It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Hey everyone!

Sorry for the long delay, we've been putting off writing in the blog for a while now - everytime I go to sit down and write something, it seems like I should wait a day or two for something else to happen before I do it.  For example, not writing anything until we get our household goods at the house, so we have a desk and chair to write at!

The goods arrived earlier this week, and already our house is looking more and more like a home.  Though material possessions don't make it a home, it certainly helps to be surrounded by familiar pictures, furniture, kitchenware (apparently most of our stuff is kitchen appliances, dishware, silverware, etc), and linens.  We're so blessed to be able to not only have a roof over our heads, but the material possessions to fill it and make it comfortable.  Kylee has done a wonderful job decorating the house and making it look beautiful.


We took today (Saturday) to hang up all our pictures, decorate our Christmas tree, and make the house look like a home in preparation for Christmas!  The stockings aren't quite hung, and we don't have a chimney for Saint Nick, but the nativity scene is set up and the love of Christ is surrounding us and warming us in the cold Japanese weather.

We'll be posting a video tour of the house soon, once we get a few more things put up and Kylee deems the house worthy of public viewing.  Until then, Merry Christmas and happy birthday Jesus!
