2024

@jason

Why are we doing this again?

@linda

It was YOUR idea!

@jason

Whatever…

@linda

Well, what should we write?

@jason

Remind everyone it was our 20th wedding anniversary? Twenty years. Wow.

@linda

Right! But we celebrated with a wonderful trip back to Victoria, B.C. where we got married, and we got to visit Aunt Deb and Ann. And we saw our friends Tom and Jenny and their kids. Other than the people, I think the highlight was that pair of whales we saw breaching on our whale watching trip.

@jason

That was crazy!

The nephew just wrapped up another successful semester here at UT. Sunday dinners are so nice.

@linda

So nice, but we’re gonna have to discuss the food budget for next year.

Although I do suspect all my good cooking is fueling all Bridger's learning.

@jason

You are truly fueling the engine of knowledge. You know, it was a big year for Dr. Aunt Linda.

@linda

Camp Dr. Aunt Linda was so much fun this year. I cannot wait to see where Aspen decides to go to school!

@jason

Both the niblings in college! And geez, you won the Vick Advising award, and your Reacting to the Past game book grows ever closer to publication. Need I even mention Willow and all the horse show ribbons?

@linda

Oh, you must. Willow insists. I mean, the year has been pretty stellar. But Willow worked really hard going over all those jumps so we could win all those prizes at our local horse show circuit.

@jason

I leave it to way smarter than me to say which is harder to get them to do what you want: a college kid or a 1000 lbs horse.

@linda

Food seems to motivate both of them pretty well.

We made some pretty great meals in 2024.

@jason

You made some really great meals in 2024. But Easter with Bridger and Mom and your Dad was pretty awesome.

@linda

And I can’t remember what we ate, but I know it was delicious. Thanksgiving was great again with your Mom and my Dad here. Having him just 3 miles down the road means we can focus on the eating and not the traveling.

@jason

And indeed, that should be the focus. I’m so glad Mom doesn’t mind too much having to do the traveling part. Still crazy to me that she moved just around the corner from the old house in Plano. But it’s hard to get her down here and away from all her new friends up there.

@linda

Who’d wanna miss Winddown Wednesday?

@linda

Do you think your brother will be mad we put him on our holiday card?

@jason

Jeremy? In that jacket? I don’t think so.

And Nicole just got the perfect pic. Like my sister-in-law always does.

We would like to take a moment to remember our beloved friend Gordon Ford who passed away this year.

We love you, Bubba.
