Ho Ho Ho!

Patches

Yes, we have a cat. A pleasant little female calico named Patches. The folks who lived behind us moved and left her here. Currently, she is an "outside" cat. She is going to visit the vet this week. The girls love her and are so happy they finally have a pet.

A letter from President Bush

A few weeks ago, Audrey got inspired to write a letter to President Bush. The gist of the letter was to encourage prayer to return to public school and to say that, as a student returning to US schools from overseas, she thought the US educational system was too lax; that they students weren't being challenged enough.

Well, yesterday, a big manila envelope arrived in the mail addressed to Audrey from the White House. It was a very nice letter from President Bush and a photograph of the President and First Lady.

Pretty cool, huh?

This past month, Emily was selected as her school's "student of the month" and this past week Audrey was nominated for a National Junior Leadership Conference Scholarship in Washington, DC!

I am very proud of both of my girls!

"Blast" from the past

How long has it been since you've seen a sign like the one above? I haven't seen one in a very long time. I found this one on the old Muskogee Public Library building, which now houses something else. I hope that they don't ever take the sign down. (or, if they do, they'll give it to me!)

The Continuing Saga...

Well, I got a call from Muskogee Transfer and Storage that said they had received our shipment and it is now arranged to come to our house on Tuesday. Tuesday's forcast is for clear and sunny with highs at 80. It should be a good day to get our stuff.

I'll post pictures after the big event.

Oklahoma 28 - Texas 21

How 'bout them SoONErs!



Boomer Sooner!

The Saga Continues....

I heard from the Travel and Freight Department at the Board this morning. They said our stuff is being loaded onto another truck in Houston and will be delivered to a warehouse in Muskogee, due to the fact that a Semi can't deliver our goods very well. I contacted the outfit in Muskogee, and they said that they will receive the shipment in tomorrow, but they won't be able to deliver it to us here in Wagoner until sometime next week. He'll get back to me.

This is why Oklahoma is so great!

Beat Texas!

New Church Website Address

Well, after much anticipation and (research) I have finally created a new website address for Immanuel Baptist Church! It is: immanuelsouthern.com. You can simply type that in your address bar in your browser or type in www.immanuelsouthern.com. Either one will work.

I am also beginning to add my sermons online. You can find that link on the church website.

Avoid the Rush....

hate Texas now.


At least that was bumper sticker I saw going around back when I was at OU!


This week is the Red River Rivalry. OU-UT shooting it out.


I think the picture below shows some of the reasons you are in bad company if you root for Texas.

5 Happy Words
