KENNY PASSED ALL 4 OF HIS ORDINATION EXAMS!!! We are soo excited and can't wait to move one step further in his journey to become a minister! Thanks for all of the prayers and good thoughts while he was studying, taking the tests, and waiting for the results! I am so proud of him!

Texas, Oh Texas

How we love being in the great state of Texas! We have been here since Friday and have eaten at 2 of our favorite places...Sonic and Chicken Express. We have seen both families and introduced Brayden to my extended family and many friends. Here are LOTS of pictures! Towards the end they are a little out of order (you can tell because of what Brayden in wearing).

After church today, we took some pictures in my parent's backyard. My sweet brother took them and I thought the turned out pretty cute!

I guess the pictures show all the fun we are having! We will be at my parent's house until Tuesday afternoon and then we will go to Kenny's parents. Tomorrow Kenny should be getting the results from the big exams he took in August. One of his friends is going to pick up his results and give us a call. We hope it is a call with REALLY good news. I'll update again tomorrow.
