God is so amazing!

Happy Thanksgiving! Well it's been a busy couple of weeks, and some really great news! Eli officially has a job doing night security! Yeah!!! Answered prayer #1! He starts on Monday for his training week, but then he can make it as much part time or full time that he wants. So good. He does however have to shave the facial hair which is going to be interesting, but hey, it's a good job! Our answered prayer #2...there is a guy who wants to buy our condo in January if it's still up for sale!! Yeah!! And to top it off, there are actually 2 or 3 other people interested in it as well! Isn't it amazing how God doesn't just supply, but seems to go above and beyond what we need. It's been so great realizing how faithful He really is. I always knew God was going to provide for us, but sometimes I feel like I need to be doing something more, or I'm doing something wrong if things aren't going exactly as planned. Which is totally wrong. I believe God will always  provide for me and my family, it just might not be in the time or way or thing I think I need.

For Thanksgiving we went over to Matt and Kelly's house. It was great! I made fruit salad, mashed potatoes, roasted asparagus, veggie tray, relish tray, cranberry sauce and brought a pumpkin pie and some crescent rolls. Matt cooked the turkey and Kelly made sweet potatoes, another fruit salad, stuffing, gravy, steamed cheesy broccoli with cauliflower, and an apple pie. It was a great meal. There were other friends that joined us too. It was one big happy family. And tonight we went over again for a left over dinner which was just as good as last night. We are so blessed to have friends like them here. Oh and the kids played ALL day! Zayin was exhausted when we got home, and Zoe was out of it too. What a great day!! Then Kelly and I got up this morning to go Black Friday shopping. Yep. 3am this morning. It was fun and we got some great things. Back at the house by about 7:30am and decided to take Zayin to a couple more stores because Eli and Zoe were still asleep. We had fun too!

I think this might be a short one, just because I'm so tired, but I will try to do another soon! Megan and Isaac and Hannah are visiting in the morning and we are sooooo excited! But that means I need to clean and be ready to cook in the morning, so off to bed for me. Night night!
Love all y'alls!
