Dear Family and Friends, Happy New Year!!
This has been a wonderful year with some amazing adventures with family and friends. This year also came with its setbacks and disappointments, but I am full of love because of all of you in my life.
Below are some photos capturing highlights from 2023, including: several trips to parts of Southern California with family and friends; Thomas women annual retreat; seeing my friend Marty Ross' solo concert in Milwaukee, WI; visiting family in Austin, TX; vacationing in various parts of Florida with family; international travels on a Caribbean cruise to Mexico and Belize (loved Belize!!) and a family vacation in Alberta, Canada for my niece's wedding; and seeing Micky Dolenz in concert four times!
Here at home, I continue to do my work as an attorney in the Department of the Interior, Office of the Solicitor. In June we celebrated a significant land acquisition for the Bureau of Reclamation's Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project. In June I also marked my 20th Anniversary in my job. That's an incredible milestone. In October I participated in the annual J. Reuben Clark Law Society leadership meetings, and at that time I became the chair of the International Service Committee. We have an amazing committee of wonderfully committed attorneys determined to provide and promote service opportunities worldwide. I am inspired and humbled by these great people I call my friends. Most of all, I have loved my associations with each of you and am so grateful for your love and friendship.
Cheers to 2024!
love and peace,
Susannah
