Rapid Lifestyle continues

Life just does not slow down.....
This weekend we had a wonderful celebration with the wedding of two of our worship team members. Emily Hatton and Jesse Hanks tied the knot on Saturday night. She was beautiful. Ron officiated and it was GREAT! These two were made for each other! Congrats you two!








So today found me busy with packing Ron for his 10 day Nepal trip! He and Pastor Jim took off and we are excited about their trip! We are praying for you both! I then headed to Nashville to visit my friend from work. Leslie had a baby about 4 weeks ago and I had not seen Baby Parker since birth. He is so cute and handsome. We chowed on some Quesidilla Explosion salad from TOGOS (inside joke--thanks for the laugh Ron!) and enjoyed cooing over this little man. His big sister Hailey is adjusting so well. I have missed being able to see my friend. We really enjoyed our time together!

So this leaves us with a very busy week. Abbey has homecoming week and well lots going on with that! Hope this finds you all doing great!

Keeping Busy



Wow! Things have been crazy around here! I have been busy, busy! We had a great trip with our ladies group a few weeks ago. We took 12 women white water rafting and had a blast. What an experience! We were all ready to go again!







once home we hit life in the fast lane with our newest additions to CLC. We have been anxiously awaiting the arrival of Miss Emery Sasse (new daughter to our youth pastor, Jon and his wife, Lisa) . Emery made her debut on Sept 23rd at 8:52 pm-on my shift at work. I was so blessed to be able to receive her out of the doctors hands and take care of her. She was 8 pounds and 21 inches and beautiful.. Mom and Emery are great! We also welcomed, on that same day, Caleb Carroll! What a cute little man he is! Congrats, Austin and Amanda! What a privledge it is to be able to care for people at such an exciting time!

Parker Daniel

I just got back from Nashville where I was visiting a very sweet little boy just born on Friday morning. Parker Daniel Maupin is the new little son to my very good friend, Leslie. He is a little golden haired sweetie. What a cutie. Mom and son are doing great and his Big Sister, Haley, is thoroughly smitten. Congratulations Leslie and Jonathan!

I am tired today. Lack of sleep. Love my job just battling the sleep can be tough. Wanted to share a sweet picture (Gosh, I need a haircut) of me and my dear friend, Tatiana (aka Shrimp). She had her birthday on Sunday and just wanted to tell her that I hope she had a great celebration! Love ya Tatiana! Hope this finds all of you doing great!

Running.....

So many of you know that I have been training for a 1/2 marathon that I will be running in October. What a test of perseverance. I completed 12 miles this a.m. and can I just say---dang that is hard! The human body is amazing with what it can do. Can you believe that you can run for 2 hours and your body cooperates. It is your will that you have to beat into submission. That is the hardest thing. This whole training for the race is teaching me a lot about myself. I CAN do just about anything I set my mind to but it requires WORK! Work is good. It feels good. The results of hard work are good. Despite what my flesh may tell me when I am working at my goal, I know that ultimately I have to be steadfast!
