Greetings from our Wilbur winter wonderland. As I sit and type it is snowing outside and the Peanuts Christmas album is playing. I can't remember a Holiday season that I have enjoyed this much.
Lars and I had a wonderful but short trip to the Bay Area for Thanksgiving. We had time to stop by the seminary, say "hi", and get a much needed burrito fix at Mi Pueblo. We also had a short visit with Elizabeth. It was nice to see family and friends again.
Things are in full swing at the church. There is a busy holiday schedule and I am so happy to have a place to work and worship during advent. This Sunday is the children's christmas program which happens during worship. Then caroling at 4pm and a chili feed afterwards. Next Sunday I am doing a sermon with my harp believe it or not. I am going to play a medley and preach in between the pieces. I think it is going to be really neat.
Lars is still looking for a job. There is not much out here but I am confident that something will come up sooner or later.
I got a new robe. The super cool skirt kind that we all said we would get when we get ordained. It just came last week so this is my first Sunday with it. Hopefully it goes over well. It is really feminine and flattering, cut to fit me, and has shiny inserts that show when I walk. Princess!
Finally, Santa brought Lars and I an early gift this year. A new puppy named Milo! He is a mini dauschaund and is very sweet and cute. The cats are still getting used to him and everyone is working on boundaries but he is sure the cutest thing I've seen in awhile.
Hope all is well with everyone, miss you, love you, CONGRATS JAMES!!!!!!!
Love - Heather
