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.

The weekend is over!

Well, the weekend is over. Yesterday I cleaned that office with Missie's help for the last time. I hope someone will thump me over the head if I ever get a wild idea like that again! I knew we could use the money, but I should have known I could not take it with my fibro. Anyhow, it is over!!! And to top it all off, because I didn't fulfill the whole month, the lady is not wanting to pay us what it is worth. I asked for $150 for Missie and I, total, because we went 3 times, and it was a huge job. And we did a good job each time. But we will see. Whatever we get goes for a puppy. I promised Missie we would get her a puppy from the humane society. But I don't think we will get the money until the first of April, when the lady gets paid.

We made it to church tonight, and my friend Hannah and her 3 children met us there. It was so nice to be with her again. We have been friends for a long time. I love her like a sister. Then we all ate in the fellowship hall afterwards.

We are making some changes in our lives. We are not going to have the nurse's aide come into our home any more. I am not able physically to get up 2 mornings/week to keep the van. Jr. is going to arrange his work hours to get off at noon on Friday and then we will take Preston on his outing. On Sat. Missie works for 2 hrs. at humane society and then she can also go skating that day too, while we are already over that way. Gas is so high, we just cannot afford to run so much, so are going to try and condense our trips. And I get to be home every day during week which I absolutely love!!! Preston is almost recovered and I can do what he needs to have done for him. So it will be nice to be alone again and not having someone come in 3 times/week. If we ever need someone again, we can always get help.

So that is the latest. Headed to bed soon; last night I slept better, thank the Lord.
