Christmas Letter 2006

Dear Family and Friends~ 2006

Just wanted to send all y’all a Christmas Greeting and let y’all know how I’m doing… Guess I should give y’all a basic rundown as to what has happened this year…
In February on the 27th I rescued a sweet little white puff ball that has now turned into a sweet and completely spoiled little puppy by the name of Serenity… She Graduated from k-9 University on the 14th of December and is now a much more behaved little girl…
Hero and Yui (my 2 kitties) are doing wonderful!!!! This summer they turned a year old and are still a handful!!! They had to live at the store/shop for awhile as my apartment complex was being a royal pain in the rear!!!!!!! I moved out of my apartment in February of this year due to some problems with management there… Mostly them changing my contract around, etc… But enough about that… on to happier things…
Serenity and I lived with mom and dad for a little while and John and Rachel for a little longer… until we moved into mom and dad’s old house in Firewheel while I was still looking for our new home… Happy to say that home was found just before Halloween after much searching!!!!!!!! (We were actually still working on moving in on that day!!!)
Hero, Yui, Serenity, and I all live in our new home and we are still working on the unpacking details… but the house is coming together nicely!!!
In July, I competed in a Taekwondo World Tournament in Las Vegas, NV… I placed 4th in the World for Patterns/Forms, but was to busy taking care of the injuries to compete in sparring myself…
In September, Serenity and I traveled with my Dad up to St. George, Utah to get Jaimi Hunt (one of my old college roommates) and bring her down to Texas… She is a Firefighter and an EMT-I looking to get on with one of the departments down here!!! Never have I seen someone study so much for a test!!! WOW!!!
Also in September we said good-by to a very dear and beloved friend… SAMUEL D. FOUGHT passed away on September 10th… many came to honor our friend… some came in garb (SCARBOROUGH FAIR FRIENDS)... many came in suits... but all loved this man and will miss him while he is away form us for a time… we shall see him again after the resurrection when our Lord and Savior returns to us… this time apart is just a brief moment without his friendship near… But we will be continued we again shall meet at Jesus’ feet, God be with you ‘til we meet again, my dear friend Sam. In November, we hosted our first Thanksgiving in my new house!!! My first turkey turned out GREAT!!!! (If, I do say so myself!!!) We had a wonderful time with the whole family!!! (Serenity even discovered what turkey was… I think she likes it a lot!!!)
And thus far in December has been a great month!!! We wish you all a wonderful day and a wonderful Holiday Season and a Merry Christmas!!!!

With much love and friendship,
Martha, Hero, Yui, and Serenity

Starting again

Howdy Everyone~

Sorry I haven't written in awhile... Things have just been very busy...
I'll try to update y'all in a blurp this morning...

I have 2 siemese cats that are just over a year old... 1 lab/Great Pyrenese puppy that will be 9 months old on the 27th of September... The cats are living at the store right now as I haven't closed on my house yet... I have been house hunting for awhile and I hope that I have found one that I should be closing on as soon as the paper work comes back from the VA... It is in Sachse... about .64 miles from John & Rachel and about 2.5 miles from my parents house...

I have a roommate right now... she is an old roommate from RICKS/BYU-I and she is a Firefighter/EMT... she wanted to get out of Utah so my dad and I went up to St. George to pick her up and bring her to Texas (the GREATEST STATE ON EARTH!!!!!!!)
She is planning on working for the Garland Fire Department, and will be taking her Civil Servants Test at the end of the month...

I'm not in classes right now... but I will be starting again as soon as I get settled into my house and de-junk my life a little bit... Think I am going to have to have a Garage Sale after I move into my house...

I will try to keep y'all updated better then I have been... I will start writing at least every Sunday evening...

Take care
Con Mucho Amor y Amistad
Martha
