Well Christmas and New Year's of come and gone and we're back into the routine of things. As a family, we had a great holiday season. My parents came to visit and we had a wonderful time for the week they were here. Now the days go by fast and furious -- basketball for the kids, the annual church Teen Winter Retreat, KCEA competitions, and on and on and on. Justin came home yesterday with literature about class rings. I was excited and yet it was like, "Whoa!" What is my son doing with class ring literature? It is amazing that he is getting older, but I am not. I'm not sure how that works.
The holiday season was especially special this year as we were able to spend time with both sets of parents for the first time ever. God has so greatly blessed us with wonderful family. It is great to have a family with whom love is shared, but it is even better to have that family share a love for God and a desire to see His will done.
January 7 was our 22nd anniversary. We had an enjoyable evening as we tried out a new (to us) restaurant in Hershey. The portions were HUGE and the food was delicious. I cannot believe that 22 years have already gone by. As we often hear, "Where has the time gone?" Becky is so wonderful, patient, and loving -- I guess I will buy her a table saw or maybe even a Packers jersey. What better gift for the one you love? God has been so very gracious to me to give me wife like Bec.
Sat., Justin and I went with Pastor and another man from church, along with five other teen guys, to see the Penn State vs. Mich State basketball game. We had a great time. The game was close throughout and exciting right until the end. It had a slightly strange feel to it as the majority of the students are not back on campus yet.
Exams begin at school for the kids (and me). Then, right after exams they head to the Pocono Mtns. for the retreat. I trust that they will have a great time and that God will use the event to speak to their hearts.
