The Year at a Glance - 2008
As you can see from our card, we had a busy year. The two major events included the marriage of Lindsey to Brandon Harper and the birth of Annie Sue Peterson. Other happenings:
Bethany graduated from residency, moved to Katy, passed the board exam for Ob/Gyn, and gave birth to Annie all in the same month – just a week before Lindsey’s wedding. Yep, she’s wonder woman. (and Mabel loves her little sister!)
Ryan’s big announcement this year is that he and Brianna are expecting their first child in April of next year. They’re decorating the room in a surfing theme, so here’s hoping it’s a boy, or dude, they’ll be painting a pink surfboard. He’s also enjoying his job at Chevron.
Brittany takes the prize for most stable job – teaching physics in our nation’s capital. She loves her students and she claims they make her look good. I think it’s the other way around. Since her job is safe, she’s enjoying the economic slow-down with all the great bargains.
Ashley is staying busy in Dallas, same great job, same firm. She’s currently taking prerequisites for grad school, which she plans sometime in the future. For now, she’s enjoying spending her money traveling the world.
Carrie is at two kids and holding. She holds down the fort while Shawn “tends (pretends) to be doctor” as 2-year-old Caroline puts it. Carrie spends most of her spare time baking and exercising, hoping one will cancel out the other. Must be working – she looks fabulous!
Lindsey is our newlywed college student, along with her hubby. Great time to be in school! She gets free food at her campus job, and he is a do-it-yourselfer - he even bakes bread every week. Lindsey will graduate next year, but Brandon is double-majoring, so he will take a little longer.
We cherish our family and friends, and wish each of you a beautiful Christmas season.
Please preview the above letter, which will be sent with the Christmas card. (Please see my shutterfly projects). Any objections, changes, comments, suggestions must be posted prior to Carrie mailing out the cards, which will be in about one week. I'm very open to feedback.

i signed into your shutterfly account and could not find anything.
I couldn't find anything, either.
My section looks fine.
You probably used the wrong e-mail. I use my hotmail account. susan_reed_md@hotmail.com
pink surfboard is out. also, i think it should say it is a boy since it is official.
um, i think it would make a lot more sense to have a picture of lindsey with brandon, since he's the one she was marrying.
The picture IS of Lindsey and Brandon, as well as the rest of us. ANyway, the card has been printed and paid for. But good point. I should have had you as my card consultant.
