Meet Ben

Meet Ben, the newest member of the Crosswhite family.

Ben was Chris' idea. He saw that a lady had 9 puppies she needed to find homes for and knew how much Nathan has always wanted one, so there you go. I am guessing he is maybe part cocker spaniel park lab or something bigger. He Loves Nathan, as you can see. He is really sweet. In the day we have had him, he shows good signs of being a good potty dog as well as a good retriever. He is really sweet and gentle and loves to run, jump in leaves and play with socks.

So, that is one change in our home. Another is that Chris got switched to nights. He is going in at 8pm and working until 6am. This is a temporary change until nights get caught up on some major cleaning, restocking and shelving issues. Joe thought Chris would be the best to get the job done, however, Chad, the administration manager is upset because as he says, "Chris is customer focused so he is being wasted at nights". WE will see.

And for my last set of picts, Hannah and I went on a girl date out for coffee. WE got dressed up and wore "make up" and got coffee. We went to starbucks and Hannah got a child's hot chocolate and I got a carmel machiano. WE wrote a horse story and played tic-tac-toe. Afterwards, we went to Penny's and tried on clothes. It was fun! WE had a great time.

This is Hannah's favorite. Her "mermaid" dress. She had me try on a pink shirt that the boys said looked like a ninja shirt. Who knows?

While we were on our "date" , the boys went to Bass Pro. They had a great time too.

Otherwise, all is back to some sort of normal. I thought I had some luck in a job with Home Instead senior care, which offers companion assistance to elderly people, however, after my first orientation and training, I found out that I need to be willing to work some overnights as well as be able to clear my DMV driving Oklahoma history, which is still unresolved with the Nebraska ticket thing. I had prayed for an open door or a closed one, and right now it looks like this is a shut door. So, I am praying that God opens an availablity for me and if He wants me to stay right at home, that He will make that available as well.

So, that is is from Norman. I am studying God's promises to start this new year and hope that all of you know how much He really loves you. I am beginning to discover that:-)

In His arms at all times!!
