Well, things are starting to get back to normal in our house...if you could ever refer to our house as "normal." Everyone is back from the holidays, we are done with parties and guests, and we are all back to work. I have to say, I actually glad to be back to work, but I certainly enjoyed every bit of the Christmas/New Year season. It was a whirlwind, but here is the quick rundown... be prepared for a LOT of pictures!
First, some of our very dearest friends, Caleb and Alison, tied the knot. We all (our entire house and many of our friends from Dallas) traveled down to Houston for the weekend and had a blast. I can honestly say that I do not believe I have been to a sweeter more beautiful wedding. The entire weekend was a just a joy from start to finish.

Immediately after Caleb and Alison's wedding was over, Chris and I drove the four and a half hours back to Dallas so we could sleep for a few hours before we got on the road for Indy. Christmas was absolutely wonderful, and it was just so nice to be able to see my family after 6 months! It was a visit filled with lots of card playing, lots of wii, and TONS of laughing till you cry! It was awesome!

This is my favorite set...Jessica's attempt to be subtle in her reaction to grandma giving Chris the Kelly Pickler CD.
Hmmm...do you think anyone noticed that she found it humorous?
Yep, she lost it. There's no hiding it.
Love them!

After Christmas Jessica came and spent the week with us. I'm a slacker and I don't really have any pictures of that. :( It was wonderful! We had a blast!
And finally, last but not least, we ended the holidays with another wedding. Chris performed his first wedding ceremony for some wonderful friends, John and Tyese. It was simply beautiful!
2nd attempt at flowers...I think I'm getting better!

Overall, it was a fabulous way to end 2008 and begin 2009. Its hard to believe all the changes that are going to come in this year alone. Before the end of this year Chris and I, along with some of our wonderful brothers and sisters in Christ, will have left behind everything that is familiar and comfortable to embark on the mission the Lord has set before us. Its going to be a crazy year, and I can't wait!
