Hello from Kentucky ya'll!! Our October had a lot happen in it, so here's some pictures to help me tell you about it.
October 1, there were two weddings that we went to. The first was for Samuel Kinnamon and Hannah Dickerson. It was a beautiful, simple, outside wedding, and God helped it not to rain!
The guests sat on hay-bales.
Our Pastor Darrell Stetler and his wife, Regina, praying for the couple.

Getting to hold a baby - one of my favorite past-times!
The second wedding was for Chad Bladen and Audrey Stevenson (my sister-in-law's sister). Here is Elizabeth and a few friends before the wedding started.
My brother got to play prelude music with 2 others.
My sister-in-love was one of the bridesmaids, and Charissa was the flower girl.

Eating Sunday dinner on the deck.
While Tim and Brenda were here, Tim helped my dad put in a microwave over the stove.
I had fun playing with Charissa! In this picture we were playing store.
October 4th, Daddy and Mother took Tim and Brenda's family to the Cincinnati Zoo! I couldn't go, because I was getting trained at a brand-new Chick-fil-A, where I got hired to work.
I think they enjoyed their time at the zoo.

Tired but happy
That evening, Mother, Tim and Brenda's family, and Karen, met our relatives the Profitts, for a fun evening at a park.
Meanwhile, that evening, my dad and I were not very far away at the Cincinnati Reds Stadium, where the dedication dinner for Chick-fil-A Fort Wright was held.
This was our table. On the left is one of the trainers, Jeanne, who taught me a lot in the next couple weeks.
Brent Linn, on the left is the Owner/Operator of this new Chick-fil-A.

Saying goodbye before Tim and Brenda headed by home.
Since getting here, I've been trying to capture what it looks like around here as we drive. It's hard to capture how it is...
This is the road leading home...
We've seen several deer, and have to continually watch for them.
We enjoyed a pretty fall with lots of leaf colors!
God's Bible School and College choir came to our church one Sunday morning and sang.
On a walk around our neighborhood one evening.
Daddy made a work area in the garage for his tools.
October 14th was Homecoming at GBS, this year celebrating President Mike Avery, who has been president there for 21 years.
Here is a painting that was done of him.
They had quartets from the past years at GBS, sing again.
The next day there were activities and booths on one street of the campus.

A Sunday afternoon in our home with our friend Retha.
Our church had a 2-day event called Family Fest. On Saturday there was a meal, activities, and visiting...
Pony rides for the kids...
Basketball for the guys...
Guessing games...
A how-to booth for the ladies...
And a jump-house for the kids. I manned it for one of the hours while we were there.
Waiting for our yummy chili supper!

More fall colors on the way to church the next morning.
On Sunday we had the morning service at church, then a carry-in meal in the fellowship hall.
Then in the afternoon, the Loper family shared songs.

October 26, I got to go with Elizabeth and Jason to God's Bible School and College's Harvest party. It was out on a farm in the country.
Elizabeth and I enjoyed spending some of the evening with our friends Kimberly and Breanna.
Another evening that week Karen came for supper.
Along with my Uncle Ron and Aunt Becky!
Saturday, the 29th, our friends the Dickinson family came for lunch and spent the afternoon with us.
It was a joy and so much fun to play songs with Kimberly and Sarah on our violins!

The last Sunday of the month was Pastor Appreciation Sunday. We appreciate the Stetlers so much.
And the assistant pastor and his family, the Strouds!
One last fall photo to leaf with you! =)
So, that's what our October looked like, except for all the days that I worked at Chick-fil-A, and don't have pictures from my time there. I hope you all are having a blessed November!!
