Well, better late than never, eh? We (and by “we” we mean “Ralph”) did not get around to writing the holiday letter in December but, for the purpose of keeping track of things from year-to-year, we figured we still write one for the (very small) handful of people who actually read this!
Natalie
Natalie started college this year. She is in her freshman year at Pacific Lutheran University (yes, the same university where Ralph is a professor) where she lives in the dorms and is majoring in Business (yes, the same department where Ralph is a professor). We know that she loves it because we almost never hear from her. She moved into the dorms and launched her adult life and officially made us empty-nesters!
Noah
Noah lives in Portland where he has started his career working for a company that sells electronic mapping equipment! He has an apartment, a car, a cat, and is generally getting on with the business of adulting.
Wendy
Wendy is still at Heritage Distilling Company and continues to be very involved in the Gig Harbor Dragon Boat Club of which she is the president! She practices with the team all winter and they compete in the spring and summer and have had great success–we have a wall in the house just to hang all the medals!
Ralph
Ralph is in his ninth year at Pacific Lutheran University and continues to practice law. In addition to bowling and other hobbies, he plays in a band called Mock Defense which will is currently recording an EP to be released later this year.
Lulu
Lulu has had a few health issues but is hanging in there! She sleep a lot.
