Merry Christmas
We just
wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas! We long to be with you on
this very special day, but unfortunately we are 10,000 miles away.
Right
now, it is 10:23 pm December 25, 2007 on the
Our
Christmas is winding down but yours is just beginning.
We got
up this morning at about 8:30 and proceeded to open presents. Courtney
gave Roger a new press pot and some Starbucks coffee; so we enjoyed some
delicious “Christmas Blend” coffee this morning! It was
great! We enjoyed our freshly brewed coffee in the super cute coffee cup
and saucer set Roger got Courtney (also from Starbucks).
We ate
some blueberry muffins for breakfast and then Courtney had to cook Macaroni and
Cheese for a Christmas party we went to. It was the first time she made
it from scratch and it was wonderful.
Then,
while Santa was delivering your presents, we went to a big Christmas lunch with
all of our team members and some other “workers” in our city.
We had fun and we ate turkey for the first time in a year. The natural
chemical that’s in turkey that makes people sleepy had a profound effect
on Roger and left him in a comatose state for the rest of the afternoon.
Now we
are at home, thinking of all our family and friends in the States, hoping and
praying that you are enjoying a blessed Christmas Day. We miss you all so
very much and wish that we could be celebrating with you.
We’ve
attached some pictures chronicling the day’s events.
We love
you and miss you,
Roger and Courtney
