LIFE (Out of Control)


I've long been annoyed by individuals who give unsolicited and unabridged accounts of their lives, so I'll keep this brief: Life is good overall albeit very hectic and seldom dictated by my will. Aeden and Eliza animate our home with purpose, laughter, spit up, and diarrhea. Our days at University of Michigan are winding down as I grit my teeth and narrow my eyes at the last flaming hoops between here and graduation. My hairline continues to charge rearward. We are penciling a 4 year career with the Indian Health Service in New Mexico into our life planners. Cross your fingers for us.  Merry Christmas.

Congrats on a job and the prospect of Graduation! JD graduates in April... no job yet, but we are working on it. If Provo is on your way (and we're still here) we'd love to see you guys. Merry Christmas.

Thanks for the update! Its torture knowing you all are so close by....the holidays are hectic and I know I would be stealing Christmas away from your family by visiting! We will be in Michigan all of January...plan on a visit then. Hope your vacation has been swell. Good luck with the job in New Mexico.

I'm excited for you guys to graduate! We'll have to meet up somewhere in the middle (Lake Powell for some kayaking??) and hang out.

Hope you guys survive the winter :)

Hmmm, so I take it you are against the double sided, small print, letters some people like send out in lieu of a Christmas card with a lonely impersonal signature scribed inside? (I'm with you though. I like something in between.)

Just wanted to say:
It was good to see you guys over the break...and good to catch up. Hope things work out this year for you all!

Sorry we missed you this christmas. As the family grows (and coughs, colds, flu...), our time between visits does too. Excited for you two to be moving on soon. New Mexico will be a rewarding experience. Your children are beautiful.
