Our advent calendar


So, this is the little masterpiece I made on Saturday with my buddy Becky across from me in the craft room.


I have a special note in each day's box that is a pseudo-date type thing for us to do together. (I might add here that Sheldon did not think putting up the Christmas stuff was anything like a date on December 1!) Some include little gift certificates for ice cream for us or a trip down to see the lights or taking Bailey on a walk together. Some of the ideas came from Bex and others came from things Sheldon has mentioned that he would like for us to do together - so, for the countdown to Christmas we are having a mini and inexpensive date together.


We are so blessed to even be together this year as we were seperated last year at this time. God is faithful! We are thrilled to get to celebrate the birth of our Savior together in just 24 days. If you are one of the "saints" that prayed for us, THANK YOU!

That's cute! I am so happy that you guys made it through that year and are still together. I was praying and I'm so blessed that you stuck it out and allowed God to work in you. You guys make a great pair, and I'm really happy that the enemy wasn't successful!

Ha ha, Becky. When I saw this picture I thought, "Oh, there goes Becky's mysteriousness with hers." It's very cute.

I'm so happy that you guys are doing better and things are working out for the good. I prayed for you, my friend.
