Christmas time!!

So Christmas Eve flies in...feeling like we just had Thanksgiving the week before! I have to say we are truly blessed being down here. You have all maybe heard me say this in previous blogs but I truly mean this. Even in the days I am miserable with life. We have some family out here and have been on a true roller coaster watching such loved ones go through some of the most challenging of times and trying to be there and be an encouragement for them when you are dealing with your own junk. But in this God is like "its OK...trust my leadership. Look at what I have put before you." He has given us some amazing friends that have already been such a support system for us even in the small amount of time we have known them.

So moving on we to Christmas Eve...we had of course Gabe, Des, Sam, Martina and Titi here at the house and invited our friends Chriss, Steven and there son Brett over for food and a night of games. We got to do a lil exchange of presents and just enjoyed each others company.




On Christmas day itself we really just did last minute cleaning up the house and preparing for my dad and step-mother that would be coming the day after Christmas. So much excitement as we prepare!
