Its October and I am so excited that the colors are changing and upcoming holidays are right around the corner! I had to think how to write about the numerous positive changes that have happened not to us necessarily, but to our close friends and family. I can report that after one day I have taken in the following great information with such gratitude to either god or to great karma. What I mean exactly when saying this is quite a few of our close friends and family have really been waiting for a positive new chapter in their lives and now they have finally reached it!!!
First off, congratulations to my close girls Jessie & Natalie!! I've been friends with Jessie through elementary school, on the high school dance team together, and friends after high school. She has been one of my closest friends who has been apart of many of my life's hardships over the last few years. Not only has she had her share, but I find that after going through our tough times she is one to get the praise for overcoming her obstacles. In one year she has accepted a great new job, gotten her self a new place to live, a new car, and overall a string of great changes that she's deserved for a long time. Way to go!! Natalie I met in college and she too has had her times of finding where her place is. Both friends of mine were both layed off the same time as I was last year and both have reached the the end of the dark tunnel and onto a great new chapter in their lives. I couldn't be happier for them as they have always been such great people who deserve nothing less!
Congratulations to my cousin Hans & his wife Margaret after waiting I think longer than a year to receive the great news they get to adopt their first child Tey (<--spelling?) from Korea. He is now 6 months old and they will be going to Korea to get him in just a few months. I believe we will get the chance to meet him over Christmas! Also my other cousin Aran & wife Nicole (Hans' younger brother) are also on the adoption waiting list too, so I pray that their wish is granted soon too! Hans & Margaret are such deserving parents and I have chatted with them on so many levels of what being adopted is like, I can only say that any child would be happy to have them as parents, I know I would. Another congrats to for them is that Hans had a problem called Atrial Fibrilation with his heart and under went a procedure just yesterday called Radio Frequency Ablation at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester. This was just a few days after receiving their wonderful news on Tey. The procedure had a scary turn for a bit, but my Uncle Bruce reported to us via email but all ended just fine :) Woof-dah!
More congratulations are to be given of course! Two other couples that are best friends with Mark and I have almost reached the closing of their new homes! It is such an exciting feeling for our friends to go onto the step of being homeowners. I can only say that I'm saddened our friends the Bonines will be moving further away, but Sara & Adam have been married for over two years now and a home will complete them and their child Homer! :) Our other friends Dan & Sara will be moving just into Bayport so they will be nice & close and can't wait to start making memories at their new home too!
One more :) Congratulations to Aimee & Trevor (Mark's cousin & wife) for their second child on the way! Their first daughter Taylor just turned 1 in August and baby Great-Grandchild #2 for the Thompson is on its way!!!
I have to send some news on us of course!! Last weekend we were able to attend the Twins game in a Suite, it was awesome!! We were invited by Holly & Kevin to join and met Kevin's (Mark's Mom's boyfriend) daughters Jenni & Kristen. It was a really a pleasure to meet after a few years of Holly & Kevin being together. Kevin has really been a great friend to Mark and I and to meet his daughters was great!! Can't wait to see you ladies again soon!
Ah...what a great blog to report about these people in our lives!! They have deserved all of this for a long time and Mark and I couldn't be more happier for them!
Congrats to all!
Luv Mark & Sara
