Christmas was so busy this year and we were only home for Christmas eve evening and Christmas day. We had to drive home Christmas night. Yet we managed to fit in a birthday celebration, christmas eve service, christmas day service, my mom's family, tom's family, and my dad's family celebrations. I am still not sure how we pulled that one off. I think I want to have kids just so I have an excuse to miss some of them....;) My cousin Todd was back from North Dakota though, I hadn't seen him since before my wedding. The best part was the gift we got my brother. It was a replica of the leg lamp from A Christmas Story. It was awesome. It came in a box labeled FRAGILE and with a Major Award Certificate. It was perfect. We set it up in our front window and my mom said that cars stop and drive back to look at it. ;) (Read as: One car has done this which is amazing given the non-traffic on our road). Check out how the lamp came to be in the window below!
Tom and Kyle both wore black shoes, black socks, khaki pants, a black sweater, and the EXACT same leather coat. Scary...
Success is not life. Fame is not life. Money is not life. Even a perfect family is not life. An abundant life is the ability to experience God's love, power, and forgiveness in the midst of what the world throws at us in our so-called "life."
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness;
only light can do that.
Hate cannot drive out hate;
only love can do that.
Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence,
and toughness multiplies toughness
in a descending spiral of destruction."
- Martin Luther King, Jr.

This boggles my mind. Poor kitten only lived one day. They named him cyclops.

It's possible that I have been to West Virginia since I have visited that states around it but I don't remember, and the only one I may be lying about is Arkansas but I think we went through there on a family vacation, maybe... hmm.
