So we bought a new-to-us Ford Excursion today. Insanely large vehicle, and I feel like I'm driving a bus. It's really nice though, gotta say! And to all you big car haters...we didn't buy it just to get a big car...we need it to fit a pediatric wheelchair in a few months :). We'll be getting an "arm" for the trunk of our Excursion that will lift D's wheelchair and place it into the car. Pediatric wheelchairs weigh about 200-300 pounds, we have discovered, so that's why we won't be doing much lifting of the chair on our own! And having four kids that need boosters or car seats, well, that limits the car selection a bit! Its a great vehicle, and we are excited!
Happy last day of the year to us! 2012 was a fantastic one that brought many blessings and, most importantly, a new wonderful addition to our family in little Dillon! We're sure 2013 will be great as well as God is always good! We are so blessed. Thanks for loving on our family this year! Excited to see all that 2013 will hold.

Grateful...Joyful...
Two special things to share from this holiday season...
First - Our church, Tri Lakes Chapel, takes time each Thanksgiving to spotlight or share testimonies from members that help capture and express the spirit of the Holiday. This year, the focus was Thankful In Spite of. We were approached to share and agreed to shooting a video (after some prayer and consideration mind you). While we are still hesitant to share too quickly, we are also trying to be open to how the Lord wants to use us all for His purposes. We thought this would be a great way to share our joy through the journey so far, and encourage others to find their own joy and thankfulness in any circumstance. We also thought it was a tactful way to introduce our family to other church members more broadly. This is, of course, the body of believers that will need to know and embrace Dillon most, as well as all of our growing children. In the end, it turned out great and we'd like to share it here. A special thanks to Marty at TLC for the video and our friend Allison Easterling Photography for some of the portrait images.
Second - we got to meet Nick Vujicic! If you don't know Nick, you can Google him, or check out his website here: www.lifewithoutlimbs.org. A few weeks ago, Nick was able to bless Compassion International's chapel time with a powerful message of encouragement and hope. Compassion's caring and incredible staff was amazing to facilitate a meeting for us while he was there at headquarters. We got to spend some time with Nick and his wonderful wife, Kanae, at lunch...and it was a true joy sharing Dillon with them and hearing from Nick as someone who's "been there". Nick is a true inspiration to so many - he surfs, skydives, writes books, runs/leads a ministry, tours the world, swims, and does everyday life without limbs...all the while loving Jesus deeply and making the Gospel known everywhere he goes. It was an honor to have met him, and we pray our paths cross one day again.
So...Happy Thanksgiving, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to YOU from the Mezey family (covering our bases as we are not the best or most frequent bloggers...and most likely will not be on here before January - ha!)! We pray that you find yourselves grateful and joyful this Holiday season...in any circumstance.
