- New Year's Day
2002
-
- Dear Family
and Friends,
- Well, since
most of you are on our email list, you pretty much know how 2001 went.
We'll go ahead and sum it up anyway for the non-tech people.
-
- Bret spent the
first 5 months of 2001 finishing Intelligence School at Goodfellow AFB in
San Angelo, TX. He was able to
drive home about every other weekend, though.
In May, our good friend Dr. Jodi got married to her boyfriend Tom.
Then Bret's mother, Mary, joined us after returning from a
"5-month around-the-world tour" in time for Bret's graduation.
- In June, Terri
finished another year teaching 2nd grade at St. Laurence Catholic
School in Sugar Land and taught another summer program for the 3rd
year in a row. Bret jumped
right back into work at Ellington Field in southeast Houston. The real fun began on June 29th.
First we took a 3 week, 5000-mile
road trip around the central and eastern United States visiting family
and friends in places like Hot Springs, St. Louis, New York, New Jersey,
Savannah, and Disney World, just to name a few.
We got back to Houston in time to rest and repack for our safari
in Africa. If you missed
the pictures the first time, be sure to check out our website.
Scott (Terri's brother) and John (who took us to Bora Bora and France
last year), along with 5 other adults joined us as we spent 3 weeks in
Tanzania and Kenya. Unfortunately
we had a 3 day layover in Amsterdam on the way back, which happened to fall
on Bret's birthday.
-
- When we got
back to Houston again, we were busy preparing for Terri's grandparents'
60th anniversary party.
It was a big surprise and was a lot fun with lots of out of town
family. Oh, by this time, Terri
would normally have been back at school teaching away.
Instead, she and her best friend Angela decided to turn their hobby
of faux finishing into a business called "Faux
du Jour". They have
been busy this fall with consultations and painting. In November, Terri was
matron of honor in Angela's
wedding. After Africa, Bret
went back to work at Ellington in the Intel shop.
After September 11th, he was activated and now works full
time with them.
-
- Our hobbies
still include going to the movies, napping, and being very involved with the
young adult ministry at church. Bret
designed the website for the group (www.sugaryams.com).
Terri is also busy with play rehearsal for the local community theater.
The murder mystery will take place in February.
Our daughter, Abby (the tortoise-shell calico cat) is also doing
well. She will turn 5 in a
couple months.
-
- We hope this
letter finds you in good health and happiness, and we hope you had a great
holiday season and Happy New Year!
-
- Love,
- Terri and Bret
