Dearest Family and Friends,
As we have reflected on this year, we
are humbled by all of the wonderful things we have been blessed with.
It has been a great year for us and we have so much to be thankful
for.
Greg- In January Greg had his Music
Composition Recital at UNLV. Many of his pieces that he had composed
over the last two years were played. It was a very rewarding and
beautiful experience for us. In May Greg graduated from UNLV with a
master's degree in Music Theory and Composition. Although he has a
deep love and passion for music, in August he got a new job as an
Educational Advisor at Nevada State High School. To us, this job was
a tremendous opportunity and answer to prayer. He really enjoys
working with the students and has learned so much while being there.
Haley- Last February we felt strongly
to stay in Las Vegas and decided to buy a home here. It has changed
our lives to be homeowners, but we really love having the extra
space, especially since I am expecting our second child. We will be
having another girl at the end of January. It has been a good
pregnancy so far and we feel so blessed to be able to have another
child. About the time that Greg got his new job, I got offered a
position as a substitute teacher at Nevada Virtual Academy. It is an
online school here in Nevada, so I get to work from home. So far, it
has been a very rewarding experience.
Emily- Emily turned two last May and
continues to amaze us with what she knows and understands. She loves
to sing songs, read books, draw, dance, and paint. I guess she is a
typical girl. She is so excited to get a little sister and has
already told us that her name is Kylie. I guess we'll see about that.
We are grateful for our Savior, Jesus
Christ and this time of year to reflect on His birth. We wish you all
a very merry Christmas!
With Love,
The Burrs
