Christmas Eve Party

We went to Kara and Victor's house on Christmas Eve, with all of Kara's family. We started out in the dark, as the power had gone out earlier. Lucky, thanks to some hard-working utility person, the power came back on in time for us to have a great time!

Vic and Kara's Latest Remodelling Projects

This is how the dining room area looked BEFORE ...

... and this is how it looks NOW!

And this is the new entry hall, after a lot of peeling and

sanding and dust and skim-coating and floating and painting!

Vic Staying Busy!

Vic continues to work for Proserv-Offshore with offshore oil rig decommissioning projects. He has worked a lot with the daily cost-tracking program that monitors all project expenses so that budgets are closely managed and projects are executed with precision and completed on time and under budget.

Vic attended a wedding in Oklahoma of a friend from his Texas Tech days. He caught the garter at the reception!

Vic "practicing" -- shopping with Kara's niece Teagan.

Sprout Salons

Kara's station near the windows has a great view. The Salon is located in a new building in the Woodlands, Texas.
This view looks back from Kara's station to the entry door and product displays. Kara started the business with two friends, Jaci and Jenny. Kara specializes in haircutting and styling.
