Dear Friends and Family,
2011 has been a great year
for our new family! We started out the year with a spectacular wedding,
celebrating with many of our friends and family, and then jumped back into
school at BYU. Amy went to Taiwan for the month of May for a nursing study
abroad where she worked in a local hospital and in the community with the
nurses of Taiwan. Alex stayed home and continued school and work at the
Missionary Training Center and cared for our first baby, Maizy, a little
duckling.
We spent the summer working
and going on vacation. We visited Eugene, Oregon to see Amy’s sisters compete
in their first track meet at their new stadium. Then, we visited Fresno with
Alex’s family and spent a few days relaxing at the Cabin. In August, we finally
took a honeymoon to the Caribbean. The islands were beautiful and relaxing on
the cruise ship was just what we needed before school started again. Luckily we
avoided Hurricane Irene.
From there, we were right
back into school. Amy started her last semester of nursing school and Alex
continued his Civil Engineering Degree. Amy is now a college graduate and is
looking forward to passing her licensing exam and finding a job in Emergency or
Critical Care nursing. Maizy grew up quick and was sent to boarding school in
October. She is happy in her new home in Salt Lake City where she has a pond to
swim in and other ducks to play with.
The coming year will be
amazing as our family learns and grows. We wish you all the best and a Merry
Christmas!
The Hawkins
