I'm getting rid of my "myspace", because it takes up to much of "my time". Plus the trash that's on it is driving me crazy. So hopefully everyone got their message and will start reading this now. I'm mostly just going to write about what is going on in our life. Stuff like kids, church, activities, school, health. You know, just keep you people updated. So here it goes.

Today was pretty good because my van had to go to the shop. So instead of going to Wichita Falls today I was able to stay home and get a few things done around the house. We are very excited about Cambree coming soon. I'm hoping sooner than later for all of our sakes. Once she is born I'll be able to do some really important stuff that I have been needing to do, but for personal reasons (that you probably don't care about, but if you do I will tell you) I have to wait until after she is born to do. Pretty exciting stuff if you ask me.

We're looking forward to being in Colorado for Christmas this year. That doesn't happen nearly enough. But maybe more in the future. Thanksgiving comes first though. I've herd a rumor that my great uncle Gordy is going to be here sometime in the next month or so. Or maybe even for Thanksgiving. That would be awesome. One of the few good memories of being a kid was Gordy yodeling after sucking on a balloon filled with helium. And spending four days at his house in Florida when I was 11 or 12. Good stuff. Plus when he was here last year, he was one of the only people that asked if he could help me while I was working on the Turners fence. Asking someone if they need some help can go a long way sometimes. A few guys at church are planning on playing some football the night before Thanksgiving. I stole this idea from the church that I went to back in Colorado.

Kiley is doing good. She is talking a lot, she picks up everything. So be very careful what you say around her. She went for her 3 year check up last week and is 34lbs now. She's almost to big to carry around, even for me. Her mom can't really deal with that much anymore. Jana is now 37 weeks along and ready to pop any day. We've just about got everything ready to go for the new baby.

God has really been good to us. Our Church has gone through a lot in the last year. More than any one church should. It seems like we're through the worst of it. We have had more people saved in the last few months than I have ever seen before. Our youth group is doing well. We started with about 1 or 2 kids 2 years ago and are up to about 15 now. When we started we were teaching the junior high, and high school classes on most weeks. But we now have a couple that are able to teach every week and that makes it a lot easier. This is a pretty busy time of year for most of our kids with school, sports, and other stuff its tough getting everyone together at the same time. But its a lot of fun.

This is what takes up most of our time in the Monroe family (Texas edition). So this is what I'll be talking about mostly. I'm trying to make a few changes in my life, including my health, and education. So please pray for me, and hopefully I will make time for them. Till next time...
