Happy New Year!! I hope you find 2009 to be a year that is filled with blessings from God. I wanted to post before I go back because I have a feeling that my apartment will either be without power or Internet service. I leave tomorrow very early and I will make it to the DR by 10 at night. It is going to be a long day! Oh well, maybe I will sit by some very interesting people. School starts up again on Tuesday. I am getting really excited to see my kids again. I missed them! They are what is keeping me from being to sad about leaving.

Anyways, here are some highlights of what I have been doing since I posted last. I had so much fun last weekend when I had some very special visitors. It has been so nice to be surrounded by the people who know me best. I could never ask for better friends!




















Kelsey and I did all the things I had been wanting to do in the snow. We went snowmobiling, sledding, made snow angels and a snowman. Kelsey's snow pants were a little big!
























Ha...we were looking for a game in the closet and found some old makeup. So we decide to do each others makeup instead.





























































Well, even though I really don't want to, I should probably go finish packing. Thank you all for helping to make my Christmas break so wonderful! I can't even tell you how great it has been to be home. I have some prayer requests as I go back for the rest of the year. Please pray for safe travels for tomorrow. I would also like you to pray that I stay positive about the time I have in the DR and that God would guide me in the decisions I have to make about my future. I feel so blessed that God has given me this opportunity and I am sure that where ever he leads me to next will be just as rewarding.
