By now, if you are a college football fan of any kind I am sure you have heard the name Chase Daniel. (BTW, Jared wants to be just like him). Chase is the Quarterback for MIZZOU. He is having an outstanding year and is in the running for the Heisman. The tigers have a new marketing slogan for his promotion "The Chase for the Heisman".
The tigers are 4-0 for the season. Next up the Cornhuskers of Nebraska. GO TIGERS!

Birthdays
Happy Birthday to my nieces, Haley and Sierra, my friend, Thea, and my Aunt Joyce. They all have birthdays this week.
Family Injury Update
Dad seems to be better for the time being. He keeps having scar tissue but we are praying and hoping that this time it will be better and no more surgery.
My cousin, Chris, is now at the rehab hospital in Mt. Vernon. He is progressing every day. Today he was able to pass the swallowing test. He can now have food. He has been begging for food ever since they unsedated him and allowed him to talk. He has each of us signed up to bring him food.
Craig's parents are doing better.
I think we are getting back on the mend. It has been a long summer with accidents, surgeries, and illnesses.
We are hoping and praying for an uneventful fall-that is full of warm fall days that we can enjoy as a family.

The World as we are beginning to know it
Many of you know I work in the financial industry. As you can imagine it has been a little crazy with questions about FDIC, who is who, what does this mean for me, etc. Well that being said, I read a great article on Kiplingers.com about the big companies going down. If you look at the big picture we don't have as many banks and companies failing as we did from 87 -92 but we have a lot more openness from companies and the news media.
These big companies falling will ultimately help the financial industry get back on its feet, but it will take some time.
With all that being said, I would tell you not to worry about this, but be smart with the resources you have been entrusted.

Today is one of those days!
September 11, 2008
Today is one of those days that no matter what else you think about you remember where you were, what you were doing, and the terrible things that happened on this day in 2001. It is one of those memories for me like JFK's assanination is to my parents. I can't help but recall all of those memories. The sadness that I felt and was not directly impacted by anyones death, the eery quietness of that afternoon with no planes flying in the sky, and yet through all of this the volunteers and emergency workers that were in NY putting their lives at risk.
We are such a blessed nation. Must we not forget that. And we must remember all those who lost their lives that day to the hatred felt toward America and all of our service men and women who have lost their lives before this tragedy and since this day to keep our freedoms intact.
Thank you to all who have planned special events today to honor these fallen victims.
May we continue to praise the God that protects us through all times.

Its football season again!!!
It seems just like a few days ago that we were coming home from the Cotton Bowl in Dallas. Boy it is so much fun to remember the good times. However since that we have had a lot of things I wish we would not have had to live through. Even as bad as it seems though we know that God is in control and He only gives us what we can handle. My friend Stephanie posted a blog about "This is the day the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it" Oh how true that is but oh how hard it is to live by.
Now back to the fun times. Craig and my brother enjoyed the Mizzou vs Illinois game on Sat. night. Jared and I will begin the football season this coming week with a trip to Columbia. We are expecting great things from the tigers. I hope they can live up to it. Even if not, it is a great way to spend time together as a family and enjoy the cool crisp fall weather.
You can expect pictures coming soon of our little tiger at the games.
