Woo Hoo!!

Today was a very happy day because WE GOT A CAR!!!!! I am so excited! We are now the proud owners of a Ford Galaxy mini-van! I remember saying at one point in my life that I would never drive a mini-van and I have never been more excited to be wrong! Now I just need a bumper sticker that says "Soccer Mom" and I'll be set! (I guess I need kids in soccer first)! Josh did a fantastic job figuring out everything that had to happen in order to buy a car in Vienna (which was quite complicated) and he drove it home today! I am pretty sure that our kids are just as happy as I am!


We were also invited over to one of Carli's friends houses for coffee and cake. They were so very kind and we enjoyed some homemade apple strudel and some krapfens and a nut roll. (All are authentic Austrian snacks). They have daughter in Carli's class at school and a son around Caleb's age and a daughter around Cotter's age, so our kids had a blast. We got to spend time talking about Austrian Christmas traditions and had the opportunity to talk about why we are here in Vienna. Please pray that God will bless our relationship with this family and provide more opportunities to talk about Christ with them.
