2009 Christmas Letter

(For those who may not have received a Christmas card)


This really is the most wonderful time of the year! A time to spend quality time with family, friends, and loved ones. A time to reflect upon the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. A time to enjoy the beautiful, crisp outdoors. And a time to give!

I can't believe this year has already come and gone. We have kept ourselves fairly busy with school, work, and traveling in between. Texas has truly claimed a special place in our hearts over the almost two years. Bryan started his second year in Optometry School at the University of Houston. In May, he had the opportunity to travel to Honduras with a group of doctors and optometrists to do some volunteer medical service. He loved the experience and hopes to be able to go somewhere different next year! I've been working hard at Darnall Army Medical Center. The Mother Baby Unit's kept me occupied for a little over a year, but it's about time for a change. I hope to be moved in the near future to stimulate my mind a bit more. I've also decided to go back to school and get my Master of Science in Nursing Education; can't wait to start in January!

Bryan and I have been blessed with great friends and a loving Heavenly Father over the past year. It's hard living apart from each other, but we've learned to find joy in the journey. We sincerely wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy 2010!

Love,

Bryan and Rebekah Ahlborn
