Go ahead and clear the air... We are not pregnant. Were you expecting for me to announce that? Well nope
Okay for real, we still are in K-town getting more and more settled in our little town! We have made great friends who are intentional and super embracing. Clint and I both have found older men and women to pour into and to disciple us. Very thankful! We have joined a House Church (like a Bible study), we go on double dates, we eat a lot of chicken, and do a lot of Young Life! A typical week looks like this for us:
We work 9:30-5 Monday-Friday
Monday night we have Young Life Club!
Tuesday night we date each other! (Or have committee meetings)
Wednesday night we have House Church
Thursday night we date or are intentional with friends our age or high school friends
Friday night we are either traveling or at a Parrott football game.
That is a pretty typical week, but the past couple of weeks have been a blur on the weekends!
I went to Colorado with 4 of my best friends on this planet! Kelly Odom lives in Buena Vista, CO and works at a Young Life camp their (Trail west!) Anna, Becca, Stacey, and I flew out to be with Kelly for the best fun packed days! We laughed until we cried and laughed some more. I love these girls ALOT! The 5 of us lived together through out college! We tried to hike and the snow was too deep, we went to a pumpkin patch that had 4 pumpkins, we stayed in a home that could be on MTV cribs, made up hash tags, said sayings with the same inflection as "hump day!", sang some Celine dion and Gavin degraw! it was a fun filled weekend! And it wouldn't be us with our an impromptu photo shoot....
Here is the shot from our .2 mile hike... A foot of snow in capris...
Then...We did program at Windy Gap for Raleigh Young Life!
This weekend was such a blast! We were the silly people leading skits and making 600 high school kids laugh (hopefully) we were Bill and Faye Tomlison who were duck hunters with some SWAG trying to make it platinum. We served on program alongside of Leigh Kellerman (my BFF) and Brently (my bffs bf). SO fun!
Here is Leigh and I as the jeans! Ha! RIDICULOUS!
Then....the very next weekend Clint and I turned around and went to Carolina Pont with 86 Kinston high school friends! Such a blast! The Lord is so cool! For real! Carolina point is REAL far from K-town. To break it down we were on a bus for 16 hours and at camp for a total of 36 hours... But SO fun! Here are some pics:
And in all of this craziness my Bunkle Buh has been very sick. Bunkle buh is my moms little brother who is known as Uncle Bill by some, but I had a speech impediment as a child and coined his name as "Bunkle buh." He is the sweetest man who never had his own children, but loves me and my 2 big brothers as his own. He is the uncle who taught us the Boogie Man is real, would be at our house every Christmas Morning, never missed a birthday, bought Clint and I everything remaining on our wedding registry! To say the least, I love this man more than words and brings tears to my eyes while I type. His birthday is Monday and he will be turning 55. He has been fighting an infection in his liver for almost 9 months and he has been placed in Hospice this week. We are beginning to grieve the loss of our Bunkle Buh. Clinging hard to the truth that The Lord has a beautiful plan for his children! That He is calling this loved man home.
So... That was October and beginning of November.
Very thankful for y'all!
