October

Well a lot has been going on, but none of it too interesting to post about. Also, I have been a lazy blogger! I want to do better!
Oct.2- I had a good birthday. Jared and I went out to eat and to exchange the alarm clock. I needed one with bigger numbers on it. I'm practically blind, you know! :) I had two students get me a gift. One got me a candle that smells so good you could eat it and another one gave me a generous gift card to Ruby Tuesday. How thoughtful!

Oct. 3- We went out with the regular Friday night crowd at The Fish Market. Pam and Joseph gave me their gifts. Both gave me one of those sentimental, bring a tear to the eye, picture frames. I love them both! Pam's says "Sisters, There is a special friendship shared only between sisters." Joseph's says,"Some people come into your life and end up changing your world." What great siblings! My parents gave me some money, a sterling and gold bracelet, and a scarecrow.

Oct. 4- Jared and I got up early to travel to Brundidge. We got there in time to eat Crowe's chicken. Crowe's is only found in Brundidge and Troy and it is better than Guthrie's and Zaxby's! They have their own sauce that is also delicious! Then, the Davis's all came over, and Jared's Aunt Kay, to watch Alabama football. We basically ate all day and had great fellowship. Adie is a doll and just beautiful!

Oct. 5- Homecoming at Hamilton Crossroads Church of Christ- We had a super day! We were fed til we couldn't eat no more :) Jared's mom made her famous, delicious spaghetti. We got to see Jared's Uncle Joe, cousin Samantha and her husband Richard, and their three kids who are adorable! We also got to see other "family" too, Rena and Jace (I think he was born smiling and laughing), as well as, Brian, Jennifer, Adie, Reba, and Frank. We traveled back to Sylvan Springs for church only to find out that Josh and Katie were expecting! Yay! They are such good parents to Hannah and will definitely continue that with the new baby!

Oct. 10- We visited with the Courington crowd at the hospital. Mary was doing awesome so all were joyous and boisterous as we visited! way to go Mary, you are amazing!!!

Oct. 11- Jared said that this could be my day because Alabama had an off week. We went to the Mazer's tent sale, just cause we like looking, then on to Sam's (had to renew that membership- love the place!) Next, we went to target to get Lila a birthday gift and some type of furniture to hold dvds. We found both and headed over to Andy's. I had not yet seen their apartment. It is very nice! We visited with Andy for a while and then ate at The Cheesecake Factory. Honestly, the food was nothing to write home about, but the cheesecake was! That evening we came home and Jared put together the video tower/bookcase/whatever you want to call it.

Oct. 12- Lila's first birthday party! It was a nice event!


Oct. 13- We had a professional day at work, no kids, but classes for the teachers! I got another birthday gift from a student, several of those new pocket hand sanitizers from Bath and Body Works. They are so cool! I had to sit all day through a medication dispensing workshop. Boring! Like I want another thing I could be liable for??? Anyhow, now I am a Medications Assistant, for whatever that is worth!

Oct. 14- I got another birthday gift from a student, a clipboard and pen that are pink polka dotted with my initial on them. Very Cute!


Oct. 17- Jared's parents and Granny came to visit. We ate with them, as well as, the regular Friday night crowd, at Dale's. Jared's family stayed with Andy and Jenny. Jared and I both were sick and ended up coming on home. We were exhausted!

Oct. 18- We woke up early and headed to Starbucks for some fuel before going over to the church for a door knocking campaign. Jared and I were paired up with Josh, Katie, and Hannah. We worked hard and Hannah brought much entertainment. At two years old, she has knocked on doors inviting others to church, both of her years of life! Awesome! At a young age, she is learning what is important in life as well as other Biblical principles! When we were finished, we met the Sanders at Newk's for lunch. Then we went back to Andy and Jenny's to watch the Alabama play some football. My favorite part was the scrumptious brownies Jenny made! We ate supper with them all at Logan's. Jared's family stayed with us. We came home and got settled and began cooking for the fellowship meal on Sunday.

Oct. 19- We got up early to get the whole crew showered and so Jared could cook his dish. Today began our fall revival with Kerry Richardson. He did an outstanding job, all week long! It was so cute how Kerry's son, Sawyer, and Xander hit it off! It was an instant friendship! That night, we hosted the Area-Wide Youth devotional, as well as our Gospel Meeting. BUSY! We fed and hosted 178 people!

Oct. 20-22- Our very uplifting Gospel Meeting!

Oct. 24- I am posting now so I can hurry and scramble to be ready! It's time to go eat with the regular Friday night crowd!!! Have a good weekend!
