Update on Elder Fowlks

Daniel and Elder Edemenang His shirt he bought at Wal-Mart

He was transferred on Oct. 1 to Commerce GA which is only 30 miles from Winder where he served in his seconcd area. He was made District Leader and his new Comp. is the one he had in the MTC Elder Edemenang, he is doing great, feels a little overwhelmed with the new calling as DL but I know he will do a great job. Oct 30 he will have 6 months yes I said SIX MONTHS left. I really can't believe how fast the time has past. I am just hoping that these last six months don't take as long as the whole mission, I have heard that from other MOMS.

Pres. Uchtdorf

Today I got up as usual and went to an early morning meeting and then stayed to set up the Relief Society room. I was in the foyer talking to one of the Sisters and Sharise comes out and says she is going to call Craig. I thought it was a little odd but continued to talk. I went in just minutes before Sacrament started. Walked up to tell the Bishop something, then went to sit down and Sharise said that Craig was coming to see Pres. Uchtdorf. I said what? Looked up front, I was so oblivious to my surroundings that when I was talking to the Bishop I didn't even notice Pres. Uchtdorf sitting one seat away from the Bishop. We had a great Sacrament meeting and he took a few minutes at the end and talked to the youth and bore his testimony. So I had every opportunity to shake his hand when I was up front but no I was in my own little world so I had to wait and I just about didn't get a chance to shake his hand. I followed behind him hoping he would turn around but his is quite a tall man and I guess I wasn't in his range so I had to dart through the overflow area and get out into the foyer before he did so I could shake his hand before he left. I decided right then and there I really need to pay more attention to what is going on around me.

Fun Watching Carly and Sam

I was creative and emailed all my phone pic to my email and then added them to Danette's pic so here are a few pic of the fun we have had. Sam didn't have a good night last night so we are taking it easy today, but we will be up for some more fun tomorrow so stay turned for more cute kids.

Texas

We arrived in Texas on Fri. we came to watch the kids while Danette and Chad go to San Antonio. They left this morning (MON.) So we are here with the kids and having fun!!!!!!!! We are going to go and have some fun today will post pictures when I get home I don't have my cord with me. So stay tuned for some pictures.

Post for Sharise

Sharise is having technical difficulties (because she never adds anything she has forgotten her passward) so being a dutiful mom I am posting for her. This is how she is asking Craig to Sadies. She is posting these "wanted" signs all around the school. Very clever idea since the theme of the dance is "Wanted" we will see how many other wanted posters are posted around the school with the same idea.

Everythings bigger in Texas

HURRICANE IKE
Just a little update to let everyone know that Chad and Danette and kids are fine. They had a very rough night Friday night into Saturday, lost a few branches from their trees but house and human and pets are doing fine. They have been without power since about 3:00 am Saturday morning so they are a little on the hot and sweaty side, but they have a good attitude what else can you do. They will post pictures as soon as they are up and running again with power.
We love you Chad, Danette, Carly and little Samboman.

Pine View/Deseret Hills Soccer Blanket

Project complete, this is what I have been working on for the past week. I can say it took me longer to clip the seams than it did putting it together and can I say how my hands, fingers and thumbs hurt from clipping through four layers of flees. But all worth it, I thought it would be fun to make a blanket for Sharise, so she can remember her 4 years of soccer. She has 3 years at PV and 1 year at DHHS so that is why there is a mix of panther paws and the lightning bolts representing Thunder, I know I know Thunder is a sound so I guess they figured that the lightning bolt would be the closest representation. We were not in on the picking of the Mascot I for one would have chosen something else, along with a few others. But what can I say they didn't ask me. Anyway it has been fun watching Sharise play soccer and progress in her soccer skills. GO SHARISE, we love you.
