We had a wonderful Thanksgiving at my parents’ home! There aren’t any people I’d rather be with than my amazing family. We were very entertained by Scarlett, Juliette, and Madeline this year! The food was terrific, but the company was even better!

Gary, me, Jesse, Amber, Gabe, Hannah, Mike, Bethany, Christa, Brandon, Daniel, Emily, my sisters Laurie and Diane, my nieces Shalene and Rachel, and my nephew Michael, and Greg Fisher, Greg Moon, and Jacklyn all went downtown to run the Turkey Trot, a 6.2 mile run before the Parade. It was SO MUCH FUN! The weather was the best in four years. The run was long enough to be challenging, and short enough to stay FUN!
We had a great time learning about Alzheimer’s Disease at the Ritz Carlton in Dearborn, then going to Rachel’s Sweet 16 Birthday Party. If any one is SWEET 16, it’s RACHEL!!!!

What Joy and Peace He offers us!What Love He unconditionally pours over us! What HOPE He gives us that things WILL get better!…

I LOVE my little brother! He has been helping me the last two days at Bethany and Mike’s new house. He got MORE WORK DONE in two days than most people finish in a WEEK! I have enjoyed every minute of being with him too. I am always a better person after I hang out with him — he is so amazing. His philosophies on life are so wise and godly. I am very blessed to have him as my…
Today was wonderful, Despite hardly being able to move after hardly being able to move after the Tae-Bo workout, AND with a horrible toothache which Hannah diagnosed as me grinding a hole through a crown. Highlights of today: *Community Christian Church, Pastor Tony, had another amazing Word about Remembering what God has done in our lives and knowing there is a shaking of this earth and we need to turn to Him and let Him do a work in our…
We went to the circus tonight. It was very entertaining and we had a great time together! Missed Jesse and Amber this year — they were out of town!
