We don’t have any recent pictures of us this year, so I’ll post one from our first Christmas we spent together (while dating) in 2007.
Well, we’ve been blessed with a good year in 2011!
This year has included many projects on our house, including:
1. Starting work on our third bedroom, getting it fixed up.
2. Installing six more windows.
3. Tore out painted paneling & the ceiling in our bedroom and sheetrocked it & painted it.
4. Replaced the siding on the north side of our house with Hardie Plank siding.
It’s slowly but surely getting updated.
Dave started a new job on Dec. 15, 2010 at Jeremy’s Body Shop in Sterling, KS (http://jeremysbodyshop.com/). It was a great move for him, and he’s really enjoyed it. Not only does he paint, he’s also gotten to do a lot more body & mechanical work.
I’m still working as a receptionist for the Oncology department at the Hutchinson Clinic. I love it – I love the patients and staff. Although I miss graphic design, this is probably the best option for another occupation that I could be doing!
This past summer, my mom’s side of the family had our family reunion that happens every two years. We had a blast hanging out with family that we don’t get to see very often. And then the next weekend, I was able to attend my 10 year high school class reunion. I can’t believe it’s already been ten years!
In August, we had the chance to take a little 3-day weekend getaway vacation, so we went to Kansas City! We were able to attend a KC Royals baseball game (my first), shopping at the Plaza/Legends/Crown Center, we went to the Nelson-Atkins Art Museum…it was a really good time. But any time with my hubby is a great time.
Dave and I have both been very involved with the Celebrate Recovery worship band at church this year. Dave plays drums and I sing…we’re there every Tuesday evening and we really enjoy it! If you haven’t heard of CR, check this out: http://www.celebraterecoveryhutch.org/
This is what has been the highlight of my year: I started my own photography business, TC Photography and Design!! This has been a dream of mine and it’s finally becoming a reality. So far, I’ve had 5 or 6 photo shoots since kicking this off in November. I’m loving it…hopefully my business will continue to grow!

We just celebrated our three year anniversary on December 13! It’s been the best three years of both of our lives. We truly believe that God blessed us both with the best spouse he could have. We love each other more than ever and become closer all the time. Marriage is truly a gift from God.
Well, we’re thankful for all of you! Thanks for checking out our 2011 Christmas letter! We hope you’ve had a good year as well and we pray for God’s blessing for all of you! We’ve truly been blessed with great family and friends.
Have a wonderful Christmas and happy new year! God bless!!
