Thankful

I have so much to be thankful as the holidays are here.
We recently went to Ruidoso for Thanksgiving with my sister Heather and her husband Micah and their 2 boys Mason and Boston (http://www.littleladds.blogspot.com/) and we had so much fun! It was a short trip but so nice to get out of town for a few days! We are so thankful...
Yesterday it snowed so much here in Amarillo (really not a TON but it snowed all day!) so we stayed in and got our Christmas tree and decorations up and got some closets cleaned out! We put stuff up in the attic and really worked hard...but I still think we have too much STUFF!!! :) It is crazy how much we consume and keep over a 4 year period...but we are thankful...
Teaching is going good for both Keenan and I but we are so ready for the Christmas break (even though we just got through with a short break, it was more like a teaser for the longer one!) :) Keenan tests out 8-12 next Wednesday, so please pray that he does to the best of his ability (more specific that he passes with flying colors! :)) He is ready to move on from junior high and get in to the high school level of coaching. We are so thankful...
We have been trying for around 7 months to add another small addition to the Hooker household and recently found out that we are expecting this summer!!! I am about 9 weeks along and have been sick for about 3 weeks now! I go to the doctor on December 16th, as Heather said, "just in time to see the little peanut before Christmas!" :) We are so excited and are so truly thankful...

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving last week and has a wonderful Christmas in a few short weeks!

Thank you Lord for all of our blessings and the many more to come!
