Good evening.

We woke up to a Winter Wonderland for the past 2 days!! YAY! Soooo exciting. We are loving it! And it is snowing, and blowing, as I write this. The weather is sooo cold. The forecasted low for Wednesday night is going to be 0, and the high will be 27. We are so thankful for our firewood! We are loving the cold weather and warm house. It looks like it is possible we are going to have a white Thanksgiving. That would be cool!

David had a very exciting day today. We got an email from Lizzie at Northern Nevada Children's Cancer Foundation, and she said Amanda from the Reno Aces had some tickets for the Reno Bighorns (basketball) game today. Both sports teams are owned by the same people. So, we went to the basketball game today! It was a lot of fun. David didn't think he liked basketball; but, just like baseball, it is much more fun when you are there. Thank you, Amanda and Lizzie. I have to say, Reno does a lot for our children. We really had a great time! Of course, it was made much more enjoyable by the fact that we won; 110-105. We played the Utah Flash. So that was very exciting for David. We just left right after church. We saw a lot of cars in the ditch on the way to Reno, and tow trucks pulling them out. We even saw a limo in the ditch! There were some crashed cars, too. The road was icy in places. Then on the way home, there was a total white-out through the valley. We couldn't see the road, the cars in front of us, or anything beyond the hood of my car! It was pretty scary for awhile. But Bryon did good, and we made it home safely. So it was a fun day today.

David is almost caught up with all his work. Crazy kid left the hardest work for tomorrow~~~essays!! He has a two-page and a three-page essay in government to write. Grrrr. But I hope he can get them done tomorrow. Bryon has the week off, so I was hoping David would have it off, too. But he will have work to do tomorrow. That is ok, he will get it done. Then maybe he can sleep in on Tuesday and Wednesday. Please pray that he gets those essays done. Thanks.

Lucy will be having another ultrasound on Tuesday to determine whether or not she will end up with a c-section. So far, it is looking that way. That is why the need for the ultrasound on Tuesday. Please pray for God's will for the best outcome for the birth of the baby. We all want what is best for Lucy and for the baby. Thank you for your prayers in this matter.

That is about all that is happening in the snowy land of Carson City, Nevada. Thanks for checking in on David and the Koury Klan. Please keep us all in your prayers. Please continue to pray for all our Osteo family members; there are some that are really suffering right now. Off the top of my head the ones I can name are Sara, Todd, Rachel, and Taylor. Rachel has surgery on Wednesday; and Taylor just had surgery and is starting chemo, again (she has relapsed). Thank you for praying for these children (sorry, Todd {he's not a child}). I really appreciate all your prayers. Have a good evening. God bless you all. We love you.
