Dear Friend
,
What a wonderful year this has
been!! There are so many things for
us to be thankful for I don't know where to start. First, we are
thankful
for all of our friends and
family. It would be hard to imagine life
without you. Second, we are thankful for each other and
for the amazing
experiences we have encountered this year.
On November 30, 2002 Mark offered me the
greatest gift of all...forever
with him. I took it, of course, and we set
out to plan the date. Our
first decision was December 31, 2003. We stuck with that for
a while but
we weren't doing anything to prepare so we moved it to May of 2004.
Well,
that was too far away, so in April we decided that we
were going to get
married in two months. We crammed what should have been months of
planning
into just a few weeks. Finally, with lots of help from friends and
family,
we got everything done.
It was a beautiful sunny summer day, June
21, and Sharon, my maid of
honor, and I were frantically trying
to get the flowers cut...bouquets
finished...get our dresses steamed and make our hair appointments!! Mark
was
"frantically" playing
video games...drinking coffee...playing video
games...riding around with the top down...getting sunburned...and playing
video
games! Everything went wonderfully! After we said
"I do" and the party
was over, we spent a relaxing night at the Hyatt on Town
Lake. We got up
the next morning and headed for Galveston. We spent a
week cruising the
Caribbean...seeing things we have never seen before. Spent days on
the most
beautiful beaches that we have ever seen...even prettier than pictures!!!
We
were truly in paradise...coming back to reality was hard. We
did, however,
have many things to look forward to before life went back to normal...wedding
gifts, wedding pictures, honeymoon pictures and thank you notes!!!
After all the relaxing was over we began to
start our lives together.
We decided to sell the house. After a few months on the market and
no one
seeming interested in it,
we took it off.
With months of
cleaning...painting...rearranging, packing and
unpacking the house looks
wonderful! There are a few more
things left to do before we are
completely satisfied, but for now it is home.
I started a new
job in September working in the office at Doss
Elementary. This is especially neat for me because as a
child I went to
Doss. The people are great, and for once I am looking at a career and
not
just another job. Mark has started his 3rd year at Wireless Retail
(where
we met)...he is still looking for a better more challenging career.
Our lives have changed so much over
the past 12 months...we are truly
happy and so glad that we have so many people to share this happiness with!
We hope that you have a wonderful holiday season and a terrific
2004! We
love you all!
Mark and Stefanie Boyle
