Jacob in his room when it was all done

 I warmed the leftovers from yesterday’s Denny’s breakfast.  We read our Bibles, then Bill had to leave to go meet a friend from church and his brother.  Kimmy, Jared and Jacob stopped to pick up the stuff Vikki had for Jacob’s apartment, and also the stuff I got together for his apartment. We sure love our Jacob.  After they loaded everything in Jacob’s car and their van, they left to go move him in.  I cleaned three rooms while Bill was gone.  Next week we go to Iowa, then when we get back there are only a few days before we have our Christmas party for Bill’s side of the family.  The day before our party I’m staying with a dear friend to help her out, so the more I get done before we leave the better.

Kimmy took a video of his apartment and sent it to me. She also sent me some pictures.  I was sure thinking about them a lot and was so happy when I got the pictures and video.  It was nice talking to Kimmy.  I made chili while Bill worked in the shed on some locks for the Jeep.  I called Sue to see if she wanted some chili and she did, so I dropped some off to her.  We visited for a few minutes, then I headed home before my car cooled off.  It is super cold with the wind chill.  Bill and I each had a bowl of chili for dinner, then I packed up some to take to Maddy tomorrow when I meet her for coffee.  Her baby just got over RSV and her 2 year old just got over having pneumonia,  I wanted to drop food off when they were going through that, but too much was going on and also had an eczema flare up so didn’t really feel like doing much or going anywhere.  Last night I was up most of the night because it was so itchy.  Vikki sent me an amazing worship song this morning and it was right on time and just what I needed to hear.  I sent it to my friend, Tina, from church.  I also worshipped to a song called The Blood, a friend posted yesterday.  It is a powerful song because it’s Jesus blood that sets us free from our sin and shame and the song declares this, and there is so much thankfulness expressed in the song for what Jesus did. I just have to stop and raise my hands and worship Him.  My eczema was so much better today!  Praising Jesus.  I spent time thanking Him for Bill which I am doing often.  He is such a godly man and such a caring and wonderful husband, such a great dad to the girls, and such a wonderful grandpa to the grandkids.  He just keeps getting better and better.

Kimmy called and had taken another video of Jacob’s room all done, and also a picture.  She said the landlord came and he had brought a toaster, coffee pot, a spatula and some other things for the kitchen so the boys could use them.  Jared and Kimmy think he is very nice.  They met Jacob’s roommate whose name is Jared, and his mom and thought they were nice too.  

We had banana splits again for our dessert.  Yummy cookies and cream ice cream and lots of toppings.
