January 4, 2004
Welcome to our belated Christmas or belated New Year's,
but just-in-time for Chinese New Year Letter! It's been quite
a year with the two of us moving to Seattle and Vincent
adjusting to a slightly different position (still employed by
CDC but working for a year with Seattle's public health
department). In his family, brother Vernon got married and
sister Lisa had another boy. Grace is enjoying herself at
home, where she has expanded her cooking repertoire and has been
exploring all that Seattle has to offer.
We love living here in Seattle and taking advantage of the urban life, which
includes the symphony and wonderful cuisine. We've been
immersing ourselves in music and cooking; we've visited
neighboring cities in Victoria, Vancouver, and Portland. Yet
it's so convenient to get away from the hubbub and escape to
wilderness areas such as the Olympic and Mt. Rainier National
Parks for a hike.
That's our summary, our one peek back at 2003 . Looking
ahead for this year, our one main goal is to find a rewarding
job and a place where we can settle down more permanently.
We'll be keeping you informed. We wish you continued happiness
and God's blessing for 2004.
Love,
Grace and Vincent
