Merry Christmas to all our family and friends.
The truth is this year I did not write a Bowlby family Christmas letter!
This is our card for the year. I have to say I like this Christmas card design,
The last three years of cards have had the same design, with different photo's and different
colors for the background, but the Christmas tree shape is the same. I love "Shutterfly"!!
The last 7 months have been very busy for me, and I decided that most people who
I sent a Christmas card to would just get the card and no letter.
A few people got a small personal letter on the back of their card.
So here is what our family has been doing in 2021..
Here we are last winter. We did a lot of outdoor dates because you can
be mask free outside. I was thinking last winter we were all excited because soon
there would be a vaccine and we would be mask free by July. Here we are in
December and still wearing masks, I'm getting ready to sign up for the booster vaccine, but
even with that you still need to wear a mask. I was promoted where I work this past spring.
I love my job. I enjoy all the aspects of my job and I enjoy working with the people in
my little department. When I am not working I spend my time going on dates with my husband, and
doing photography. I got a new fitness bike this August and just love my new fitness program.
2021 has been a good year for me, I feel blessed.
We celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary.
We had 25 love songs for 25 years of marriage.
Jim had a nice year of fixing old cars, and visiting with friends,
he even went to New Jersey to visit family and friends.
He is still working for the same company and has a lot of friends at work.
Both of our children are doing excellent in college.
It was nice for them to actually have classes on campus.
Our daughter is double majoring in Business and Japanese.
Our son has not selected his major yet.
He really wants to be in an animation program, and
while he did excellent in his classes, he was not
chosen to be in the program, he is trying to get in again.
He for now is studying language translation.
Our little family has been blessed these past two years.
We have had our health, we have had jobs, we have
had time together. Our little world is full of light and laughter.
There is a Perfect Present, it is not being in the past or looking into the future.
It is living in the moment.
I am thankful for the great gift of the Savior and the light he gives to all of us.
I hope you all take time out of your busy lives to stop and think of all your many blessings this Christmas.
Merry Christmas
From the Bowlby family.
