what a great night. tillmans with jen and mere. french fry trio, dessert, and champagne. delish. the bishop arts district in dallas is so adorable. lots of shops with open doors and unique home decor, gifts, and clothes. i love living in this city. tonight we drove home through main street downtown. there were lights strung across the street connecting the buildings. i loved it and may have squeeled it was so cute. it made me think of the song silver bells "its christmastime in the city". love it.
another thing that makes this night great is that it is 11:11 and i am in bed in my pajamas all ready to snuggle up with the newest real simple magazine that came in the mail today and tom hanks and meg ryan aka joe fox and kathleen kelly. if you know the movie, make a comment and i will send you a prize :)
goodnight.

chuys+wyldlife team+snow=a very great night!

yes, becky took pictures when i picked up my new car at dallas love field. she is a trooper :)


oh and if you are looking for a new car and are in ministry go to mats.com josh is the best!

tonight i went to see twilight. and, contrary to most people, i loved it. i mean absolutely loved it. yes, at times it was a bit scary. but all in all i just loved the story. i love how edward will stop at nothing to be with and protect bella. he wants to know her. it seems as if there is nothing she can do or say that will make him stop loving her. how often i long for that too. i try to hide the ugly parts of me from everyone so that there is nothing unattractive about me out there for people to see. as much as i want to be known it also scares me so much. i wonder if edward cullen appeared in my bedroom telling me he wanted to know me, if i would feel free to be me or would i feel i had to be who he wants me to be? well, i would probably be frightened that a vampire magically appeared in my bedroom without opening the door :) i hope i dream of edward tonight.

i read this, this morning. how ironic that it was right after i was talking about having headaches and not sleeping.
"certainly, illness is a wake-up call to rely on God. the wonderful thing is that even though the situation is prodding us to rely on One greater than ourselves is terrible, it also bears the wonderful fruit of faith. all we need to do is ask God for help and then to be alert to Gods provision."
-from abiding hope by ann hagmann

how cute.

i woke up this morning with a headache. if you are of the praying type please pray because i have been getting migraines about every other day lately. they just hurt so bad. also, for the past week i have been waking up during the night every single night even when i take advil pm. it makes me not so fun to be around the next day.
"When the sun was setting, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them." -Luke 4:40
thank you Lord, for being a Lord that heals.

i found an article on usatoday.com this morning about people basing their christmas gifts on color. yes, the color of the item. it saddens my heart a little for two reasons. 1. there is an article about this on usatoday and 2. because this is the issue over in christmas in america. click to read color for christmas

merry christmas!
love, the mccabes
