Merry Christmas to our Friends, Family and acquaintances in and through the world wide web…
Once again our Christmas letter will be making an appearance on our ‘not so often updated’ blog! However, our good intentions will remain intentions!
I’ve posted some pictures of our family, and our summer vacation to Roseville, CA, the ocean & the Redwoods! It was an amazing vacation that we are so thankful we were able to take.
Brad has celebrated his 3rd year with Almaco in Nevada, still doing maintenance and repair, and whatever else is asked of him. Brad & I will be celebrating our 15th wedding anniversary in January and can’t believe how the time has flown.
Courtney graduated high school TODAY 12/22/2011!!! She will walk across the stage and receive her diploma with her class come May. We are so proud of her! Her college classes start on January 10th, so her little ‘break’ won’t last very long! She’ll be taking a photography course and a marketing class. She’s excited and nervous all at the same time. We are so excited and proud of her! Brooke is half way through the 7th grade! It’s crazy how time flies! She has an amazing memory and is really blessed to be able to retain what she learns. Taylor is half way through 5th grade, and thoroughly enjoys being the teacher, or just the person in charge! She is a real ‘go-getter’ and a very hard worker! Ashley is in the 3rd grade and I just so happen to be her tutor in our Classical Conversations Homeschool group which meets once a week, and Katrina is in 1st grade and is loving learning! My ‘baby’ is getting so big and is not such a little baby anymore! It’s a little sad, but it’s also very fun!
I am still teaching the girls at home and have so much fun with them. What a blessing it is to be able to talk to them about how much Jesus loves them and come alongside them and instruct them in all different areas of their life, as well as really get to know them all individually. They are so similar and yet so very different! We are truly blessed.
My newest adventure since October has been becoming an Independent Mark Kay Consultant. I know some may laugh, however it’s a perfect fit since I am already in the ‘beauty’ business, it just makes perfect since! I’ve also already won prizes for being in the top 5 for the quarter sales! So, if you would like to know more about selling Mary Kay, or need any products, please ask me! I am having a lot of fun and making some extra cash is a very nice bonus as well!
Have a blessed Christmas celebrating Jesus’ birthday…
Much love, Stephanie for the Mehmen family
