Starting Over
(from email)
Friends & Family:
2010 is shaping up to be a whopper for us Shipley's! We are pleased to announce that Garren has accepted a new job.
Many of you know how much he has always loved politics--well now, he won't just be writing about it--he will be involved in it. He is thrilled to have been named the new Director of Communications for the Republican Party of Virginia.
Everything happened so fast; he ended his 12+ years of journalism on Friday, and Monday he started his new career in politics.
While, we are so proud of Garren, it will mean more than just a career change for this family. In June we will be moving to the Richmond area.
We are so pleased that all of you have been apart of our lives for so long and through so many twist and turns, and we hope that you will stick with us through this one as well.
And, there are even more exciting things happening this year. Thomas will be turning a year old in just a few weeks, and our big girl (who is more than excelling in Kindergarten) will be turning the big 0-6 in early March.
We have quite an eventful year ahead, and we pray that all of you are starting your year off well and healthy and happy.
If you want to read more about the move (from my perspective) you can see my latest post on the blog. And of course you can catch up with mommy's little genius (who was the Start Student of the Week at school this past week), and my little frog prince who constantly challenges and amazes me, on the blog as well.
Much love to you all!
Barbara, Garren, Gracie & Thomas

ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS to Garren, but it's sad news for the Strasburg UMC family. We will miss ALL of you, but what will Ruth entertain herself with in church without Thomas?
