Recent Events

Nate proposed Sunday night to Megan while vacationing in Panama City Beach. Uncle Steve was kind enough to take them out on the Gulf and they enjoyed seeing a school of dolphins! Several of Nate's friends showed up to celebrate the big event.

I drove out to Fort Worth and picked up Elizabeth and the girls and made the trek to Killeen. Several church groups have come in to get the residence cleaned up, painted and ready for occupation. Other groups have come in and are painting the house side which is so exciting. These youth groups have helped with VBS, Backyard Bible Clubs, etc on Post. Hoping that the occupation of the residence happens real soon and that the May family can finally get settled in!

I have enjoyed meeting some of the soldiers here at Fort Hood.Some are back from Iraq and Afghanistan and others will be deploying soon.

Barron stayed home to  care for garden and yard, and enjoyed a visit with his brother Jonathan who is working in the Georgia province of Russia. Hoping he will be back at Christmas with a stateside job!

Have especially enjoyed spending time with the grandkids as they have kept busy with friends or helping paint, clean, etc. Will post pictures later.
