The Nickle Nest
Wonderful news. Our nest is full again!
Zander returned from the Washington DC South mission on Nov. 13th. He loved Virginia and all the people he met there. He’s already had hernia surgery since he returned, but is on the mend. We feel very grateful to have him back in the flock.
Melissa is in and out of the nest all the time. She lives 20 minutes away and drops by to visit several times a week. She is finishing school and running her flower business, so she is one busy chick.
Jonathan is back in Salt Lake City. He moved south to CA last winter, but came back to UT in the spring. He’s still doing photography and is also serving in a new trendy restaurant close to his apartment. He’s very busy but also seems very happy. We’re glad he’s come back to UT to roost!
Justin is preparing to leave our nest. He just got called to the Knoxville, TN mission where he will spend the next 2 years starting January 20th. We are very proud of him and are excited to see him spread his wings and fly.
Braden is a junior this year. He’s still loving football. He’s strong and fast and hopes he’ll be able to keep playing in college. He’s also learned to play the guitar. He’s become quite the songbird.
Bryson is a sophomore. He’s doing great in school. He played football and is now playing basketball. He still loves to sing, but has other interest (girls) as well. He seems to be soaring to new heights all the time.
Steve and Melanie continue to love and nurture this brood. They are our pride and joy and we love being their parents. We are aware our nest is nearing empty soon. Luckily we still like doing things together, so when that time comes we’ll be ok.
They say birds of a feather stick together. We are so grateful for the bonds of family and for knowing even when we are apart, we all have a place in this Nickle Nest. We are very grateful for this year when we are all here, however, and plan to enjoy every minute of it. May each of you enjoy the season and your moments together. We are so thankful to have a Savior who loves each of us and we celebrate His birth.
Merry Christmas,
The Nickles
