Wiscombe Family Christmas Letter - 2013

Wiscombe Family Christmas Letter - 2013

To help ensure the freshness of this letter, we made sure to wait until the last possible moment to deliver it. That way you can be sure that the news contained in this letter isn’t stale or out of date.

2013 has been a year of change for us: Graduations, New Schools, New Jobs, New Grandbaby, New Callings, New Roles in Life:

Jacqueline graduated from High School and is attending BYU-Idaho in Rexburg. Based on the number of phone calls to her parents (or lack thereof) we determined that she was having a great time during her first semester. Jacqueline is beginning the process of submitting her papers to go on a mission.

Liesel is a sophomore at BYU-Provo. She is working at Café Zupas and fills her free time with rock-climbing, slack-lining, long-boarding, and anything else she can do outside. Liesel enjoys the fact that she is the closest aunt (in distance) to Madeline and can drive to North Salt Lake to see her.

Cacia and Paden Henson just celebrated their 1st anniversary. Paden graduated in July from BYU-I with a degree in Graphic Design and they have been living and working in Almo, ID for the past 6 months. Paden has been doing construction and Cacia substitute teaching. The will be starting new jobs on January 2nd in Idaho Falls (see, I told you this was fresh), so will be relocating between Christmas and New Years.

Katherine and Tom Sizemore welcomed our 1st Granddaughter on March 31st.  Madeline is about the happiest/cutest/most adorable baby we have ever seen. That might be a biased opinion, but feel free to cut out her picture to keep in your wallets or on your fridge if you need a smile. Katherine graduated in August from BYU with a degree in Psychology and they have moved to North Salt Lake. Tom is going to school and working when he isn’t playing with Madeline.

Laura loves being a new grandma – even if she doesn’t look like one. She has been active putting together a new business (check out cozy-corner-design.com) and just started working with KnitLab. After finishing the school year teaching Seminary, Laura served briefly with the Stake Young Women and is now the Young Women Secretary.  Her new role as an empty-nester is giving her a lot more time to spend with Peter.

Peter’s job with BB&T is keeping him busy. He was able to convince his bosses to let him try working remotely during the summer, so was able to spend July and part of August in Utah. In June, he was called as a counselor in the Bishopric so has been busy reacquainting himself with the ward after serving for eight years in various stake callings. Peter also loves being a grandpa, except for looking like one.
