Teco cuddling up with Paul on the couch... It didn't take long before She was taking both Pual and Connie for walks! What a great pup!
Christmas 2008
This was my first Christmas away from my family… ever! It was difficult to know that they were all together celebrating the birth of Christ and enjoying great fellowship without Autumn and me. However, God has truly blessed me with wonderful in-laws who have taken me in as part of their family (if you can’t believe that!).
We spent Christmas in Birmingham, AL with the Schweigert crew. Autumn's sister, Christy, recently returned from a six-month adventure in Romania with Heifer International where she lived in a village and worked with sheep farmers. She had all sorts of exciting stories to tell us.
We also took Teco with us. I was a little worried because the Schweigerts are definitely cat people. But Teco didn’t let me down. She jumped right up on the couch with Paul and gave him some TLC that he couldn’t resist. After that she had Paul wrapped around her finger. Paul and Connie even dog sat for us one night and took her on walks and everything. I’m sure Teco enjoyed all the extra attention she received!
Christy returned to Texas with us to spend a week in Longview before she hitches a ride with a friend back to Wheaton for her final semester. It’s a joy to have her here. Autumn has to work all day, so Christy is left in my care and she puts up with me fine. She even went flying with me today. Unfortunately she has a little trouble flying and she got a little sick. But she is trooper and I will quote her as saying, ‘it’s great fun right up until I get sick!’ She even said she’d go up again with me tomorrow so she can ‘kick this bad habit (of getting sick).’
That’s what’s happening down in Texas. We are still in the process of applying to AIM Air. Nothing exciting to report, except a bunch of paper work… We will keep you posted though.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!
