We hope that our inaugural Christmas letter finds you in the
best of God’s blessings. To say the least, 2011 was eventful. We started the
year with the rigorous P90X workout routine, seeing more of Tony Horton than we
ever expected. It worked and we were in great shape.
In March, we travelled to New Mexico where we relaxed and
saw Albuquerque; dined and shopped in Santa Fe; and snow
shoed in Taos.
Jen married Brody Gregg in April. Perfect weather, scenic
background, and lots of family and friends contributed to a beautiful week.
Paul’s cousin, Wanda, stopped overnight for her son’s
graduation in May, and then we saw her again – and lots of other cousins,
family members and friends – in June, when we travelled to Pennsylvania to
visit Ed and Ilonha. It was Cindy’s first time in Pittsburgh, Canton
(to see all of those Steelers in the HOF), Niagara
Falls, and Ontario, where we spent a few days touring and tasting wine.
In August, we celebrated our First Anniversary.
Shortly thereafter, Cindy retired from the Lawrence Livermore National Lab after 32 years.
Paul left his post at Berkeley Food and Housing
Project. In September, we moved to North Texas to be closer to Cindy’s
parents, Tom and Peggy Harmon.
After a month of job searching, Paul found a position at World Neighbors in OKC. … That is how we ended up in Edmond. Within
our first week, we felt two earthquakes, and experienced hail and
thunderstorms.
In November, Matt returned from Iraq, where he served our
country since February as a member of the US Army Infantry. We are thankful to
God for his safe return.
In between, we poured and tasted wine; vacationed at Pismo
Beach and camped at Lewiston Lake.
Sports fans – We saw two Pirates games in Pittsburgh and San
Francisco, an NHL game in San Jose, an AHL game in OKC, and the Cal-UCLA
Women’s BB game in Berkeley. We kick started our fitness lifestyle through Beachbody.
The animals have settled in to their new surroundings.
Lindsey enjoys daily walks, knowing that she is the most adorable dog in OK.
Buddie scaled new heights, until we had to fetch him from the roof. Winnie’s
favorite spot is where ever Paul’s lap is.
We keep you in our prayers as we celebrate Christ’s birth
and hope that 2012 is filled with God’s blessings.
Love,
Paul and Cindy Cwynar
