Christmas is Nearly HERE!

I simply cannot believe Christmas is on Sunday. Where has the year gone? Where will next year go? Will I have enough time to crank out some pumpkin bread? Just a few reflections about this year, and because I am lazy and time has gotten away from me I have not sent out any kind of Christmas card this year - so consider this my Christmas newsletter from my family to you :).
This year a lot has happened (so cliche...but probably true most of the time)! Our little family took a big step out on faith and moved to Katy, TX from, well from wherever the job was before that - pretty much all over to one place :).
Tim is going to school to be an automotive technician and is loving it! He is doing well in school, and has passed 3 of his ASE certification tests already! I am immensely proud of the work he has put in and his success thus far in school, and he is excited to realize his goal of becoming a technician. Next year he plans on passing 6 more certification exams and becoming a Master Tech after his experience requirement is met, and hopes to get a job at a dealership as an assistant to get some hands on training. He is still loving video games, hanging out with our little man and working on Mia (his project car).
Jessica (that's me!) has made a change in career and is looking forward to what the next year may bring with the company she is currently employed with. I (sorry had to change tenses the 3rd person thing was weird) am loving being able to be home every night and to have a place to be able to become involved with a community and church. I joined a small book club and am enjoying interacting and reading new and different things! (I have ALWAYS wanted to be in one of those!).
Dylan is now 2 and is enjoying his daycare. He interacts well with the little kids at the daycare and is learning his numbers and colors. He is active and a whole lot of fun! This next step for him will be potty training! (cue scary music). We shall see how we handle all of that. He loves anything with wheels and locating school buses as they are 'yewwow wow!'.
Our little family is settling into everyday life and looking forward to purchasing a house somewhere on the horizon. We actually found one we like and may be in one sooner than we think!
