We wish you a Merry Christmas...We wish you a Merry Christmas....We WISH you a Merry Christmas...AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
Lots of painting makes you crazy! Mike was not happy about this one, because the writing never really disappeared, even after 3 coats. So..."though it's been said many times many ways...Merry Christmas...to you!"
Me, Megan & Amanda with our fireworks!!
My good friend Pamela's wedding - Pam and I (along with other friend shown Amanda and Anadee) were RA's together our junior year at Biola. It was such a blast to see them again, as it had been 3+ years and way too long. Megan and I visited Pam her first year in Budapest for a few days, so we have a taste of the life she is going back to with her new hubby Oliver. The weekend was a blast and we enjoyed the blessing of lots of hilarious storys.
Thanksgiving Redo...one week later at Mike and Jen's House. You have to understand that we like Thanksgiving dinner. We made it about a month before Thanksgiving and again a week after Thanksgiving for a second big feast, fried turkey and all.

MMMmmm..
One thing you have got to know about Mike is that he loves to paint, and he is good at it. We have now turned our white open canvas of a house into some of our own little master pieces. At this point we have painted all 3 bathrooms, part of the living room and kitchen and more is to come.
