Is There a Doctor in the House??

My sister is a doctor!! :)
I went home with Stefani this weekend for her graduation, and my whole family was home. All except Eric, so that was a bummer. But we had a good time. Family dynamics can be quite an interesting situation in our family. The ceremony was very boring! Megan and I were entertaining ourselves by taking pictures of random graduates stopping for pictures with their own family.
We drove back on Sunday afternoon. I don't know if any of you have listened to books on tape, but Stefani and I spent the whole 8 1/4 hours listening to a book and we didn't quite get through it. I need to know the ending!!!

Our holidays aren't quite what they should be. Eric still hasn't heard about a job, so he's dumpy and I'm dumpy, and it's really hard to get in the Christmas spirit when you aren't looking forward to what comes next. He's really frustrated, and we're trying to be patient and trust the Lord, who knows the plans He has for Eric. Time is running out, however. Keep us in your prayers as we keep trusting and try to make the holidays what they are truly meant to be. A celebration of the birth of God's son. It's not about us at all. Jesus is the only reason for this season, and Eric and I need to remember that.

Small Group

I thank God very often for my small group from church. Last night we got together for a Christmas party, and it was the most fun I've had in a while. Our group just clicks very well together, and I love the wonderful women. Our group truly seems to be a support and cares about the little things going on in all our lives. God has blessed me with some great friends.
And boy, these friends sure can cook!! :)

10 Cookies

Yesterday, Clay Beasley came down to play playstation with Eric. That was fine, they were upstairs and I got a few minutes of peace to read. I was trying to be all Suzy-homemaker and be the perfect hostess, so I offered some cookies to Clay. I think by the time he left, he had eaten at least ten. We had two cookies left in the box! Eric couldn't believe it. I thought it was kind of funny. Guess from now on I'll have to put a limit on it! :)
