidding!

I think it went down to about 97 degrees by the time we got to fort worth. Yeah, I know, it was a real cold front! LOL!! HAHA!!
