Shawn and I spent our first Christmas married at home here in Allen. Christmas eve we spent at Shawn's brother Scott's house- they had a Christmas eve open house for all their friends, and Santa also showed up that night and gave each child a gift. We woke up Christmas morning and opened our gifts to each other, then headed over to Scott and Amy's house to spend Christmas day with them. At the request of our niece Juliana, we took Tozer with us as well. He did very well and enjoyed playing with their dog- Neuman.
The Day after Christmas, Shawn and I headed to Gonzales, to help out at Eternal Awakenings and to minister at Living Waters Fellowship. On our way there, we stopped in Willis to see my parents new home by the lake. We were able to have a holiday dinner with them and spend some time seeing the house before heading over to Gonzales. In Gonzales, we stayed at the historic St. James Inn bed and breakfast. We worked at EA on Saturday and Sunday. Sunday night, Shawn gave his testimony at the church, and Emily helped out with praise and worship all weekend. It was really a blessing to be able to minister there and to catch up with Jim and Karla and everyone else serving under their ministry. We took Tozer with us, and he did very well, and very much enjoyed all the extra attention from the folks at EA.
For New Years, Shawn and I headed over to Scott and Amy's to celebrate, where they had a few friends over. We had a great time, and headed back to our apartment around 10pm to watch the ball drop on TV.
Overall, we had a great holiday and we are looking forward to getting back on our regular schedules. We hope you all had a great holiday as well. I'll leave you with a few pictures from the past couple weeks. God Bless, Emily
