I didn't get cards out for the 3rd year in a row. I'll just put what I would have put in a newsletter here. For you. My two loyal subscribers.
Mark is a Senior this year and turned 18 just a couple of weeks ago. He achieved his Eagle scout award on November 14th and we'll be having his Court of Honor sometime in January. He's taken things a bit easier his senior year. No A hour. He's grown quite a bit and is much taller than his mother now.
Brittany and Nate became parents this year. On January 25th, they welcomed a girl, Makenzie "Kenzie" into their little family. Brittany returned to work a few months later at Massage Envy, where she works as a massage therapist. Nate put in his applications to Grad school (PA School) and was accepted to Touro University in Henderson, NV. He starts in July 2014 and they will be moving there in June. And taking Kenzie with them. :( I will miss them terribly. Kenzie is the most beautiful red haired, hazel eyed baby you've ever seen.
Andrew and Jen were divorced and that became final in March. Andrew made a job change later in the year, and is now working for Loomis as an armed guard. He and Jen continue to co-parent Makayla. Makayla is now 3 and an absolutely delightful little girl. She started dance this year and loves Miss Wendy's class.
Lee decided to end his employment with SRP this year after 18 years. He started with another company and they let him go after 90 days. He started with Edupoint in mid October and he seems to like it there. He is a software developer. Lee continues to referee jr. high and high school wrestling. He started up playing Euchre with some playing groups and does that a few times a month as well. He spent a week in the hospital in March, and has been in good health since then.
I don't really want to talk about myself. This has been an exruciating year for me. I don't really even recognize who I am anymore. The trials that have been given me have been more than I can handle and won't seem to let up. I've never been lonelier. That is all.
I'm really sorry that I haven't been able to send out Christmas cards. It's been all I can do to get the tree up for the grand girls. The lights are only half way done on the house and they've been that way for 3 weeks. They aren't hooked up to a power source and I'm sure that they'll just be taken down in the next day or two.
I'm looking for a miracle in my life. I hope you and yours have a very Merry Christmas.
