update

Thanksgiving with my mom's side was good. Lots of family and fun time. Marcus and I hovered under the radar on the actual holiday and made our own feast.

We've been doing Christmas shopping and have just a few more people to buy for. I'm one of those people who prefer online shopping, so the people that deliver mail are getting to know me on a first name basis. Maybe that's not a good sign, but I love the flexibility!

Marcus and I splurged on new running shoes. Our new beloved brand is New Balance. Hopefully we'll start to balance out the money that been electronically deducted from our bank account by going to the YMCA more frequently in the near future.

Our dog is a maniac. He has super freak tendencies where he bites anything, charges full speed around the house, chases his tails, and arguably barks louder than any other dog. I treasure the calm and sweet moments that occasionally happen. He's still really adorable, that helps too.

Marcus' car is an pretty funny topic. He drives it diligently even though he has to cover himself with a big towel because it leaks melted snow. Also the bottom is rusted out, so he has to worry about potentially falling though and getting his butt burned by the pavement. It keeps starting though, and hopefully God will open up a door to a good deal.

God's been really good to us though, and we've been learning a lot through this class we've been going to on Wednesday evenings.

Enjoy the last month of 2008!
