This is the only way it would let me post :(

Here it is December, where has time gone. I just realized this a.m. I have not posted pics of our new home, where we moved to in May. I am really bad at blogging now :( Preston is doing great! He did have a cold, but other than that, he is doing well! We are so thankful for that.Missie loves Union Bible Academy. She has moved into the dorm so she won't have to drive 1 1/2 hrs/day and during winter it would have been hard. She loves living in dorm and having her friends there. She is in choir and absolutely loves that and travels when they travel. She is maintaining a B average, and that is great! It was a big switch to switch from ACE cirriculum to textbooks, but she has done very well. We love our home, and spending our first holidays in it! Will post some pics.

Ready for bed

Yes, I am at the age that I am ready for bed by 9 p.m. So sad!
I feel good usually when I wake up in a.m. but by afternoon my chest starts hurting and I have shortness of breath. It is not my heart, because before Preston's last illness I went to a cardiologist and he couldn't find anything wrong with my heart. It is fatigue and nerves, I know. I guess I am destined to be tired the rest of my life!

Preston had a pretty good day today. His walking is NOT improving at all, which makes it harder on us, because we have to get him up and down to use the bathroom, and sit in his chair etc. Junior doesn't have a problem with doing it; but I do, and Missie has gotten so she won't let me do it alone. Today we only had to get him up once since the aide was here this a.m. and then Jr. was here this evening.

Missie went to Laura's today and made a pillow. She was so excited, as that is the first thing she has ever sewn on the sewing machine! I appreciate Judy with her very busy schedule too, taking time to have Missie over to be with Laura a couple of hrs. and work on home ec. together. It means a lot to us!

Haven't heard a word from Columbia yet on the status of Hannah's papers. Oh me, the government is so slow except when you owe them money, ha, and I am so glad we don't owe them any!!!

Last night I was talking to a lady from church and she told me that every service while Preston was in the hospital that she was there, that we were lifted up in prayer. That was so nice to hear from someone, even though we knew it had been that way. Knowing we are loved and prayed for makes a big difference in our lives.

I just ask your prayers for me especially that God will touch me. I need a physical and mental touch from the Lord to keep going.

Thanks for everything!
