Christmas in Texas...

This year, Ed and I spent Christmas in Texas. We had a great time visiting and hanging out with lots of family and friends. Here are a few pictures of our fun time. Hope your Christmas was as fun as ours!

Before we left for Texas, Ed & I put up our Christmas Tree and Christmas cards.

We stopped to see the lights in Grayson, TX on the way home.

Santa was even fishing on the lake!! How do they put lights on water?

Merry Christmas from The Wilbur’s

We are proud to present our first attempt at The Wilbur Family Christmas Newsletter. We’ve wanted to do a newsletter to all of our friends and family for Christmas in years past but felt we really had nothing to tell. This year however, has been very eventful, so we thought we’d give this “newsletter thing” a try.

This year, Edwin accepted a position in Oklahoma as a Concrete Mixer Driver. Accepting this new position presented us with the major goal of moving from Texas and finding a home in Oklahoma. Near the end of March 2008, we had all paperwork completed for our new home. April 2008 I (Tiffani), said goodbye to Texas as our home, and joined my husband in our new home in Oklahoma. We have enjoyed this inspired change in our lives. Ed has thrived in his position. He has been trained as the Relief Batchman, received several performance raises and promoted to a larger concrete mixer truck. I returned to work in June after a two month break. I accepted a position at a Waste company as the Scale Operator. I haven’t been there very long, but I’ve learned many, many things I didn’t know about this industry and look forward to learning lots more.

As the months have gone by, we have enjoyed all the projects of making our home ours with our own personal touches. Unpacking and decorating inside, putting in flowers, putting in a driveway, adding a patio, and building a storage building in the backyard, just to name a few. In an effort to add even further to our home, we are planning to adopt a child to into our family. Hopefully for the New Year 2009, we will look forward to being parents. Luckily, we’ll have grandparents, uncles & aunts, and nieces & nephews close for advice, assistance and play dates. With a child being added to our family, we’re hoping our Christmas Newsletters in years to come will be much more exciting.

Throughout the year, there are many changes and busy times in all of our lives, but we wanted to take a brief moment to say we are delighted that we have you as friends and family. Thank you all for your friendship and love.

Merry Christmas and have a prosperous New Year!

OOpppsss...I forgot to post these pictures!

I was looking through my camera the other night and thought, "Hey, I haven't shown these pictures?" So here's a few pictures from the past two weeks or so.

We put up Christmas lights!

Our house with Christmas lights

We put up Christmas lights on our house Friday and they look pretty cool. Ed thinks it looks like Halloween because they are all orange. Well,..I guess we have the "Nightmare Before Christmas" house. (I think it looks cool!)

No deer this year...

Sorry to report that today was the last day of deer season and we have no deer in our freezer.(sad face) Ed saw at least 4 deer and shot at 2, but no deer was brought home. That's ok though, better luck next year. Ed has plans to go wild hog hunting on a friends land, so hopefully we'll have tons of bacon and pork chops here soon!-lol
