2008 was a busy year in the Zarletti-Passe household! This summer we finished the landscaping in the backyard. Our house is now rid of all the overgrown, ugly bushes that were here when we bought the house. We also put in some new windows this summer with the help of my dad and Uncle Steve. Chris stained all the windows and new trim. That was a time consuming project!We're now dreaming up plans for this summer's remodeling projects! I never thought I'd be comparing toilets, sinks, and carpet!
Chris is still working at All Saints as a physical therapist. He completed his doctorate this December and is now officially Dr. Christopher Passe. This is his fifth season with the Tremper Wrestling team as an assistant coach. From what I hear, the team is looking pretty good this year. This summer he also found his new hobby...golfing!! He even hit the course one afternoon with my Grampa! He also ran the 10 mile lighthouse run in June. I was scared he'd blow out another knee, but he did awesome.
This is my third year teaching kindergarten at Union Grove Elem. I absolutely love my class! I finished my third sememster of grad school in December and will be graduating in May. I decided to try my luck in the running world and did my first run with my sister on Thanksgiving. It wasn't as bad as I thought and I plan to do a couple more.
Another highlight of our year is that the Dolphins and Vikings are in the playoffs!!
We hope you have a happy and healthy 2009!
