It’s wonderful to be able to share this year’s news with you as a married man! Life could not be better and I praise the Lord for all that we have. It is truly a joy to celebrate Christmas in the warmth of our homes with family and friends surrounding us! I encourage you to spread the love, hope and joy of this wonderful season with everyone:
“Today
in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; We’ve had an incredible year filled with even more amazing events. In early January Anja & I spent a week in Switzerland visiting with friends and family as well as preparing our wedding ceremony and festivities. It was an exciting and hectic week and at the end we were convinced that we had forgotten to do at least a million things. Back in the US we made it a habit of working out together on Friday’s – me badly needing the exercise while Anja tagging/(dragging me) along out of solidarity. Anja is continuing her work as a professional dancer with the Ballet of the Dolls and also has had the privilege to perform works as and independent Artist with various companies in the Twin Cities. In the mean time things at work were ramping in my new position as a Data Modeler/ Architect with Navitaire. In March we both enjoyed a quiet get-away at a 19th century Bed & Breakfast in the cute town of Stillwater. Anja engaged in some shall we say “interesting” Antique (Anti-Q) shopping while I sipped coffee in a nearby shop reading |

enlightening literature
:). In mid-April, my employer provided me with an opportunity to work on a project based out of Austin, Texas. I spent the next couple of months commuting back and forth; realizing that consulting is not meant for me! Wedding preparations continued with sending out invitations, designing and printing the church program and all the small things that go along with making that perfect day perfect. |

As the wedding date drew closer
we both scrambled to prepare for the 4 weeklong trip back home! In Switzerland,
it was one last mad dash to get everything in place for the big day. Did
I mention a couple of days climbing
in with my brother? The wedding was all that we expected and more. W
e
are both very grateful to have such wonderful families and friends that
were able to celebrate this special day with us. |
sure to reserve a trip to this romantic part of the world if you get a chance! It was hard to believe that the four weeks went by so fast and heavy-hearted we boarded the plane back to St. Paul.
It didn’t take long
before both of us were back in the everyday groove. Anja started teaching
new classes in three studios in the Twin Cities area and I was fortunate
enough to trade my Austin, TX project with two new projects starting up
here in Minneapolis. Our treasured moments include spending time with
friends and family and as you can see below ... dressing up for Halloween
parties :) |

We hope all is well with you and wish you a wonderful Christmas and a Happy New Year. Love, Markus, Anja & Sidi |
