Christmas time is here!

Well friends, it's over, finals, school, projects, and tests are all over with until January! I am so thankful for all that God has done for me over this year and as it comes to a close, it has been a awesome year with friends, family and laughter to go around.


Over the past week I have fought through stress, tests, and finals to get through final exams at LCC and be done, and I can honestly say, it was all worth it. I am so happy to finally be done and have a much deserved break, see family, and enjoy time with friends with plenty laughter to go around. Just some updates for you all who want to know what's going on in my life and those close to me.


The newly weds Will and Meghan Haynes are living in Wheaton, IL and are doing great. They are getting plenty of snow as we can tell and have heard, and are happy. Meghan is teaching at Wheaton Christian Grammar School where God is blessing her there, and Will is on his way with classes to getting his doctoral degree. They are flying in from NJ the day after Christmas and we are meeting them in Raleigh on our way to Asheville to visit family for a few days. We are also making time to visit with our Greensboro crew as well during that trip.


Things are going great with the family here at the Haynes homestead as dad continues to work hard and mom and Tori work on school work still at home on a daily basis. Josh works for DEPS where he installs alarm systems and the like, and is enjoying it. All in all everyone is doing great!


Tori and I are still members of Neuse Baptist Church or NBC as we like to call it and are very active and busy there. This past Sunday we performed our Christmas Cantata 4 times that day, 3 at the church and one at a local nursing home. All through the month of December we have fun things going on to celebrate the season. We are still active in the choir, Tori is very active in the youth group at NBC, and I am active at the time in the kids activities like: nursery, Mission Friends, Team Kid, etc. We have a lot going on and are also in the process of raising money to move church locations. All in all things are going great at NBC for all who go there.


A lot has been going on and much to share, here is just a glimpse of what's been going on with my family and friends over the last few months. More to come later on in the life of HillaryC.


NBC had it's Fall Festival to raise money for an
upcoming youth trip on Saturday November 22nd.




Tori and I went to see 2 of our favorite Bands on:
Friday December 12th for the 1st time in Greensboro, NC.


My Aunt and Uncle came down to have Thanksgivin with us.
