So, Jill wrote everyone's favorite blog last time... so I apologize for how short this one will most likely be. We decided that she is a good blogger, because she writes like she talks (and I don't). We are in Arkansas now, and we are having fun with the family! We always say that Jill favors my Jammama, so we'll let you be the judge of that.

We have been hanging out with our two nephews this week, Benjamin (left) and William (right). They are keeping us all pretty busy. Before Jill and I knew that we were having little Olivia, my family used to say that Sanders only made boys! I guess we proved them wrong. Hah! We also put William in an OU jacket before anyone saw, even though he is wearing a Bama shirt underneath.

Oh, and speaking of babies... I changed my first diaper, and it was... what's the word... AWFUL! Our little niece, Averie, had a nasty, brown diaper last week and I got suckered into changing it. I don't know how it happened, but it was more practice than I ever wanted!

Our good news of the week is that Jill and I are getting a bigger apartment!! Yea!!! We now have a one-bedroom (You might be saying, How is that a bigger apartment???) and we are moving into it next week! I think we have about 450 sq. feet now, instead of 350! Wow, we can only go up from here... =)

Thanks for tuning in...

Christmas Break Part 1

Part one of our Christmas break occurs in Oklahoma. We had a great time getting to see our friends and family. We had a Scentsy party on Monday. Scentsy is my new job! I now sell wickless candle warmers and room sprays! It is my new business that will keep me busy and hopefully bring in extra money!

Tuesday, we drove to Norman and visited our small group. It was so great to see everyone and be connected once again. Truman was extra excited to see us! We have really missed our small group :(. We spent the night with some of our best friends Andrew and Andrea. It was just like old times...only we slept in their living room instead of next door!

Wednesday, we went to some of our favorite places in Norman that we've missed. Some friends from River (and Kaylyn!) threw us a baby shower! Olivia is very spoiled! We are so blessed to get so many fun things and see our friends!

Thursday and Friday we spent time with family and friends. Way too much fun to go into details!

Saturday was the world's largest family reunion! Haha! We drove down to Elmore City to spend the day with about 50 Harmans! We ate all day, played with the kids, and played dirty santa! This year was a little different because it actually didn't get too dirty! I'm convince I got the best gift!!! BJ will enjoy washing our car because of the gift he go!! Fun, fun!

Sunday was a day of church! We went to Council Road in the morning and River Church at night. Both are such great churches. We also got the pleasure of hanging out with the Estep's and went to our favorite Asian restaurant.

Monday and Tuesday was more fun...except I have to mention the WONDERFUl dinner that my cousin Lindsey cooked for us. We went over to her adorable, new house to eat chicken spaghetti. I told her that I would recognize her on this blog because she very well might be our biggest blogger fan! She claims she reads it everyday at work!!!! So thanks Lindsey...for both the great dinner and supporting us!!!

Wednesday was our Oklahoma Christmas day! We began the day with going over to Grandma Junes and Pa's! Nobody does it like Franks' Christmas. We eat, of course...open presents, and then play bingo! There are always great prizes like toilet paper, Braum's cards, and lotto scratch off (which nobody ever wins!) It has been a tradition now, and will hopefully continue to be! We are so blessed to have everyone there this year considering they told my grandpa that he only had 2 months to live (several months ago!!!)...he's the stongest man I know! After that, we went to my parents to do Fournier Christmas. It is always a party over there!! Kids just add so much to every minute!! Free entertainment! Again, it was a blessing to have everyone there!

I'll wrap this up with Christmas Eve. We spent 6 hours driving from Oklahoma City to Fayetteville. Now, it nomally only takes 3 1/2 hours...but we decided to drive through a blizzard. I'll pretty much leave it at that. But it was the craziest day. I'm just glad I have such an awesome husband who is great at driving (and teaching driving!) But...we made it to Fayetteville and will now do Part 2 of Christmas break! Stay tuned...I'm sure there will be some great stories!

Awayo's Story

In the remote corners of the earth, people groups have existed for generations. They live in fear of the spirits. They die without hope. This is Awayo's story...

Did we leave you hanging?!

We are so sorry that we haven't updated our blog in forever! I wonder how many people actually noticed that it has been a month! haha. Well, lots of praises are to be given!

We're having a baby girl! We have gotten to see her (in an ultrasound) twice! She is perfect! I think that she is going to be a gymnast, like her mama! Her little legs were stretching over her head! She also yawned really big. She is so cute! We are so blessed that everything is going so well...and that we have insurance for Olivia (her name!), BJ, and me!

Next on the agenda...is it cold in Waukesha?! Lets say, YES! It has been snowing since Monday night! We've gotten a foot of snow and it's 27 degrees. They are predicting more snow, and a low of -4 tomorrow. Any takers on visiting us?!

Last, we have made it through our first semester! We have gone from Genesis all the way through 2 Chronicles. It has been fast and furious...but amazing. It's so awesome to see God's faithfulness to the nation of Israel, even though they constantly turned their backs on them. He is so faithful and keeps His promises!!

We will be traveling home to Arkansas and Oklahoma tomorrow! I am so glad that it is finally here! I have been really homesick. Please pray that our travel will be safe, especially with all of the snow around here. We love you guys and would love to hear from you...especially if you'd like to see us while we're home! We'll be in Oklahoma from Dec. 14-24, and Arkansas from Dec. 24-Jan. 4ish.
