Dear Friends December 2010
We hope this Christmas letter finds all our friend’s households sound and in good shape. Kari and I are holding it together despite the aches and pains of scratching at the age of 60. We didn’t send a letter out last year (life just got too complex) so I will try to catch you up on the past two years worth of family chatter. Kari is working as the Executive Director at the local United Way office. We made our annual trip to Norway this year and enjoyed time with all the family over there. We took a few side trips by mostly spoiled the grandbabies. I continue to work on the China Lake Navy Base as a Computer Scientist.
We enjoy our role as grandparents to 10 and two halfs grandbabies.
Frank works as a Computer Specialist and his wife Jeni works in the ICU at our local hospital. They are here in Ridgecrest and had a baby girl named Grace Alyn in March 2009. And she is a cutie. They also have a son Caleb who is seven years old.
Tim finished an 18 month tour in Tokyo for his company. He works for RedHat as a Business Analyst and got married in June 2010 to the beautiful Heather.
Cameron got married to Gina and is serving a 12 month tour in Baghdad in the Army as a Computer Specialist. They are expecting and she is due in June of 2011.
We don’t see Heather and Nikki, but we know Heather had a baby girl in the summer. Nikki has a daughter Spohia and is expecting her second child and is due any day now. We see granddaughter McKenzie on a regular basis and it is fun to watch her grow up into a young lady.
Naomi and Terje in Norway had a girl two years ago named Linnea and have a five year old son named Jacob. Naomi recently started working at a local school. Terje works as a manager in a home decorating store.
Belinda and Jerry are trying to start a family and enjoying living in Houston, TX. Jerry works on the Space Shuttle as an Aeronautical Engineer and Belinda works as a Hair Dresser with a sizable clientele
Glenn and Christy moved to Norway and just had a baby boy named Julian. They have a two year old son named Niko.
Miriam and her husband divorced several years ago, and she has now met a wonderful man named Morten. They are living in Norway and are getting married in June of 2011. Morten is looking forward to being step-father to five year-old Sebastian.
Allen took his discharge after three and half years in the Army after serving 15 months in Afghanistan on the front lines. He is working at our local Staples and his girlfriend Sara works for Kari as an Administrative Assistant. As a result, we see quite a bit of them.
All in all our health is good and Kari and I are still madly in love with each other and love our time without any kids living at home. I was in the hospital in the spring and Kari continues to battle Fibromyalgia.
We hope and pray that you have good health and are happy with your lives. We think of our friends often and miss you all on a regular basis. God bless you all.
Bob and Kari
