A year end update!

I know, I know these things are typically seen in letters sent by mail, but we live in the 21st century so here we go. It's been quite the year for us with the obvious change being our marriage on the 27th of June. The honeymoon we spent up in a cabin in Michigan City which would have been fine if it weren't for the Klingons invading. Fortunately both Martha and I are blaster certified and were able to defend ourselves. Unfortunately the city itself is lost now and believe under Klingon control.

Things slowed down for a bit after we moved into our new apartment. Until the Avengers moved in next door shortly afterwards. Needless to say the parking lot was a constant battleground. It would have been okay if they didn't make George a new member of the group. I'll admit he's good at what he does though. Also, Tony Stark is a jerk and owes me $50. Word to the wise if you want nice weather keep a fully stocked fridge for Thor. Outside that they are nice neighbors to have.

Harriet has been nothing but a diva after she landed the music contract. I'll admit she has a nice set of pipes on her but she should still show some respect to us. I know it's just a phase. The kids going places regardless and we are thrilled. It helps that she also received her pilots license and can travel on her own from now on. It put a lot of miles on our cars taking her on her tours. Brutal. I'm glad that's over.

On a personal front Martha has joined the library alliance. It's fight against the illiteracy empire is currently ongoing. With her double duty of running a museum and teaching history I couldn't be more proud. As for me I finally got accepted into the Jedi Order. The waiting period takes months because they have multiple background checks with psychological screenings to make sure you don't fall to the dark side. I passed and already know how to lift a car with my mind. Exciting times ahead.

All in all it's been a very eventful six months and we have definitely been blessed. We are all looking forward to the new year. Merry Christmas from the Owens.
