Searching and Planning

Future

I wish I could give the news that Chris finally got a job and we are moving, but unfortunately we won't know until later this week if they have made their official decision and then we can make the preparations to move. I've already done some simple apartment searching but don't want to do anything to serious until we know for sure. I've already spent one sleepless night worrying over what will come in the next week that I need to relax and let the Lord guide us where we are supposed to be.

Claire

She is getting more and more talkative and started making new talking sounds that is just way to cute especially when she fake talks on the phone. I love how she is getting so smart and will come up to me to grab my leg and take me to what she wants. She reaches for things when we hold her to tell us where to go and has learned to say hi and wave goodbye. She turned 15 months this past week and got some more immunization shots, but she was so brave and barely cried out. There weren't even any tears afterward and wanted her band aids off the very next day because they apparently didn't belong on her leg. We also got another peek at her little sister who was covering her face but is growing really well and still due the beginning of March.

Thanksgiving plans

We plan to be up in Montana for Thanksgiving this year with my side of the family who hasn't got enough Grandpa and Nana time recently. I'm very excited to visit them, especially since we are going to be there for about 4 days and Nana won't have to work at all during that time! We get to travel up there with my brother and his fiance, spend a day baking pies and Christmas sweets, have a traditional Thanksgiving feast, see movies, decorate, play games, and get all the holiday cheer I can stand. I keep thinking how great it is that they live closer than Missouri and we get to see them more often, even if I still think it's not enough.

Reading

We are well into Alma and working our way through all the great missionary work and soon to be wars that will happen. I'm a few chapters ahead of schedule even just in case this week becomes too busy with the holidays to finish what needs to be done every day. It is still weird to be in two parts of Alma and trying to keep it straight when reading with Chris because of all the wars that do happen. Keep up the good work ladies!

P.S.

Sorry I was bad at taking pictures this week...there will be plenty coming next week because of the holidays!
