Merry Christmas (More pictures are coming)

Dear family and Friends,

So, as I sit to write this letter, it is a few days before Christmas. An early apology for the late letter, but this is the first break that I have had in a month.

What has sufficiently eaten my Christmas card writing time? Law school! It is my first semester at Seattle University. To those who are unfamiliar with the “joys” of law school, I would suggest you rent The Paper Chase. In the movie, there is an antagonistic professor, who frightens all the students with his unyielding Socratic questioning. My contracts professor is much like the one in the movie – except he speaks with a thick Pakistani accent. I have spent more than a few times praying that he would not call on me. Frightening 1st year professors aside, I am happy to be studying something I find truly interesting.

This has been a year of change for the DuBose family. I passed two large stages in my education this year and started a third. I graduated from BYU with my BA in Philosophy, and I passed my Certified Flight Instructor check ride. I have moved away to Seattle in late August, while Noah has stayed at BYU until she can find a good job up in Washington. To that end, it has been a trying time for the both of us, but we have survived with webcams, cell phones, and monthly visits.

Noah has been thriving at her job at BYU. Because she has been helping the church implement the Service Catalog, she spends her time between BYU and LDS church headquarters in Salt Lake City. Her newest project is to revamp the training system in the Global Service Desk.

This year Noah was very successful in her business of making felt art. This is the 2nd year she manned a booth at the Provo Farmer’s Market. From May until October, she spent many Saturdays at the booth with her friends socializing, making friends, and occasionally selling felt. Actually, with her booth, she has been able to work with some interesting people. One customer requested that she make 1oo felt cupcakes for a birthday party. At the end of the season, she was approached to sell her creations in a local boutique. For the Provo locals, you can now see her work at Bon Bons Boutique on University Ave.

We did not have any trips this summer because I was working full time as a flight instructor and preparing for the move. However, Noah was lucky enough to spend November in Taiwan. Much of that time, she spent visiting friends and eating all her favorite treats.

To you, our family and friends, we hope that you have a great holiday and coming year.
While we may not be able to see all of you often, you are in our hearts.

Merry Christmas

Wishing I was in Taiwan with Noah. Ooh well, after 3 more finals, I'll be in Provo with her. :-)

Looks like they had a good times.
