I won SXSW registration!

For the past two years I have had the opportunity at work to travel out to Austin, TX for the South by Southwest Interactive festival. The festival is arguably the one of the biggest and most fun gatherings of web professionals each year. It's been a huge learning experience and inspiration for me on each trip. The dates for this year's conference are March 9-13.

SXSW sends out an email announcement highlighting the latest confirmed speakers and seminars each month that includes a trivia question that, if answered correctly, enters you into a drawing for free registration to the event. I usually try to enter hoping that one month I might be the winner. I found out this weekend that this month I WON!!!

the WELL week one

Reggie on Stage

Our first formal church service was last night.

It went pretty well overall... a few kinks to work out but it was exciting after months of planning to see it come together.

It'll be interesting to see how it goes next week (a non-superbowl sunday night)

Buckley

Santa brought us a 7 month old black chihuahua for Christmas... he's slowly figuring out that when we yell "BUCKLEY!" we are talking to him. (Click on a thumbnail below for a larger image.)

Happy Christmas to all our family and friends!

Wes and Sarah with Tina the Llama

All of you know the big thing that happened in our life this year, GETTING MARRIED! This letter is more about the smaller things in our life since then. (But you can see our wedding pictures at wesandsarah.com/wedding)

Wes is still working at Edge Media. This summer they wrapped up the editing and production of an English as a Foreign Language production titled Backpack that will be used with textbooks that will teach children in South America and Korea to speak English. Lately, he has been designing web sites. You can see the one he designed for his work www.edgesc.com.

Sarah is working for a marketing company called Mass Media Marketing. She is the assistant to the owner and also does some “graphic design” for them on the side. She enjoys the work and finds it VERY challenging. Making clients happy can be stressful at times, but she has learned so much in the 4 months she has been working there.

We have also been working hard on the house. We really have done a lot to the guest bedrooms and the kitchen. We are also hoping to finish reupholstering a couch pretty soon. And then there’s the raking… it seems like it will NEVER end.

Finally, we are lucky to be involved with a church plant in downtown Augusta called The Well. Wes is helping do the media aspects and I am helping with community groups and events. Please be in prayer for us as we begin this journey with our launch in February! www.thewellaugusta.org

That’s about it for our Christmas letter. If you are wondering about the picture, we didn’t have a pet of our own, so we borrowed Tina from our friend, Napoleon Dynamite.

Wes, Sarah and Tina

p.s. We’re going to try to keep in touch a little better this year by keeping a blog… kind of an online journal of words and pictures. Check in with us at: www.wesandsarah.com
