What's Up?
Seems last week, I looked up alot. After Marcus was pulled from his week of work,with pay, (the Chief Pilot wanted his trips) we headed to the coast to see the Discovery land. As we walked into the Space Center, we heard that the shuttle was 22 minuted away, flying over Montana. Thought about my kids there and wished they were just 22 minutes away. Leaving the Space Center, we passed a couple that appeared to be Quaker. What a strange contrast, seeing them in the park.
Saturday, I was looking up, to see Marcus sky dive 5 times. I'm fine with staying a spectator, although it is fascinating.
We finally got some patio furniture, and sat outside to eat breakfast and play cards. What a treat.
I enjoyed a prosperous morning, going to Garage sales. Got a great breakfast table and chairs, a car seat and riding toys for Morgandy.
Today was crazy, with the painter, carpet layers, pest control, pool cleaner & lawn care all coming and going. I got the shopping list together, & got closets put back.
Now on to the Christmas shopping, & tree decorating. We are having our 1st Thanks-mas or Christ-giving. Having all our kids together, will be a pleasure.
Hope you enjoy feast & family next week!

THE ADAM LANGFORD AWARD
God keeps the love and spirit of Adam alive, thru those he touched with his love. I have mentioned that a lady attending the funeral, returned to her 4th grade class and mentioned that she had attended the funeral of a young missionary. As the class ask where, why & how, a project soon formed and developed into the story of the Mvule tree, one of Adam's project. They dedicated this published book to Adam. (one of his goals was that he live a good enough life that others would write about him.)
God used those precious students and soon the media had interest in this story. (Get a book or a tree at www.kibogroup.org) Eventually Kathy & Terry were invited to the school and honored by the students.
They returned home and were soon ask by the O.C. Bible Department if they could honor Adam with an Adam Langford Award, presented to any O.C. alumni, staff or student who have ministered to other. But like Adam, the service needs to be "out of the box" meeting needs of others in unconventional ways.
These two honors have come full circle, as Natalie Mead, the teacher, will receive the 1st
Adam Langford Award.
The 4th graders (now 5th graders, known as the Mvule project club), continue to edit the book, to sell in Barnes & Noble and other big chain book stores. The proceeds from these books will go to the Mvule project, helping educate African Village children.
Last month, our big hearted brother, JimBob, presented Kathy & Terry with a c.d. ; a song that he wrote about Adam. We thank him for giving us this blessing and another honor for Adam.
All those that honor Adam have blessed our family in ways I can't explain.
Thank you, God for all who have been changed because they knew or have heard of your precious servant, Adam. They have been awarded by his life.

Which one?
Yesterday, we finally went to pick out some carpet. I came home with two sample boards. I picked a shade that I thought would be neutral. This morning, I decided on a different color, knowing it was best. Now, I look at the sample (20 huge :) 2 inch squares) and think another shade would do better, especially since the sun is shining on it. Man oh man, if we weren't spending so much on carpet, I would hire a decorator. Maybe, we'll just draw the name from a hat. Then I won't have to decide which one!
But wait, am I sure I want Bartlett Place (50 weight & softer) or Prominent (60 weight and should be softer). One thing I am sure of, I want it treated with polymer, they claim that even bleach will not stain because of this treatment. That's good enough to narrow down the choices, but not the style or color.

Our Moving adventure...
We were packed and ready to move on the 30th of August. Two men and a truck, did a great job, but since Marcus broke down the beds , they were not allowed to put them together. So, they still lean against the walls, except for ours. That seemed reasonable, when we realized that we needed to get the carpets clean. But, our plans have changed since our cleaning ladies used Clorox to clean the baseboards, and we now have blotches of Clorox on the carpet. Honestly, we weren't convinced that cleaning would do the job, and since our cleaning ladies don't understand English, they may have thought that we were going to get new carpet. Now, we are!
Utility problems have been non-stop. Luckily, I drove up to our rent house, about the time the guy had turned off our utilities. I was able to convince him to turn them back on, for the landlord, and because the cleaning ladies would be there to clean. But, when I returned home, our new house utilities was shut off, and the cable guy had to reschedule . We learned that we were with a St. Cloud utility company, although we had used the Internet to transfer our Orlando utilities. They resolved that problem by the afternoon.
The next day, we had no water, and made 6 phone calls to find the right department for this area.
The cable guy returned, but 2 days later, that was no longer working. Got that fixed!
Marcus has been busy with emergency room visits. As he was fixing the shower head, he got his ring finger caught, and cut deeply into his knuckle. After 5 hr. 45 min at the ER, he returned home without seeing a Dr. Skin glue has helped repair that injury.
Then, when preparing to sky dive, he was doing a barrel roll in the wind tunnel, fell and separated his shoulder. After a restless night, we headed for another ER. He is doing much better, just needs to take it easy. With TLC, it should get better. Both injuries, within 5 days, kept him from playing golf with some guys at church.
What an adventure! I'm ready for this to be done!

Two beautiful Brides!

We attended two wonderful weddings this summer.
Erin is our a perfect fit in our family and we are so proud of her
choice to marry Caleb. We hope to get to know him better as we
keep track of them and celebrate each milestone of their life together.
The Lana and Nathan story is amazing. Just last August, she pointed
the new guy out to us, in the church parking lot, and said, "That's Nathan!
He's going to be my new best friend." Their wedding was perfect,
and knowing our sweet daughter, Nathan is in for quite an
adventure, lots of laughs and so much fun. He's a perfect match for
Lana. We are thrilled for them.
If these two couples ever get a chance to be together, they can discuss
how the mothers of the grooms had matching dresses, great choice....
what it's like to get a Masters in English, and how good God has been
to them!
I am blessed to be Mom to Lana & Wanta-be-Mom to Erin.
