Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays from our happy little
Carrboro home! We've had a good 2007 here, there,
and everywhere. The year was off to a quiet start with the exception of Alex's 30th
Birthday! In April, we joined
Bill and Steph
for the guys' B-Day celebration in
Mexico.
We were traveling again in June, spending a week in
Oregon with
Sara and Matt Cenal and friends.
A couple of weeks later, we headed to Pueblo and Denver to
visit with
Carolyn and Brice
and attend Servantstock -
the 20th Anniversary of the
Urban Servant Corps.
The next week found us helping Susan and Thomas move to Hickory, NC. July was fairly
calm, although we had to say goodbye to
Anna as she headed off to
Mali, West Africa,
to serve in the Peace Corps. At the end of July, we spent a nice weekend in New York
City with Jean and Brooks Leonard.
September found us in Wilmington and at the beach to celebrate our
first anniversary,
and Emma spent a beautiful October weekend in
Asheville with some close
gal pals.
We weren't worn out yet, though, and took the
week of Thanksgiving off. We stopped by
Skip and Cinda Gadd's
home in West Virginia
and rode in the experimental Pietenpol airplane and then continued on to Troy, Missouri
to spend the holiday with the
Kunzas.
We'll stick around NC in December, spending
some time relaxing at the Creek.
Alex continues to enjoy his job at iContact,
which is growing by leaps and bounds.
He also traveled to a few web conferences, once to Austin (South by Southwest) and
twice to Boston (including during the World Series). Emma left her development job
at UNC Wesley
in August to gain more experience teaching sexual violence prevention
programs. She continues working for FVRC
and went through 50+ hours of training to
volunteer with OCRCC.
We really like living in Carrboro. We walk across the street to the farmer's market
every weekend (when we're home!) and shop for organic and locally produced food at
the Weaver Street Market co-op.
We cheered on the Tar Heels during March Madness
and attended some fun theme
parties
with Anna and her roommates. We've been running
and exercising as much as we can (minus the month of 95+ degree weather over the summer)
and trying to save water during this severe drought. Alex recently bought some ice
skates and is excited about taking some hockey classes next year, so we've been skating
a few times to warm him up. It's been great to spend much of the year hanging out
with family and friends; we can't wait to see what next year brings!
Now take a look at our year in pictures!
