Merry Christmas from the Shafer Family
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from LM and Jeremy Shafer, 2024 letter
This year has flown by and so much has happened…where shall we start?
Jeremy has continued his work at Lonestar Electrical- Industrial. Basketball has been a big part of his weekly routine this year and has brought him much joy. He is loving Hope City Church and leading his men’s group. God continues to prove faithful in his life as he commits whatever he does to the Lord.
LM started her doctorate at SMU Perkins in May. Between her part time nanny job, her directing the non profit Think Pink Inc. and classes, she is keeping busy. As far as a church home, she has landed at MDUMC in Houston. Jeremy attends with her often and they have found a rhythm that works for this season of life.
This year has been about growing as a married couple and as individuals. We have learned to let go of what doesn’t serve us and embrace the goodness that God has for us. We can be honest and say that getting married in your forties can be hard but God has been faithful to us and surrounded us with the support we need to move forward one day at a time.
We have spent our free time working on the house, spoiling the grandbaby, traveling to San Antonio, enjoying time with our fabulous neighbors and of course playing Fortnite with our dearest friends.
We will be enjoying Antigua, Guatemala for Thanksgiving and will enjoy Christmas with the family before LM heads back to Dallas for classes in January.
Our granddaughter turned two in October and brings so much laughter and joy to our lives.
Chacha (Chalupe Charlie Busch Shafer) keeps growing. This third cat of ours has the DNA of a Norwegian Forest Cat and Munchkin. He has proudly taken over the house. He is snuggly, chunky and all boy.
Susanna Kitty prefers to be left alone by the stinky boys of the house but loves Jeremy and LM. She is sweet and snuggly with a flair for the loud and demanding as most flame point siamese are.
Wesley Cat is well, Wesley cat. He has adjusted to having a little brother who is 3x his size and continues to be the official guard cat of the house.
Rico is a little old man at 17. This sweet chihuahua can barely see or hear but his nose works and he tap dances around the house when he thinks there is cheese.
Our life has taken some twists and turns over the past few years but we celebrate 3 years of marriage in December and give thanks to God for his hand in our lives.
We have each other, our home, our family, friends and neighbors. We are learning and growing one day at a time. This Christmas, we give thanks for all the simple things in our lives that have brought us closer to God and to each other.
Merry Christmas from the Shafer Family, party of six.
LM, Jeremy, Rico, Susanna, Wesley and Chacha
