2013 Holiday Newsletter
It's that time again, time for the annual holiday newsletter from the Hall family. 2013 was a very busy year for all of us.
Bryan continues to work for Verizon. This year he experienced some company reorganization that resulted in a job change and relocation to Lake Mary, Florida. The house in Nashville sold very quickly and after a little hotel living Bryan and Laura are settled in Heathrow, Florida. Thankfully Laura's job allows her to work remotely, and also occasionally takes her back to the home office in Nashville.
Laura and Bryan celebrated their 30th anniversary, and also Laura's 5 year cancer free status with a relaxing trip to Key West.
Josh and Chassi stay very busy with Anna (10), Morgan (8) and Emri (6). To say this is one busy household would be an understatement. Chassi somehow keeps everyone fed, clothed, chauffeured and healthy while providing childcare in her home. She also helped a good friend with a homebirth and played nursemaid for the first 24 hours for mom and baby. In her spare time, she enjoys cooking, crafts and running.
Josh continues with Vetter electric as a career, but stays very busy with lots of after work activities with the family. This spring Josh participated in the Spartan Death Race in Pittsfield, Vermont. He completed 68 hours of running, hiking, moving rocks up and down a mountain, 250 consecutive burpees, chopping wood and doing obstacles. When he hit his wall, he was crawling through a cave an had begun hallucinating. Josh discovered this is what happens to a body when you go 68 hours full force with no rest or sleep.
Anna and Morgan trained and completed their first triathlon this year, along with their cousin Michael. Anna also played softball, was in the school play, and ran her first 5K with her dad by her side. Morgan is the family gymnast and will be moving to the advanced team this winter. Morgan enjoys reading, helping her mom with the kids and continues to have a great eye for fashion. Emri started kindergarten this year and has adjusted very well. She enjoys singing, dancing and anything else that requires lots of energy.
Jenni continues her job as a nanny to Charlee and Delta Hodges (JT and Kasey are the parents). She spends her daytime hours with swim lessons, potty training and playing princess. Jenni accompanied the family with a trip to see JT play at the Grand Ole Opry this year, as well as a trip to Toronto for his filming of a holiday movie. In her spare time, Jenni loves baking, traveling, shopping, music and friends.
Laura and Jenni represented the family by attending the Hendon family reunion in Sacramento this summer. They also fit in a side trip to San Francisco and Wine Country for some precious Mom/Daughter time and shopping.
Our wish for you is health, happiness and lots of hugs from those you love!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

As a family, we have taken advantage of Florida life with a trip to the beach and Disney!
