[Tear The Roof Off The Sucker, Parliament]

After yesterday's post , I just have to share something.  When I went to bed last night, sweet baby J was sleeping.  Sometimes, for whatever reason, when he's sleeping I am just overcome with love for him.  Last night was true even more than normal, because he did the sweetest thing- I was fiddling with my cell phone's charger cord, and I must have made a bit too much noise because I looked down to see him repositioning... and then the sweetest thing- he reached out to where I am when I'm sleeping, to feel for me and find me.  It was so cute and my heart melted like butter in a preheated pan over an open flame.

Then, even better, when I did sneak into bed he snuggled up to me, spooned me (my favorite!), wrapped his arms around me, and, while still sleeping, sighed contentedly.  Does that just not make you weak in the knees, that mental picture of a man cuddling up to the woman he loves?  I adore that man.

He's a hard worker, too- he's had to get up at 1:50 am for work this week (he has two jobs, the one in referral is his part time job at UPS, as in the delivery company), and so this morning he got up at 1:50, left for work at 2:45, and worked from 3:30 am to 2 pm.  Now he's sleeping- he went to bed at 7:30 am- and he has to get up at 10:30 to work from midnight until probably 9 or 10 am.  I feel so bad for him- he's so tired.  And we're supposed to make that crazy drive from here (Seattle) to Missoula tomorrow, replete with 3 snowy and treacherous mountain passes.  I'll likely drive at least to Spokane (5 1/2 to 6 hours without snow... who knows how long with!) so he can sleep for that first leg.  I love Jas and am so grateful for how hard he works.  He's seriously an incredible husband and I am so blessed to have him.  I want every female friend to know what it's like to have a man like Jas, who loves Jesus and is an honorable and respectable and wonderful man.

Not a db ;)

Beyond that, I'm going to go do a few posts that will show up while I'm gone.  We will have internet access from J's dad's house, so I may do a quick post or two from there.  No promises, though :)  Supposing the roads allow us, we'll be gone from tomorrow (Christmas Eve) until Sunday.  We appreciate prayers from our dear friends who know and love Jesus!

I truly hope that all of you can enjoy Christmas, and remember that Christmas isn't just about mushy materialism.  Jesus Christ was really born, humbly to a teenage girl in a barn, and He grew up and saved this world from all of our sins.  He's peace, joy, love.  Praise God for His sweet sacrifice.
