2006 has been a year full of trials, tribulations, lots of prayer, joy, blessings, new friends and new family! Corbin James Garcia ( nephew) joined us in January, we finished up Apartment Life in June, got plugged in with a new Community Group and continue to grow in our marriage and relationships with family and friends! One thing has remained consistent through this past year and that is the overwhelming peace of Christ!
Ok, so what's new?!?!? I (Jill), started a new job at the end of August at Dallas Semiconductor/Maxim. They make analog semiconductors, I don't really know what those are, but I'm learning! I am the Executive Admin for the Director of the Automatic Info Business Unit. The people are wonderful, the atmosphere is amazing, very relaxed and down to earth. I work with about 50 engineers so it does stay interesting (I'm learning engineer language, but it's coming very slowly!). Aaron is still working as a contractor for Accenture, contracted at Celanese, an Oil & Gas company here in Dallas. There are possibilities of some great opportunities for him this coming year, so we're praying for the Lord to lead and guide our decisions. WE SOLD THE VOLVO!!! For those of you who don't know, we've have two very hard years with the Volvo and for four months had been trying to sell it. The Lord provided in amazing ways throughout those four difficult months and through a series of events, we have sold the Volvo and now have my parents old Camry and my Camry, both paid for!!!
2007 is going to be a great year, there is no doubt in my mind! We're setting some pretty lofty goals and look forward to being disciplined to meeting those! Getting out of debt is #1!! We're prayerfully, about 8 months out and I am definitely counting down!! The Lord continues to provide for us in ways we could never imagine and continues to show his love and faithfulness to us as long as we are following him.
I have started a new hobby, a passion actually and look forward to the possibility of starting my own company in 2007. I have picked up the art of handmade greeting cards! It's almost an obsession, but I have not let it take over my life, yet! Right now it consists of occasion cards that I'm sending to friends and family. I've recently purchased a Cricut (www.cricut.com), actually last night and have already had a blast figuring out everything it can do and dreaming of the ways it could boost my cardmaking skills!!
Aaron recently bought the xBox 360 and is fully enjoying it! He's already beaten the first game he purchased! He continues to enjoy the computer stuff but has not really done much with his business lately, although 2007 might be a good year to pick that back up as well!
We pray that your 2006 has been a true blessing filled with the joy of the Lord, and pray the same and much more for 2007!! I'll add pictures after Christmas! Good Bless You, and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Love Aaron and Jill
