December 2006 Butler Christmas Letter
|
|
|
Seasons Greetings Everyone!
|
With all of the weather-related disasters that have hit the Great Pacific Northwest this
past November and December, including floods, rain, snow, ice, and wind storms,
along with prolonged power outages,
this letter is a little late in coming. Ah, the joy of living in the Puget Sound!
We hope you and your family are doing well, wish you all a wonderful holiday season, and hope you
enjoy perusing our annual Christmas letter. :)

And the Family Pets...
|
|
|
|
|
Fred, Melissa's cat, and Tuffy,
the family’s overgrown Pomeranian,
fighting over who gets to sleep in the dog bed.

Clarice, Fred, and Eleanor (all Melissa's cats) modeling their new sleep wear
while lounging about on Melissa's bed.

Kaiya (Courtney's cat) and Fred passed out after a hard night
of chasing mice on Melissa's front porch in Duvall, WA.

What's goin on with the Butlers?
|
Boyd and Jacque are keeping very busy with their businesses and various ventures.
Melissa is living in Washington state, and switched jobs, returning to Agile Software,
the software company she worked for in San Jose, CA. She also sold the house she bought in
2004 in Duvall, WA, and bought a place in Kirkland, WA this fall. Courtney moved from
Logan, UT up to Washington to live with Melissa while she is pursuing her
career in the Ecology-related field.
Bri still lives in his own 1-bedroom apartment in the basement of a
group home in Sandy, UT, and works part-time for Trax, the light-rail
transit system of Salt Lake valley.
Chris is living up with Melissa in Washington and is
attending school at a local
community college studying Computers.
BJ works for Boyd at Dr. Gas full-time and bought his first place, a condo,
in Murray, UT this past fall.
Love, The Butlers, the cats, and of course, who can forget Tuffy.
