Well, the holidays have come and gone and we are getting back to normal. (whatever that is for us) We had a wonderful Christmas Program with our children at church. The Adult Choir did an awesome job presenting their musical. Our Christmas Eve service was enjoyed by a full house. We had over 100 people come through our house for our Christmas open house. So December was full of wonderful holiday events.
January began with a flurry of activity as well. It started off with a disaster at the home we own in Iowa. We had some water in the basement and that required us to be out of town for most of one week, cleaning up and fixing that situation. Then we went to Orlando FL for 5 days for a Leadership Conference with Stampin' Up! We enjoyed the wonderful 70+ degree temps there. The only bad thing is that we were both sick with the flu while we were there.
Rachel and I attended a Bridal Show in Overland Park Kansas last Saturday and that was a fun day. We tasted about a million pieces of cake and lots of appetizers from catering companies. We are making lots of wedding plans. It will be here before we know it.
Aaron is hard at work on his Global University courses. His job at the Mall is cutting back a few hours on all the employees and this is a good thing for him. He originally asked for 20-25 hours so he could keep up with his school. Through the holidays he was working around 40 hours. It was just impossible for him to do school full time and work full time. So he is down to under 30 now and that is a good thing.
Aaron preached his first sermon in youth this month. We're proud of his desire to learn and be used of God.
We held our Week of Prayer at church this week and it was fantastic. We were so pleased with the attendance. We continue to be grateful for the opportunity to pastor this great church.
I'm sick of cold weather. I am ready for Spring and all it has to offer with flowers, warmer temps, pretty trees, etc.
Please continue to pray that we sell the house in Iowa.
Till we meet again . . .
