Jonathan is
now more than one year in his new position at Cisco, Inc., having worked for 2
years in their computer lab before being promoted to their security networking
division. He sits behind a big desk with
4 large monitors, advising clients and assisting them with their technical
needs. Interestingly, the other dozen or
so advisors all have bachelors or masters degree. Jonathan is the youngest on the team, able to
sneak in with just an associates degree because of his knowledge and
experience. He continues to share an
apartment with 3 other Christian men.
Martha and
Philip are nearing the end of their first year of marriage, still very happy
and content. After working for 2 years
as an ICU nurse in Dallas, Martha will be leaving her job this month and moving
to Virginia to me near Philip’s family.
Martha wants to try pediatric nursing and hopes to work in a local
hospital while Philip continues his computer graphics and design work.
The flooding
last month in the Houston area disrupted Hannah’s life for a couple of
weeks. Although the house she shares
with a family barely stayed dry, many areas surrounding her did not. The George Ranch where she works had to do
major clean up after the waters receded.
Hannah may be changing jobs soon, but will wait to see what happens
before announcing that. She and Daniel
continue to grow in their friendship.
Sara and
Hannah spent a 5 day vacation together in and around Boston last week, visiting
historical sites and enjoying the autumn colors. They and Martha took a trip together a couple
of weeks ago to Louisiana for a weekend.
Sara is nearing 10 years now at her Neiman Marcus job where she works as
a graphic artist on their catalogues and website. Earlier this year, Sara moved into a house
with 2 other Christian ladies. When I
furlough next year in Ft. Worth for a year, Sara plans to stay with me.
David and
Andrea’s life is centered around Christy Joy, and for good reason. She is a beautiful baby (don’t all grandpa’s
say that). Andrea has recently resumed
teaching trumpet to high schoolers and David continues his computer programing
job at Texas Wesleyan University. About
once a month, Jonathan, Martha, Philip, Hannah, Daniel, and Sara come to David
and Andrea’s house for a family fellowship.
Well, I
suspect Jan occasionally peeks down from heaven’s window at her children and
smiles with pleasure at what she sees. I
know I am pleased, too, at what I see.

Christy Joy is a beautiful baby girl- know you'll be happy to meet her in person next year. Thanks for the update on all the family. Yes, Jan probably looks down on the family with great joy. Miss my Bob so very much but will join him in our heavenly home eventually.
