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.

TGIF!

Thank God it is Friday! I have been running around most of the day, and it is past my bedtime, and I am glad I don't have to go anywhere tomorrow. Preston's aide came from 11-2 so Missie and I went grocery shopping and did a little Christmas shopping, came home and got most of the stuff put away, then had to go and get Jr., then home and get the mail and Preston, and to Easley to take Preston to a thrift store and out to eat. He really enjoyed it. He was happy to get out. So I have been gone a lot and that wears me out more than anything!

It has been a pretty good week. Schooling is doing good; Missie is buckling down! Thank the Lord she seems to now see the importance of getting her schooling. She is sooo excited about the prospect of Penn View. We are too! I met a lady on myholiness and she gave me the name of 3 places for Jr. to try and get a job up there. Now that the word is out among the holiness people through myholiness we will get some help with job prospects and maybe a place to live.

I have sold quite a bit of stuff on ebay this week. Missie cleaned out her stuff, and I have made enough money over the past few weeks to buy the kids Christmas. I am done shopping now, and have to wait the arrival of 2 gifts that are coming through the mail. I did the majority of it online which was a big help to me.

Gotta get to bed.
Wanted to check in, and let you all know we are doing well.

Our prayers are with you and Preston. We serve a great big God who is more than enough for all our needs.
