It was a busy Holiday Season

took photos at a wedding, then traveled to NEPA for Christmas with the Smalls. Trevor and I both agreed that it was the best trip we have taken in a while. We didn't have to be anywhere, didn't make any plans to see anyone other than family. We didn't leave town except for church which was like 15 minutes away. I felt so relaxed. It was nice family time.
After we got back we went down to our friends taekwondo studio and did some drywall/wood work. I was Trevor's faithful assistant. It had to be done in 3 days since they opened back up on Jan 3 after a 2 week vacation. So alllllllll weekend was spent hanging wood and drywall, mudding, sanding, routing, staining, clear coating, nailing, priming. We got it done Sunday evening. Then Monday-wednesday, I spent editing photos and putting them on CD's. so since before christmas I haven't been to the grocery store. Sooooo finally i feel like myself again and can get some stuff done.

Some other exciting news. Trevor will be traveling to Mexico with me this February. He has been anti foreign missions for a while since he feels his calling/work has been right here at home. But we happened to be at church when an open house was going on for 2 of the full time missionary staff from down there. So I told him I wanted to go. And what do you know, he changed is mind. So we rushed around and applied for his passport and got all the paperwork in. His passport came 2 days ago and hes officially going. It's funny how God worked that all out for us. Sooooooo excited for Trevor to experience this with me and for him to use is MANY handy gifts and talents for the people of Monterrey. So excited to see how God uses him!!! So exited to share this part of my life with him. So exited to serve along side him this time, since last year I couldn't even contact him the whole week. Hopefully I will get to see this precious girl again. I've been praying for her throughout the year. She lives in one of the squatter villages. Her name is Natalia and she could use your prayers too.
