First, we wish everyone a Merry Christmas!
Our family is all well, and for that we are very grateful. Brian, Vicki, Evan, and Megyn all enjoy their jobs and have busy lives. Our oldest granddaughter Sara is in her second year of college and doing great. The Washington grandkids are enjoying high school, middle school, and kindergarten!

Lynn and I are having a quiet holiday season this year. We are spending time with our Fresno family and friends … for what may be the last time during the Christmas holidays (at least for a while). Late this last summer, we made the decision to live full-time in Washington. We will be selling our Fresno house in the Spring and if all works as planned, we will be departing for Washington by the end of May. Our plans are to purchase a home in Lynden, WA.

We’ve never lived anywhere other than Fresno (other than staying part-time in Washington over the past 10 years). Lynn was born in Fresno. My family moved to Fresno before my junior year of high school, so it is for all practical purposes my hometown, too. We raised our two sons in Fresno. We have enjoyed satisfying careers in Fresno during our four decades or so of working life. We have worshiped at College Church of Christ since 1980. Our extended families all lived (and some still live) in the Fresno area. We have friendships going back 30-40 years. So this move is not without some emotion.
Year 2016 will be exciting for us. New beginnings at our age? Hey, why not? It’s what feels right. We are sorting through years of “things” and have pledged to keep our life simple. No more worrying about where we will be in a year, 5 years, 10 … we are open to what the Lord has in store for us and will take each day as it comes.
I will try to be better about keeping this blog up to date … those that are interested can then keep up with our progress!
Have a healthy, happy, and blessed 2016!
Lynn and Robin
