We are really loving it here in Manhattan Kansas!  It is a really fun town and we have found a lot to do here, and Fort Riley is just beautiful.  We are so glad we got here before all the leaves fell off of the trees because it sure isn’t as pretty in the winter =)  Here are a few pictures of the beautiful fall colors…

Our girls started school right away…and they were SO excited to be riding the bus to school.

We started doing some exploring around the different towns close by.  We found this beautiful church in Topeka Kansas…maybe a future wedding location I can shoot =)

We are gearing up for TJ’s deployment that is coming up way WAY too quickly!  He will be going very very soon.  His mom and step dad came to visit us before he leaves and we had a wonderful time with them.  TJ got to show us the Hanger where he works and it was really cool!  We all loved seeing the Black Hawks so close.

We sure are going to miss him!  We know that God has a great plan for us though and that TJ is surely in His hands through it all!  If you pray, please keep our family in your prayers this next year, and all those who are serving our country!  I leave you with this sweet promise…
