317 Underground Ministry

We are so excited to announce that our new youth room is complete!! For those of you who do not know, soon after our move here we started a project to renovate the old abandoned basement of our church and make it a recreation and "hang-out" room for our youth and young adults! After many, long hard working days from Bryan and his dad...the room is finished (Well, for the most part. We are in the process of installing a wheelchair ramp for Catlynn and our 317 logo for the wall is not done yet. I will update with new pics as those projects are completed.) So here are the before and after. Keep in mind that the before pics are even after much cleaning, but before the renovation.


Before...

Drum roll please...

After...

The new room has an Air Hockey table, a Foose Ball table, three flat screen TVs with three game systems-2 Xboxes and 1 Nintendo Wii! It has a fully functional kitchen where we will serve drinks and snacks! We are so excited and blessed to have this tool to reach out to the young people in our area. Can't wait to see it full!!

Go Gators!!!!!

Update on Catlynn...

Catlynn was able to come home on Monday morning. She has been doing great ever since then. She was even at church on Wednesday! I got to go and spend some time with her yesterday. We did some Bible reading and chatting. She is an amazing young lady and I am so blessed to have her back! Thank you all for your prayers!!! God bless!

You've got mail!!!

After lunch today our mail man dropped off a package for Cheyenne. From her Papa Tom, Grandma Nancy and Uncle Matt! She was so happy to have mail...and even happier to see all of the goodies inside. She got some stickers, a frog necklace, a very sweet card and a picture of "her Matt"!

My little squeaker!!

Today's story time theme was mice. Here are a few pics that I took during craft time, while the kids made mouse ears. They were all so cute.

I have been a "blog-slacker"...

Sorry to be neglecting my blog. This baby is already throwing my schedule off! It has been a crazy couple of days, but we are getting back to normal. Bryan and I did go on our bow hunt Saturday. We saw a few deer, but I never had a shot at one. Oh well, better luck next time.

I promise to update again soon with new pics.

The Great White Huntress!!

Bryan is taking me on my first bow hunt tomorrow. I am excited and a little nervous ( what if I miss???), so we pulled out the crossbow and the target this morning to practice. After a few misses and a little tweaking on the scope I hit it dead on!!! Had to take a picture for proof! I hope I am that accurate tomorrow. Say a prayer for me---my goal is to kill one bigger than Bryan's 6 point!!
