Well my friends, you are due an update. I am so amazed at how quickly life moves.
I am really starting to get a handle on my job (took me long enough). There are still some facets that I don't get but that will come with time. We have such a laid back atmosphere and a really fun environment. People in Colorado don't go to work at the crack of dawn. People probably don't go to work that early in Texas either but I guess that was my perception. Anyway, I love my job.
Ben made it here safely on September 14th then he started school at Resurrection Christian School the 16th. On the 15th he had to test for the school, they said that he had some of the highest scores they've seen. No, of course I am not bragging. This past Saturday he got to play in his first football game for the school, they won 40 - 0, it was their first win of the season. Ben is also playing on the junior varsity, they played Monday night (last night) and Ben caught a pass for a touchdown. I think they won that one too.
Ryan is still living and working in Texas. He helped our friends, Jeff & Shirley get our house ready to go on the market. It was listed yesterday. Please send up prayers for a quick sale and for Ryan, he has been sick this week.
We really miss our Texas friends and think of you often. We are always talking about you at our office. People think all Texans are crazy, we don't share that it is really probably just us. Don't forget that any of you can call us if you'd like. If you don't have our new numbers just email me.
I am just a few weeks into a new Bible study at a local church, Beth Moore's, "Beloved Disciple". It is really challenging but I love it.
We are praying for each of you. If you have specific request feel free to email me. We appreciate your prayers as well. Here are the most important ones at this time...
1)Ryan
2)Home to sell
3)Ben's trip to Belize this spring - I forgot to mention this earlier but all seniors at his school are required to go on this mission trip. He is very excited about it but we have to get started raising the money.
Love you all bunches and wish you amazing blessings,
Karen

Love hearing about the life up there! Very jealous yet very happy for you...Ben caught a TD! Excellent! Bet he was happy.
Can't wait to see you in a bit for our 'special time together'! It'll be a time for the ages!
Great to hear things are going so well. Things here are crazy with the new little one. He doesn't like to nap!! I go back to work on Monday for 2 d/wk for a month and then 4d/wk after that. Pray for that---I am very sad! Love you guys!

Karen! So good to hear you're doing well. I love your updates. I was so shocked to hear you moved! Wow, what a trip! I'm praying for you and your family (and your house). This is such a neat adventure for you. God's timing is perfect, what a testimony! Guess what...I'm pregnant! We're expecting our little girl, Victoria Anne, on December 16th! Jacob is so excited, he can't wait to have a little sister. Well, blessings to you and keep the updates coming.
Love,
Donna Humphries
