So… as you may have noticed, our annual holiday cards did not make it out last year so this is the first time (and hopefully, last time) you’ll be receiving a double feature card. I got as far as printing the letters but the cards never made it to the mailbox so I hope you don’t mind that I’ve just included it in this year’s so you can catch up on our past two years. Work hasn’t changed for either of us – Kenny is still at Chevron, Elaine is still at CenterPoint Energy.The dogs, Rosie and Radar, are doing great and had a healthy year full of treats and naps.
This year we achieved two milestones – our 25th wedding anniversary and Elaine’s 50th birthday. We celebrated with an awesome trip to SE Asia but before those adventures, we took a couple of smaller trips domestically. Elaine made a spring-time visit to NYC in May then we both headed to Washington, DC at the end of the summer.

Over Thanksgiving, we headed halfway across the globe to Thailand via Singapore. We packed a lot into our 10 days! In Chiang Mai (northern Thialand) we shopped at a huge night market, went on a temple tour and visited an elephant sanctuary; in Bangkok, Kenny had custom suits made, we took a water market tour, checked out the streetart district, visited the Grand Palace and saw a 150 ft reclining Buddha; in Singapore we had their famous chili crab, visited the amazing Gardens by the Bay and celebrated our anniversay at Marina Bay Sands.

We’re already thinking of the places we’ll go in 2024 (hint: we’re looking at cooler climates) – so much more to see!
We wish you a year full of peace, love, happiness and joyful adventures!
Elaine, Kenny, Rosie & Radar
