Three Days til Christmas!

Last night Michael & I went to see "National Treasure" at the old Cameo Theater in Newberg. It was fun; it's such a mom & pop theater. Instead of watching those trivia questions most theaters play prior to starting the movie, we watced old, silent home movies of when the Drive-In was being built in Newberg. It was back in the 50's or so and you had to guess what you were watching. Pretty funny. Then the ads they played for asking you to stay quiet, encouraging you to go to the snack bar, etc., were very, very old ads. I thought it was kinda cool. There was even an ad encouraging you to go to church on Sunday.

Yesterday Drew had his preschool Christmas performance. It was very short (two songs... one they sang to, one they danced to), but so incredibly cute! And my mom, my grandma and I were so proud of Drew. He sang loud, was the only one doing the motions, and then... and here's my proudest moment... my boy who had to inherit my non-rhythmic genes was dancing his little heart out! He kept his eyes on his teacher the whole time and was the only child doing all of the moves. Way to go!! The teacher had the whole thing videotaped and is posting it on something similar to YouTube. As soon as she sends us parents the link, I will post it on here in case you want to watch.

The boys are at Matt's this weekend, so I have had a chance to get a lot done. I also got to just hang out with my cousin Tammy, her daughter Amanda and her mom Arlene and watch a movie. And no, it wasn't even a chick flick yesterday. Believe it or not, we watched "Blades of Glory".

One of the most exciting things I was able to do yesterday was to turn in an application for a position as Birth Parent Counselor with a local Christian adoption agency. Finally something I can get excited about! I will hear about an interview after the 1st. I was also notified of an opening in Mac for a state Case Manager position, handling TANF (welfare) cases. That is one of those social work jobs I DO NOT want to do; however, I am going to go ahead and follow it through. It has to be up to God to open and close doors, not me.

On that note, it is time for me to frantically finish cleaning the house before Gary & Khonda and the kids arrive!
