I don't know how many people are aware of this right now or not, but for the last month or so, Megan has been looking for a new job in the Danville area. She applied to lots of different clinic jobs and at first it was pretty frustrating. She wouldn't hear anything, or she would found that a few places were going to go with someone else to fill the position available.
Nevertheless, Megan continued hunting and placing resumes in the hands of potential jobs that she thought she might like. Well, last week, the Polyclinic called. They didn't have a job available when Megan gave them her resume, but they called on Monday and she went in for an interview a few hours later. Now it's Tuesday of the following week, and Megan did her physical, drug screen, and some paper work yesterday. And today, she had to be there bright and early to get things rolling.
We both feel like this has been a time that really made us turn to God and completely rely on Him. Although we don't want to have to do anything like this again anytime soon, we are grateful for the storm and grateful for the way things are turning out.
Megan really enjoyed the people she was working with in Cayuga at the clinic there, but this has been a blessing in the end.

Indy Getaway
Megan and I were able to get away for a couple days this week. We took a little time to get away for Megan's birthday. We started our day with a nice massage at Escape thanks to a couple gift cards. Then it was off to Indy for the next two days. The first thing we did was go downtown to The Old Spaghetti Factory for dinner. It was Megan's first time going to the Spaghetti Factory, and it was nice for us to start our little vacation with a relaxing dinner together.
After dinner it was time to go to Sybaris. If you haven't been to Sybaris before, it's a pretty incredible place to stay for a night. Depending on the room that you choose, in your own individual room you get a pool, whirlpool, steam room, & massage chair. Then they have a stereo system that plays throughout all the area's of you room. It was pretty incredible. It was definitely a nice way to just relax for an evening.
The next day we decided to go to the Keystone Mall and walk around. While we were there, we thought, "Well... we're here, we might as well go to The Cheesecake Factory for lunch." So, we had another great meal and shared a piece of cheesecake that we couldn't finish!
Then it was time to head back home, but as we drive past Brownsburg, it almost seems like we always stop at Starbuck's for a couple hot drinks to enjoy our journey home.
It was a great vacation and I am so glad that we took some time to spend just the two of us. It's something that can so easily be forgotten and yet something that is so vital! Whenever I start to think that Megan and I haven't spent enough time devoting ourselves to each other, all I'll have to do is remember the importance of this time we spent together!

Christmas
Megan and I had a wonderful Christmas this year! On Christmas Eve we got to spend time with Megan's family in Decatur, spend time with my Grandma Eva and my dad's family before going to the great Christmas Eve Service at CrossRoads Christian Church. Then Megan and I went home and opened the gifts that we got for each other.
On Christmas day Megan and I slept in a little bit, then we got up and went over to Brock & Emily's to give them the gift we got them and Ryker the gift that we got him! Ryker's first Christmas was quite something. He has all kinds of stuff that he'll remember this one from. Megan and I got to take some pictures of the Dieu family together, hang out and just talk for a little while, but then it was on to the next.
We went to Sue & Fred's to exchange gifts between Sue & Fred, Katie, and Chas (Katie's boyfriend). We ate brunch with them, exchanged gifts and it was off again. The next stop was my parents' house where we were having all of my mom's family over for lunch and exchanging more gifts. Everyone had a really good time, but my Uncle Bob wasn't able to make it this year. Megan and I are going to be going with my parents and my sister and her boyfriend to an NBA basketball game in March!
After spending time with my mom's side of the family, it was time to see Megan's mom's side of the family. We drove out to Mark & Cindy's house where everybody was getting together. Of course we ate some more food and exchanged gifts, but then it was time to play some games. So there was a group of 9 that sat around the dining room table and played Apples to Apples for like 2 or 3 hours! It was a lot of fun and a great way to end the night. There were a lot of laughs!

The Season
Thanksgiving is in the rearview mirror and Christmas is coming fast. Luckily Megan and I are taking some time during this busy season to spend relaxing. We are going to go on a small trip to the other side of Ohio here pretty soon to see some of our good friends! (Ry & Heather). We really miss seeing them and have talked about going to see them for awhile now. So, it will be nice to get away a little bit during this crazy time of year and spend some relaxing time together and with some of the people we love.
If you get overwhelmed a lot during this time of year, maybe you should save some vacation time for just this season. Take a couple days off and go for a short vacation, even if it's just to relax and do nothing. It makes its so much more enjoyable to know that Megan and I are going to have a few days where we won't worry about anything except which way do we want to go to get to Ohio!
