Our New House

December 7, 2007 we closed on our new house. Things are finally getting settled. I will have to post some new pictures once things get a little more decorated! We are thankful to be 2 minutes from church!!!

Valentine Banquet

Our youth group planned and served for the Valentine banquet. It was "An Evening of Southern Charm" -- complete with Dixie :). It went really well and the teens did a GREAT job! We are definitely thankful for a great group of kids to work with and great parents, too!

A new month is here...

January has come and gone. Still no new pictures. Perhaps they will come soon. We had a wonderful trip to Gatlinburg with the Burrows and Wilsons, and since our mini-vacation we have hit the ground running. The new year is off to a busy but very good start. One of my favorite new "activities" is our teen girls' Bible study, held on Tuesday evenings twice a month at our house. I love our girls and am so thankful for them. The senior girls are leading us through a study from the beatitudes in Matthew 5. It has been a wonderful challenge to my heart as we have begun the study. We took the teens ice skating last weekend. I managed to stay off the ice to take pictures. One of these days I need to learn, but not with 80 people (lots of small kids) on the ice. Dan has taken over the responsibility of leading the choir at church. I miss it in some ways, but in other ways, I am so thankful he is doing it! We work together in the music, and it is so much fun. My piano schedule is back in full force, and it looks like I have new students lined up for the fall, so there is definitely plenty to be done. I am almost ready to go through the "organize my piano music" process. We have a filing cabinet. Now we just need to get the music organized and into the cabinet.
This week will be fun. The Valentine banquet for church is Friday night. The teens are responsible for it all, so we will be busy. I am making cheesecakes and doing a few other things! I must go for now. Hopefully we can get some new pictures up soon!

Christmas, Moving and Vacation

We had an interesting Christmas Break ... it began and ended with moving! We squeezed a trip to Ohio in and a vacation to TN. It was a fabulous Christmas with Dan's family. Thankfully his mom was able to be home from the hospital (she had emergency surgery the Friday before) and it was so good to be with all of them. We came home last Friday, moved some stuff, and then Sunday night after church headed to Atlanta for the Chickfila bowl. Unfortunately Clemson lost, but we had a LOT OF FUN with the whole Campbell clan, including Grammie. We came home after the game, celebrating the new year in the car. New years day was more moving and dinner with Grammie. We headed out on Wednesday for TN...and we are having such a relaxing time with Matt and Rach and Josh and Elizabeth. Hopefully pics to come soon!

Merry Christmas

This blog is not updated frequently, although I am hoping to improve on that this coming year!

We want to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. What a wonderful time of year it is as we reflect upon the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ!

Please enjoy this picture of our "tree"...since we are in the midst of moving we did not put up a tree this year. We are looking forward to getting settled soon. We are spending Christmas in Ohio with our family and are very excited about that! So much going on ... so much fun!
