Dear Family,
I am writing this letter with one day to spare before it is due. I don’t like this part but it is awesome once the newsletter gets to the house so that I can read up on everyone! This has been another eventful year for Chris and I, so here it goes.
In March Grandma Sharon, Grandpa Bob, Mom, and I went on vacation to Cancun, Mexico. We had so much fun and I am so glad that we all got to do that together. We ate great food, saw beautiful scenery, rode horses in the ocean, went bargain shopping, lounged in the sun on the beach, and
went swimming with the dolphins, and yes,
even Grandma and Bob went swimming with them too! We had so many good laughs like when Grandma, Bob and I got locked out of their room when we were sitting on the balcony. We had to yell down to the little senor to come and help us! I can’t wait till we go on our next outing…hint, hint Grandma, Bob, Pam, and Ray!;)
In May I officially graduated Summa Cum Laude at Dakota Wesleyan University with a degree in elementary education. If felt good to receive my diploma after five years of hard work. I interviewed for a Kindergarten position in Kimball, SD (30 minutes from our house) the same day that I graduated and found out a couple days later that they offered me the job. So….my first job has been going really well so far! I have 17 little angles, well most days they are. They are a good group of kids and we all have been learning a lot! They are learning how to read more, and I am learning you have to be careful of everything you say around them! I know one thing and that is I will definitely take advantage to the whole summers off part of teaching!!

Chris is still working at Trail King. This will be his fourth year there. He is starting to work more and more with the heavy specialized trailers which is good because it is better job security. It has been a little scary as Trail King has let quite a few workers go because of the economy. We just keep taking one day at a time just like everyone I’m sure is doing. He has again painted a couple of tractors this year which he really enjoys doing on the side. Our goal for next year now that the inside of our house is pretty much remodeled is landscaping the outside. I think we will have enough work to do on our little 40 acres for the next 100 years!
This last summer Pam and Grandma came out to visit us. It was awesome to have them for the week. They spoiled us while they were here as usual. I wish they could have stayed longer, but we take advantage anytime we get to see them.
Well that is about all I know for now! I hope this letter finds you all happy and healthy! Can’t wait to see you at the family reunion this summer! May God Bless you all!
Love,
Chris and Mandy Williams and Punky (the dog)
