I can't believe I haven't updated the blog in a month! My two day a week teaching job + homeschooling has taken up more of my time than I expected. I can't believe I didn't even take the time to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. Oh well! We did have a good Christmas, and hope you did as well. We were able to go home for a week - thanks to the generosity of our parents and Aaron changing his j-term class. We enjoyed our visit to Easley - although it wasn't long enough and somewhat busy! We are coming up on Aaron's last semester of school. I really can't believe that January 26 marks 2 years that we have lived in Louisville. It has gone quicker than I ever imagined it would. God has continued to bless us, protect us, provide for us - all in ways I never dreamed, and I am certainly so grateful for His provision. I'm looking forward to the new year ahead and what God has in store for us.

Now, I'll let you enjoy some Christmas pictures:

It was warm enough in SC to play outside!

Christmas Cards

I FINALLY did it! I ordered our Free cards from Shutterfly. We took our pictures back in October, but Aaron did not like the lighting. We had to wait for the semester to end before we had a chance to take a new one. I had decided to use the old pictures anyway and had created a card, but Aaron still was not happy with it. We took pictures this past Saturday afternoon - and guess what? I wasn't happy about those! Oh well, I figured I couldn't miss out on 50 free cards so I used one of the pics that was better than the others and went with it. I hope they arrive soon so I can get them out. If not, be prepared to receive cards from us for New Year's! Here's what it looks like:
