Johnson / Woodard Christmas!





Hey everybody,

Erin and I have been at her parents house alot the past few days and their internet was having dificulties so it has been hard to post. We have had a nice time with the family and getting to know Ian's fiance much better. It sure is nice to have anothother non-Johnson for the holidays. Having Christmas with a small family is just different than the olden days! We have had fun though. We went skiing last week and the conditions were great. The Subaru handled awesome in the snow and our newly purchased snow blades (short skis) handles great down the mountain. We all went out to an authentic Moroccan restaurant where you eat with your hands sit on the floor and they even had a belly dancer! That was a bit awkward :) We had a litght snow fall fro a few hours yesterday and woke up this morning to a snow covered ground. It wasn't much but still nice. Noah has been sleeping better the last two weeks although he begins each night with a lengthy crying session. We are soo greatful for the sleep though. It makes a world of difference. My work is completely dead, as usual for this time of year. I'm not sure what January is going to look like. Last I heard Mitch didn't have any leads for new jobs and the company is broke so we are just on standby until something pops. He didn't even have the finances to pay for Vacation or holiday pay for this Christmas which Erin and I were planning on and on top of that we had to pay for health insurance for January :( We are going to try to find a new health insurance plan and get off the group plan from the company. We usually only pay half of the coverage but it is still over $500.00 a month for our side of it. Anyone have suggestions of who to look into? There is an opportunity get some work this month with a Cabinet maker friend who is really busy right now. That will be a blessing and also fun to be able to work more specifically with wood.

Anyway's that is our last week or so of fun. It sounds like despite some unforseen change of plans everyone has had a delightful Christmas. Next year we are ALL together right? Right? Love you all. Thanks for all the updates and the great thoughtful gifts from everyone!

Just wanted you to know again that we are praying for you and know the Lord will provide just the right work. Our neighbor just began selling Liberty Life (RBC Insurance) which has a health insurance too. He said the rates are pretty good. The toll free number is 877-888-4974. The card did not have a website listed but I'm sure you can find one.
