In early December, the decision was made to close the cafe we've co-owned for six years. We'd tried finding a buyer to no avail, and we needed to stop the red ink from flowing so freely. So Christmas Eve was the last day for the shop. After Christmas, Dan and I went up there to remove files and liquidate as much as we could. We plan on turning the rest over to the bank to help pay part of the loan we still owe. Please pray for us as we go through the day to day struggles of finalizing payment plans with everyone and trying to cover last paychecks for the staff.
So that's my excuse for not writing in seven weeks. We've obviously had a lot going on.
We traveled to Minnesota on Dec. 20 for Christmas. Got to see the Hovis family while there. Their youngest Isabel is six months old and has some seriously long hair already. They're doing well and are enjoying the church they're at. They've found it to be very supportive! They have a great temporary home on the lake with a fabulous view.
We also got to see newest nephew Ethan who was born just before Thanksgiving. Steve Davis (daddy) is already planning Ethan's presidential campaign and opening the campaign's bank account.
Megan finally has some teeth in her mouth--three to be exact, with a fourth that just broke the gumline. She'll be 1 on Sunday.
Emily went to the bathroom on the toilet once--more of an accident than planned! She'll be two on Jan. 22. She is able to put her own jacket on--albeit upside down.
My brother John got engaged and asked Annika and Lauren to be in the wedding. Apparently, Annika gets to be the "bell girl" who announces "the bride is coming." I have to get the specifics from Cassie, my soon to be sister-in-law.
Dan has one more semester of school which starts in February and then a 10-week chaplaincy internship at a hospital. We begin the "call process" or interviewing next week.
