ok so I never claimed to be a computer wiz, but I am generally pretty decent....well not today, so I cant get my programs to cooperate with me, so you dont get to see the cute paper, but below is our Christmas Letter. Some of you may get one in the mail, but we didnt have everyones address, and only sent out a few. But we wanted everyone to be included and know that you are loved and missed and thought of. So here is our Christmas letter....and Merry Christmas!
With Love from the Larsons Vol. 2
Hello and Merry Christmas!
We hope that this Christmas season finds all of you happy and well. We can not believe how fast time flies and that the year is already coming to a close. This year seems like it has gone by especially fast! 2007 has been very full but overall has been a wonderful year for us.
Eldon has been busy going to school at Chandler Gilbert Community college. He is still taking mostly general classes to get those out of the way. He has not yet chosen a major but is narrowing down options and taking various classes to explore the possibilities. He has done really well this past year and been at the top of all of his classes. Eldon also spent most of the year working part time for Stone Creek Furniture Factory as a Sales Representative. In November, Eldon changed jobs and is now working for 5 Star Window Care. Towards the beginning of 2008, Eldon will become a manager for the company and start to manage his own crew and learn the business. When Eldon is not at work or school or studying, he can generally be found washing his car, Bar-b-queuing on his new grill, or playing his beloved Xbox 360. Eldon has really enjoyed this toy, especially with the release of Halo 3 and Guitar Hero 3 this year.
Stefani has had a year filled with quite a few changes this year, specifically with work. She began the year with Life, Inc. as the Director of the Adaptive Living Adventures program. Unfortunately, the company began to lose funding and the program was cut. Stefani then ventured into the clinical side of therapeutic recreation and starting working for the Arizona State Veterans Home as a Recreation Therapist II. As much fun as this has been for Stefani this year, bigger and better things await her in 2008 as she returns to Parks and Recreation and begins a new job as a Recreation Coordinator II for the City of Phoenix Adaptive Recreation Program after the first of the new year. In addition to her full time job, Stefani still participates in the Chandler Special Olympics program as a coach and as a sign language interpreter. She also continued to work a bit for her previous employer, LIFE, Inc. working with babies with disabilities. Stefani has also found joy in her hobbies. Scrapbooking, crafting and decorating our home have kept her busy and entertained. With new technology and toys she has really been able to create some neat things.
We have really enjoyed this year as a couple. We celebrated our first wedding anniversary in August. We also moved from our small one bedroom apartment to a much nicer two bedroom condo. We are still renting, but it is nice to have more space and be able to spread out. This move also brought with it, a new ward, and new callings in the Young Men’s and Young Women’s programs and new friends. We have also embarked into the new fad of blogging. This has really been a fun way to keep in touch with friends and family. If you want to check out our blog, go to http://www.eldonandstef.blogspot.com.
We are sad to see 2007 go, but excited to 2008 and the wonderful opportunities that await. As we look back at this year we can not help but feel overwhelmed at how blessed we have truly been and we consider our friends and family to be at the top of the list or the things we are thankful for. We want to wish you a Merry Christmas and the happiest of New Years. We hope you know we love you and think of you often.
With Love,
Eldon and Stefani Larson
