2007


New Years is not our favorite holiday as it always seems anti-climatic. However this year we spent some time reflecting this past year as it has been both significant and full. RECAP: We traveled to New York, New Jersey, Las Vegas, Hawaii, Michigan & California. Jess graduated graduate school from UCLA and became a certified pediatric nurse practitioner. We celebrated our first wedding anniversary. We said goodbye to the last decade of our lives in California and moved to Denver, CO. We both started new jobs. We have both made new friends and are truly happy in the life we are creating in Denver. Everyday we recognize the good things in our lives and do not take any of them for granted. 2007 was also a year of incredible heartache and stress. We attended the funerals of both of Jess's grandparents, Matt's grandpa had a stroke, Matt had his own health scare this summer, Jess experienced more stress than she had ever known finishing up grad school and driving over 500 miles a week, & we learned marriage is hard. However the experiences of this past year taught us the resilience of the human sole and the fragility of everyday. We enter 2008 with a stronger bond and a greater love than we had a year ago. Happy New Year!

Merry Christmas

Its hard to believe its Christmas eve. December was a busy and full month for us in Colorado that truly flew by. We flew to Michigan last week for Christmas with the Jehle's and are having a good time. Dinner parties, seeing old friends, sporting events ect..

We want to wish each one of you a very happy holiday: where ever you are and however you celebrate. One of my favorite things about this season is holiday cards. Thank you all for thinking of us and giving us a glimpse into you lives. We live far away from many of you now and we miss you. May your holiday season and all of 2008 be filled with joy and love.
All our best, Matt & Jess
