Season’s Greetings! We are thankful for a year of opportunities and challenges. Mary and 4 of the children have been diagnosed with asthma but overall, we give thanks for our good health, and for the well being of our extended family and friends. Our prayers are with each of you who are struggling with various health/emotional issues.
Sean continues to work at JTA Architects in Park City. He has been blessed to have several clients who are braving the current economic downturn to continue with their projects. He has been lead architect for a custom ski-in/ski-out residential project in Deer Valley. There are 17 units, 5 of which have sold for 5-6 million each! Sean will be enjoying snowboarding for his 3rd year. He also took Mary on her first fly-fishing outing and a few rounds on the golf course.
Mary just completed a course to become a Basic EMT and has state exams soon. She has enjoyed her classes. She also became C.E.R.T. (Community Emergency Response Team) trained and has helped the police with some community events. She is still a Crossing Guard and Treasurer for 2D3 Inc. She enjoyed fishing and golfing with Sean. She also took up snowboarding and is enjoying the outdoor activities in the Wasatch Mountains. She and Sean really enjoy long bike rides together here in paradise. She again played women’s basketball. She had her 25th class reunion this summer in Iowa, and enjoyed visiting with old friends and family.
Jed and Jessica still live close. Jed is working for an Audio/Video company in Park City. He installs equipment in homes there. Some of the homes he works in are the same ones that Sean designs. He has also been in the homes of a few celebrities, which he finds quite cool. Jessica is working for the Dairy Keen and nearby Motel. Jessica’s highlight was catching a baby frog in Iowa this summer.
Jacob went to work for JTA Architects as a draftsman. He has become proficient in the same software that Sean uses and this opened the door to that opportunity. He is attending UVU as a student and is currently training to become a pilot.
Gillian is a Senior! She is looking forward to graduation and desires to become a massage therapist. She took up snowboarding as well. She worked at Jordanelle State Park in the summer (which gave us free camping at the lake, Yay!) She is currently looking for employment. She is doing after school tutoring at an elementary school in reading.
Jackson is in Jr high. He is a First Class Scout and will be a Life Scout (one away from Eagle) in January. He is on his 3rd year of snowboarding. He played soccer and baseball. He’s now playing basketball. He is taking a martial arts class at school and is an excellent student.
Joseph is a bundle of energy and much like Jacob was. Joseph took up snowboarding last winter, he has no fear, and took off on some trails that Dad wasn’t even ready to go on. He’s a Bear Cub Scout. He played soccer, baseball, flag-football, wrestling, and just started basketball.
Jonathan loves to draw and can often be found at the table coloring or creating some piece of artwork. He made a point to ask Santa for a snowboard, so he could follow after Mom, Dad and his brothers. He played soccer, baseball, flag-football, wrestling and will also play basketball.
Jeffery is in Pre-School. He was excited to start soccer this year. He also just completed his first wrestling season. He asked Santa for a snowboard, but that may have to wait a year or two. He really enjoyed snow tubing with Mom and some of his siblings last year.
Joshua is twice the bundle of energy Joseph is. He is adorably cute and a menace all rolled into one. He enjoys staying one step ahead of Mary creating mess and chaos throughout the house. He enjoys up rooting house plants. He is an excellent talker. He sings “We Will Rock You” and it is quite cute. During the spring and fall he enjoys when Mom takes him riding in the bike stroller with Jeffery.
Our family enjoyed their Williams Family Reunion with Sean’s family in Idaho. This was followed by a two week visit to Mary’s family in Iowa. It was a busy July, but nice to see family and friends. It was Jessica’s first time that far east and the Iowa humidity was a little challenging for a girl from the mountains.
This Fall Sean took the boys, and Mary once, to the BYU Cougar home football games. It was fun, and the boys enjoyed the opportunity to shake hands with players and get autographs.
We wish all of you a safe, spiritual and merry holiday season.
May the light of the Savior shine in your lives.
Love, The Williams Family
