A newsletter concerning the lives of
The Peters
Carrie and Jeremy • Autumn 2007
•Hello to our friends and family. Jeremy and I are about to celebrate our first wedding anniversary, and thought it about time to send out an update on our new life together. So here’s a short and brief version of our current lives: what we’ve done with ourselves this year, as well as what our plans for the immediate future are.
•Following our wedding day of October 14th we set off for Mexico to spend ten days soaking up the last of the summer sun. Despite the fact that I lost my wallet the day of the wedding, that Jeremy ruptured an ear-drum (or two) and had to visit a Mexican Pharmacia, (think bedroom with a cot in a kind man’s home) and that we ran out of pesos by the end of the trip and had to hike out to catch the bus to the airport, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. Jeremy spent hours in the Ocean, I read roughly three novels, and got to brush up on my rather limited Spanish.
•We then moved into our first home, a little apartment downtown Klamath Falls. Jeremy worked construction for both of our fathers, and I continued working at the downtown Mermaid Garden Cafe within walking distance of home. Work aside, we spent a lot of time with our nearby families on the weekends and both took a couple classes at OIT so as not to completely fall back on our higher education.
•During the winter we frequented the nearby ski resorts, indulging in our fondness for snowboarding whenever we could find the time and the means. We spent the Thanksgiving Holiday in the bay area with Jeremy’s family—now I know where the man learned the art of loving his food, and eating it too-- and Christmas at my parents place on Agency Lake.
•Coming up at the end of this month, Jeremy and I will begin attending Portland State University to finish up our B.A. degrees. I am majoring in Graphic Design with a minor in advertising. Jeremy is currently enrolled as a Drawing and Painting major and a minor in photography, but may switch to Industrial Design next year. We’re both thrilled to be moving up to Portland for a couple of years.
•Thank you, each and all for holding a particular place in our lives. This year has been a great one and we’re grateful for the love and support of all our family and friends. We hope this letter finds you well and happy like we are!
