Chris & Kim ~ December 2022

Westra Family and Friends (December 12, 2022)

Hi all - quick update here. Thanks Jen and Mom for your updates.

We had a birthday party for Integrity here on the Sunday evening before her birthday. 

Last Friday we went out to eat at Slim Chicken with Courtney, Seth, and the girls, and with Seth and Aspen, and Cayson. We went on some other dates also - this was date 768. Christine switched jobs and is now working the early shift at Kneaders.

The apartment is coming along slowly but surely. The bathroom is done now, and most of the kitchen. So we are pretty close.

I've been experimenting some with OpenAI - the AI that makes pictures from your prompts or descriptions.

I’ve gone to Mom and Dad’s a few times to help organize boxes and stuff and load onto the new shelves Derek built. Kim and I helped put on our ward Christmas Party and Kadan and Christine and Corin and Kylie came also.

We did another Kiva loan - Fatoa Amy Group in Senegal, December 2022 #317 ($25 loan)

Make your week purposeful and memorable!

Hi again - another quick update from Christopher and Kim. We just found out that Krystal and Boris are having a baby! It was so exciting to get that facetime call last evening. We were having dinner with Mom and Dad (date 770) at Jim’s family restaurant and Dad read Krystal’s shirt “Soon to be Mommy” before anybody else. And, they know already that it will be a boy. So that will be our first grandson. And Boris had a shirt on - Promoted to Daddy.

Christmas Eve is tomorrow. Kim and I are heading to Sedona, Arizona for a trip on Monday, the day after Christmas. We are really looking forward to it.

Kim has been super busy at work - many of her coworkers take lots of time off in December and leave all the work for her.

Courtney and Seth had a super photo shoot - so photogenic....

I’ve been helping Mom and Dad get their garage and big storage room organized, and filling the wood shelves Derek is building. Our basement apartment is about done. This week we got the door between the units built, and our washer and dryer installed upstairs. We are grateful for Conner’s skills.

We’ve done three more Kiva loans

Marcelline in Madagascar, December 2022 #318 ($25 loan)

Sonia in Mozambique, December 2022 #319 ($25 loan)

Tuniah in Indonesia, December 2022 #320 ($25 loan)
