JEB lost another tooth....

Well, it happened.....by accident......JEB was playing on Friday afternoon on the back porch and he pulled his bball hoop over on himself and somehow got wedged between the post and the collapsed hoop, which knocked out his loose bottom tooth and knockedquite loose one of the top two teeth, plus he got a nice gash in his lip and ended up with a nice fat lip!! It definitely must be a BOY thing!

We went to the pumpkin patch yesterday afternoon and had fun. We took John's team as a celebration of making it to the state playoffs. I thought it would be a different activity for them to do as a team. Rode the hay wagon to the patch and JEB picked out a pumpkin. The sunset was beautiful and it was a gorgeous evening to do it!! JEB gets a little crazy doing things like that because its out of his norm, but overall it was fun. I got my funnel cake and cotton candy, so I'm happy!! I don't know what it is about carnival kind of food that just makes me want to eat it all.........

This week will be hectic, but I'll let y'all know what's happening with the team and how they play.

Here I am again.....

Well, John's team has made it to sub-state on Thursday night.....and the best part is they don't have to travel to Dothan, like last year. They won both of their early matches yesterday, but lost to cross-town rival Christian school, JCA in four games. They just didn't play their "A" game when they needed to.....John was a little upset with them, but I pointed out that they finished better than they did last year (3rd place) and they get to host the game instead of traveling to Dothan. I also tried to tell him he needs to move on, get over it and concentrate on Thursday's game! If they win, they make "The Elite Eight" and move on to the first round of State Championships on Oct. 31st, which is their team goal for the year. So far, their season is 37-14.....not bad considering the last two seasons, they didn't win 14 games combined!! I'm very proud of the girls and John!!

JEB is feeling much better now that he's had a week of antibiotics in him.....not so much coughing and he's sleeping much better and staying in his bed all night!! That means good sleep for mommy and daddy!

Can you even believe that it isn't even Halloween yet and they already have out the Christmas stuff???? I haven't even THOUGHT about Christmas yet.....let alone buy candy for the trick-or-treaters!! And do you even think I have a pumpkin yet?? Or have I taken JEB to the Pumpkin Patch???? NO! And they want me to look at Christmas decorations??? They've all gone mad I'm telling you!

All else is well in our part of the world......my class is still great and I'm loving being their teacher. Makes my day go so much better!!

Remember to pray for us still as we labor for God in the world. We'll be praying for all of you!

It's finally FALL......

Hey all! I just have to say I'm soooooo glad that cooler weather has finally hit the South!! It's been so awfully hot and humid this summer and I'm so glad the weather has changed!! It was 47 degrees around this area this morning.....it was sooooooo nice!! I actually wore jeans to school today (casual day)! I love the crisp, fall mornings where you see your breath in the air as you walk to your car to go to school/work. The beautiful colors of the leaves changing! God gave us such awesome things to enjoy here on this earth, huh???

This week has actually not been too bad, but I'm sooooooo far behind in grading. I have a stack of umpteen papers to grade.......YUCK! I picked up a tutoring job after school for a half-hour every day....which translates into an extra $50 a week! Not bad, huh???

Hope all is going well for everyone. John's vball team plays in the area tournament on Monday.....hopefully they will win it! Then its on to regional play......which hopefully, they will win that too!

Talk to eveyone later,

Ok.....so I'm not really doing so well at this......

Yes, yes, yes.....I'm still here. I've been lazy about writing and I know I shouldn't because there are a few of you that add comments (Mackenzie....I love you, ya know) and Kim, who I thought had dropped off the face of the earth, but hasn't....and I should keep up.....so I'll try harder this week. I PROMISE!

All is going well here.......JEB's other tooth still hasn't fallen out yet, but is getting more and more loose. I'm still enjoying my class and enjoying school, though I'm still waiting on any news of the possibility of starting our own school.......PRAY! John's volleyball team finished out its regular season 33-13 which is AWESOME!! They hosted a tournament this last Saturday and they won it!! GO GIRLS! This is the best season that he's had in ages!! Now they will play in post-season stuff starting next Monday, 10/15. They should win, hopefully.

Church was awesome this morning.......anyone can check out the sermon's Pastor Chris preaches........www.churchofthehighlands.com I love church.......I get so blessed!

That's all for now......keep in touch.
Love to you all,
deb
