Change in Presidency picture

I finally got around to getting the picture of the new presidency of the branch AND I took it in the new building. (Like you ca
First Counselor, Jerry Stone, President Mike Morrow and Second Counselor, Miller McDowell.

Final update on building progress

Done, finish, final, kaput, end of, sewn up..whatever word you want to use. The building is done. It is ours!
Today after meetings, anyone that was interested, drove over to the new building and looked around. Keys were handed out to the necessary guardians of building keys and here we go, starting a new era for the Rockport Branch. Only one more meeting in the old building to say our farewells, then it is on to the new and testing the setup. Nothing is set in stone, but we will see how the initial setup works. Manuals will have to be read for the organ and keyboards. The sound system is going to be explained this coming week. Testing with the satellite system for broadcasts from SLC, etc, etc, etc.
So, I have been working on getting a really good picture of the building ( personally, I may never achieve what I am looking for with my current equipment, soooooooooooo) that I think looks fantastic. Many different angles and of course many different lights. This will be a work in progress from my point of view, so bear with me.
Here are a few examples for now.

FAB_- U - LOUS !!!!!!!

Is it really almost here??? The time to move into our new building??? Well, today, I went by to pick up some empty boxes to haul them off for Bob and got to empty a few more. The chairs, the tables, the artwork, the lamps, the pianos, the keyboards, the library material, the tv's....A SEWING MACHINE....a quilting rack. The list just goes on and on and on..... Our building is the very first model for this particular plan package building. So, we are PIONEERS. How about that?

It truly is nice. It will take some getting use to what with the different layout. We all came to love our little
green building, but I think with a little adjustment, we will really come to love and appreciate our new one.
All of the walls are insulated, all of the partitions are sound-proof. There is a modern up-to-date audio system.
The landscaping is looking fantastic. (Almost time for the grass to be cut) I was going to try and get some good shots today, but there were so many trucks in the parking lot. I want to try and get one of the entire lot without any vehicles. Haha, maybe I will and maybe I won't.....

Oh yes, another update....Miller McDowell was called as a counselor in the Branch Presidency this past Sunday to replace Chris Wood who moved to Durango, Colorado. So, welcome to Bro. McDowell and farewell to Bro. Wood.

Slacker, procrastinator ???????

Looks like that should be my new name..........although, I have been extremely busy.....I honestly have just been putting it off, trying to think of what to say.
Sooooooooo, I will let more pictures do the talking. It is getting real close now. Our very first sacrament meeting will be on November 11, 2012 in the new building. The landscaping is looking really good. Curtains are up, carpet is down, room dividers are in. I think it is all done except for maybe a few tweaking touches on the maybe the satellite system, etc.

On Wednesday, we will be unwrapping the new furniture that will be going into the building. So, I know I will have more to share then
