Yes, Andrea and I have already put up our Christmas tree for the season.
We decided to get an artificial tree this year.
This tree is one of those pre-lite hinged types that makes it very nice to setup.
The part that takes the most time is putting up the ornaments. We actually have soo many ornaments that we didn't put all of them up this year.
BJ Arnold, Brandon Siegel, and I hiked a 5 mile trail last weekend in the Ozarks from Blanchard Springs to Gunner Pool. It was a nice relaxful getaway from the normal fast pace of life. Some of the highlights of our trip were me loosing my jacket and both of my boot soles almost completely falling off. Fortunately, by that time our hike was almost done.
Our church has been going through the Purpose Driven Life study for the past several weeks. As we are reading the book, we also meeting in small groups throughout the week.
Andrea and I have been hosting one of those groups in our home. We are enjoying the study, having people over at our house, and getting to know our small group members on a deeper level.
