Happy New Year!

Well...we made it to California! Only 2 hours late! We had a pretty uneventful trip and have really enjoyed time with friends and family out here! The weather has been good and we have eaten a tremendous amount of food!
I am reading a book that has been really good. The title is, "23 minutes in Hell" I know it sounds twisted or weird, but for those who are Christians it is a great book and those who are not I think would find value in it. It is about a man who based on his account went there and came back to write about it. Of course there are those who say he was dreaming or that he is crazy, but I have really enjoyed the book. It reminds me of 90 minutes in Heaven which was another great book....just thought I would share that I was reading a book because that doesn't happen all too often!
Hope everyone is having a great week!

The Reason for the Season!

Merry Christmas!
Melisa and I are sitting in the Chicago airport hoping that we are not to delayed tonight! I always enjoy a good time to sit and reflect what we are thankful for! We have had such a tremendous year, from moving from Phoenix to Prescott to Chicago! We can't make up our mind and who knows what God has in store for us next. There is some uncertanty at work, but we are keeping our heads high knowing that we are not in control and wherever we are we are thankful to have each other! I think all this moving has brought us closer to each other and it has been wonderful!
There are so many who are in tough positions this year whether the loss of a loved one or loss of a job....just know that we are praying for you!
Heres to a great 2009! Merry Christmas to all!

Christmas!

We are heading out to warmer weather in just a week or so! It has been so cold here in the windy city, it was 16 yesterday.....as a high!!! People are not meant to live in that kind of cold! I always joke that it is -100 but it really felt that way yesterday, the winds make it bitter!
Tomorrow is Melisa's 28th b-day, we met her parents tonight for dinner, that was great!
Hope everyone is doing well!
