Well, hello blog world!!! It has been FOREVER since I posted! I will try to do a quick Christmas update....
First of all we are singing praises to the King of Kings and Lord of Lords... God answers prayers!! His timing is not always our timing, but believe me He is still in the business of answering prayers!! 2 1/2 weeks before Christmas Matt & I took Eli to school and headed out to do some Christmas shopping, while we were in Kohl's Matt got a call from WalMart... He wandered off talking on the phone then when he wandered back to where I was he told me they called him to tell him he got a weekday shift!! After over 3 years of being on weekends he finally was where we want him to be! God couldn't have blessed Matt more w/better bosses on this shift! We are so thankful for this prayer to be answered. : )
We had a great Christmas, it was beautiful w/the SNOW! My family ventured out to our house on Christmas eve night, everyone made it out but my 88 yr old grandma. Travel went off almost w/o a hitch... my sister's cell phone was lost and on the way home her car ended up in the ditch, but with the help of kind strangers she and the kiddos were just fine! (we didn't find her cell until Jan 8th when the stuff melted) HAHAHA Then Christmas mid morning Matt, Eli, and I headed out to Owasso to see Matt's whole family! It took us quite a while to get there, but we made it! We had decided if we headed out to go there, we would just spend the night... so that's what we did! It was a good Christmas! We are so blessed to have family and friends so close.
Here are some random Christmas pics...
