[atlantaprog] Happy Holidays from the Kargel family!!!

**SEASONS GREETINGS**

 

Kargel Family Holiday Newsletter 2004

 

 

Greetings from Rome, Georgia!

 

 

Wow!  What a year 2004 has been!  A far cry from what we had to endure in 
2002...

 

Of course the main event for this past year was the arrival of our son Rowen!  
As you all are likely aware, we had medically-related issues that had to be 
addressed in the hospital that required surgery.  Well, Rowen turned eight 
months old on December 1st, and other than the surgical scar running across his 
belly and the fact that we have to monitor his blood glucose daily, you would 
never know that we ever had a problem!  Rowen will eventually require regular 
doses of insulin as he grows, but for the time being he has not required any?in 
fact, he has not required any insulin for nearly five months!

 

The past year has not been without its share of challenges.  Due to a number of 
events beyond our control that converged upon us in quick order (some of it 
still related to events from 2002, some related to Rowen's birth, and other 
issues), our finances have been critically strained all year long.  The good 
news is that the financial picture is looking much better for 2005.   We should 
be able to get by on our own, at least!

 

After many years of working a schedule that required working weekends, Bill is 
finally working a schedule that is "normal" in a traditional sense, Monday 
through Friday, 8AM to 5PM!  Now Bill and Bridget have the same days off on a 
regular basis, and we are at last able to spend a lot of time together as a 
family!  Bill has been working for Integrated Broadband Services (IBBS) in 
Cartersville, GA since June of 2003, performing broadband tech support for the 
client cable companies of IBBS.

Bridget is now in her fifth year as a Speech Therapist in the school 
system...she is assigned to only one school and has her own classroom space to 
do her work!  Bridget is part of the faculty at Pennville Elementary School for 
the Chattooga County School System in Georgia, a relatively short commute from 
Rome.

We are looking forward to great things in 2005!  Rowen will celebrate his first 
birthday on April 1st, and Bill?s sister Beth will be getting married at the 
end of May (Bill will be giving her away)!  

 

Things have been fairly overwhelming this past year, so we apologize for not 
having recent pictures of Rowen available to see for most of that time...we 
were just too busy to find the time to upload them!  That is also largely why 
Bill hasn?t been so quick about updating his LiveJournal page or his website at 
Yahoo/Geocities...not enough time!  Therefore, we have included with this 
message an attached picture of Rowen in full holiday dress!  Enjoy!

 

So Happy Holidays and best wishes from the "Roman" Kargel Family, and here's to 
a happy, healthy and prosperous New Year for all!

 

Yours Truly,

 

Bill, Bridget & little Rowen Kargel
