Dear friends and family,
This has been a wonderful year for the Farrer family! We are especially excited to have our whole family here for Christmas this year. Here is a summary of our year:
It was the 100th anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America and the Grand Teton Council celebrated with a Jamboral. It was well attended and a lot of fun! Clarke also went to the National Jamboree in Virginia. While he was gone Nancy had vinyl trim added to the house and had the driveway resurfaced. That’s what happens when he leaves for three weeks! He is the president of the Young Men and Venture advisor in our church and loves it. Nancy finally finished a dual degree in Early Childhood Special Education at BYU Idaho and will be student teaching (again) for the next few months. We both travelled to NJ to pick up Shawn from his mission and took a side trip to Connecticut to visit some of Nancy’s old high school friends. We visited Palmyra New York and walked through church historical sites. In August we flew to Texas to watch Clarke Douglas graduate from Texas A&M with a degree in Recreation, Parks and Tourism. He and Bethany are living with us until he finds a job with the National Parks or Forest Service. We love having them here. You’ll often find their Benjamin standing on top of counters and inspecting Nana’s pretty things. Clarke is working as a teacher’s aide and Bethany works at the hospital ER. Daniel graduated from BYU-I in April and is now attending graduate school at Idaho State University, working on a degree in marriage and family counseling. He and Sarah bought a cute house that’s just a mile from us. Wyatt was joined by a new baby sister Bella, who was born in January. We love having our grandchildren close! Shawn returned home from a mission to Morristown, New Jersey after an honorable two year service. We had the great honor of meeting some of the faithful members of our church who live in that area. Shawn will be attending BYU Idaho in January. Amanda and Derek are continuing their education at BYU Idaho. Amanda will be finished with college a year from now with a degree in Elementary Education. She is super enthusiastic and will make a wonderful teacher. Derek is working on his degree in Mechanical Engineering and is currently searching for a summer internship.
We are grateful for this time of year to remember the birth of Jesus Christ.
We send our love to all of you, our friends and family.
