Our Christmas Celebrations

December 30, 2015April 4, 2017

Another “first” we couldn’t wait to celebrate: CHRISTMAS.

I always had dreams of watching our child open his/her first gift. Getting up Christmas morning and celebrating Christmas as a family. Telling our child about what Christmas really is about. A baby that came to save the world.

And now those dreams have come true. Every single one of them.

What a special Christmas it was. A Christmas we will always remember!

We were blessed to be able to travel home for Christmas, which is always so special. Catching up with family, friends, and spending Christmas together as a family of 3.

Michigan weather consisted of 60-some degree weather with rain and a rainbow, days before Christmas

Mazy is so intrigued by the grandfather clock

Waking up Christmas morning – someone is a little excited to open her gift from mom and dad!

Mazy is determined to get that wrapping paper off!

Her new Sit to Stand Toy – someone is a little proud

I LOVE doing puzzles!

Mazy is obsessed with dogs – even Clifford!

We couldn’t be more thankful for our families! And most of all, we couldn’t be more thankful for our Savior, who God sent down in the form of a baby, a human, to walk the life we walk, and then to die for us so we could be set free! What more could we ask for – to be able to spend eternity in perfection, with our Father!

A Day To Remember

Mother’s Day. A day filled with so many emotions. It was a day I used to dread. A day I wouldn’t be able to get through without crying. A day I dreaded going to church on. A day that brought so many suppressed thoughts and emotions to the surface. A day I never thought I…

My New Adventure: Coaching

Sometimes I wonder why certain things happen in life. Why we become passionate about something, to only be derailed and forced to go a different direction. That is the walk of faith. I look back at my “career” in basketball and sometimes I feel it was cut short because of my heart condition. At the…

Life has been a bit crazy lately, but don’t we all just have those weeks sometimes? Dan and I often say that even though there are crazy seasons of life, sometimes they just end up being crazy weeks and then the next week looks completely different. Do you know what I’m talking about? I feel…
