I promised a Christmas letter, so here goes:
Katie and I had a pretty big year this year. It started off with us buying our first house. We started this blog to kind of show the progress of the house as it was being built, and you can see pictures of it from along the way in some of our oldest posts. We moved in back in early March, and have spent many weekends since fixing it up and working on the backyard. The cats are happy to have a big backyard, even if it is only dirt at the moment, well, especially since it is dirt at the moment. We have plenty of room, so if you are ever in Arizona be sure to stop at Casa Wilken.
Scott is trying to make this the longest Christmas letter ever by rewriting about our travels, which are already blog posts, so I’ve stepped in to save you. You can read about our travels from this year on our blog. No big trip, but we have visited all over Arizona; to South Carolina to visit my family; to Illinois and Indiana over the 4th of July so that I could say goodbye to my childhood home (my mom moved to South Carolina to be near my brother). I got to go to Philadelphia for the American Planning Association’s national conference and Scott got to see his high school friends at the National Fencing Tournament in Tucson.
2007 has been a good year for us – a promotion for Scott; I took the AICP exam in November of 2006, so I finally got to use letters after my name beginning this year; we’ve been enjoying the Arizona weather and survived the hottest and driest Arizona summer in history. Scott wants to make sure you all know he has achieved Pro status on Wii bowling and placed 9th in a poker tournament at one of the local Casinos. Both of these accomplishments could not have happened without many hours spent practicing. Since I haven’t accomplished anything nearly that amazing I think we will end the letter there.
We hope you all have a joyous holiday season and wish you all a wonderful 2008!
Love,
Katie and Scott
