wow! I can't believe Christmas is almost here! I hope that this find you having settled in after Thanksgiving and doing all you can to stay sane through CHristmas. Let us not forget one thing. The reason for this season is not found in gifts, food, music, or anything else we associate with it! The reason for the season is the birth of Jesus Christ who came to this earth to die for our sins so that we may be seen as clean before the Lord! We so often get hung up in finding the 'perfect' gift when sometimes the perfect gift is a little extra time spent with that person or even a sweet word of encouragement when things are tough. I hope that you all remember that as i am trying to remind myself of that daily!

Chip and us are doing really well! We ran into some Dextrose the other day and have blown up but we're starting to deflate (FINALLY). We re-introduced Soy and i THINK/HOPE that it is going to be soemthing we can, in fact, have. We will have to wait and see but so far, so good with it. Other than that we are just hunkering down through this crazy weather and trying to really lean on the lord during tough times. The mortgage industry is a tough place to be right now...... but we're leaning on God through it!

Miss you all and wising you all the happiest holiday season! xoxo
