Haven and daddy!

Well, the past couple of weeks have been very busy but very fun. We just took a group to visit BJU and had a great time. It was great to be able to see some friends I hadn't seen in a long time, Kristen and Melissa, who were both in our wedding. It was also great to be able to get to know this group of teens a little better. The 15 hour ride there and back provided a good opportunity for that! Haven was a great baby on the trip and I am so thankful that God gave us safety! We also acquired a new vehicle this week, a white, Oldsmobile Silhouette van! We didn't know how we were going to be able to afford a new (used) car, but a family in the church said we could buy this van from them on a payment plan and it would only be $1700. Then, just today Steve called me and told me that someone had paid for the van in full for us! What a blessing! God is so good! Especially as our other car is on the blink. Now we are looking forward to Thanksgiving and family coming: my brother and sister-in-law, Van and Loretta, and their three boys, Ben, Nate, and Josh as well as my sister, Chrissy, and her boyfriend, Justin! So it will be a fun family time! I am looking forward to the relaxing day that Thanksgiving usually is! Hopefully cooking the meal will go off without a hitch and everything will taste good! Well, I better go! Haven needs some mommy time!
Haven and mommy!

I got to see my friend, Kristen, who I hadn't seen in quite while. This is her with Haven and I!

well, we just got back from taking a group of teens on a trip to visit Bob Jones University. This is a shot of everyone in the crowded van!
