Here is a look at our Christmas:
This Christmas, we are so thankful for the Savior's birth and that our soldier is here with us to celebrate this holiday with us this year. So Merry Christmas from the Kees Family!
Here is my rant for the year- I am sure that you have all heard about this Omnibus bill that Congress has been trying to pass in 3 days. If they do not pass it the entire federal government will shut down. Why am I writing about this? I am writing about this because Jon is a Federal Technician for the Florida Army National Guard. They were told today at work that if it wasn't passed by the end of Sunday that they were not to come to work. From next week until they pass the bill, Jon and all of the Federal workers will be out of work, not getting paid because some genius in Congress felt the need to wait until the last possible minute to bring this almost 2000 page bill to the floor of the House and Senate and expect it to pass in 3 days! Jon and his coworkers were told that they would be back paid for the time that is missed but it all depends on when those wonderful people that we elected decide to pass this unnecessary bill. What makes it even worse is that it is happening the week of Christmas! If this does happen, it is going to put us (not only us but many people) in a HUGE financial situation. The only thing that I know for sure during all of this is that the Lord provides not only in the good times but also in the bad. That is all for now.
