Had a fun day with my family! Enjoyed some good burgers together.

Ashley and I went to Best Buy while J and K looked at Barnes and Noble. I got a call from Best Buy that the other camera sent off to be repaired was a “junk out.” That means that they give us the money that I bought it for to buy another camera. I’d already done that two weeks ago.

The money I got back exactly replaced the new one! So basically I got a brand new, upgraded camera for the price of my warranty which is $50/year! Not bad!

Picked up K and J, went home, changed clothes, then Ash and I rode out to Roswell to beat the traffic.

We were about an hour early for the Missions Conference, so we enjoyed looking at an antique shop.

I liked this bell. TRUE!

Then on to the conference at Roswell United Methodist Church to mingle and talk about missions!




I enjoyed spending time with Pastor Mike! Great guy!

This is a pastor friend that I met from Kenya!

Came home to work on admin duties and spend time with Kathy. We enjoyed watching the first season of Downton Abbey. We’re enjoying it!

Do you think I look like Lord Cummins?

I thought this was interesting.

Ashley and I had a fun time with Mark Burchek and Tim Swanson from Briarcliff Baptist Church today!


We had a good time talking about the history of their church and the future of where the congregation is going! The delicious Ethiopian food was also great! I wondered what happened to their sink in the bathroom.

I love living in a place that has letters in Amharic on the wall. Groovy!

Ashley and I went to our office to work on getting the newsletters folded and ready to put in the mail.

I took them over to the Post Office to give Ashley quiet time to work on the new TeamWhirlwind.com site!

I took thirty minutes to wander around one of the antique stores in Chamblee—which is known for antiques and internationals! I always see weird and head scratching stuff.

Ashley didn’t even know what this was! Remember card catalogs from the library?

I went back to the office and spent time editing the text and giving suggestions on where I think it should go. At the same time, I don’t want to be TOO overbearing on what I think. I prefer to have Ashley’s input too, because she’s AWESOME, baby!

We went to the mission to help with the kids. Always fun and rewarding.

It’s Thursday so we had our Story Time. I talked about Abraham, Esau and Jacob today. I made it fun and interesting, so the kids seemed to like it.

Miles came to help today too! We always miss having him around. The girls went crazy playing with his hair.

Had a good family supper together. It’s wonderful to have the whole family there!


I thought this sticker was funny on a Smart car!
