December 2008
Well I'm not sure where November went. Or really, where the semester has gone, but we are oh so excited to see it ending! We're anxious to see family and friends while we're home during Winter Break and we're MORE than ready to get out of Iowa for a bit! It's going to be so nice to disconnect from work and school.
October eventually ended, thanksfully! Weekend trips, Homecoming, staff retreat, and a regional conference consumed all of my time that month. The weekend trips were great. We got to see family and visit Minneapolis for a concert. Homecoming came and went. The staff retreat was a great opportunity for our student staff to come back together and welcome a new member, and the conference was great. We were in a car accident on the way back from the conference that ended in us totaling the car but thankfully all four women in the car walked away without any injuries. I think that will put a hold on my conference attendance, at least for a bit!
November went quickly, as well! It felt like we spent the majority of the month celebrating our birthdays but hey, I'm not complaining! It was also great to host another Thanksgiving and it was SO good to have Andy's mom, sister, and stepdad here for a few days. It's always so wonderful to have visitors! It gets a little isolating up here in Iowa!
The first weeks of December have flown by and we are now preparing to come back for the holidays! It will be so nice to be back but we wish we had more time! There are too many people to see in such a short amount of time.
Despite being a BUSY year, the Lord has blessed us in so many ways! The first six months of marriage have been amazing and we are looking forward to what 2009 brings! We're thankful to have found a wonderful church family and great friends here in Cedar Falls. Having been blessed with those elements has been our saving grace as we adjust to life so far away from home.
I'll try to post some pictures of what's been going on. If no more updates are made before 2009, the Crowes wish you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! May the new year bring you many blessings!
Ashleigh and Andy
