- We had an absolutely wonderful Christmas time with Nate's family. I feel such a part (and an integral part) of the family, it is just overwhelmingly wonderful to me.
- I am potty training Claire and am on day 2 of no accidents...so far!! Praise the Lord
- I have four healthy happy children
- Nate went almost straight from Christmas break to back to work and almost totally mentally absent...absorbed with "the business" but I am so very thankful that Lord willing, this is the last season of that.
- I have some very specific health goals for this year and I am totally motivated to pursuing their end......I would like to be off one asthma medication as soon as possible, and I would like to fit into my wedding dress for my 10th anniversary in August
- I am still incredibly thrilled and in love with the wonderful Christmas present my husband made for me....a nativity scene, out of wood from our old shed and branches he gathered with the kids, and put the Willow Tree nativity set into it. It was so beautiful and perfect, exactly what I've been wishing for for so many years and been searching in vain for.
- It is cold today...and I am giggling at their actually cancelling school in Carrollton because of the COLD! Not snow, not ice, cold. Meanwhile, in Bemidji, where it is about 40 degrees colder, life goes on as usual.
- Speaking of Bemidji, one of the biggest things I am thankful for right now is for Mandi, my dear sister-in-law. You have some choice in who your in-laws will be, but who they will marry is entirely out of your hands. And yet, I couldn't imagine a better, sweeter sister than her. It's like we've been friends forever and I love her so much.
- I am sipping coffee with eggnog creamer from my silver travel mug right now....lovely
- I am terrified but honored to have been asked to share a brief testimony at our next church ladies meeting. I am really beseeching Heaven on what exactly I should say and really don't know right now, but hoping God will give me some words to bless and edify.
And I would like to post pictures of my lovely nativity scene, but haven't gotten there yet...check my header soon! Love to all and Happy New Year!!
