This Wednesday we had our married couples Christmas party. We have really enjoyed getting together with these 6 couples the past year and a half and it has helped in making us feel like we have friends in our own stage of life. I realized I had never taken any pics of this group this past week so I took my camera on weds. We had dinner and then a "dirty Santa" party where we each brought gifts that were from our house that had been given to us that we didnt want. Neither Mike nor I got a good gift but fortunately somebody stole Mikes so he stole these really cute Christmas hand towels for me. They have little ornaments on them and are really thick so they will be great for drying dishes. I was really excited as I have been looking for some.
Most of you know by now that Mike was accepted to UKs dental school last friday. He was very excited and I felt like he was on cloud nine all day. We received the paper work saying he had been accepted on weds. so I took a picture of him with it.
I made Checkers a stocking last weekend. I dont know if I will put anything in it but it looks cute. I was glad it turned out okay.
We also got new computers this week. RUF approved us both getting computers if we kept it under the original budget. It was great to get them and felt kinda like Christmas because we could never have gotten them if RUF hadnt allowed it. Mine is the green one and Mikes is the blue one.
These past 2 weeks have been really busy with Ministry and with Mike and dental school. Mike is going to do the Airforce to pay for school and all the paperwork needs to be turned in ASAP! It has been crazy getting everything we needed done but thankfully I think it is all in and hopefully they will accept us before they convene to accept the last people. He had an interview on thursday and then he went to Louisville to spend the night and get a physical this morning. To make sure his bad eyesight is caused by just bad eyes and not other things we had to find an optomologist that could see him today. It was crazy and definately made me think have to stop and remind myself of God's sovereignty and goodness. God provided an appt at 2 today and all turned out well.
We also had cooking baking at our house today and then the Christmas party. I will try and take pictures of the party tonight. It will be fun but I am tired and ready for life to slow down a little but I dont think that will happen until after Christmas.
