Today's the day! The sun is shining, some snow has fallen, and it's Ben's birthday! And guess what he got??? A mac mini!!! He's so excited! Our presents keep getting more and more elaborate as the years pass, and I can tell Daddy enjoys getting us the 'electronics' as we learn to appreciate them. Daddy was disappointed he couldn't be here when Ben opened his presents this morning, but he had to go to a meeting two hours away.... :( But at least he'll be here later today! And grandma's coming out tomorrow! She was supposed to come today, but when we heard the forecast, we decided to have her come out tomorrow, because we don't want her driving in the snow in the mountains.

I've been busy recently (like always!), and this blog has fallen to the bottom of my 'to do' list. But I figured I've left all of you (if anyone reads this, that is :P) out of my life for long enough, and decided to sit down and write something. We've started a Bible study with the young ladies in our church since I last posted, and have had three already! They are so encouraging, and I'm so excited that we can actually lead one for all our younger sisters in Christ. We have our next one tomorrow night, and I can't wait for it, because the Thomsen's are coming out to help us with it! They used to have a Bible study for us when we were younger, but then they had to move away. We really miss them. But they are coming back to visit, and I can't wait to see them! They are so strong in the Lord, and are always so encouraging. I only wish they could stay longer :).
