Update

It has been a while since I have written, so I thought I would post a general update.

Here is what has been going on:

• Carrie and I went to West Virginia for Thanksgiving to see family. It was a great time! The highlight of the trip was getting to preach at my mom's church. It was the first time she has ever heard me preach. Here is a picture of my mom, brother and his family, and sister and her family.

• I am wrapping up my first master's class. I just finished my research project and realized that writing papers ( this one was over 20 pages) take longer when you care about the paper and subject than when you are just trying to get it done...like I did in college.


• Carrie has been selected as Teacher of the Year at her school and now is in the running to be Teacher of the Year for our district. I am sooooooo proud of her. She really deserves it!!!

• Carrie and I are wrapping up our time serving our Camden County Campus. It has been and incredible experience and we look forward to seeing what God does on this campus. We know that God also has great plans for us on our main campus in Mandarin.

OK....this is probably the best part. I got to see my nephew (Cameron) and two nieces (Ashley and Olivia) at Thanksgiving. If you have read this blog for any length of time, then you know I am Uncle Sucker and will do whatever they want or buy them what they want! Here are a few pics.

This is Ashley. We got her the Hannah Montanna DVD game. She beat me...but I did get several questions right!

This is Cameron. We got him this truck...mainly so I could play with it also!

This is Olivia. We got her a talking Dora doll that you program to say different names. Of course I programed it to say "Olivia, I like David. Do you like David?" It was great. I also was the uncle that fed her fudge and let her drink my coke. She loved me!
