This has been an eventful year for us. We were living with Kim and Jeremiah in their basement, but as they have added to their family, we needed to give them more room and now live in the basement of Jill's parents' home.

Jill is working for a mortgage company and is moving up the ladder there learning new things in the mortgage field. She is doing very well in her job and has had several promotions. She is also taking classes via the internet.

Ben is still working for Arizona Tile, but has moved back outside instead of being in the office. I am going to school at the Community College and am working on a degree in pharmacy. I am working toward becoming a pharmacist. Now that I am no longer working in the office at Arizona Tile, I now have a more flexible schedule so that I can concentrate on my schoolwork and getting my degree.

We would like to wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!
