Fall is upon us!

The cool mornings have been so great lately...Fall is here! This means new students and new freshmen to minister to! The past 2 weeks have been extremely busy at the Plumlee house...getting ready for 2 church fairs, planning a leadership retreat, meeting new students, planning a small group kick-off, job interview for me, Spencer preaching and getting ready for Spencer's trip overseas!

The church fairs were amazing..but very hot because of the weather! We handed out about 200 free t-shirts with our ministry logo on them...and we had a huge stack of student info cards to do follow-up! During our freshman Sunday we had about 50 new freshman!






Our leadership retreat with our student small group leaders was so great! We got away to a ranch in Weatherford to hangout and talk about the semester!


The recent small group kick-off was a time for our leaders to get to know the other guys and girls in their group! It was a time of team-building games, free food, prizes and hanging out! Again, note the fun pictures!




Today was a day that I have been in denial of for the past 2 months! Spencer and I left our house this morning at 3:30am in order for him to be on time for his international flight at 5:45am! The morning was filled with coffee and last minute packing. While I was taking him there, he gave me a journal filled with an 8 day scavenger hunt! I am only allowed to read one per day...how fun!! Isn't he great! For him, I made him 8 cards with the country's flag that he is going to with a verse and a note from me on each one! This was definitely harder than I thought...I keep telling myself he is just at the store or at work...hahaha...but I know great things are going to happen over there! But I have plenty of sweet friends that are keeping me busy! I can't wait to go in March! Here are some of the pictures from this morning!

On a personal note...I got a new job!! Its a full time position at Southwestern Seminary... only 3 minutes from home! I will be the Admin Asst. to the Reference Director! I start Monday Sept. 29th! Spencer and I have been praying for something closer to home and closer to where he is...also I will be getting a bonus that will go toward his tuition every sememster!

One last thing...my brother Steve is now engaged to a great godly girl named Julie! Date: Dec. 6, 2008!

This has been our life for the past few weeks....it should slow down soon! But we are looking forward to the holidays where we can spend time with family and relax!
