From Thanksgiving . . . and BEYOND!!!

I know I haven't posted for a while, so before I pour my heart out to you about God's goodness to me, I'll give a general run down of the last couple of months.

Thanksgiving came and went.  We spent the day with the Mihich family and then ended up at the Wentzs.  What a fun day!

Then in December we had the pleasure of having my brother, Eric Drabenstot, here with us for almost 2 weeks. He had just gotten home from Iraq and we all really enjoyed our time with him. We also got to see his wife for a couple of days.  She is Korean and had been in Korea for the latter part of his deployment and had been spending some time with her family.  We are so happy that now they are together since Eric is stationed in Texas.  We had some good times while Eric was home.

We got A LOT of snow.  Eric really enjoyed doing donuts.  I, however, am not such a big fan of them.

Eric left around the middle of the month.  Our next big thing, was Christmas.  We had a very lovely Christmas this year.  We didn't have a lot of presents, but I think quality is better than quantity. :) We spent the entire day at home as a family.  It was really nice.  We ate, opened gifts, played games together and watched Toy Story 3.  I think I speak for all of us, when I say, we had a very good time.

We also enjoyed good food and family bonding at Aunt Audrey's celebrating Christmas.  We swapped stories of Christmas memories.  It was very special.  I enjoyed hearing some of the memories that my grandparents and those older than me shared about their past Christmases.

I always enjoy time off of school.  Sometimes my brain feels overloaded and I just become mentally exhausted.  I ended Christmas break with house-sitting for the Wentzs.  As usual, I can't take myself anywhere.  Only a day after they left, I proceeded to fall down the stairs and injure myself. lol
But I really enjoyed getting to spend some time feeling "independent".  :)

And then . . . . <drum roll please>

School resumed . . . to be continued
