A Few Recent Pics





At Least I know I have one follower...Thanks Megan!

Well here is another update for I guess the one person who is following along!?!? The family has in Pennsylvania again for the past week and will be there for the rest of this week as well. They had a family reunion on Angie's Dad's side of the family this past Saturday and from what I heard it was a smashing success! The kids have loved being on the farm for the week. They have seen the cows, including a brand new calf, watching the green beans being harvested, picking green beans themselves and just running about in the open spaces! I wish I could have been there but I had to work. Thanks a lot Adam! They arrived in Pittsburgh today and will be there for the family reunion on Angie's Mom's side of the family this coming Sunday. I am actually going to fly up on Saturday morning and spend the weekend with them in Pittsburgh and go to the reunion. I am very excited and apparently so are the kids!
Since the family was not around this past weekend I went to visit our friends the Masters in Aiken, SC. They are the wonderful family that I stayed with during my 2 weeks of training back in April. I truly love being there because they treat me like family! I got to play golf with Chas (the son) on Saturday and it was great to just be out and having fun on the course with him. He really is a neat kid! I also had fun with the rest of the family just hanging out, going to church, doing puzzles and just being together. I must say it was a very relaxing and wonderful weekend for me and I cannot thank Ruby and Chandler enough for opening their home to me and treating me like one of the family.
Oh, work is going well and we are staying pretty busy. We continue to have about a showing a week so hopefully God is about to bring the right people! Thanks for continuing to pray for me and my family as we live this adventure called, "life".

I'm Back Baby!

Well I don't know that anyone even noticed how long it had been since I blog or if anyone even reads this thing. However, I do know that it has been way too long since my last entry and this one could be really long if I went over everything that has happened so I will try to give a brief synopsis. First of all I am enjoying the new facility that I am working at in Palmetto, GA which is mostly due to the people that I get to work with. I have been put in charge of training all new hires as well as keeping current teammates up on their training as well. I still enjoy teaching so I am excited about getting to do that some at work in the near future. I continue to commute home on the weekends to at least see Angie and the kids for a few days. That continues to be really hard on us all and we continue to pray that someone will buy our house in Charlotte so that we can all reunite and see each other on a daily basis! We really appreciate all your prayers and ask that you would continue to lift us up during this crazy time in our lives. I have been fortunate enough to get to part of both of the family beach weeks this year which was really fun and some much needed time with the kids and Angie but it really does make me long to live at the beach year round! There is something about the smell of that air that truly relaxes me. Maybe some day I will get to see if it would have that affect all year! Kylie turned 5 in July which is really crazy because it means that not only is she 5 but that Elijah will be 2 in a little over a month and Rodgers will turn 7 in November. Time truly flies and I can't believe how old all of my babies are getting. Man does it remind me that I need to be better at soaking up every little thing with all 3 as much as I can! Angie and the kids are off to PA for a few weeks for family reunions on both sides and Angie's family so I will not see them for a couple weeks. Luckily, I get to fly up to Pittsburgh for the 2nd reunion and spend the weekend with them. Other than that everything is quiet with us not that any of that sounds very quiet to me as I type it but we are thankful for God's provision and protection for our family!
