Jan & John 2012

Dear Family,

Well, another year has gone by – so fast!!  We hope everyone is doing well! 
John and I did some remodeling on the house last spring.  We added a living room on the house, and then the old living room became our formal dining room.  It turned out so nice.  We are very happy with it.    We also resided the house with no maintenance steel siding.   We had to have the cedar siding stained every 3-4 yrs.  Which, was expensive and a pain.

John and the kids surprised me with a 60 birthday party last summer.  Oh, my gosh! They really outdid themselves.  They traveled so far to be with me on my big day!  It was special to have the kids and grandkids with me.  Then, one of the true highlights was that Kenny and Myrna were at the party too!!   It was so fun! 

And then, you all know that John and I got married on August 28th.  We were married on Ke’e Beach in Kauia, HI at sunset.  It was perfect!   The only thing that could have been better is to have our families with us.  They knew that they were with us in our hearts.  We were able to stay for a few more days and do some sightseeing.  The island is so beautiful!

Last October, Chelsea and I went to visit Curt, Jerri, Tyler and Ella.  We went to The Great Wolf Lodge in Grand Mound, WA the weekend we got there.  It’s an indoor waterpark and they also have all kinds of games for children.  The grandkids loved it, and I did too.  We had lots of fun.  I even surprised my kids by going on some of the scary tube rides! We were there over Halloween, so we all went trick-or-treating.  We had a great time!

Our thoughts and prayers go to Sharon and wish her a speedy recovery from her open heart surgery , and also Florence as she will be going in for surgery for a hip replacement the end of March.

We love you all very much!

Jan & John
