Aaron and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving! It started out with me saying goodbye to my old job and all my students and the teachers. That was a little sad for me. I'm looking forward to going back to test there though! Wednesday Aaron and I headed for Illinois to be with his family. Thanksgiving was nice and relaxing and we spent some time with the Zehr side of the family. On Friday Aaron and I went shopping but we didn't go crazy early like we did last year. We went around 8:00. It was still crazy though!
People were everywhere! That night I went to a baby shower for Aaron's cousin with his mom and sister. Saturday we spent all day with the Rocke side for "Thanksmas". Everyone in the family was able to make it so it was a big crowd! Sunday morning we woke up to lots of snow! We didn't really get any snow in Vincennes last year so it was a nice treat for me! After church we had lunch and celebrated Aaron's mom's birthday, since we won't be around for it. We had a very relaxing weekend and it was nice to get away for awhile.
Update on the new job! I started on Monday. I haven't really done too much yet because I'm still being trained. I've watched a couple tests being given and I got to do some observations by myself. I wish I already knew how to do everything because I'm ready to get busy! I've been sitting around a lot the past two days and I've had enough of that. I'm so used to moving constantly being in the special ed. room. Now I don't have any crazy kids to run after! :)
Aaron and I did our Christmas on the Saturday before. We decided to just do stocking stuffers this year and get our dining room table refinished. We had a fire in the fireplace and drank our chai. It was a very relaxing morning. To top it all off we went to Denny's for breakfast/lunch.
Last night we had our 2nd annual Formal Dinner Fundraiser. Last year the leaders made the food but this year we had it catered so that was a blessing to me! The night went smoothly. We had a lot of students there to help and we had 82 people attend! After dessert we had a barbershop group sing some Christmas songs. It was a wonderful evening and I think the church people really enjoyed it.
Last weekend was very full for Aaron and me. Friday night we drove up to Indy for a pastor's and spouse Christmas dinner for all the pastors in our conference. After that we spent the night
with Angela and Jackie, some friends from college, who now live in Indy. It was so good to see them again! I miss them so much! We drove home Saturday afternoon and then prepared food the rest of the day. That night my parents stopped to see us on their way home from Tennessee. 
They went down with some friends. They spent the night and went with us to church on Sunday. We had lunch with them and then they took off. That afternoon we prepared more food because that night we had our adult leaders over for a Christmas dinner. They do alot for us and we really appreciate the help!
