What a Wonderful Christmas!

By Nancy -


I can't even begin to express how wonderful this Christmas has been. It very well could be the best Christmas I have ever had. On Christmas Eve we attended a Cantata and Bell Choir at the Baptist Church and then midnight mass at St. Mary's. I was so overwhelmed with joy that I wanted to shout out to everyone MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! What a thrill to be able to stay up late enough to attend midnight mass. Our priest, Fr. Greg, made the mass so special and ended by playing his accordion to Silent Night, what fun!

We always celebrate Christmas Eve with Scott's family, so we spent the afternoon at Mom Matthews' house where we had a wonderful dinner and just enjoyed time together. Scott's grandmother who was in the hospital the last couple of weeks was home and able to be with us which made it even more special. She turned 90 on Saturday, what a blessing she is to our family!

Christmas morning was spent at our house with my parents. What fun to see what Santa brought and to enjoy the morning together. Scott and I fixed a big Christmas breakfast and then we hung out playing Wii for the afternoon. That night we went to my sister-in-law, Leslie's, house for dinner.

What a perfect Christmas! We have received so many miracles and blessings and I felt them so deeply these past few days. God is so good and generous!

All my love! Nancy

What a beautiful Christmas! I'm so glad to hear you all had a lovely time. Isn't it a JOY to REALLY celebrate? I'm so happy that you all had such a wonderful time.

We had a lovely day, too. I've been running all around feeling NORMAL. I LOVE it. I still have to take a nap most days but I'm out and about otherwise and it feels great!

I thought of our donors on Christmas day and how blessed we are because of their choice. SO BLESSED!

Love and miss you guys! Hope to see you again SOON.

Please Help!

Hello Friends!  As most of you know, I have felt called to assist Christian artist Jason Dunn.  Jason made such a huge impact on my Hannah through his music and positive outlook at a time when she was emotionally and spiritually lost.  God used Jason to answer a very special prayer I had sent to him regarding Hannah. In the time since Jason and I started working together, a lot has happened.  We founded a charity for children and young adults with diabetes called the Jason Dunn Diabetes Foundation ( www.jasondunnfoundation.com ); we put together an 8 state tour to support this foundation; and now, we have launched a campaign through a website called Faith Launcher ( www.faithlauncher.com ) to help pay off the debt from Jason's new album, Abandon Progress, but also, hopefully, to raise money for our foundation. I would like to ask you to consider helping Jason and me by supporting his Faith Launcher Campaign.  You can do this by going to www.faithlauncher.com...

Pain is under control

I was very concerned last night when the pain returned with a vengeance, I almost had to return to the ER, but I was able to talk to my brother-in-law and he suggested I take a second pain pill and that made the difference. I have made sure to be on top of the pain and not let it get so bad again. Hannah stayed home again today, but I am hoping that she will be able to return to school tomorrow. This is a nasty bug! I couldn't let Scott have all of the St. Patty's day fun. What do you think, do curls suite me? Love to you all! Nancy
