We sent out Christmas Cards last week, and of course, wrote our annual Christmas Letter. There won't be many surprises for those of you who've read my blog once or twice before, but for those who didn't get it, here's our annual Christmas letter:
December 2010
It’s hard to believe that another year has gone by and it’s time to write our Christmas Letter again. 2010 has been a year of ups and downs, and has left us a bit numb.
Our year began with a visit from Rob’s parents and sister, Sofia. His parents were with us for Christmas 2009, and stayed into the new year when Sofia came down to join them in a beach vacation while we watched their dog, MacGregor. We’re very happy that they spent the holidays with us last year, and Tolliver missed his play buddy when they left.
After a winter of record cold weather, March saw Scott onstage in the Moonlight Players production of The Odd Couple, which introduced us to a bunch of new friends. We soon found ourselves joining those friends in starting a comedy performance troupe called “Team Chelsea,” and have really enjoyed working with them on some projects; most notably a couple of well-received interactive murder mystery dinners. In July, Scott was featured in a local production of the musical Ragtime, and in October he performed in The Insanity of Mary Girard; while Rob returned to the stage for the first time in 15 years in a production of Shakespeare’s MacBeth. We’re really enjoying all the time we’re spending doing theatre; and are looking forward to more of the same next year. In fact we’re already in rehearsals . . .
In July, Rob’s mom and sister returned for a visit and a trip to Universal Orlando’s new “Wizarding World of Harry Potter”. We had a great time with them, and are very happy that they were able to make the trip out to see us. We managed to make it to Afternoon Tea at the Grand Floridian with them, which has always been a favorite activity when they’ve been in town.
In August, our friend Cat moved in with us, and will be our roommate for a little while. It’s been great fun having her and her dog, Wolfie living with us.
Sadly, on November 3rd, we suffered a devastating loss. We lost Rob’s mom to a heart attack while she and Rob’s dad were vacationing in Mexico. We flew to Lubbock to be with Rob’s family for the memorial service and to spend some time together. It’s been a very rough time for all of us. She will be missed every day, and remembered with love and laughter.
After a spending Thanksgiving with our “Florida Family”, as has become our tradition; we’re looking forward to a quiet and low-key Christmas and New-Year holiday.
Here’s hoping that this letter finds you well, and that 2011 will be a good year for all of us.
We send you warm wishes for Happy Holidays!
Love,
Rob, Scott and Tolliver
