Update from the Hugans

Well, it has been a few months since I've posted on this blog, so I will try to summarize it all in this post.

In October we celebrated Sandra's birthday on October 9th. I'm so thankful for her! (More on that later.) Then, we began going through a series of doctor appointments due to Katie’s shoulder pain. It turned out that she had injured her shoulder due to over-pitching during last year's softball season. Over the past several weeks Katie has gone through physical therapy, and is in the process of a return-to-throw rehabilitation. We are hoping that her shoulder will become stronger and that she will be pain-free.

November is always one of our favorite months. November 10th was our 21st wedding anniversary. I am so thankful for the godly wife that the Lord gave me. She is truly my “true north”. The Lord has been so good to us over these 21 years, and I look forward to many more years of serving Him with her.

Michael's 18th birthday was on November 15th. It has been an amazing experience, and a great blessing to have raised Michael thus far. As we pray for the Lord’s direction and purpose for Michael, we are seeing the Lord bless him in many ways, day after day. He just recently finished his first semester at the University of Michigan, in Dearborn. Meanwhile, he has a good job working for a very stable company. His is remaining very active in church ministry; especially in the music ministry. He is also a great help in many aspects of the church, many of which are behind-the-scenes. I am thankful to the Lord for his willingness to not only serve in areas that are noticeable to others, but also in ways that only he, I, and the Lord know about. I am looking forward to seeing how the Lord develops him and guides him in the direction of his God-given destiny.

December was, as always, an enjoyable month, despite the busyness of the season. We were able to spend some family time during the holidays with my parents and Sandra's mom, and we are still currently enjoying time with the kids during the holiday break. Although Michael is off of school, he is working every day through the week; he really likes that - especially the paycheck!

That should get us up to date for now. Hope everyone has a happy new year!
