This afternoon while Amy worked on lesson plans, I threw together a new website (based on this one for its design) that I’ll use to market my small-scale web design business. I recycled an address I used while I was in Cambodia (www.josh-in-cambodia.org) and used the initials to create J.I.C. Web Design.

I had intended to use Jensen Dimension for my web portfolio, but I started to doubt the wisdom of passing out – for business purposes – the address to a web site devote mainly to family news.

We celebrated Thanksgiving with the Park family this year. Jun Suk is one of Josh’s fellow students, and this is his first year working on his Ph.D. at UTA. We had a lovely time with their family and enjoyed our fellowship together.

Thanksgiving preparations kept us busy both Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Wednesday night, while Josh was in class, I made three loaves of Challah bread. (Challah bread is traditionally served in Jewish homes for the Sabbath meal and at feast times, but I love it and decided to add some Jewish flavor into our Thanksgiving meal.)

Thursday morning I popped the turkey in the oven (love those oven bags), and when it was cooked, Josh did a wonderful job carving the turkey – just finishing as our guests were arriving.

After our guests left, we took a traditional after Thanksgiving meal nap, finished reading Chesterton’s The Man Who Was Thursday, went on an evening walk, and enjoyed warm turkey sandwiches for dinner.

We have so much to be thankful for this Thanksgiving – our salvation, our marriage, our apartment, our jobs, and the many other blessings God daily gives us. He is our faithful Father. To God be the glory.

Being married is one of the most wonderful things in the world – I love it!  I love living with and sharing everything with my best friend – my husband. I love the way he points me to Christ and challenges me to be more like our Savior.  Happy 5th month anniversary, Josh- thank you for choosing me!
