The most wonderful time of the year is upon us yet again. We want to sincerely wish you and yours a very
Merry Christmas
and Happy New year. We also want to catch everyone up on our happenings over
the past year!
Perhaps the
biggest change happened in May/June when we sold our home of almost 8 years. It
sold very quickly, which was a blessing. It was hard to leave our beautiful
home, but we are excited for what lies ahead.
We are currently
very blessed to be able to live in G.J.’s parent’s house in Vernal while we
make a
final decision of
where we are going to build/buy/move.
G.J. has had an
incredibly busy year with his job. He played a large role in the design and
work of the IT/technology aspects of the new Vernal City Building. It is a
beautiful building and he truly loves his job there. He is currently a ward
missionary. He continues to be the best husband and father our family could
ever ask for!
Kandice is enjoying
living in a smaller home…which means less cleaning and work! She also quit
cleaning homes for her clients, which has freed up a lot of time to do other
things. For the first time in her married life, she is home alone while all 3
kids are in school. You would think that would bring boredom…but don’t
worry…she is very busy!
Hallie is growing into
a beautiful young woman right before our eyes. She is in the 5th
grade at the top of her class. She has also kept up with piano, and recently
made the swim team. That keeps her very busy for 3 days of the week. Other than
that-her love for animals, art, and her friends keeps her a happy little girl!
Gavin is slowly but
surely growing! He is getting taller…with longer arms and legs..but still our
skinny, tiny little guy. He is such a sweetheart. He is in 3rd grade
and he is truly enjoying his teacher and friends. He is doing very well. He has
recently started taking Karate. He loves anything to do with science, legos,
and Nintendo.
Kayler is in
Kindergarten this year. This was a step our family was truly afraid to take,
but our prayers have definitely been answered. He has a wonderful teacher and 3
wonderful aides that help him immensely. He is starting to read, and is so full
of life. His current obsession is Spongebob….and anything related to it. He is
constantly on the go, and keeps our family and all those who work with him
laughing with his special sense of humor and passion for life!
Our hearts are
full with gratitude for the good fortune in our lives. We have the gospel, G.J.
has a great job, and our kids are having great experiences at school and home.
We live in a beautiful, warm, and comfortable home. We have our health. We have
wonderful families and friends that we love and care about very much.
We love you
all…and wish you all the best.
With our Sincere
Love-G.J., Kandice, Hallie, Gavin, and Kayler Searle
And this is the Merry Christmas outfits Grandma Searle sent us.
Hope your season has been Merry and Bright thus far. Ours sure has.
