8 Days till Christmas...

It was Andrew's turn today to take down the number....only 8 days left till Christmas. Hooray! We have officially been iced in for the third day in a row. I am actually really enjoying getting alot of cleaning done around here and playing with the boys. Yesterday we got our carpets cleaned. Oh, how I love clean carpet! It is so soft that your feet pretty much melt into it...yum! Anyways, things that are going on with us...... Baby Abigail is growing and growing, today she is 11 1/2 inches long and weighs about a pound, a little bigger than a bag of oreos, double stuffed, of course! Her little kicks are getting alot more forceful these days and actually jar me at times. At night you can see her little kicks and movements now as my belly moves with her body...that is pretty fun to watch! These next two months are the best part of pregnancy...I feel like my energy is back and I am only on occasion still throwing up! Hooray! Only four more months and she will be here! Another thing that is going on with us is we are really praying about and researching other communities to relocate and practice medicine in. We are unsure as to how the contract with Enid will actually end up, if we ever recieve it. We have only been waiting to actually recieve the contract since April. Dustin talked to the CEO of St. Mary's last week and we were very dissapointed that the $150,000 in student loans that they had said they were going to pay they have decided that they are not going to now.....maybe we can still negotiate that, maybe not......It is kind of strange... I feel like we are back to the drawing board again, so to speak. Dustin has contacted a couple more towns that we would be interested in going to: Guthrie, Stillwater, Ponca City....ect. What will the Lord have in store I wonder? Please pray for us as we seek the Lord and what His plans would be for our family in where He would want us to serve in the years ahead. We rejoice and know that He will work all things out for good! We are so thankful for all that He has so abundantly blessed us with this year. What a wonderful time to reflect on the goodness of the Lord for those that love Him......only 8 Days till Christmas!
