Wow…I’ll be today’s posts will be very, very long!  Here are the highlights, anyway…

• Thursday:  Thanksgiving dinner with Eric’s family (the Powell side), then home for milking, then over to a gathering (for pizza) with the Hogue side of the family.  There was much chatting, but it wasn’t an overly exciting day.
• Friday: all day at the farm.  I worked on grad school and chatted with my MIL.  Eric helped them fix their TV issues and then was bored until we came home.  We got home about 8:30 and enjoyed sleeping in our bed very much!
• Saturday: I wrote a draft of my paper in the morning, then put up Christmas decorations in the afternoon.  My tree is up and most of the rest of my decorations, too.  I still have a few things to do, but it all looks pretty good so far! 
• Sunday: After church, my parents and Karen & Erik came over for dinner.  It was lots of fun!  Then we had a Christmas program rehearsal which was not as fun.  But it can only get better from here, so that’s what I’m betting on.  But if you would like to remember the program (and us) in prayer this week…I’d much appreciate it!
• Today: I do not have classes today.  Yippee!  So I have the day to finish revising my paper for tonight and then to head over for class.  Not that exciting, really, but it must be done.  At least I don’t have to go to CU tomorrow either!
