A white Christmas

It looks as though the snow managed to stay on the ground in Virginia long enough to have a white Christmas. I thought I would take a brief break from working with lisp, and poof, blogging came to mind.... except there still isn't much about which to blog. I'm heading home for the New Years, because all the brothers and sisters will be home at that time. I may be going out with some friends on the first. If enough people are coming, it looks like we'll be taking my mom's van so everyone can be in the same vehicle.

Today sometime, my mom and I will be going outside again and we're going to clean off Jesse's car because Mom my be driving it home. The new car Jesse and Charlessa bought passed the inspection test and the emissions test, so we'll be taking the older car to PA to sell or fix or something. I don't actually know what the plans are.

One of the job possibilities for Florida is working at rtsco again. While I think I would enjoy working there again, I'm going to try for another job first that with a bigger corporation, because it would be far too easy for me to work in a familiar, mostly unchanging situation. At least with a larger company, there are more people and it would be easier to get involved with the wider world.

Hanging out at the house

My brother and wife are out visiting their family for Christmas, so it is just me at the house this year... almost. My mom came down to enjoy some of the famous warm Virginian weather. So far, we've gotten a foot and a half of snow, below freezing temperatures, and a lot of slippery ice when walking. It didn't quite work out, but we're staying warm inside the house.

We're listening to some Andrew Wommack audio teachings. He is covering the power of the Holy Spirit and the indwelling that exists and is available for all of us. It is quite encouraging and just makes a person feel like reading the Bible more and getting to know God better.

I may be moving soon. A few thinks have opened up in Florida, and I think I may be heading that direction. I don't quite know how I feel about it. I would like to go to Florida, but it is so far away from family, it is going to cut down on the time I see them.

Thanksgiving

Woo! I just had a blast being home for Thanksgiving. I was home almost two weeks, and during Thanksgiving week, all my siblings, nieces, and nephews were together. I think we all overlapped for two days. Keeping track and entertaining young children was a full time projects, but between the seven of us, we managed to keep the four kids entertained.

I'm ready to go to bed though, but my mom was supposed to call. I think I'll just keep the phone by my bed and hopefully I'll hear it when she calls from California - she's visiting her family out West.

And somewhere I have pictures, I'll try to remember to post them next time I sort through them.
