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.

Friday

Well, it has been an eventful day. Missie and I ran to town to go to the bank and get a couple of things, in the pouring rain, with plastic and a tarp over the window to keep from getting wet, and she had to help me by watching for traffic. Then we came home and ended up going to another town to get Jr. some cold meds, and pain reliever. We stopped and checked on our car and it had an orange sticker on that the police had put there. If it was still sitting there in 48 hrs. it would be considered abandoned and would have been towed away. So when we got back the rain had slacked off and Jr. and I went, and he steered our car and I towed it with the car we have been loaned (without one window.) 3 times it came undone, but we made it home safely, and I thank the Lord for that. So it is sitting in our yard. When the weather permits and his health permits, he will start to take it apart and see for sure what is wrong. He thinks it might be the timing belt. If so, they are only about $22 and he can replace it. So time will tell.

Missie asked me a couple of times today how I could keep trusting the Lord in all the battles that we have and I told her the rain falls on the just and unjust. Later I said something and I cannot remember what it was, and do you know what she said to me? "The rain falls on the just and the unjust." I thought that was so cute. She and I had quite a time inb the pouring rain with the window out. But we had some laughs and made it through.

So that is the update for now. Unless we get a ride or another vehicle to use we won't get to church on Sunday, because we cannot take Preston in the car with no window. We will see what happens.
