The last part of my Christmas break was excellent! Ashley
came up to Minnesota
after her foot surgery and we got to spend an afternoon with my grandparents.
We went out to lunch and I fixed up my Grandmas computer. It was great seeing
them before I headed back.

The night before I left, the Cross's came over and hung out
with us for the evening. We ate pizza, talked, and played Rock Band. Rock band
is a video game that you play fake instruments to. It is really fun and
everyone got a good laugh out of it. It was awesome seeing Mike and Jolyne and
talking to them about the internship.

Ashley and I left Minneapolis
last night around 6pm and landed in Atlanta
around 10pm. The worst part of the whole thing is that we had to wait for Ems' flight to land but it got delayed, so we were at the
airport until 2am! I finally got some shut eye around 4am and arrived at work
at 11am! So I am back in Gainesville,
in the office working. It was great seeing everyone in Minnesota and being encouraged to keep doing
what I am doing. The Lord really helped me to stay strong and be a good example
around my siblings. Thank you for your prayer and support!
