The Clark Family: Christmas is wearing us out, but we are LOVING it!

December has been moving by pretty quickly and a LOT has been happening. As you probably know, we miscarried the Monday prior to Thanksgiving. A couple of weeks after that initial start of the miscarriage, we ended BACK in the emergency room on a Sunday afternoon after church which resulted in a D and C (that is basically where they go into the uterus with a little vacuum cleaner and suck out all the impurities). That thing did wonders. Erin was back up to 100% in no time flat! If we knew it would be that easy, we would have had the D and C back in November! Our church family has been incredible. They have signed up to bring us meals and have rallied around us. It is really good and we are very humbled and grateful.

On a MUCH lighter note, we have been going, going, going with various Christmas parties and get-togethers. Sunday School parties, BCM parties, Church Staff parties, dinners with friends, etc. I cannot tell you the last time we have had an evening at home, just the three of us. Students are done with school for a couple of weeks, which means things will slow down for us as well.

Jackson was able to attend his very first Murray State basketball game as the Racers came to Ruston to play Louisiana Tech! Murray State lost by 6, but it was very exciting to see Murray folks down here and to be reminded of just how amazing college was. Plus, I was asked to say the pre-game prayer. I was wearing my gold Murray State Alumni shirt during the prayer, but I had my jacket zipped up.

Jackson has also become a chewing-gum addict.
