It’s A Christmas Miracle!!!
Ok, so maybe it isn’t that spectacular, but it kind of feels that way to me. I have gotten so much work done these past two weeks that I don’t feel like I’m super behind and drowning in paperwork. It is extra nice with the college being closed for a week, I don’t have to ruin my vacation worring about what I have to do when I get back!!!! This is so awesome. I will still be really, really busy, but at least it will be with current things and not trying to catch up on things from a month or more ago. This is definately a blessing for me because I’ve been praying about it a lot. I hope when I get back I can keep things on track and moving along.
I thought I would put up this video because my husband is Hawaiian and because it shows somewhere so much warmer than here.

Busy
I am so bad at blogging lately. I have been very busy. I guess just about everyone has been these last few weeks. I hope to blog more soon, of course, I have to figure out something to say too.

Fudge
This year I made some fudge to give as a gift to my husband’s boss. I haven’t had much luck with it in the past because it has usually turned out like chocolate soup. The first batch I made on Sunday didn’t work out very well because I think I over cooked it. It tasted good, but didn’t look very pretty. I tried again last night with some suggestions from my mom and it worked out really well. I hope his boss likes it!

Gingerbread Express
I had mentioned that husband and I went for a train ride on the Gingerbread Express. We had a good time on this little ride.
They decorated the outside of the train.
And lit up the inside of the train also.
Along the way, we stopped and picked up the Gingerbread man.
Then we ended up at the Gingerbread Forrest.

Our First Tree
Here it is! A picture of the tree my husband and I put up for our first Christmas together. I think it is so pretty. It is in our tiny living room, but we can see it perfectly in our bedroom too. I love how the lights sparkle so happily.

Another Hard Week
It has been another hard week for my husband and I. We just keep praying and know we are going to get through everything with God’s help. I can’t understand how anybody can get through life without leaning on God for all things big and small.
On top of what we have been going through, it has been bitter cold around here. Wind chills have been around -30 degrees. I hate the cold! Of course if you know me and/or have read this blog very long you are VERY aware of that. At least I work in an office, my poor husband does construction and has spent his days out in the cold building a house. He loves doing that kind of work and we are blessed to be able to afford some very warm clothes for him to wear.
We did have some good stuff go on also that I will need to post with some pictures. We put up our Christmas tree and took a fun little train ride called the Gingerbread Express. I will try to get that stuff up soon.

I Never
I never got to hold you,
or see your little face.
I nver got to rock you,
or choose your perfect name.
But, I know how much I love you,
and that I always will.
Even though you aren’t with me,
you are my baby still.

Holiday Party
Tonight is the night of the annual holiday party at work. It is something we kind of look forward to around here. Since this is a college they are able to get the choir in to sing Christmas carols and there is good food around. I’m not very sociable, so I don’t normally stay long. This year I just really don’t want to talk to anyone that I haven’t talked to this week already. That cuts the social circle down to about 3 people not related to me.
Even before all that has happened this last week, it hasn’t felt very holiday like around here yet. It IS cold, just not very holiday like. Maybe it is because everybody I know has been as busy as I have and none of us have really had time to notice what time of year it is. I am enjoying listening to Christmas music though, it is usually nice and happy.

Our Precious Baby
These past few days have been very hard. Last Wednesday, my husband and I went in to hear the beat of the little baby heart we saw flickering on the ultrasound screen just a few weeks ago. However, the nurse could not find it. She told us not to worry, it is sometimes hard to find and she had someone else try. The second nurse also heard nothing. Next, the on call doctor that was there on that short staffed day before Thanksgiving did two different ultrasounds. He then had to tell us that there was no heartbeat anymore and that our baby had not grown past 7 weeks (it was now supposed to be grown to 10 weeks).
The news of that miscarriage has broken our hearts completely. We don’t know what happened or if we could have stopped it. I have spent many hours wondering what I did and wishing I could go back and change everything so we would still have our baby with us. I don’t know how we will get through this. But, I do know that GOD knows how to get us through if we put our full faith, belief and trust in Him. I know he has placed our baby in its angel’s arms to sleep until Jesus returns and resurrects it to a perfect, healthy newborn.
Right now, my husband and I are trying to go about our life as normal as we can and keep our minds busy because it is too hard not to. We are thankful to have a family that has been there for us and taken such good care of us during this time.
We loved our baby the first second we saw that pink plus sign on the pregnancy test. We will love our baby always.
Matthew 5:4
Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted.
2 Corinthians 1:3
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
