Christmas, New Years, and World Peace

So I haven't written anything since we were still living in Meridian and now my life has sort of slowed down so I can actually sit and write a bloggeroo! We moved to Lake Charles on December 10th with lots and lots of help from Grady and Scotty who had to put up with me being super bossy making them move couches and other large pieces of furniture to 10 different places before I liked it and setting up bedroom sets only to have me say "actually can you move it to the bedroom by the laundry room?" They were great sports and I was SO SO SO SO appreciative of their super hard work! Everyone give a hand clap to Grady and Scotty!! So the 10th was a Friday and I was all unpacked by Tuesday (I'm awesome, I know) but almost nothing has been hung on the walls to this day...I am still pondering where I want everything so give me a break people! On the 21st of December we flew to my sacred homeland of Indiana, the greatest state in the union in my humble opinion, and had a fantastic Christmas with our wonderful family and friends! I could go into details about every person we saw and everything we did, but we saw so many people and did so many things it would take all day! Just know we had a fantastic time with everyone doing everything!! =) We were set to leave on the 29th, but due to Chicago's terrible weather our flight got delayed for 2 days. That was the suckiest part of the whole trip! I was of course so glad to have a few extra days with family but I was also so ready to get back to my new home! AND to make matters SO much WORSE (you like my capitals for emphasis?) Steven, Tracy, Sarah, and Savannah were supposed to come into town on the 30th to spend the weekend and New Year with us! They still came on New Years Eve, but we didn't get into Lake Charles until almost 1am New Years Day! What a fantastic way to spend the New Year! NOT! So we only had all day Saturday and half a day Sunday with them! It was sad city! And Cliff didn't even get any Sunday with them because he got the stomach virus! WHAT!?!?! I know...craziest few weeks EVER! Then on the 3rd we started a church wide 21 days fast and it really was so spiritually beneficial and wonderful, but it ended this last Sunday and I went immediately to Outback and scarfed down an 8oz steak like I had been starving my whole life! It. Was. Delicious. On this past Friday we went to Houston which is about 2 hours away to go to Tauren Wells and Brittany Macey's wedding! It was an absolutely beautiful wedding and I am so happy for them! They both sang in our wedding and were not together at the time so I think it is so fun that they ended up marrying each other! I love weddings! Another fantastic thing was that I got to see Holly!! Her hubby was a groomsman. I have missed her so much so that was a nice and extremely rare treat! That is literally everything that has happened the last few weeks! Shew...my hands hurt from all this typing! =) And for those wondering, we LOVE Livingway Church and the city of Lake Charles! The people have been such a blessing to us and have made us so welcome! We really couldn't ask for more! I shall return to blogging more regularly now so everyone can be so excited!

PS. My grandma has been very sick lately and was in the hospital this past week! She has been released and is doing much, much better but still keep her in your prayers! Also I need a job like yesterday so pray that one of the places I have applied at calls me asap! Thanks thanks thanks!!
