Well, I am home!! After a long, busy, fun and somewhat relaxing week, I am home! We had an incredible time as we began our adventure in New York City! What an amazing town! We were so shocked that all the horrible things and preconcieved ideas that we'd always heard about New Yorkers was thrown out the window! We really were shocked that people were nice and friendly and often so much more so than the South Floridians that we were used to. None the less, it was great. We were moved at the sight of Ground Zero as we overlooked it from our Hotel. We continued on the next day to join the thousands of others for the next week throughout Canada and New England. I can't even begin to tell all of the things we've experienced. The colorful leaves, the crisp cool air...all of it was amazing.

My trip was interrupted with some of the most shocking and devastating news I could have ever invisioned. I received an email telling me that a friend of mine in my choir, handbell group and the daughter of one of my best friends at church was arrested for trying to hire a hitman to kill her husband. She was going to pay the man $10,000 to kill him. The unbelievable part was that the Wednesday nite before my trip we were sitting at church supper as usual and she began talking too about a 'surprise trip' she was taking her husband on. I think back at it and have the strangest feeling wondering if she was planning a vacation that the surprise was to be that he never came back! How terrible to think that she has lost an amazing job at a country club, a very sweet and providing husband, two beautiful precious boys and now her freedom. As it stands now, she has no bail available and not many are able to see her. Even her mother has told her that she need not try to lie herself out, but admit it and take what is coming to her. Please pray for this family. The woman arrested is Laura Overton and her mother and step father, my dear dear friends are Becky and Scott McCrary. Thanks for your prayers.
