We gathered together, those of us who could, and gave thanks for our overwhelming abundance. This year has been a rollercoaster filled with excitement and emotion but, ultimately WONDERFUL! We are greatful for many things
*Our family and friends
*God's provision
*The sweetest most handsome baby ever
*Great relationship and a successful marriage
*A home, and not just any home, our dream home
*Bing's heart condition, without it we may have never met and our life would not have taken all of the turns that have brought us to where we are
*Undeserved grace
This is not an exhaustive list, but it has some biggies:)

Closer, closer, CLOSER!
I talked with our loan officer today, and if all goes well, we should be able to close on Dec. 4th! If we close on the 4th we get to start moving on the 4th. What a whirlwind, even Maddox is shocked at how quick this has gone! I don't even know what to say about it except that we are so very excited and can't wait to have a home of our own.
******
Bing has health insurance now....has had it since October. I am a little behind on my updating. With his heart condition, he qualified for CHIP which is a catastrophic health insurance for uninsurable people. The premium is only $200 a month and there is only a 4 month preexisting condition clause, which means he could have surgery January 9th and it would be covered.
******
Maddox is teething again and will soon have four teeth on top and only two on the bottom.... awkward. He is still super adorable and has a wonderful temperament. I couldn't ask for a sweeter, more wonderful baby boy.
You can't see it very well in this picture, but tooth number 3 is on the right of his top 2.
******
We are heading to Oregon for Christmas. We will leave Billings on the 20th and won't be home until January 2nd. My amazing, wonderful, generous in-laws are keeping Maddox for two nights and putting Bing and I up in an unbelievable rental near Lincoln City. New Years Eve will be spent in Seattle where a gentleman who graduated with Marcia is hosting a benefit ("Bing" in the New Year). 2009 has been an incredible year and I believe that 2010 is going to blow it out of the water. We continue to see blessing after blessing and good things are happening all over the place. What a wonderful life we have.
Our sweet neighbors put rollers in his hair and took incriminating pictures. Thanks guys!

Ah nuts!
Bing is the best husband ever and is making some beautiful furniture for our new home. His first attempt at making funiture turned out splendidly as you will see. I have two walnut end tables that will eventually have smaller versions to nest beneath them. He is also going to attempt a coffee table made of the same material, once I decide on the look that I want.

L-MoneyMillionaire
We met with a hilarious gal at Western Security Bank today to discuss our financing options and what we can qualify for. She approved the loan for a higher amount so that we can pay off my car with it, apparently that makes me look better somehow. If I work full-time at the wine bar, I personally, without Bing's income, can get a loan to cover our taxes on the house! Our mortgage payment will be almost exactly what we pay now for rent, utilities and my car payment. The house, and the loan are solely in my name, that way, creditors can't come after the house for the medical bills in Bing's name. What a huge blessing! We should be able to close in mid December and be moved in before Christmas.
Praise God for all that is good and wonderful in this world. How can we ever realize his true goodness if we never experience a bit of hardship? He really reveals his power and authority when we admit that we need Him and trust Him for the outcome. Thank you Jesus for showering us with blessings.
