Christmas Letterette 2009

Greetings, everyone! We'll try and condense what's been going on during our first full year of marriage. Janet's been getting split furloughs with a month or so in the summer and a month or so in the winter. That's how we swung it to be married in August last year (8-8-08). So in February we took off for Marquette in Michigan's Upper Penninsula to visit her family.  We had nice visits with friends and family along the way. While we were there, Brad experienced his first blizzard, and how much snow shoveling takes out of a Yooper's life.

Brad's TV job came to life when we got back. Moab's Easter Jeep Safari has many advertisers, and we got caught up financially, and a couple jeep rides too! And of course, it's the beginning of the tourism season, so we both got busy til fall.

Back to Marquette for another visit, and to empty a storage place that Janet had her household belongings. We rented a 26 foot Penske van and towed the car back home to Moab. We have since assimilated it all into the house. Had a great vacation-visit and came back to finish up the Moab website season.

September found us in Phoenix to attend a marriage seminar called N.A.M.E. and visited our good friends Jim and Kay, and cousins Dianne and Butch.

The Thanksgiving holiday went quietly, with Brad filling in at the Sunset Grill restaurant and making enough to pretty much pay for the shopping trip on Black Friday. Janet went to the movie by herself, but I got off early and we still had time for a nice evening.

Proud to say we've gotten almost all of our Christmas cards mailed by Christmas! We wish Eternal Blessings to you and your family, friends, church, etc.

With Love,

Janet and Brad
