New House in the country.
Rob and I have been renting our house in Ada since we moved here almost two years ago. This week, we are buying a house on 5 acres southwest of town. We are very excited and can't wait to be settled in our new home. The kids are already loving the frogs, grasshoppers, snails, etc. not to mention the deer we saw yesterday. Kyndal was very excited because "we can shoot deer right from our house." Her grandpa was proud.
Please pray for a stress-free move. I hope this is our last one for a while.
We are closing Friday and will be moving that night and Saturday. So that means I will be without a computer and be pretty busy for about a week or so. Don't fret. I will return with more pop quizzes then. See ya'.

Pop Quiz #16 Answer: Beth 3/3
I was born in Farmington, New Mexico. My favorite toy growing up was Sleepy, my little chihuahua mix puppy. I attended Kirtland Consolidated Schools and San Juan College. I participated in Choir, Band, and Student Council. I like all music except hard rock. My favorite holiday is Christmas, all the surprises and cooking and decorating and parties. I met my husband through a friend. The first time I saw hime he introduced himself, and I remembered him having red hair - NOT! I have worked in secretarial and office management, but I always wanted to be a nurse. I am most proud of my marriage and my children. They are all Christians, who are well-educated, successful citizens. I want people to remember our homelife and parenting as well as our church involvement. The reunion is important because it is a chance to renew our love and check out our wrinkles and waistlines. My favorite reunion memories include Otis trying to keep the water swept out of the big room after a huge rain - lightening and all - all the 42 games and wonderful fish fries. Can't forget Minnie's biscuits! Who am I?

Amy Update
Just talked to Beth and Amy. She is doing much better. The mucus plug is gone and they are hopeful she will get to go home tomorrow. There is still fluid on her lungs and she is still on oxygen. She is getting antibiotics for the fluid and they have turned down the oxygen. Amy says they are taking too much blood (I told her they are just like Dracula!!!!)..... I think her complaining is a good sign. Thanks for the prayers and we will keep praying that she continues to get better and gets to go home SOON...

Amy update.....
Amy is going to OKC this afternoon. She needs to be seen by a pediatric pulmonary doctor. She has a mucus plug in one lung and they will try to dissolve it or they will have to go in and suck it out. It was caused by the pneumonia. She is a very sick little girl and will be in the hospital for a while according to the doctors. Beth will be staying in with her. Christopher will be staying with their preacher. They need our prayers and well wishes.

I participate in football, baseball, and track. I enjoy country music. My favorite holiday is Easter, the breaking of spring. I met my wife through her mother and my mother.

Beth took Amy to the ER tonight. She was complaining that her chest hurt and she couldn't breathe. They found she had pneumonia in one lung and the other was trying to collapse. They are taking her from the base hospital to Comanche Memorial tonight and if they can't treat her at CM, they will take her to Children's hospital in Oklahoma City. Please pray for her and for Beth. (Christopher too).

I was born in Amarillo, Texas. I attended elementary through high school in Dumas, Texas. I graduated from West Texas A&M University with a degree in Finance. I enjoyed band and basketball in school. I like different kinds of music: classical, 50's rock and roll, 80's rock and roll, classic Disney, Gospel (acapella), and Barbershop. My favorite holiday is Thanksgiving, family and no gifts. I met my spouse in June 1998 in bible class. I am a financial business analyst, but if I could do anything else I would be a local preacher. Obtaining a full-time preaching job is my most proud accomplishment. My parents taught me to love God and His word. I want people to remember that I always put God first in everything I do and I love and care for my family the best I can. The reunion is important for family bonding. My family doesn't ever get together nor do most people I speak to. I share this experience with everyone I can, and they think (rightly so) that it is a very special thing to do. My favorite reunion memories are winning the fishing trophy the 1st time with a 6.2 pound walleye and learning to play 42 from EV, Russell, and others. Who am I?
