Jingle Bells!

We hope everyone has a wonderful holiday season in store! We have big plans! BIG, BIG plans!! Well, mostly they include traveling to see our friends and family and eating lots of good food and maybe catching a football game or two, but the thing we are MOST excited about is 2008! and everything the year has in store! Our life and a bit of our outlook changed recently on our return from Greece. What, why, how you say...??? Well lets start in the beginning and we'll end in well 2008...

1. We are celebrating a wonderful event this year-Krista's mom's birthday (it's a good one) as she has made every single one of Karen and Kristas' birthdays as special as they could possibly be, they figured it was their chance to turn the table and so it has turned it to a year long celebration!!!! Happy Birthday Year Mom!
2. Krista started teaching at her job in the VA, this is something she's been wanting for months, make that a year now, so this was a happy start to what she hopes will develop into a very rewarding job
3. Thanksgiving, gobble, gobble! we had a great celebration with the Thomas Family and Krista's mom, we even got to see Jason's parents and brother Phil for a quick visit-made it even more special!
4. Krista, Karen & the birthday girl got to celebrate with style, in the city that never sleeps-Las Vegas! The highlight was seeing Celine Dion in the 1st of her last 10 performances in LV!! Would love to tell you more-but you know the deal!
5. Jason got a new JOB!!! With a fabulous new practice in San Luis Obispo! We were so pleased when we got to meet the whole office staff at their holiday party last week-great group! And Jason's 1st day went SPLENDIDLY!
6. Christmas-we're going to the Bay Area to see the fam. and hopefully catch up with some old friends; It is always wonderful to see Jason's family and we miss the Bay Area like no other and so-nuff said!
7. Right after Christmas more family fun-this is the really exciting part-AND we get to meet our new COUSIN ISA!! We're so excited to see Krista's Uncle Jeff & Aunt Jackie-but especially excited to see their new baby girl!!
8. Happy New Year!!!
9. SO many events in 2008 we couldn't possibly list them all but here are some of the highlights:
-Camping scheduled for President's Day Weekend-took a little coordinating, but should be big fun!
-Jason's parents' 40th anniversary!! Great celebration, great family trip!
-Trip up north (way overdue) to Krista's Dad's place and the county Jason & Krista got ENGAGED!!
-Andrew Mick and Julie Flettner WED!! We hope we can make this one, but our dance card is filling up quick and it's ALL THE WAY in MAUI, but it is in MAUI sooo...
-Jordan/Martin/Thomas/Chang Family Vacation (also long overdue) planned for Hawaii
-Last but NOT least AIDS RIDE 2008 June 1-8!!!; This is where Jason & Krista ask you to kindly check out the homepages on the right (simply click away) and seriously think about your love for us, support for medical research, tax write offs, and general good will. In the end we think you will support us, we really think you will...

We love you all and to all a good night!

Wow, what a great post. So much info. You have had such an exciting year, and I hope this next one gets even better.
P.S. Hope you can squeeze in a little time for the Duffields when you come visit your dad :)

LOVE your year and what a positive neat way to send your greetings! Love you--my plan in 2008 is to hopefully get to see you and Jason at some point either coming or going!!
Have a wonderful and blessed new year--and wish your mom a belated special birthday for me!
