Season's
Greetings Family and Friends-
Well, it's that time of year
again, and we thought we would take just a minute to update you on the latest
with our little family. On December 30,
2011, we moved out of our house in Rochester, Minnesota, house-hopped for seven
months (including a two-month stay in both Jacksonville Florida--where we took
13 trips to Walt Disney World, a Disney cruise, and spent a day at Harry Potter
World--and Scottsdale, Arizona), and then in July of 2012 finally settled into
life in our new home: Bismarck, North Dakota.
Nick enjoys his job here as an anesthesiologist at St. Alexius Hospital,
and the kids and I stay busy with school and activities including: piano,
dance, soccer, gymnastics, music makers, joy school, preschool, home school,
and keeping up with Maddi's public school assignments and activities. (Phew!) We are loving Bismarck--the people,
the temple, and yes, even the weather.
In the Spring, we will break ground on our lot and hopefully be moved
into our new house by this time next year.
Our life is busy--as our out-of-date blog attests too, but it is finally
taking on some stability. We are ready
to settle in, put down some roots, and enjoy some of the fruits of our
labors--that is, if the Mayan
doomsday doesn't throw a kink into our plans!
(Ha!) Actually, with our country's current leadership, I think the Mayan
doomsday might be a welcome event, especially since we will have family in town
for Madison's baptism when the world comes crashing down. We can flip on our propane-run space heater,
munch on our gourmet food storage, and spend hours talking together and reading
our ever-growing book collection by 100-hour emergency candle light. Sounds quaint enough to me! We even became proud gun-owners this month, just
in case. On the off chance that the
Earth doesn't fall into a black hole; however, we'll try and get our blog up-dated
(we all know you're dying to know how we finally visited our 50th state this
year) and have a bit more exciting letter to share next year. We love you all and wish you a Merry Christmas
filled with peace, joy, and love! Take
care and God bless!
Love, the Hoskins family
Nick, Jamie, Madison (7), Spencer
(6), EmmaLee (4), and Mason (3)
