Good morning,

Scott is at the hangar having devotions with the guys. They do a little longer devotion on Wednesdays and also include their weekly team meetings. I went, last night, to the MMS Ladies Prayer Meeting at the hangar and it was a great time of prayer. They had asked me to give my testimony so I did. It was great to see all of the women and to see how much they love the Lord. I really enjoyed that. It also gave us a small chance to get to know each other more. I had received a phone call just prior to the meeting asking me if I would like to car pool with a couple of them, I thought that was great. I drove to Cindy's and on to Donna's. The 3 of us decided to go out for ice cream after the meeting since we all had some "free" time from home. That was also a great time of getting to know them more.

My parents were in this weekend and that was great to see them. They came to help us unpack some more but we were all just too tired and took the time to rest and show them the area. We went to Rosco Village and checked that out for the first time, very cute! It was like a miniature Greenfield Village. Lots of history! My dad loves history. Mom decided that this county loves triangles...most places have "T's" when the road comes to an end and you need to turn onto another road, not here...it comes to a "Y" and 3 of those make a triangle. Not many "T's" here...lots of "Y's". She wasn't sure she liked that part. ha ha

We see many deer while driving at night. Since we are so far out and our road seems like a one-laner, it makes it kind of scary driving in the evening. Most MMS'rs have all hit a deer at some point, pray for us on that one, I don't want to be in the "MOST" catagory. :-)

We are leaving today for Scott's eye surgery tomorrow morning. Stephanie is having her back surgery tomorrow a.m. too.

Having dial-up is very time consuming. It took me over 2 hours to download my emails the other night. I find that I am not attempting it very often as I don't have the patients yet for this. It has taken me over an hour to get this site up so I can post for you. With dial-up, you never know what speed you are going to get. There is only 3...slow, slower and not moving! Crazy!! I know...be thankful I even have it....but do I really??

Yesterday after my parents left, I was pretty sad and within 20 minutes of them leaving, there was a knock on the door...the Fed Ex guy was here with a box for Lela...I signed and opened it up to find 6 yellow long stem roses and 6 yellow lillies in a beautiful glass vase. Yellow Roses are my absolute favorite!! Someone had sent us a "MISS YOU" bouquet and had totally came at the perfect moment! THANK YOU FRIEND!!!!!!!!!! You know who you are!! :-) There was a rose for each of us. They are sitting on our kitchen table and are absolutely gorgeous!!

We miss you all and really appreciate you prayers so much. As things are getting more and more settled each day, we are looking forward to finding a "routine" to our life, starting school, work and finding a church to connect with. Last Sunday we went to a dear friends church in Akron with my parents. The pastor there is really sick and a long time friend of the family. This Sunday we hope to start visiting locally again and checking it out.

God bless you all and hope to hear from you soon.

Lela and boyz!
