And a Happy New Year!

This new Year's Eve, Matt and I went to work in the Admissions Office like any other day. Then, we came home at 3:30 and took a nap. Haha. :) We were trying to prepare (although I feel it was a hopeless effort) for the Calvary teen All-Nighter!!
So, we will welcome in the new year playing laser tag and trampoline dodgeball!
We've been so blessed by God throughout the year (as in all other years before)-- and we are never as thankful as we should be. Tomorrow afternoon (after we've awoken from our recovery sleep), we are going to go through our "Blessings Jar" that we started last year around this time.

In recent news, we found a kitty. Or rather, he found us. We had just gotten back home from our Thanksgiving trip to Pennsylvania to see the family. I was unpacking in our room, and Matt was reading for one of his classes. I heard a strange noise and naturally, I assumed it was my stomach. Haha :) Then I heard a noise again, and Matt said, "Wow- Did you hear my stomach?" Then, we heard it again, but this time it was a definite "meow!" It sounded like it was coming from the corner of our bedroom. How did a cat get in our room?

Well, it so happened that a little kitten was stuck under our house. He had gotten in through a hole and somehow managed to get under the old stairs in our basement. It took 2 days to get him to come out, through much coaxing, prodding, and turkey (it was the only food we had in our house!). Thus, we named him Turkey.

He has assimilated nicely into our family. Lanta and he are even friends. :) Happy New Year's Eve!
