Our First Annual Family News Letter.

This our first year together has been one full of new experiences; experiences of growing, learning, laughing, crying, praying and playing together; and of creating traditions for our new and growing family. One that we wanted to start was the tradition of a annual family news letter; especially with how fast life seems to pass us by we thought it would be a nice way to keep people updated and to share with friends and family a portion of our lives. So, without further delay, we present to you our first annual family news letter
Highlights from 2008

The two biggest highlights of this year were be our finding, courting, and being sealed to each other by Alan’s grandfather in the Mount Timpanogus Temple, and secondly the news of our first child being on her way.

We have also enjoyed having our first place to call our own, as well as being blessed to spend time with our families in living, work, and play.

Alan and I have helped found and been involved in both a web design company know as Yooweb and a university in Nauvoo, know fittingly as Nauvoo University. (We invite you to check both out online at www.yooweb.me and www.nauvoouniversity.com)

Life is going well and continues to give us many opportunities for the future. Alan returned to BYU this fall working towards a degree in math; and Jenny did distance studies with George Wythe University working to finish her sophomore year. The possible opportunity of Law School lead Alan to take the LSAT and score a 174 out of 180; though we both are currently liking the opportunity of Alan doing a masters in Math and then getting his doctorate in another field.

Together we have driven over 10,000 miles and read over twenty books; as well as started a new Halloween tradition and celebrated our first Thanksgiving and Christmas together and with our new families.

We love being married, including all the ups and downs, and we feel truly blessed. Our lives continue to take on new meaning and importance as we progress in the Father’s plan together, and as our family begins to grow. We appreciate all the love, support, and friendship which we have received from our families and friends and we feel to give thanks to God. May each of you feel of His love and rejoice in your blessings as you ponder upon this year.

Sincerely and with love,
The Alan and Jennifer Walton Family
