Update and I Need Birthdays & Addresses, Please

Hi everyone!!

I hope everyone had an amazing Christmas and will have a happy New Year! Could I please get everyone's address and birthdays? I would greatly appreciate it.

Peter and I went to Arizona to spend Christmas with Uncle John & Aunt Mary and Uncle Bill & Aunt Tammy. We had Chinese food on Christmas Eve, and Jennifer & Rudy joined us with their sons, Christopher and Roman. It was a lot of fun, and Peter and Uncle Bill played music until their fingers hurt every day.

We left Arizona, came home for a day to do laundry and check our mail. Then we went to San Diego to celebrate our 2 year anniversary early (since school starts for Peter and I couldn't take the time off work next week). We went to the Wild Animal Park on Friday, and the San Diego Zoo on Saturday. We stayed at the Lafayette Hotel down the street from the Zoo, and they upgraded us from our $79 room to a huge suite with a fireplace since they knew we were there for our anniversary. It was really amazing, and we had so much fun!!

I can't believe Peter and I have been married 2 years!! Time goes so fast!!! I am going to be teaching a CalCPA Financial Basics outreach class for the public in January, and I'm assigned to be a mentor for a new hire at my firm. She is a tax season intern from Cal Poly Pomona I'll be mentoring. I'm excited, but super nervous about it as well.

Peter got into a needed class, and is waitlisted for another class for Winter semester. Riverside Community College is known for the waitlisting and it is super hard to get any classes, so we are excited he is enrolled in at least one class for the shortened Winter semester. He'll register for this Spring semester January 17th. He'll only need a few more classes before he can get his Associates' degree, and his MIDI certification! We are so excited for that. I think he'll need to take a class in the Fall to get the MIDI certificate, but all the professionals he has spoken with say he should go for it. He applied to Cal Poly Pomona, and we are waiting to hear if he got in or not. He also made a 4.0 for this past Fall semester!! Straight A's!! And he was taking 16 units and working!

So there is a quick update on our lives. We love you all, and hope that your lives are exciting and wonderful! Please remember to give me everyone's birthdays in the comments. You can e-mail me your addresses. I have Greg & Heather's, and Tommy & Magi's address already, but need the birthdays.

MIDI: Musical Instrument Digital Interface

It is the reason recordings sound so much "cleaner" than recordings from the past, and why it takes artists a lot longer to release albums than it did in the past. It is pretty much how music and sound are recorded now, and is an industry standard :D

Thank you everyone for your dates so far! Keep 'em coming-- I have calendars to fill out! :D
