On This Christmas Day…

Merry Christmas!

Can you believe it’s Christmas Day already? Though I feel I was way more prepared for it this year than I have been in the past! Yesterday we were at Dan’s parent’s house to open gifts (pics to come) and at night we went to their church for their Christmas Eve candlelight service. I always love it because there is something about standing in a circle around the church sanctuary, singing “Silent Night!” Can you imagine what Mary and Joseph were feeling when Jesus was born? That Mary had just given birth to the Savior of the WORLD? That just puts me in awe to think about.

Today Dan and I headed up to my parents for a family get together with the Bussis side. Always good times and filled with laughter! That is one thing I love most about Christmas – the gatherings! Gatherings that celebrate what Christ has given us and gatherings that remind us WHY we celebrate. Though our hearts are extremely heavy today because some of our best friends have to spend it in the hospital going through SUCH a tough situation. Once again, I am reminded that God is FAITHFUL in ALL He does; He knows best, even when we don’t have a clue what the reasoning is. He NEVER leaves nor forsakes us – and that is what I cling to for our dear friends.

Tonight…and I can’t wait…we get to have a game night with all our close friends here in St. Joe! This has been in the workings for awhile, and everyone is able to make it!! It’ll get wild, it’ll get crazy, and it’ll be awesome :). We are blessed to have such loving friends! I’m sure there will be stories!

Hope you ALL have a blessed Christmas and remember why we celebrate this day. Merry Christmas!

Oh, and tomorrow, we get to head up to Borculo for the immediate Geurink Christmas party! Can’t wait!

Still waiting to get scheduled for a 12-lead holter monitor for my heart, but I figure it’ll happen when it’s supposed to happen! So here’s what…

Mazy Grace – Week 2

On Tuesday, Mazy had her 2 week check-up and we have one healthy little girl! She is in the 99 percentile for height – well, actually, when you look at the chart, she is still off the charts! She weighed in at 8 lbs. 13 oz. and falls into the 73 percentile. Here is what…

This past week absolutely flew by for me! A week after being in the hospital really throws everything in life for a loop, so I feel I was often playing catch up all week, but it also has taken me a bit for me to feel like myself again. Dan observed though that on Wednesday,…

I have to admit, I look forward to when school starts. Not that Mazy is in school yet (she is not going to 3 school this year), but I sure am looking forward to the routine that the school year offers! Being in youth ministry, our life follows the school schedule to some degree, so…

Continuing our embryo adoption story… Our hearts ached. Ached and ached for those who were in the same predicament we were in: desiring children. Dan and I would sit in our living room and have conversation after conversation, talking about how we could possibly help these couples. These couples can carry, but cannot conceive. We…

Hello Fall! Can I just say I am LOVING the cooler weather? I used to love hot weather, but since having heart failure, it’s a hard aspect of summer that isn’t easy to deal with. But…fall? Yes ma’am! Bring on the colored leaves, warm drinks, sweatshirts, and cool nights! Fall also means early goose season…
