I have never been this late with my Christmas letter let alone writing it online. So the cards are in the mail and here is our Christmas letter.
Aaron- graduated with his BS in counseling and is working on his masters, he finished his first year with all A's of course. He is strengthening his counseling career with working at several different drug and alcohol centers. He recently had a second interview with an organization called NARA. So we are praying that he gets the job, hours are a little better and more time with family.
Tracie- is still in school and will be done hopefully in September with a degree in Billing and Coding. I am hoping to get some kind of job in a hospital or clinic setting. I am adjusting to our new home in salmon creek. Its a little farther from church so sometimes its hard to get to some functions at church due to busy schedules and distance. I am still working part-time at Fred Meyers and they have been very good about my school schedule.
Alyssa 21- she got married in august and so we have a new family member. It has been great getting to know our new son in law. They are in early stage of marriage, so they are busy with work and spending time together. Anytime we get to hang out we cherish it.
Kayla 18-is still in Kelso, she is working at Papa Murphy's and is living life. She is still a child in an adult world to me, but she is doing as well as can be expected while on this adult journey. She does come to visit often and it is a joy to have her in the house.
Alex 16-is a sophomore at Skyview and he is really enjoying it. He is doing well academically and is in wrestling this year. Its his first year wrestling and even though he hasn't won one match yet it is the experience he is gaining. He has been so busy with wrestling that he has missed youth group alot and that is always a concern that he is getting fed. So we continue to speak into his life and feed him the best we can.
God has been so good to Aaron and I, he has protected us from illness, harm and is always providing for us. He provides a roof over our heads and the finances to be able to provide for our kids when needed. He has kept our kids healthy and blessed us with 4 kids that makes us laugh and still feel young. Aaron and I love our family so much and enjoy any time that we get to spend with each one of them. It is humbling to sit back and see what God is doing with each one of their lives.
I ask you to pray for each of them, one is on their own journey,one has a hard time making friends, one needs more hours at work. So thank you to those who are constantly speaking into their lives. They will someday look back and be forever grateful for you!
Merry Christmas from my family to yours!
Tracie
