It’s a new year already. I can’t believe it’s 2010! My birthday is this Sunday the 10th, and I will be 30. I have been thinking about my childhood alot lately. I suppose that’s because I have reconnected with alot of people on Facebook. I know the cliches are about the good old days, but these can be good days too. I like to look back and think of where I have been, and when I do, alot of times I realize I am better off now than I was then. Of course there are the good times that I miss, but I really don’t miss the mistakes I made. I thank God that He has brought me far from the sin I used to dwell in.
Jeremy and I had a great Christmas. We had dinner with my dad and step-mom. It was a quiet affair with just the four of us. But we had good food and great fellowship. And, it wouldn’t be Christmas without watching “A Christmas Carol”. As a matter of fact, we watched two versions! The day after Christmas, Jeremy and I watched “It’s A Wonderful Life”. I think that’s one of my favorite Christmas movies. Oh, my favorite is “The Nativity Story” which we watched on Christmas morning before we went to my dad’s house.
We also had a quiet New Year. We had spent a few days house sitting for my dad and Melanie. They returned from their trip on New Year’s Eve so we went home. It was late afternoon when we went home and I didn’t want to cook so we went to dinner- nothing fancy, just a simple meal at Huddle House. We stayed up to watch the New Year come in and watched an episode of Little House on the Prairie and then went to bed about 12:45.
I know it’s still early in the year, but we have had some good services at church already. This Sunday was pretty awesome. We had some powerful visits from God at both the morning and evening service. We also had a great time at our midweek service last night. We have our service on Thursday instead of Wednesday.
Other than this we are pretty much the same. We both applied for a job at a new restaurant that is opening up in town. I’m still praying that the Lord will let me remain at home, and so far He has. Jeremy is doing well in his GED classes. He has passed Social Studies, Reading and Science. He is on math right now which is his hardest subject. When he finishes with it he can retake the writing test. Apparently he did well on the essay but missed one to many questions on the multiple choice part. So, I don’t think it will be too hard for him to pass it this second time around.
Well, that’s pretty much it for right now. I will keep you posted on what’s going on with us.
