So, I'd really like to be better at this blogging thing. I just don't have the time that I want to have... Many things have happened since December 24th. On December 25th we acquired a dog! People laugh when I say "acquired," but it is true. We really did acquire him. He showed up at my parents house with a coon dog. The coon dog had a gold plated tag on and had an owner looking desperately for this dog worth $6000!! Our newly acquired dog was a stray with a puppy collar still on. The neighbors had seen him wandering for about 3 months! I don't know how you could let this wander!!!
:) That's Kodiak - better known as Kodi. He was our Christmas present! We looked for lost dog signs for about a week and found nothing. We think it was meant to be. Now he is an inside outside dog. We think he definitely has some border collie in him, but he's big, so maybe some lab or golden retriever. He is about 1 year old now. He is so sweet though and very gentle. We have since discovered he is not fond of bald men. He gets pretty bent out of shape. He's just great for us!
We have also spent a little time out at Halsell Hill. My grandmother continues to fight ovarian cancer. We have had some wonderful visits though. My grandfather and she continue to work as a team to make it through each day along with the family's help on the weekends. These are a few pictures from a recent visit:

Ross also has a new job. He is working for Encompass Home Health. The Lord has been merciful and sweet to us in so many ways. Ross is loving his new job. He is still in the orientation phase, but is liking visiting with one patient at a time and having some time in his car. There is much more responsibility in home health, but Ross is up for the challenge!
I am still at Cook Children's. I am enjoying my job so much and looking foward to when a Child Life Specialist position opens up. God has blessed us so much with jobs and family. We are so thankful for all that He provides.
We are being discipled by a wonderful couple that leads our small group and have been reading Sacred Marriage with them. It has been a sweet journey. We finish up next week. The Lord has truly engrained in us that marriage is not about us but ALL about Him! It has been beautiful and fresh. I am also reading Sacred Influence with a dear sister from afar. It has been a blessing. I strongly recommend Gary Thomas' books. They are chalked full of great teachings of the Lord.
We love you all and pray that the Lord is sweetly blessing each of you as Valentine's Day approaches!
Here are a few more pics of our Kodi!
