Life is good :)

Between starting my new job, Thanksgiving, and continuing to get settled into our home, things have been somewhat hectic around our house the past several weeks! I started my new job one week ago – I have been at Student Life for about 1 1/2 years now, but just switched over from the call center to being a Ministry Event Coordinator. It is a job that I have always dreamed about but never thought it was actually out there. I could not be more excited! Graham is actually the Ministry Event Director with me so we work side by side, all day, every day. Some people may think we are crazy for doing this…believe me, I’ve had plenty of people tell me this. But it has always been a prayer of mine that my husband and I would be able to do full-time ministry together. What a special blessing it is to serve alongside my husband as we have the joy of serving others. We will be doing lots of traveling throughout the year – especially in the spring and summer. Some places we will be going this year are NC, GA, TN, FL, OK, PA, and Kenya. We have a busy year ahead of us, but one that I could not be more thrilled about!
Our Thanksgiving was wonderful. We stayed here in AL and spent the day with my family. This was the first year that we have had both my mom and dad’s family together for a holiday, and it was great. It was such a wonderful picture of how much we have to be thankful for!

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we put our Christmas tree up and decorated for Christmas. This is my favorite time of the year – poor Graham has had to put up with me listening to Christmas music constantly since…well…before Thanksgiving... Yes…I am that person. But those of you who know me know that it isn’t a rare thing for me whip out a Jingle Bells or Silent Night in June…. Hey..it’s good music :)

I am putting some pictures on here of our Christmas decorations and our house since I have had some requests to get those up here, so here you go!
