Dear Family,
It’s hard to believe another year has passed already! We’ve been living in Atlanta for just over a year now and are finally feeling settled. Jason is still working at CCP (a video game company) and is doing very well there. I have not been working at a regular job for about 10 months but just accepted an offer yesterday at a company called Kool Smiles as a Business Analyst. I’ve been managing our four rental properties in the meantime, which has kept me busy!
As most of you know, we had a surprise 60th birthday party for my Mom last July in Montana. Curt drove out from Vancouver with Tyler and Ella. I think it was around a 14-hour drive. So if you can imagine it, by himself with two little ones… Yeah, he’s awesome! The kids did great too; bless their hearts for being so good for their daddy. We wish Jerri could have made the trip too, but she had to hold down the fort and work. Jason flew out and Kenny and Myrna were able to be there as well, which was so special. There turned out to be around 35 people in attendance, and we all enjoyed celebrating my beautiful Mother. She is amazing, I feel incredibly blessed to have her as my Mom!
In August, Jason and I joined his family on their annual beach trip. We went to Hilton Head, South Carolina and it was my first time swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. Turns out, I really prefer it to the Pacific since it’s MUCH warmer and the waves are a lot milder. We enjoyed the week with his family playing games on the beach, taking turns cooking dinners in the evenings, and going on some fun excursions to the local attractions.
In October, my Mom and I travelled to Vancouver to spend Halloween with Curt, Jerri and the kids. We all dressed up to go trick-or-treating and that was so much fun! We were able to stay for nine days so it was a nice long visit for all of us. We are planning to visit them again at the end of April and I can’t wait to see them!
Sadly, we will not be able to attend the reunion this summer since I don’t have much time off with a new job. But we are definitely planning to be there next summer so we’ll see y’all then!
Love,
Chelsea & Jason
