Drive through a total whiteout to go shopping! It seems to happen every year and I end up thinking, "What was I thinking?!". Of course when I start out I always think, "no problem". Oh well. Wallowa County has been covered in white for a few days. Although it is beautiful, it is much more beautiful looking at it from the inside of the house, wrapped in a cozy blanket, drinking a nice hot cup of cocoa, and reading a good book!
Well, this white-out wasn't so bad because I knew the road. I don't like the white-outs I have driven through coming home from Walla Walla or Lewiston. But Ashley and I survived and we are home and now her Christmas shopping is complete!
Today Ashley is going to get a Christmas tree with her dad. But that isn't the most exciting news of the day! Yes, the most exciting news is that I will be going to church here pretty quick to watch a special dedication for Justin. He has been studying to be a pastor and has gotten far enough along in his studies that he can now marry and bury and I don't know what all. So the church is giving him a certificate and who knows what all. I will write more later on what happens! Oh how wonderful to have three kids that love God with all their hearts!!

My heart is smiling for you today...because YOU gave them the opportunity to find and LOVE Jesus with all their hearts! Mmmmm...the blessings that come back after those crazy, hard years of child-rearing are so worth it! I hope you had an amazing, exciting day...and that you stay clear of any more white-outs! Sweet blessings!
P.S. Are you putting up a tree??? Here it is almost December 15th and I still haven't gotten our tree up....maybe tomorrow...or maybe not until next weekend :D I told your brother with his crazy schedule lately, I'll just put up the artificial one...and he agreed...so, guess you know how busy he's been :D We Love you...Sweet blessings!
P.S.S. Oh, and don't tell your Mom my tree's not up...she'd have a heart attack...every year so worries and asks every time we talk if I have a tree and I'm putting it up :D I just Love her!!!
