So many things...

I don't have pictures, but at least wanted to update everyone on the last three weeks.

Shelby and I made it to Artesia the 20th of November. Graduation was great! Josh got two awards - one for "1st place" in driving and one for getting the second best "grade" overall. We had a great week with Josh - November 20th through November 29th.

Thanksgiving was interesting...and fun! We were going to spend it with a family from Josh's church, but decided to spend it with some guys from the BP. The Thomas family and the Drake family and us had a microwave Thanksgiving in the breakfast room of the Holiday Inn. :) We really did have a good time and were amazed at how well everything (but the turkey) turned out.

The weekend after Thanksgiving Josh, Shelby and I headed up to Cloudcroft to stay in a cabin in the mountains of NM. It was a great little place and it snowed six inches while we were there! What a nice break from the flatlands of Artesia for Josh.

Monday Shelby and I took off for Dallas. It was a long trek, but went well and we arrived before dinner time. Then Shelby got sick for her first time. :( She has had bumps all over her body and a runny and stuffy nose. Not sure what the bumps are, but she hasn't had a fever and the seem to be going away.

Shelby rolled over by herself for the first time on Tuesday, December 1st. She was on her tummy and rolled over to her back. It was so great! She has done it several times since then, but today she must have forgot how to do it because she just kept fussing while on her tummy.

She is six months old today!!! I'll try to post pictures sometime soon.

Our current plan is to stay in Dallas until after Christmas. Josh and one of the other guys may be able to borrow a car and drive to Dallas on Christmas Eve arriving around 1 or 2 AM. We'd have Christmas Day and Saturday together, then they would drive back on Sunday. Still working out some details, but that is the plan. Fun times!

Still praying our condo will sell soon. We had an offer, but it didn't go through. Josh hopes to go to Sanderson next weekend to check out where we can rent. So much to do in "just" seven weeks! We are all so glad that the time of being apart is almost over. PTL!
