Christmas!

We have had the most blessed Christmas this year! We got to go to Abilene for a few days to visit my family and a few friends. We had such a great time and were blessed with great gifts and love! I hate living so far from my family, but it's great that Dustin and I get to be closer to his family for a while. We got back to Monroe on Friday, and Saturday we had Christmas at Dustin's step-sister's house and then his Dad's and again we were so blessed! Sunday we got to go to a great worship service at church and then had Christmas with Dustin's sister and mom's family. Although it's been a busy, traveling past week, we couldn't have asked for a better one.

Today we got to just chill and clean a little and got out of the house for a bit. Dustin has discovered his dream to own a Jeep, so we went and test drove one today to see if he'd actually like driving it. Of course, he did. So now he wants one even more, but it will definitely be a while before that happens.
I have 2 interviews on Wednesday, and I would really appreciate your prayers. Neither job is one I'd really love, but any job right now is just fine with me! We're hoping to be able to pay off as much as we can on our student loans and save a lot for a house one day..so any job would be appreciated! Well, gotta go make a grocery list...we have NO food after being gone for a week! Love you all!

wizoww. i suck at blogging.

seriously I am obviously no good at this! i keep forgetting to blog! Since the last post, we've been home to Abilene and back for Thanksgiving, had tons going on here at home, and still do! Dustin and I have both been sick the past few days..him with bronchitis and I've had just a regular old cold. We're both doing much better, but now I gotta book it this week to get all our Christmas presents done! I'm making most of our presents this year..at least for the adults..and sewing takes a while! But I know it will be worth it in the end. We're going back to Abilene this next Sunday to spend a few days there to have Christmas with my family, and we'll make it back to Monroe before Christmas eve!
We got our first Christmas tree as a married couple! It's pretty cute. We got a few ornaments, and then Dustin's step-mom bought us some more last week that I haven't had time to put on yet...hopefully I'll get to in the next day or so!
LouLou has been SO good the past few days! She's finally started going to the door when she needs to use the restroom..now all we need is for her to whine or bark so we can hear her if we're in a different room. Maybe a bell on the door handle would work? LouLou doesn't bark much unless someone is at the door or right outside our house..which is definitely a good thing. It's been really funny though because there's a commercial on TV that has a doorbell and she barks and goes to the door every time it comes on. Which is also kinda weird because we don't have a doorbell so I don't know how she knows that it's the door?! She's so smart!
Everything has been really good here..just busy as usual and I would still love it if ya'll could pray for me a job! My dream one is available..and I interviewed, but we're still waiting to hear back so please pray for me! We've got a very busy few days ahead again so I better get back to sewing! Love you all! And I'll try to start being better at blogging! :)
