What a wonderful way to end 2011 and begin 2012. We had a wonderful Christmas with both my side and Josh's side of the family. We began our festivities the weekend before Christmas at my parents house. We spent a couple of days with them and Rylee got to see her Kailie and Carson (whom she talks about all the time). We came home with lots of goodies. Then on Christmas morning we woke up and read the Christmas story from Luke, unwrapped presents, ate breakfast and then had a wonderful service worshiping and praising our Lord. After church we headed on the road of an 8 hour trip to Josh's family. We had a wonderful visit there as well. Rylee loved playing dress-up with Hannah and playing in the tent with Bradyn. We left to come home on Thursday. On our way home we stopped at Bass Pro Shop for Josh to get the rest of his hunting gear for his Elk hunting trip later on this year with his dad and our brother-in-law. Rylee always likes going in there to see all the animals. He had to do a return at Lowe's(Jeffersonville, IN) and we got to Waddy, KY and he realized he had left his driver's license at Lowe's. :( He is going to replace them today.
We got home and got everything unpacked and on Friday some of our good friends from Cynthiana, Ky came down and visited us. We had a wonderful visit with them and they took us to supper at Pine Mountain State Park Lodge. We had some yummy ribeye steak, shrimp and potatoes.
For New Year's my mom and dad came up. We enjoyed a wonderful weekend with them. They even got some grandma and papa time in while Josh and I went out painting the town on Saturday night with some church friends. :)
To the end my post for today I wanted to kind of recap my year of 2011.
January- Josh and I found out we were going to be welcoming a new baby in our family.
April- I quit my job at TSC and started working for Sonshine House Preschool and Daycare (Loved it)
Rylee turned 2.
May- Found out that we would be having a little boy
June- Josh got promoted to Sergent at the prison
July- We enjoyed a wonderful week at Clifty Falls State Park camping in the hottest days of the summer
August- Lost one of my best friends my Fuffie(mom's mom) What a sad time in my life.
September- Josh had a trial sermon at Loyall Church of Christ and everything went well and he ended up being hired to preach there.
October- We had a son, Caleb James. 8lbs 8.5 oz. 21 inches long. Rylee just adores him.
November- Moved to Loyall, Ky (Harlan County) and we love it here.
December- Celebrated Christmas with both sides of the family
Well as I bring this post to an end I need to finish putting my decorations away so Josh can take them to the basement. I will post pictures later, Josh needs to work on his sermon and lessons. Have a great day everyone. And Happy New Year.
