Happy Birthday Jasper! I sure wish I could give you a big HUG! You are very special! I hope you have a fun day with your family and friends!

As for our family, Al is at the gym as I speak. I finished parent-teacher interviews today and it went well, but I am exhausted. I took a little rest. I felt incredible anxiety before these interviews. Some anxiety is normal, but this was irrational. It's still a remnant of fear or anxiety attack as I've experienced in the past. This was minor compared to those, but I want to get to the bottom of it. I have been going through "attachment" growth with Al, meaning that it takes me longer to attach - emotionally expecially. I don't know if this makes sense, but pray for me in these areas.

Tonight the Chrsitmas events begin. We have a dinner theatre at church tonight, Charles Dickens "The Christmas Carol." It is being performed by the same group that our cousin Don was acting in - in the passion play. So, I wonder if he will be part of it tonight. I am very excited as our neighbors Gwen and Roger are coming with us! They live across from Paul and Lisa. They have three kids. He is a cop and works with Conrad Lescheid!

Then tomorrow we are prepping all day for our Christmas party at our house. We are making a turkey dinner, meatballs and rice for 17 people! It will be pretty full at our place. Married and single friends, hoping to introduce some of our single friends to new singles! Wink! Wink! Audrey Loewen is coming (Lori's sister!) and Syl and her husband Jonathon, to name a few. Should be fun!

Nice talking to you!

Love, Brenda
