Hey everyone<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just thought of something. Isn’t it ironic that I changed my comments to be through Facebook when I have since deactivated my own account?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Funny. I may have to change all that. I’ll see if I can find anything else.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas was already 2 days ago. That is amazing. It is true what they say: the older you get, the faster time seems to speed up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Christmas was good. I got some Holy Land items that I wanted and a couple of polo shirts. Maryia received jewelry and movies. My parents received a mix of what everyone else received (clothing, stuffed animals, jewelry, etc.). We had a good time. It was quiet– but I think we were able to relax even if only for a little while.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, New Year’s is right around the corner. Yikes!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish I had heard from more friends this holiday season. I don’t think half the people I contacted even got back to me. It was kinda sad. Even my brother didn’t text me- but his excuse is probably valid (no cell service at home).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well, I suppose that’s it. I will try to look into the comment thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Please pray for Emily as she has an interview with a potential employer today at 3 pm. So if you want to say a little something to the big guy… \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My job outlook has been a little gloomy, but it IS the holidays, and I think that most places will start the process after the first of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

just Pray.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
