Happy Halloween!

Today was a busy day!  We started off the morning by heading to Starkville.  We went to a car show on campus.  We accidentally showed up over 2 hours before they were opening up to the public.  We were turned away at the entrance.  So... we drove around back and entered in through some bushes!  It was exciting.. and Chad was happy to see two Grand Nationals there.  We stopped by the

  Mccool Building on the MSU campus where all of my classes were.  I wanted to take a look and enjoy some old memories of my college days.  We also went to a Halloween/Football party that Chad's class was hosting. It was a lot of fun.  Chad and I played ping-pong... and Yes!  We are very bad at it.  We were back home by 6 so we could pass out candy to the kids.  That was our day, and it was a fun one!  These pics are of the car show, the Mccool building, and my first trick-or-treater (Kinley aka Snow White).

Today...

Chad did GREAT on his test!  He had a "sim" today, and it also went well.  Miriam and Tommy came over this afternoon.  We went out for dinner at Reuben's and then on to Lowe's.  It was a rainy day, but still filled with lots of fun and laughter.  These pics were taken right before we left to go eat.

Today was a good day...

Jennifer came to visit and to get her hair colored.  I meant to take a pic of her visit but it slipped my mind.  We went to lunch at "Little Kitchen" and then sent her home.  Chad had a class this afternoon and I met up with some friends for afternoon coffee and pumpkin spice bread.  When Chad was done with class, we went for a jog with Charlie.  I am getting much better at jogging, and very excited about it!  Chad will spend the rest of the night studying by himself, and also with our neighbor who is in his class.  He has a test tomorrow on some complicated material.  I'm going to put in some special prayer time to help him out :)  This is a picture of Chad studying.  Charlie is always an arm-length away.

Hi everyone,

To get everyone up to date...

We've been here since the first week of September.  Chad's school started on October 2nd.  He has already taken 4 written tests and he's done well on all of them.  He's got maybe 3 more weeks before he'll start flying and that's when it get's tough... even longer hours and more stress.  

We love Columbus and we have already met many great people here on base.  We finally found a church last week.  It's called Mt. Vernon.  

Today Chad and I carved pumpkins.  We were very pleased with how they turned out, here are some pictures so you can see for yourself.
