Well, December is quickly coming to a close.
Lisa and I have kept incredibly busy throughout this holiday season, and had a great time through it all. Tonight we close out our Christmas season with a celebration with her grandparents from Greenville (Our wedding was held at their house). That brings our Christmas celebration total to 4 events. We celebrated with my family last Tuesday. Wednesday was Christmas for Lisa and I at our apartment. Saturday we celebrated with her grandparents and family in Hastings, Michigan.
Lisa and I "adopted" one of the "100 Neediest Cases" from the local paper this year for Christmas. So we gathered a list of items we wanted to give to Robert H (our elderly adoptee - case number 56) and went shopping. We bought him all sorts of great stuff that he wanted and Lisa did a fabulous job wrapping it all. We took it all down to the local shelter for him on the 17th, and we know that it made his Christmas very memorable. Hopefully, it also helped him to realize that he is not forgotten, and that there are people who are out their that want to help him. It was a real blessing to us, and we know it was for him as well.
On the musical front, we were all given a great gift last week at practice. Michael told us that Deke had informed him and Robert that the contract negotiations between the recording company and the production company are complete and the contract has been agreed upon. We hope to actually sign the contracts in the next few weeks. (It's hard to know the timeline of these things, especially surrounding the holidays.) God continues to bless us all in our efforts to pursue His will for each of us.
All in all, it has been a wonderful Holiday Season.
It's nice to have someone to share these times with.
It's even better to get to go home with them and talk about it all again later.
This year God gave me a wife, relatively good health and a new full-time job.
Oh, what joys and treasures will come my way in the new year?!?!
How will God bless me in the future?
Stay tuned as I stand amazed at the outpouring of His mercy and grace!
I will readily admit to being more than conspicuously absent on this site recently.
I've just been lazy and haven't been posting anything.
I chose to post today just to let you know that all is well.
Lisa and I are becoming quite comfortable in our apartment, which Lisa has begun to decorate and make feel more like a home. I realize that there is always an adjustment period, but I already feel totally at home with Lisa around all the time. Yes, we are still in the honeymoon phase where everything is great and wonderful. Personally, I want to keep it that way.
With the holidays coming upon us rapidly, I expect to be quite busy through the end of the year. I think we will be doing Thanksgiving with the Walker side of the family and then travelling to Greenville to enjoy some time with the Bonney side of her family. For Christmas, details are much harder to come by at this point. We know we will celebrate with her parents at some point, and we know we will do the same with my family. However, we are not sure of the timing of all of these things, as we do plan on going to Michigan for the Brail family Christmas celebration again this year. So we will be travelling a bit in the coming months.
Regarding the musical:
Well, "The Isle of Dreams" is still in full swing. We are still rehearsing every Friday, and we are still awaiting further news from both the record company and our production company. Progress has been made in the contract negotiations, and we feel as if we are a breath away from actually getting the contract finalized. Of course, we always hope for such news every Friday. but this week there is more of a sense of anticipation on my end than there normally is. Maybe tonight we will hear some great news. Or maybe we will wait another week. Either way, it is good that things are still moving in a positive direction.
