We decided it was time to buy a nice little home of our own, so we did. Our neighborhood is called Hills of Whitestone Ranch and is in Benbrook, TX. We’re about 5 miles southwest of Fort Worth. It’s sort of a rural-suburban area so the street you take to get into our neighborhood doesn’t have a name, just a number: Farm-to-Market 2871. We see horses and a partial view of Lake Benbrook every time we come and go. We’re happy.
ATTENTION: Pictures of the inside of this house will not be posted. If you want to see, you must come.

I took this 15-second exposure from our balcony tonight. On the left is a Benbrook water tower. The rest is southwest Fort Worth. See the plane apparently departing from DFW airport? At one point I counted 12 planes in the sky simultaneously but they were too spread out to capture at once.
We celebrated Lucy’s Birthday by going to P.F. Changs, our favorite restaurant since 2005. The food was succulent and fabulous! It was a beautiful evening. We discovered a very chic and exclusive orange-county-like place called Arlington Highlands. It was a very windy night, which made taking pictures a lot of fun.
In 2006 we got Lucy a Jeep for her Birthday. This year Steven and I decided to be a bit more bold and we got her a silver FJR Yamaha Motorcycle. She loved it!
It snowed here on Thanksgiving this year. I put together a little video to show the family and friends back in San Diego what snow looks like. I had to ask Sudi, who has lived in Minnesnowta, if it was snowing because I wasn’t entirely sure what snow falling from the sky looked like. The Fort Worth area is only supposed to get one inch of snow per year. I think that might have been it.

On Thanksgiving we had snow. On Christmas Eve, on the way home from church, we spotted some deer down the road from our apartment. Six of them staring at us! It reminded me of seeing dolphins in La Jolla. There’s something amazing about seeing animals in the wild and seeing them on Christmas Eve was as special as Thanksgiving snow. Benbrook is really growing on me.

Revelation Song by Kari Jobe
Worthy is the, Lamb who was slain
Holy, Holy, is He
Sing a new song, to him who sits on
Heaven’s mercy seat
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You
Clothed in rainbows, of living color
Flashes of lightning, rolls of thunder
Blessing and honor, strength and glory and power be
to You the only wise King
Holy, Holy, Holy
Is the Lord God Almighty
Who was, and is, and is to come
With all creation I sing
Praise to the King of Kings
You are my everything
And I will adore You
Filled with wonder, awestruck wonder
At the mention of your name
Jesus your name is power
Breath, and living water
Such a marvelous mystery
Yeah…
From all of us at the Gliebe Home (Texas Division), we wish you a Merry Christmas!
