Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year from the Rettig’s! The Lord is faithful

and continues to guide us through life’s journeys. We had the opportunity to

visit and Holly in Alaska this year. It was an Amazing trip not only

because of the beauty and God’s creation but the time with my family was

priceless. It has been a few years since we all were together. The highlight of

the trip was when and Holly exchanged wedding vows in Wasilla, Alaska,

June 26th. Memories of a Lifetime!

’s highlight this year was the opportunity to an all boys trip to

“Vegas†to meet up with Jake and 9 of his buddies along with (who just

turned 21 a few days prior) Not sure who was the kid on that trip. Best as it

is said, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.â€

had the opportunity to meet up with friends and celebrate our 27th wedding

anniversary. I’m very active in the Marquette Army ROTC Parent group and the
