I will try to blog better in the new year - but right now life is pretty crazy with being out of town alot and work keeping me busy. I will do my best to get up updated family photos from the holidays as I know there are a few of you out there who do stop by and look for them. Sorry I haven't kept up as well as I could be.

 

Forgive me and check back after the first of the year. *hugs*

It's been awhile since I have posted anything ... and I'm sorry about that. I keep thinking I need to "stop in and say hey" and then I get on to doing something else. Well, I'm taking a moment and here's a quick update...

 

December has been pretty crazy around the Fahrion household. I've been doing my annual donation drive for the local woman's shelter and we have over 200 items and many Target gift cards that I will be dropping off to hopefully make their Christmas a little more comforting. I can't imagine being in their shoes during the Christmas season or any other time of year for that matter. Special prayers out to them.

 

In other news... it seems like cancer has been the word for 2008. Currently 4 people very close to me are battling for their lives and I also find myself missing Jim (who passed in Sept) who was my "partner in crime" this time of year with the donation drive. It's been so hard not to be getting phone calls and emails from him this year. He is so very missed.

 

Last night we got a ton of a sleet / snow /ice mixture here in central Iowa. It made for very heavy shoveling this morning and as I tried to help out Dan I realized "woah, I'm SHOVELING!" For those of you who were following me last year... my back was so bad I could hardly stand up and sit down. What a HUGE blessing that is.

 

Merry Christmas and a happy and health New year,

Tracy
