Well, I am a little late wishing you all a Happy New Year. I hope 2010 is a wonderful year for you and your family! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas Season; we did for sure!
We are sooo thankful now that winter has arrived, that Junior has a job close to home! God is so good to have given him this job! He had a few days off the week of Christmas and also the week of New Years. This work he has worked 6 evenings. He gets very tired, but maybe it will slow down later and he will be off on Saturdays.
Preston is doing so well. He wrote a love letter to a single lady at church whom he says he loves. He wrote, "I love you." "Don't tell my mom Gwin about this." Then he signed it "a man." Well, when she walked in church he told her to come over there where he was sitting on the back bench and handed it to her. He told her if she couldn't read it, he would read it to her. She told him she could read it! I could not believe he did all of that without our knowledge! He confessed it all to us on the way home from church. We were flabbergasted! He told me today he thought of giving her his valentines (some he kept that we given to him in the past) and I told him no, they were used. I told him I would help him pick out a nice card for her and he could sign his name and give it to her for valentine's day. He said it took a lot of concentration and 3 tries before he got it right. Then he hid it in his pant's pocket. He said he knew if he told us we would tell him to not give it to her, lol What a character he is! He is not near as stressed as he used to be, even with taking the generic buspar! God is so good! He has a wonderful sense of humor and the people around him love him to death!
Missie is working hard on volleyball, school work, piano lessons, and working on a short story, solo and also a couple of duets for ACE competition. It will be here before we know it. Last year, she was all ready, and was too sick to go. I hope she will be able to go this year. She has a very busy life here but loves it! Tomorrow after morning worship, the upper learning center kids from our church are meeting at the school to eat lunch, then go on to the nursing home service to sing their songs, as a practice for the competition. Then we have church again tomorrow night. She went sledding today with some kids and young people from the church and met up with the youth group of another holiness church in our town, and had a wonderful time. She has bruised her tailbone though, and has been in pain. At least we think it is just bruised. Last night, she traveled with her volleyball team to Beech Grove, IN to play volleyball. They lost last night, but had a great time playing anyhow! She enjoys it so much! It has actually helped her hypermobility to be so active in volleyball. Running laps does bother her though, since she is not supposed to run at all. But so far she does it without complaint to her coaches. She is a busy girl and loves every minute of it!
We have had lots of snow this week! It is very pretty! We have not had any trouble getting around; you just have to go slow. Our tires are not the best on the van, so we just drive slow. Looking forward to our tax refund to get new tires and get Missie a new keyboard that has a pedal for her lessons.
So that is the latest from the Watsons!
