Hello all!

I've been keeping busy, as always.  Work is good, but tiring.  My family is all doing great, and I should get to see them all next weekend.  CANNOT WAIT!!!!!! 

This has been a difficult time for me, the past few months, because Jeff and I left our church.  It was a decision that was made by God, and as much as I KNOW He no longer wanted us there, and I have NO doubts about that, I miss some of my friends.  There were several of us who left at once, for various reasons.  We haven't yet found a new church, so it's odd that, at Christmas time, I'm not singing or performing anything.  Very odd. 

The nephews are growing like weeds!  JT is running!  CR will be up and at 'em in no time.  TC, the oldest from my side, was in a play a month or so back, and he was AWESOME!  He only had 2 weeks to learn the role AND pick up a convincing British accent, which he did, and smashingly!  The night we went, he had 20 family memebers and who knows how many friends there to support him.  In one scene, he'd been tied up, and when the other actors were helping untie him, the rope in his mouth got stuck on his braces!  They played it off well, and he show continued as if nothing happened.

I put my Christmas tree up last Sunday, and I love it!  The wreath I did isn't bad, either.  They are both white with red, silver, and 'crystal' acceents.  Since this house was built in the 40's, and the white trees were popular in the 50's, I thought it was a cool retro fit.

I have all of my Christmas shopping done!  Even the stocking stuffers have been taken care of.  Now, it's just the waiting!!!!

I want snow for Christmas!  I AT LEAST want the weather to be cold.  It's been very warm here this past week, and it doesn't seem at all like Christmas, weatherwise.

I hope you all have a wonderful Christmas!  God has been so good to us all!

Hugs,
April
