Birthdays everywhere

Here is Gavin and Daniel, Aaron's brother....Gavin just finished opening his exciting birthday present.....clothes!! Gavin hanging out in the floor, being tickled by Uncle Aaron.
This is a picture of what my family takes pride in.......how many roundbales you can stack on a trailor at one time without losing any :). My brother Michael, on the left, and my Dad on the right.
My sister Carla, her husband, Scott, and their little one, Colton.....with Aunt Sonya and Uncle Aaron. His present was a little more exciting... He got a Thomas the Train DVD. He is really into Thomas the train lately. He'll say "Tom Choo Choo", over and over and over.


Well, I just had a few pictures to share. Last Sunday was my nephew Colton's 2nd birthday and yesterday was our nephew, Gavin's 1st Birthday. Unfortunately we missed both parties, but we still got to see both of them last weekend so that was nice. Things have been going pretty well here in VA. Aaron is having a hard time getting motivated to study lately, and he has 7 exams and 1 quiz in the next 8 class days. The good news is that he has a break after that starting Oct. 6th for a week. I found out that I will probably have 5 kids (clients) in my classroom this year. Right now I have 3, but the other 2 are in the process of getting services. I am a little overwhelmed thinking about how I'm going to get everything accomplished that I need to with 5 clients. Please pray that I will depend on God, and not my own understanding and abilities. I know He's going to teach me a lot about that this year.
We found out today that our new Sunday school class will be starting next week!! We are so excited about it. We still don't have an extra trailor yet, but our pastor thinks he has arranged something for the next couple of weeks until the other building arrives. So please pray for our new class and Aaron and I as we lead it.
I guess that's about all for now. It's officially fall and almost October.....whew, I'm sure it will be Thanksgiving and Christmas before we know it :) . Have a good last week of September!

Heading Home

Just wanted to let you all know that Aaron's grandmother passed away last night. We will be traveling home for the receiving of friends and funeral this Sunday afternoon. Thanks to all of you who have been praying for our family. We praise the Lord that she had a clear testimony and was a Godly woman who is now with the Lord. Please pray for comfort and strength for Aaron's grandfather and family during this time.

September Stuff

Here's a pic of Colton when he came to visit us......he likes to play guitar, sing, and dance!! Just like his Uncle Aaron! Me and Alicia, at her home in North Carolina! We had a great weekend.This is a picture from our balcony at the beach!! It was gorgeous!! And another view of the ocean.........ahhhhhhhhh



hello everyone, sorry it's been so long. Quick update, Aaron's break was great. He was able to go and shadow some doctors back in Knoxville. My mom came and kept me company that week which was really nice. Then we went to the beach for a few days and got to hang out with my best friend, Alicia, and her husband Eric. It was a great vacation, except for the jelly fish sting!! Don't worry, I have pictures! So now, school has started back for both of us. Aaron is now in his second year, and I'm still in 3rd grade as a counselor. Last weekend we were able to go home to TN and camp with my family for a few days, which was really nice. Aaron's grandmother has been moved to a Hospice care facility, where they are trying to keep her pain to a minimum. Please pray for his family as they stay with her 24/7.
We are excited that our new "bible fellowship" aka as Sunday School class is getting ready to start soon. We are having to wait for our church to purchase another trailor to have classes in because we have no more rooms available in the church!! Kind of a good problem I guess because we are growing so quickly. We are really looking forward to see how God is going to use this new class. Also, the girls bible study I started met again last week and we had a GREAT time. It was very encouraging to be in a bible study group again.
Oh, on a side note. I am proud to announce that my brother was ordained as a deacon tonight back at my home church in Dandridge. Their church is without a pastor right now, but I know God has exciting things planned for them.
Anyway, I guess that's about all for now. Hope everyone has a good week.
