(Happy Birthday Jesus! Eric and Dan goofing around at Dairy Queen)
The holidays are over, and everyone is ‘detoxing’ from the plentiful cookies, fudge, fruitcakes, candies and other assorted holiday junk food. You’ve all surely noticed our absence online and some of you may have tried to load our page at the beginning of January and found it absent as well (our domain name expired, but we’re back!). I’m sure that my lack of blogging was partially due to the de-motivating nature of 2+ weeks of temperatures between -10° and -25°, and it’s still going.I hope you all enjoyed your Christmas as much as we did. It was a very busy time; we had lots of people at the Hospitality House for Christmas Eve, Christmas breakfast, an outdoor game of broomball, and 40 or so for Christmas dinner. It wasn’t exactly “home” and when the day was said and done I missed my family and PA very much. But I think of the fact that there would have been 40 people spending Christmas by themselves in a dorm room or in small families thousands of miles from home it makes it worth it! I hope that our celebration of Jesus’ birth lasts through the year.
Expect another update later this week on what's up in our future! Thanks for hanging in there with us & Happy 2009!
In Christ,
Elaine
We missed you too!
