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!

Around The Home

I don’t think it will be long and we will have a walker! Mazy is walking along furniture very well and even trying to hold onto walls while walking (which is interesting to watch). She gets so proud of herself that she becomes over zealous and lets go and then tips over. So, we have…

WE ARE DONE with our quarantine projects! We wouldn’t have spent this time any other way, but there is something to be said about the feeling of accomplishment after major projects, eh? Completely worth it and I would do it all over again (though I hope we don’t have to for awhile :)). We learned…

Instead of a “This Week In Pictures” post every week, I would like to start something new and now call it my “Around The Home” post. If you have ever wondered what a day in the life of Kristin looks like, hopefully these posts will give you just a glimpse! Being fall, that means it…

Mazy Grace’s Newborn Pictures

Having newborn pictures taken, is something I had dreamed of for years, but never thought would come to fruition. Little did we know that one day, God would bless us with the opportunity to have pictures of our child taken. When I look at these pictures, I can’t help but think about the journey God…

Having Faith That God Can Heal Again!

It has been an emotional past few days. The ups and downs, the twists and turns, have us laughing one moment and tearing up the next. Yesterday was one of those days. I had an appointment with my family doctor and as she told me more about the results of my ECHO, I realized how…

The Sunny Side Of Things

With a new year beginning, I can’t help but think about the things I want to change in my life. How can I live life to the fullest? How can I serve God and others to the fullest? How can I love my husband, and daughter to the fullest? Questions that I have asked myself…
