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.

Can it be true?????

Can it really be true? That my mom, stepdad and brother, Myles, are leaving Canada tomorrow to come and see us???? Oh my goodness, I can't believe it! Myles is on holidays for 2 weeks, so they are heading to SC to see us. I am almost afraid to be so happy. I am afraid they will change their mind. Once they get out of Canada, I will be more hopeful. Not sure how long they will stay, but I will appreciate every minute I have with them.

Then, another hard to believe fact! Can you handle 2 in 1 day?

Next Wed. evening, Hannah, one of my best friends, is coming with her family, to stay with Preston and Missie and Jr. and I are leaving for IN. We are going up to see our house, and to see about a job for Jr. We will come home on Sat. Hannah is a CNA and can handle caring for Preston. Preston has consented, can you believe that? He loves Hannah and has known her since he was a little guy. I think she is about the only one who could stay with him. She has 3 children, who Missie adores, so she is sooo excited about this. JJ is a little over a year old, and is just the most adorable little guy! Missie loves helping care for him. I just can't believe that Jr. and I will have a trip alone, for the 1st time in almost 20 years. Wow, we won't know how to act. I hope I don't chicken out at the last minute about leaving Preston. It will be harder to leave him than Missie, because Missie goes away to youth camps etc., and I have been away from her; but haven't been away from Preston. But I think it will be good for us!

So this is the exciting news for today! Tomorrow may be a different story; sure hope not!

Hi Norma,
I haven't been around much the last couple of weeks - so many induction days for the girls - new schools and a new college. End of term is always so busy - roll on next week - lol.
This is absolutely brilliant news - things are working out so well for you aren't they. And to think a while back you missed going to see your mum - I always believe things happen for a reason and this has shown so clearly here. Your life is taking such a positive turn for you all and I'm absolutely thrilled .
Blessings to you all.
