September Update

Well, it's my (Shalen) last week at my job. I have been working at High Point in Dallas for almost 3 years! It has been a blessing but I am ready for something new, also! So, next week I will start substitute teaching in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch School District and will be anticipating what the future might bring! I am so fortunate that we are in a place that allows me to slow down a bit and be more available to Kyle and allows me to get more involved with Young Life.
On another note...we have decided to put the house hunt on hold until the spring/summer. After having contracts on a few different houses that fell through for one reason or another (as many of you know!) we felt that maybe God is telling us "not yet". We have signed a 7 month lease on a 2 bedroom apartment in Carrollton. Stop by and see us when you are in the neighborhood!
We've had a lot going on in the past couple of weeks with Young Life. Last Monday night was the first Club of the year. It was a great success! There were about 60 kids and all of the leaders did an amazing job! Carrollton Young Life is greatly blessed by an incredible group of committed leaders! This past Saturday night we had a night out to Babe's in Carrollton for some fried chicken with the committee and leaders. There were 25+ of us!
We will post some pics of the past few weeks soon!

Ok now, let me explain! My mom got us "pedicures" and I didn't want to be a party pooper.
Actually, without sounding like a girl, it was fun to hang out and do something a bit different. Even though men walking by were laughing at me. Today's lesson: Don't take yourself too seriously!

Shalen and I in Parkville! Cute little town!

We had a great time, eating in a hometown restaraunt and walking around the tiny, old and small town of Parkville. It has a lot of little shops and art galleries that were fun to peek in and check out!

Sunday in Parkville, Missouri
