Jan and I are sooo excited because Blake is coming home for Christmas. That's the best Christmas present we could have hoped for this year. Blake, our one and only, lives in Bozeman, Montana building homes and working in a coffee shop. He is doing so well in getting established and developing new relationships and just growing up. In my mind, he should still be that little blonde-headed boy running out of his room on Christmas morning in his Batman pajamas and finding the baby Jesus in the manger. My how those days quickly pass by. Oh, they were precious!
Now, however, Blake is a man and leading his own life. He lives in the snowy mountains of Montana where the air is clean and the surroundings are breathtaking. He's good at teasing me by saying that he likes his office (the beautiful mountains) better than mine. Don't get me wrong, I love my office, but his really does beat mine. I'm just thankful one of us is enjoying what both of us love. (the outdoors, mountain streams and fabulous views)
It will take him at least two days of hard driving to get home and then two more to make his way back. Therefore, four of his days off will be spent driving long and hard. Though that's going to be a chore, he will truly be blessing a couple of old people. Okay, one old person and Jan. I really appreciate the sacrifice he is making to make our Christmas special.
As a bonus gift, Blake will be bringing Jen along with him. We had the pleasure of meeting her there in Bozeman when we visited in October. She is a precious young lady that really seems to have a sweet walk with the Lord as well. We are delighted that we will have the time to be with her again.
The drive will be long, the time will be short, but the fellowship will be sweet and the memories will be lasting. Isn't family just great!. Above is a picture of the three of us when we were in Bozeman. If you haven't seen Blake in a while, maybe this will refresh your memory of the good looks he got from his dad.

Terry...thanks for blogging...I am so excited for you and Jan to have Blake home...what a real gift - the gift of life both within and beyond. I entered the bloging world about 6 months ago so keep going...it is much more fun than writing the autobiography....at least online you can't tell how good or bad sales would be.
Merry Christmas!
The Picture is magnificent. Blake sounds happy and thats awesome. I think it would be cool to meet him someday. I definately think Blake has the better office view...no offense Terry :)
