So, I've never really done this before, but my dad told me that our blog needed to be updated, so here goes... 
November was a pretty good month. Not much happened at the beginning really, but it picked up toward the end. On the 23rd, my brother, J.P., was ordained to the Gospel ministry. That was pretty exciting. Drew and I drove down to their house in Cumming, Ga, my dad came up from Florida, and my sister Lynn also came up. We had a really good time together. OR at least I did, I don't really know about them... I didn't get to go south for Thanksgiving, so it was nice to see them then. 
Speaking of Thanksgiving... Paul and I made our first Thanksgiving meal by ourselves this year. Usually, we go to Paul's grandparents house in Gays, IL to celebrate Thanksgiving. Well, that is when we can't afford to go to my dad's. Anyway, so Paul, Drew, and I were in good old Powell, TN this year for Thanksgiving. Paul made the turkey, and I made all the sides. We took some pictures, but I still can't seem to find the cord for the computer, so I will have to keep you in suspense until I do. But, it looked pretty good, and it all tasted pretty good, if I do say so myself. And those of you who know my love for cooking must be pretty amazed right now. If you aren't, you should be! We did have a good day, and enjoyed our time together as a family.
So far, December hasn't been to bad. Paul is starting a new job next Monday, the 8th. He is going to be driving a truck again for at least a semester so that we can catch up on things a little bit. God has been so good to us in the last few months. He has really been teaching us to trust in Him. As unexcited as I am about Paul going back on the road, I know that God has provided this job for him, and that He will take care of us along the way. Thank you all for your prayers on our behalf. We have truly seen the Lord provide for us in the past few months.
I guess that's about all for now. Drew is doing really well. He amazes me every day. I am so blessed to be called "mommy". I love staying home with him and watching him learn new things every day. I am doing well, too. So far everything with Grant has gone well. I have about 11 weeks left until my due date. I went five days past that with Drew, but I'm praying it will be different this time...
With Paul gone all the time, I guess this will be my baby, so I'll try to keep it updated as much as possible. Maybe eventually there will be updated pictures on it...

Good job, Janelle! : )

We are praying for y'all. Let us know if you need anything while Paul is gone. Looks like we will be in and out during December and January.
