Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

2015 Frink Family Highlights


1.   We took a family vacation to Hawaii to visit Cari’s parents and escape the cold – unfortunately Eli took pneumonia along with him, fortunately we had good news that a new baby would be joining us later in the year!
2.    Cari had a busy year planning weddings and wrapped up the year with 7 in the bag – she’s excited for next year’s wedding season.
3.     We celebrated 3 years of marriage by hopping on a plane to San Diego. It was a super fun 48 hours spent on the beach and hanging out with family.
4.  Cari and Eli jumped on ANOTHER plane in June and flew to Georgia to spend a week with her sister – riding horses, running from gnats, and eating peaches.
5.      Our family welcomed a new member in July – Duke, a rambunctious, snuggly, 7 month old yellow lab that is currently teething and experiencing his rebellious teen years all at the same time.
6.    Jason took the jump from the daily grind of working for somebody else and purchased a gym – Anytime Fitness Greeley – and is now self-employed! It has been one of the most exciting and challenging changes this year, but if anybody is up for the challenge, it’s Jason, and there is something to be said for waking up excited to go to work (almost) every day.
7.       Not to be shown up by the last highlight though, we welcomed Evelyn Vyolette Frink only 14 short days after purchasing the gym. She came into this world 4 days past her due date weighing 7 lbs 14 oz and measuring 19 ¾ inches. Our lives have been forever changed by this sweet little girl. Her smile is contagious, and we are wrapped around her finger already.
8.   A few weeks after he welcomed his sister, Eli turned 2!! This has been such an amazing year of change and growth – mentally and physically for him. He is obsessed with all things sports, trains, and dinosaurs (trust me, if you don’t know the name of a dino, HE DOES!). He attended his first hockey game this fall and has decided he will be a hockey player when he grows up.
9.      We have been involved in our church quite a bit this year through the usher team, city groups, and the events team. We have been blessed with so many more friends through Mill City Church than we could have ever imagined.

10.  As we continue to watch our country and world struggle along through many hardships, we are so thankful that we have the ultimate hope – that God sent His Son to love us and to teach us to love others. Things of this world are not eternal, the only thing eternal is His truth, and we take so much joy in knowing that this is temporary. During this temporary time, we will enjoy the many blessings we have been given. Merry Christmas and praying your new year is filled with revelations of God’s goodness.
