Everything New

So much had been going on! Last month was crazy, i still can't believe that it went by sooo fast! Before we know it there will be snow on the ground and it will be Christmas!!! I actually am looking forward to a "White Christmas".... well i guess that is if i stay in Tulsa during Christmas!! lol... who knows, still looking for a 'cheap' flight, I'm beginning to think that there are no such things anymore!

Anyways, Grandpa and Grandma Helms along with Aunt Peggy came to Oklahoma to visit Aunt Carlette! While they were here we got to see them and have dinner at Aunt Carlette and Uncle Robert's! It was a ton of fun! It was the first time i had seen their land and it is sooo beautiful, above is a picture of her feeding the cows! They are really cute... can't wait to go back!

a few weeks ago we had a ladies retreat in Bartlesville for our church. Sis. Cathy Clark from California came and did a FANTASTIC job! She had broken her foot right before she came but she was a trooper! It was well worth going and i am so glad that i went, even though i spent WAY to much money in one weekend! Can't wait til next year!!!!

For my birthday a few of us went to Oklahoma City for the day. I have been craving BJ's and i found out they had one in OKC so that's where i wanted to go for my birthday! Even though it took like 2 hours in the restaurant it was well worth it! The food was awesome, but our waiter smelled like he hadn't showered in, ohhh about 5 YEARS!!!! he stunk SO bad... after we ate we went to the mall right next to it! It was kinda ghetto but it was a lot of fun just goofing off and being stupid!

THE GALS...

so we saw these 'strollers' and couldn't pass up a photo opportunity!! they hurt really bad, and people were looking at us like we had fallen out of a tree, but it was fun!

here we are again, inside the mall right after our 'photo shoot' in New York and Co. they had an empty window so we decided to act like models.. it was fun, I think Lashel was getting a little embarrassed though!! hehe...

Here is Whit and I @ our CnC Fall Party! We had a bonfire and roasted hot dawgs over the fire! after we moved on the other side of the smoke it was painless! :) Natasha surprised me with a birthday cake since it was on the day of my birthday! We played hide-n-seek in the dark and then went in when it got cold and played pictionary! Our team won, thanks to my exquisite ability to draw!!!!! ahahahah good times!!!

I had to work on my birthday and the sweetest thing happened! My students surprised me with cake and presents and when i walked in the class they had a sign that said 'Happy Birthday, Sis. Gregg' and started singing to me! I almost started crying! needless to say we didn't get much done on Friday! We were all on a sugar high!!!

I have been super busy with work and church and outreach and choir and on and on and on... lol... its a great life though, i can't complain!!! Our College and Career group is headed for Dallas this weekend. We are going to Six Flags and to church at Bro. Steve Pixlers on Sunday morning and then shopping at the mall and a big outlet mall on the way home!!! I am really excited, its going to be a blast!!! I will definitely post some pictures from the trip when i get home!!! Here are a few pics from the past couple weeks...

My lil Man and Me @ Los Cabos for Labor Day

This is supposed to be a cool pic of downtown at night from the river, but it didn't really come out! We walked about 2 miles one night along the river with a big group of us and needless to say, i was not prepared to do that..i guess i need to keep a change of clothes and walking shoes in my car at all times!! it was so much fun though... making memories!!

Lashel and I @ The Brook, after prayer... it was so cold in there i was ready to order a blanket, but they weren't on the menu!!

Labor Day...

The 3 Amigos...Cheek, Gregg and Meyers...we Love these people...true friends are the best!!!

I GOT A JOB!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you to all who have been praying for my situation...i was asked last Tuesday night if i would be interested in teaching at our Church school.... i gladly said YES!!! I am teaching the 5th and 6th graders. They are a GREAT group of kids, i am anxious to see all that is going to happen this year!!!! I had about a 1 day notice so this last week has been crazy trying to catch up to speed. My first official day of teaching was yesterday and it went very well!!!! I will try to keep everyone updated as the school year goes along!!

We had a ministers conference at our church last week, it was awesome...lots of cleaning before to get ready and LOTS of work during..i had a blast working with all the young people... i was asked to be over the serving for the meals... it was so much fun, but i was glad that it was over! ;)

This month had flown by so fast.... I am STILL looking for a job, it is ridiculous, but i guess its just part of life..i had an interview today and it went good, but they won't have any openings for a few weeks yet.... i hate the waiting game........ i have been really busy, that is why i haven't been updating....i promise to try to keep up on this! =)
