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.

2008 already!

Well, 2007 passed so quickly. It is hard to believe.

Today we had a quiet family day at home, which is the norm for us. We love being together and at home. Junior is feeling much better, but Missie is worse. She has the same dose he is getting over. Blow, blow, blow and cough, cough, cough! Oh me! And we were to start school tomorrow. We will do some; probably not a full load like we usually do, though.

Tomorrow I have to call the place where we got the car and see what they can work out for us. I hope they will help us, if it be God's will. The only problem is that their payments are quite high and we would like a bigger vehicle and lower payments. Our mini van was less than $200/month but that has been a while back. Anyhow, will see what they say. Thanks to Susan, we have a car to use until we can get another one.

I hate that Jr. has to go back to work tomorrow. I have loved having him here and him not having to go to bed so early; we have had more time together. But it is back to the grind of his getting up at 4:30 each a.m. Preston said he wishes his daddy could sell on the internet and stay home. But we would have to make a lot of sales/week to stay afloat and then pay for our own insurance, etc. So that is not an option, sadly.

We have many decisions to make in the next few months. We need your prayers. We want God's will for our lives.

Hope you all, my friends and family, have a wonderful 2008.

Happy New Year....I pray that your phone call to car place goes as God plans. Just remember that every time a door shuts another one opens. I hope that Missie is feeling better. We have had a bit of "bug" going through our house too. I am very happy to have a new "blogger" friend. Hang in there, I'm praying for you in Kentucky!
