The Holidays are over....

Well John Mark and I made it through our first holiday season as a married couple. It was a new and different experience.
The day after I got out of school, we left for Alabama and stayed there until the day of Christmas. It was so great to be back there! I didn't want to leave, but alas Texas was calling and we drove the 12 hours back to Dublin, TX. We just spent a day with JM's family and came back to Waco, so JM could put in some hours at the paint store. And man, did he rack up some hours over the holiday! It was nice-we were able to pay for all those gifts we bought! :)

We went back to Dublin for the weekend of New Year's, and had a lot of fun with some families from the Bouchers' church. JM and I had our first New Year's kiss :) On New Year's day, we went to visit the couple that we will be working with this summer in the Middle East. That was really neat and makes me even more ready to go!

This past week was soooo nice! I didn't have to do anything! Sleeping in and taking it easy. Oh I learned how to crotchet, and I'm making a scarf. So I've been working on that. We had some friends over and had a Lost Extravaganza :) We watched the first disc of the first season, trying to get some of the guys who came in late to the show caught up a bit. In case you didn't know, we get together with JM's old roommates on Wednesday nights to watch Lost. So since that night, I've watch way too much Lost! I haven't seen much of the first season either, so it was neat to watch it.

On a more serious note, JM's grandad is in the hospital and not doing too well. He has Parkinson's, but he went in for pneumonia and kind of gone down hill. So remember him and the family in your prayers please.
