It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas! We are both off work for a few days, we're getting ready to go back to Ackerman tomorrow for the Burdine Christmas, I've got Christmas carols on for background music, all 3 of our Christmas trees are lit up, and there's a fire in the fireplace. A little while ago, we cut off the TV and just sat and enjoyed it for a minute. It was only for a couple of minutes, but it was hands down the best few minutes of the season so far.
And as much as I enjoyed it, I felt there was something missing... the rest of our family. It's strange that I don't know them. I don't know anything about them. We've never met. Yet they are a part of this family and I cannot wait to share moments like that with them.
I also got an email today saying that one of our Operation Christmas Child boxes went to Honduras, and the other went to Tanzania. I was hoping they would go to the Ukraine, but I guess there are needy children all over the world who need those boxes as bad, or worse, than the kid we're trying to bring home. I just pray that he or she is being cared for and loved. I pray that they are warm, well fed, and loved.
