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.

A Whole Week?

Wow, I haven't blogged in a whole week.

We are all alive and well here! Missie finished her 1st 9 weeks and even though she was 2 weeks late (actually only had 7 weeks) she did 15 paces which is what she was supposed to do in 9 weeks. So we are so proud of her. She got to go to the Sarah Palin rally on Friday with friends from school; then after church went to a family's farm for a youth get-to-gether and got home about 12:30. She really enjoyed it all.

Revival ended tonight; it is kind of sad. But it is tiring to go almost every night. We can actually afford to go to revival here every night, if we want. I only missed 1 night. I enjoyed the Tillis' ministry. Listening to them sing was like being back in campmeeting. I love the old time singing with the spirit. They are precious people.

It is almost bedtime, but wanted to check in. The Lord is helping us buy Preston's meds. A man at church gave us $40 on Friday night, and the meds. were $84. That helped us to be able to buy some groceries. God never fails. I will be glad when the meds. arrive at the clinic and we won't have to buy it. I go to the clinic on Wed. to see about getting help for me to get my meds. Mine is over $300/bottle. All of Jr.'s is $4/bottle. I have 2 that are not. One is an arthritis medication and I am not sure how much it will cost.

Jr. will have insurance around January 1st at his job. They pay all of his except $1. We may not add Missie since she has medicaid. He is hoping to get a raise then too to cover the cost of insurance for me. So we will see.

Hope you all had a wonderful Lord's day.
