Our Very Own Lake Fun!!

Well, we took the plunge today and purchased our own lake fun. We bought a new 2006 Sea-Doo GTI, 4 stroke!! We picked it up this afternoon and headed to the lake. We had a blast!! We are so thankful for our friend Karen who helped teach us so much. She is a pro with one of her own. So, i guess you all will know where we will be on the weekends through the summer! Come take a ride with us! It holds 3 people and we can pull others on tubes from behind. More pictures to come.

Just like Maybury

We had fun on Friday night. My friend Karen manages the Ben & Jerry's in Davidson and was having a free movie showing of "Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire" in conjunction with the downtown Main Street Book Store. So many families showed up with blankets and lawn chairs and sat outside in the parking lot and watched the movie outside. It was so much fun sitting outside under the stars, watching a movie and eating ice cream. After the movie was over everyone stepped over to the bookstore to get in line at midnight for the new book release. Davidson is such a quaint place with an awesome little downtown that still has a soda shop just like from the old days. The fountain drinks are amazing!

First Humira Treatment Shots are OVER!

Hi Everyone,
Well, we made it through Shane's first round of shots (4 of them) for his Crohns today. Shane did a great job administering them...they are no small thing to inject. Our prayer is that this will put him in remission. He was feeling not so well after he first injected but managed to rest and begin to feel some better. Please keep Shane in your prayers...his next round of shots will be in 2 weeks and he will inject 2 more. After the second treatment he will go down to one shot every two weeks.

New Sunday School Class!

Hi,
We had a great day on Sunday. It was our first day teaching our new young singles class at Main campus. We made about 10 copies of various items thinking that would be more than enough since we had no class members other than Shane and I. Well, as usual God blew us away....we had 26 singles show up in our class Sunday!! It was so amazing. Shane did such a great job teaching. The Singles Pastor, Brian Boyles, called us Sunday afternoon talking about all the positive feedback he had recieved on Shane and his teaching. We look forward to the coming Sundays and to what God has in store for us at Main campus. One funny thing, all the deacons at Main sit down front until time for the offerring..so Shane went down and sat with them. When he finished taking the offerring he came and sat next to me and asked, "did you notice anything different about me up there?" I grinned and said, "you were the only one not wearing a suit." We both agreed we were not at North campus anymore!! :) It will take some getting used to but have no doubt this is where God wants us right now. Shane will continue to dress as he always has and who knows maybe some others might join him! More to come...

Linville Caverns

We had a great day today. We journeyed about 2 hours up the road through the Smokey Mountains to Linville Caverns. The sun was shining and the mountain air was such a nice change. The caverns were amazing and suprisingly the only ones in NC. It was a cool 50 degrees inside. You will notice in one of the pictures there are mountain trout. They live inside the cavern and are trapped inside so racoons and other pests do not eat them. They eventually go blind b/c of the darkness. The staff at the caverns feed them daily. I hope you enjoy the pictures!

Lake Fun & the 4th!

We had a great time on the 4th of July. Our friend Karen Toney asked us to join her for some lake fun at Lake Norman. We went out on her jetski, went tubing, swimming and lounging in the sun. It left us wanting more...we will see if we end up with our own lake fun in the near future!

Our Family!!

Here is to our families!! We love you and miss you!

Our Cheetah! Abby!

This is our Abby cat. She is now 10 years old and was born in Texas. She is such a great kitty and still acts like she is a kitten much of the time!
