Toasty

I would like to introduce you to someone very special to me.

His name is Earl. Earl the owl.

And he's a hot water bottle. He keeps my aches and pains away and warms up my bed before I hop into it. I never knew how much of a wuss I was when it comes to the cold until this winter. Little comforts like Earl the owl make everything a little more bearable.

Things have been good out here in Minnesota. Every day we move one step closer to our big move out east (in case you didn't know, we're moving to Pennsylvania the first week in January). We're excited and expectant and ready to put down some roots. This coming weekend we're hosting a big Christmas party for a bunch of our friends and I'm really looking forward to it. The only problem is that it makes me aware of all the sad goodbyes we'll have to say. We're getting pretty used to transitioning so often, but it doesn't make it much easier. We're also facing some new areas where we'll need to really trust God in. We're once again praying for a place to live, jobs, and possibly a car. Does this sound familiar? We love new opportunities to have our faith tested. It's awesome to see God move in amazing and unexpected ways. Until then, we'll just keep praying and looking on Craigslist.
