Disclaimer: We wanted to send this letter with our Christmas Cards but we opted to save money and a couple trees... so here it is!
We hope this letter finds you and your family counting down the days until the Minnesota Twins Baseball opener! After spending the last year in Seattle, Washington and cheering on the Mariners, we are excited to be back home in Twins Territory.
1st Inning: We spent our first year of marriage in Lynnwood, Washington. It was such a great experience for us. Derek worked as an intern at Trinity Lutheran Church in Lynnwood and Bobbie Jo worked right across the street at Caffe Ladro (a phenomenal coffee chain in the Seattle area). We had a great year exploring the Pacific Northwest and we were lucky enough to have visitors almost every month! We are grateful for all of our memories out in Seattle and we look forward to going back to visit soon.
2nd Inning: Before we left Seattle, we were able to go to 7 Mariners games. When the Twins were in town, we were Circled by Bert! We are hoping for an encore presentation this year at Target Field.
3rd Inning: On August 15th, (yes our anniversary!) we said goodbye to our friends in Washington and made the trip back to Fargo-Moorhead.
4th Inning: After spending a week at home with our families, we moved to our quaint little apartment in St. Paul. Address:1608 B Eustis St. Apt. 308 Lauderdale, MN 55108
5th Inning: Derek is currently working at Good Shepherd Lutheran Church in Mound, Minnesota. He worked at Good Shepherd before we left for Seattle. It is great to be back in this community and we truly are blessed to be apart of such a wonderful congregation.
6th Inning: Derek will graduate from Luther Seminary this spring. After graduation, Derek will meet with congregations that are looking for a Youth & Family Pastor. We will keep you updated on what happens. Currently,we are in a waiting game!
7th Inning: Bobbie Jo is currently Coaching Basketball at Osseo High School. She is a substitute teacher in the St. Anthony-New Brighton School District as well as the Osseo-Maple Grove School District.
8th Inning: Before we start saving our pennies for Twins Season Tickets, we are off to Hawaii for a family vacation. We will be with Derek’s family for a week of fun on the Hawaiian beaches!
9th Inning: We are grateful for a wonderful year but most of all we are thankful for all of you in our lives. We love hearing from you so if you are ever in Minneapolis-St. Paul look us up! derektronsgard@gmail.com or bobbiejotronsgard@gmail.com
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and GO TWINS!
