Part of our Lifegroup after we wrapped and filled boxes for Operation Christmas Child on Friday night. We love our friends!

I'm really looking forward to this little break, spending time with my friend Rachel and her family on Thursday, then seeing my family on Friday and Saturday in New Orleans. This weekend is coming at a perfect time. Its been a crazy past few weeks with Andrew's job and my work trip, among other things. We are seeing God do great things around us. He's also definitely giving us opportunities to trust Him...and even more reasons to be thankful for who He is and for what He's done. Many of our friends and family have experienced loss this past year. I've been thinking about this holiday season in a different light because of that, and I'm reminded that even in so much pain, there is Hope, and He is faithful. I pray you have a Happy Thanksgiving.

Is today Monday?

We are safely back in Orlando, after a 10(ish) hour drive from Chapel Hill, down I95. While Andrew and Barry traded off shifts at the steering wheel, Elizabeth, Jeannie, and I passed the time by watching 6 episodes of Gray's Anatomy (season 2), and a whole movie...Inside Man.

We received a mailbox full of fun Christmas greetings when we got back last night. I have definitely been behind on the Christmas-card-thing. I had full intentions of getting a card out this year...maybe it can be a "New Year's Card"...I'm not holding my breath, but we'll see! I am recovering from a cold, but I'm happy to be back at work catching up on some things here before I take more days off next week. Can't believe 2006 is over!
