Happy Holidays!

December 1, 2007

Well the holiday season has begun and Christmas shopping is here...and again you wonder what to get for who and how much to spend. I love Christmas time, it's my favorite time of the year to be able to watch people open gifts with the look of anticipation on their face. I'm trying not to spend to much. I'm doing pretty well staying in my budget but next year I'm going to open a Christmas savings and save all year so I don't have to cram my budget into 2 months:)

Eric is still working hard as the acting Facilities Director and is enjoying himself. I am enjoying my job as well working 2 12 hour dayshifts in the ICU in Sault Ste. Marie, MI. The kids are enjoying preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade.

The snow has begun up here and the cold weather, today we have about 5 inches of snow on the ground and it's 10 degrees out! Brrrrrrrr! Eric is out 4 wheeling and supposedly looking for a Christmas tree for us...we want to go out on camp property and cut one down with the kids.
Our new director has started, Scot Bale. (Scot was our director when we worked at Cran-Hill Ranch as well). It's still a little strange to have him around, he seems alittle out of place yet but we really enjoy having him here and having an "old" friend around. Monique and the kids are still living in Zeeland and Scot is commuting so pray for them that their house will sell quickly.

We will be traveling to St. Louis for the intervarsity staff conference jan 2-6 and are really looking forward to having time away from camp to spend with eachother and other camp couples to get to know eachother better. Our next prayer letter will be going out soon, please pray for our ministry here at Cedar Campus and that we will continue to be good witnesses to those in the community and for the people that come to camp.
