Christmas

This was definitely not the first Christmas back that I had imagined. Christmas Eve we went out to visit with my Grandparents and I got to meet my little 2nd cousin, born on Thanksgiving Day, for the first time--

so precious. We opened presents and it was nice to be home with my family for Christmas. . . then everything changed.


No details, but I had to move out of my house, leaving behind my car, on Christmas night. I didn't know where I would go or how I would make it, but the Lord is soo faithful, which is a great thing to be reminded of during Christmas when we are celebrating His coming to earth.
The past few days haven't been easy, but I have a peace that only the Father can give to His children and I am trusting Him to work the best for my life.

Giving Thanks

Well, my first big holiday back in the states was awesome--Thanksgiving!

There was soo much good food. How could a girl resist? Pumkin pie, sweet potato casserole, green bean casserole, turkey and dressing. . .

I had a ton of fun having all day to spend with family and not worrying about where else I needed to be. We took lots of pictures and made alot of memories.
