It is so beautiful there! We need to do a mother/daughter there!

Love to you all.

Christy

I pray you all have a Merry Christmas and a very blessed 2007! As you know, we are headed to Singapore on January 9th. We have signed a 3-year contract and hope to visit every July...? (maybe we can have a mini mother/daughter time??) I love you all and take a part of you with me. COME SEE ME ANYTIME!!

Hey everyone,

I pray you are all enjoying the holidays and that you and your loved ones are doing well. We will leave in an hour or so to head to Lubbock to be with Matt's family. Christmas Day, Luke and I will head to Mom's to have Christmas there. Matt and Colt will have to return to work, and Zeke will come down a day later with his Melissa.

I had the joy of keeping the E-Train for a few days while Leigh went skiing with Matt in Wyoming. What a doll he is! No trouble, and so laid-back. I had Jocelyn with him for a few days. They were quite a pair!

Mom said that Jackie's grandmother has passed away and that she is in Lubbock for the funeral. Hopefully, I will get in touch with her while I am there.

Hope all of you will check in soon.

Love to all!

Hi.  I just tried to put this request on the Glory Girls Web site, 
but something didn't work.  Anyway, I thought maybe you could pass 
this along to everyone easier than I can.  Mom's friend Lynn 
Alexander – all the moms should know her from school – just found out 
that her daughter Courtney has a malignant breast tumor.  Lynn is 
very distraught, of course, and Mom is talking to her now.  Mom just 
asked me to pass this prayer request on to our group so we can start 
praying for Courtney.  She's about 2 years younger than me, I think, 
and I don't know what her spiritual condition is.  I do know she's a 
very successful businesswoman with 2 young children.  Very upsetting.

Hey girls,

Hope all is well with all of you and yours. Deb, I enjoyed visiting with you on the phone. I look forward to working with you and George on the building..hope his new job is going well.

Matt and I celebrated our 22nd wedding anniversary on Friday, October 6th. On Thursday night, we celebrated with our kids and the girls. Zeke brought Melissa, whom he has unofficially asked to marry him. They are planning to marry in the summer of '08, which sounds like a way off, but, I know will get here sooner than we think. They want to marry before she starts Physical Therapy school. We are thrilled with her and think she is sweet and gorgeous.

On Friday, we left all the kids and drove to Miles to meet mom for supper at my favorite Mexican restaurant...I highly recommend the green chile enchiladas! Afterwards, we went to my high school Homecoming with my four best girlfriends from school. We didn't win, but, it turned out to be a great game. My cousin Leland's daughter Shay was a Homecoming duchess. Ironically, her grandmother (my Aunt Dixie) was Lake View's very first Homecoming Queen, 50 years to the day that Shay was a duchess. She didn't win, but looked beautiful. I took her a charm I had been given when I was Lake View HC duchess in 1980...she hooked it to her earring. After the game, we went over to Stacy's house to visit and stayed out til 1:30 a.m.!!! I NEVER get to do that anymore! I was thankful I got to sleep late Saturday morning.

On Saturday, mom and I played with Justice and Sloan, then traveled out to Big Lake to see Dennis. He has been moved there, as Tom Green was overcrowded. He was in good spirits...said the food is much better there and that they have cable movies. He is pretty bored and would love to get some letters from anyone.

Sunday was a special day for mom and I. I went to her Sunday school class at Trinity, which was wonderful. That church has the nicest group of ladies...so welcoming and glad that you're there. They LOVE mom and think she is the greatest teacher ever. I have to admit, I'm pretty impressed with her Biblical knowledge. All of her studying pays off. I saw Gay and Yvette, *who is teaching Children's Church during worship hour in Granny Cox's old Sunday school classroom. Amazing! During worship, I sang "El Shaddai." The pastor gave an awesome sermon...he is very joyful and I can tell he is trying to light a Fire within those old people. After I sang, he asked me to come up and help him serve Communion, which I had never done before. It was very humbling. It was a great day!
Matt and I traveled back home after lunch...we had picked up a little truck that Colt is going to buy from Walt's on Saturday, and were anxious to take it to him. He loved it, of course.

Well, that's my weekend...I hope to hear from someone else on this blog..Let me know if you are having trouble figuring out how to post, and I'll walk you through it.!

Love to all!
Christy

Hey girls,

Thanks so much for all the prayers that were sent up on behalf of Colt and us. We are fairly sure it was a combination of poison ivy (inside and out), his treatments for it, and maybe a stomach virus that was going around. He came home on Tuesday and is feeling much better. I'm having to sit on him to keep him down now. He is wanting to go back to school.

He has some of his songs on the internet. You can hear them at

For anyone who doesn't have a cd, you can listen to some of Zeke's music at

Love to you all and thanks again!

Hi Everyone, isn't this a wonderful idea of Christy's for us to keep in touch personally.Honey y0u have done such an awesome job setting this up. I love all of it except for the "one picture". Ha. I have good news from my part of the country tonight. Dennis went to court today and received the lightest sentence possible in his case, which is two years. Since he has done most of that already and will receive more credit for time served here, he may have just a couple of more months before he will be out for good. God's hand has been mighty in all of this, so I just ask you to keep praying for his future....that he will be obedient and follow God's leading in setting up a new life for himself. I taught at the jail tonight and had such sweet response from a good group of girls. Can't believe I am getting to do something that "feels" so meaningful. Our weekend was wonderful as always, I enjoyed my first "full" day at the beach ever. Thank all of you so much for loving me and humoring me in my stories and tales. I love you all very very much.
