Update

I guess it is time to update my blog and let you all know how we have been spending our three week Christmas break. For starters, it has been very cold. We are in the middle of a big cold snap here in Europe. Today it is only 19 degrees outside. That may not sound so bad, but for us with little indoor resources to keep us busy, it is cold! We have done one day outing to a town two hours away. Other than that, we have stayed mostly home. We have had many projects to keep us busy and moving. We have cleaned out our attic, our storage room, and under our stairs. We were surprised by the junk we have collected. We realized that everything from our original move to this house three years ago were still in rubber made containers. So that is all currently sitting in our garage which will all get thrown out between now and most likely by the end of March in the regular trash. We have begun preparing for our year furlough by purging of our junk. It is so nice to only have the essentials around us to use for the next six months.

Other activities to keep us busy has included playing our new Wii that we got for Christmas. Jeff is now at the pro level with bowling. We have also enjoyed playing many card games and watching family movies at night. We feel rested and ready for the next push of the school year as we prepare for the next step for us that the Lord has! WELCOME 2009!
