2011 was an amazingly crazy year with many ups and downs! I’m not one to send out Christmas cards even though I am a big believer in Christmas and Christ coming to bring us new life. I have to say there is so much for me, personally to be thankful for this year. On April 17, me and Michelle celebrated our 1-year anniversary and that has been an amazing journey of God’s goodness to me as He reminds me daily, through her, how much He loves me!
On February 16 my sixteen year old who is now 17 was diagnosed with the most aggressive form of Leukemia. After 3 rounds of chemo and a bone marrow transplant he is totally healed and in recovery! Michael and Matthew (standing back row, ages 21 and 19) were perfect matches. Michael was chosen for the transplant and Josh got to come home from a 5 1/2 month hospital stay. We are grateful for God’s healing grace on his life.

It’s going to be a great year! Happy New Year to you all. We hope it is filled with much laughter, joy and peace for you and yours!
