Beginning of September!

So it has been an eventful month! And it's not even half over! First, and most exciting for me, Mike and I went to the Robbie Seay/Alli Rogers concert at FBC The Heights! Alli Rogers is my absolute favorite singer ever (she even tops Ella Fitzgerald - which, if you know me, you know that is HUGE), so I was over the moon to get to see her in concert again. We even got to talk with her for a few minutes, where she told us she was pregnant! That was pretty cool, to find out before she announced it on the web. Here is a pic of us with her!

Here is the Robbie Seay Band...

And here is Alli playing - she was amazing! It sucked that she was only able to sing two songs, but she did beautifully!

Another thing that happened (that wasn't happy at all!) is we had to return Moose to his previous owners, the Turners. It was so very sad! I cried when they left.



The Turners drove all the way to Dallas from the Woodlands to stay with us one night and to bring Moose home with them - it was wonderful to get to hang out with them, but sad to see them leave with our kitty. He enjoyed walking all over their air mattress as they blew it up...
There they are, watching Moose play. He is such a hoot!

Before they left, Moose climbed in his temporary litter box (before we put the litter in) and got nice and cozy! Isn't he just adorable???!!! He is the sweetest thing ever!

Although it was sad to have him leave us, the Turners report he is happy in his old home again, and the other cats (they have 4 other cats!) welcomed him back, so that is good news. And our cat, Camma, is back to her old self...which means she is snobby and high-maintenance, but at least she is loving us somewhat. She crawls on me when I get in bed at night and lets me love on her, so that is sweet at least.

I have been working at the Woman to Woman Pregnancy Resource Center for my internship for three weeks now, and I absolutely LOVE it! It is such a blessing, and an amazing ministry. I couldn't be in a better place, and God is really using this time to teach me some important things, I'm not sure how to expand on them yet, but trust me - growing is part of the process of serving there!

Mike and I also have been going to the Blues Jam on Sunday nights at the Prairie House Restaurant in Cross Roads. It is a live band that lets you sign up to play blues with them, and it is a lot of fun.
This is the whole band - Mike is playing the drums in the back.


That's the most "up-close" pic I have - he looks great though! He did wonderfully too! (I am so in love with this man!) Its fun for him to have opportunities to play with a band, because at home its just CDs he has.

Lastly, please keep my family and friends in your prayers if you read this before or during Hurricane Ike - all my family are scattered in North Houston, and they are prepared to ride out the storm, so hopefully it will have lost some of its strength by the time it really hits them. They are just experiencing wind right now. Please especially pray for my grandma's house - she lives 5 minutes from the Galveston Bay (only like 3 or 4 blocks!), and her house could very well be flooded or destroyed by the storm surge/flooding/wind. Thankfully she evacuated to my mom's house, but still, please pray for her house to still be standing and not destroyed after Ike.

We love you all!
