An Update
Sorry it's been so long... not a whole lot to write about.
My friend Modesty is pregnant. She's due in the end of November; so another friend (Lindsey) and I have been working on planning her baby shower. It's the first weekend in October.
We are redecorating the teen room at church. They voted and such and a movie theme was decided on. We're getting a projector and a big screen. Someone is building a small stage for us. We are splatter painting two of the walls and putting chalkboard paint on a wall (the other will have the screen). We got new covers for the futon mattresses. We are going to get some movie props and such. Eventually we are going to get either an X-box or a Play Station and new carpet. Once we start to work on it more, I'll put up some pictures.
We have a leak in our roof. The water is running down a pipe and has made the wall in the kitchen all wet. Hopefully it will be getting fixed in the next couple days.
For those of you that don't know, we are going back to Michigan October 30-November 2. Brent is preaching at Calvary (in Battle Creek) on that Sunday.
Hopefully my parents and Kara are coming out here for Thanksgiving. We will be back in Michigan again for Christmas.
I got most of my frame filled with Michigan pictures. I still need six more up and down pictures. I would like one of Brent's parents' house and the Poorman Rd sign. I'm not sure what else for the other four spots... but so far the frame looks pretty cool. :)

Texas
Currently we are sitting in the Amarillo Airport waiting for our plane. We've been here for a while and still have another hour and a half before it's time (our plane got delayed). Then we get to sit in Dallas airport for another chunk of time.
We've have a nice long weekend.
Thursday night we got into Amarillo and stayed with the Crawfords (Nathan's aunt/uncle). Friday morning we hung out with Donna (Nathan's mom) and her sister (whose house we were staying at) and her nephew. It was fun. We ate at a place called Sharky's. It was pretty good. :) Friday afternoon we drove over to the tiny town of Shamrock (population less than 2000). We helped decorate the U-Drop Inn for the reception. You know the movie Cars... the place where they painted the cars in the movie was designed after the U-Drop in. It was pretty cool. Then there was the rehearsal. Allie and I went to explore while Erin and Nathan practiced getting married. The town had about five hardware stores, five hotels, a bunch of gas stations, two dollar stores, a McD's and a Subway. We ate when they were done practicing and then explored the church. The children's area at the church was pretty cool. All of the rooms had murals all over the walls. Then we went back to the hotel and swam for a little bit. We also celebrated birthdays (Brent's, Dad's, and Dave Spear's) with swiss cake rolls... there was no where in town that sold cakes. After that Brent, Tommy, Allie, and I played Phase 10. We let Brent win because it was close to his birthday :)
Saturday we got up and around and then went to look for car decorating supplies. We found some shoe polish, ribbons, balloons, and some condoms (Dad's idea). You can see the pictures below of Nathan's truck. Then was the wedding and reception and such. It was a nice wedding. Afterwards pretty much everyone took off. Grandma and Grandpa were staying one more night, so we did go out to dinner with them and hung out for a little bit. Other than that it was a pretty uneventful night.
This morning we got up and got around. Ate breakfast, said good bye to Grandma and Grandpa, packed, and then took off for Amarillo. We wandered around WallyWorld for a little bit, had Sonic for lunch, and then headed to the airport.... which is where we are now.
