Christmas Bonus

Here is another funny commercial. This one is for the Christmas Bonus Lottery. I especially like the turkey running along the beach with her braids flowing behind her: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JwokqKZLpPA

Anyway, I ordered my office furniture today. Yeah! I think it will take a week or two to get here. It was fun picking out what I wanted. I will be glad once I have everything together. Not much went on today. Oh, I bought some car insurance! At first they tried to tell me it would be £1900 a year, but I was able to bargain them down to £625 by agreeing to get a letter from my previous insurer saying that I have been claim-free for the past five years. Whew! It wouldn't have made a huge difference to me personally since my company is paying for my insurance, but I am glad that I was able to save them a lot of money.

Victor is still working long hours, but their busy season is over on Friday so his workload should ease up a little after that. I am so proud of how well he is doing at work and they even gave him a little shout-out in their company newsletter. Here is what it said: "Victor Yarbrough is now well on board and running the claims function previously conducted by Irina in Investigations. Victor, who comes from Cincinnati, Ohio, has made a real impact in a short period of time. " Isn't that nice? I like to brag on my man. :) Speaking of newsletters, I wrote an article for my company newsletter about relocating to a different country and it was published this month. I would post it but it is sort of long.

God is really blessing us here and we thank Him every night for allowing us the wonderful opportunity of living abroad. Please pray for us that we continue to follow the will of God and remain sensitive to His desires for us.
