  Hey friends,

  I hope that all is well with all of you.  Things are going good here. It seems as though the month of September is flying by!  So here are a bunch of random updates in the life of the Kuhn's for ya.  Denny and I are still busy house hunting.  We did find a house last weekend in Choctaw that we really like a lot and are planning to get with the realtor soon to look into it further... so that is promising.  Last weekend my brother and his wife Sara moved to Chicago.  They have been feeling for some time now that God was calling them there, but it has just taken a while to get everything in the works.  They were very sad to leave their ministry in Ada, but they truly believe that this is what God wants them to do.  I am happy for them, but will miss having them around.  I can't remember if I ever told you that I have been directing a choirchime choir (like a bell choir,but with bar chimes) at Newcastle church.  In stead of continuing with my theory lessons with the children in childrens choir I have been teaching them how to put it into practice by playing the chimes.  We had our first performance a couple of Sundays ago. They played the ever so difficult song Kum bai yah.  They did a great job.  I was proud.  This past week at work has been a whirlwind as we have been slammed with claims from Hurricane Ike.  It is just incredible the amount of damage this storm has done to so many people.  We have been averaging 40,000 calls a day (the previous record amount for one day was 21,000 during hurricane katrina).  The amazing thing about it is that we are just one insurance company... there are hundreds of other companies that are getting calls like this as well.  It is definitely a humbling experience to talk to person after person who have lost so much and are still without power or jobs or possibly have yet to even be allowed back to their homes to access the damage.  I am so thankful that the storm turned and did not hit us.  I talked to someone today all the way in Pennsylvania who had a tree through his roof from this same storm.  Incredible.  On a happier note... the State Fair is in town.  Denny and I went to the fair last night and I even talked him into going to the Gavin Degraw concert with me.  It was great.  He has such an amazing voice, and it is just as good in person. Here is a cell phone pic from the show:

  Gavin is the one in the hat (as usual)

  

  So for all my One Tree Hill fan friends out there he ended the concert with, "I don't want to be anything other than what I've been tryin to be lately..."  Good stuff.
