We Have Water!

We finally got water Saturday afternoon. It was such a relief after 4 days of no water. Luckily, Dwayne's boss let us borrow 3 7-gallon containers full of water. Dianne was up to visit and very lovingly washed all our dishes for us. I thought that was very nice. We managed to make her some cupcakes and give her a birthday gift since her birthday is today. Friday, I got to take a shower. Dwayne's work has a shower facility since they have a small workout room for employees. I managed to sneak in there and use it. It was great to be clean after 3 days. We also had the ProBuild company Christmas party to go to that night. There was no way I was going to the party without a shower so I was very grateful they let me use it.

The party was kind of quiet and had a desperate feel to it. They lost so many employees this year. It was definately smaller. They did have a few door prizes but not as many as years past. They had maybe 10 prizes total. We did win something though! (Of course, not the things I wanted.) We got a George Foreman quesadilla maker. When they said a George Foreman and then Dwayne's name I groaned. I knew that I would never use the sandwich maker. When he brought it back to our table though and we got to look at it, I got excited. I'll actually use the quesadilla maker. I like quesadillas and they are something the kids will eat but I don't make them too often because I overfill them so much and the filling spills out all over the pan. Now we will be having quesadillas often!

Just to let everyone know, I won't be sending out Christmas cards until after the holidays and we have moved. I was going to send some out because I didn't last year but with the transition to Denver, I've got so much going on right now. Once we get moved and settled in our new home, I will send out a family newsletter and let you guys know what is going on and where we are at.

I probably won't write anything more here on the blog until after we get back from our scouting trip. We leave tomorrow afternoon to take the kids to Talia's who so graciously offered to watch our kids for us while we are gone. We then fly out Wed. morning. We will be back Fri afternoon but have to grab the kids and head home that night. I have to work Sat. morning. Please pray that we find a great place to live and Dwayne gets offered a killer raise.
