and...Updates begin now...
First and Foremost, we both know how truly blessed we are to have such great positions with two great companies amidst the current economy and all the difficult times many seem to be facing, including friends/family of our own. Our prayers are with each of you which may be facing such times right now. Know that the Lord is in control, and He will never give you more than what you can bear.
...When not working on upgrading our home down to the finest detail on his off time, Colby has enrolled and has also begun taking some courses again at Bakersfield College, as he plans on continually working towards his engineering degree while still holding down a full time position working for a very well known Commercial Audio Visual company, located here in the Bakersfield area.
...Recently, as of this new year, Kelsey was promoted within her current company (Property Management Residential/Commercial) to Operations Manager/Executive Administrative Assistant to the President of the company! It has been such a blessing and a real learning experience, as she is loving every minute of the fast paced industry. Kelsey still plans on eventually (when funds provide) getting her cosmetology license, and further pursueing the artistic side of her skills sometime soon. :) She has also recently realized that one thing was missing from her life and is planning on beginning with ballet again. :)
This new year has also brought with it some heart ache and difficult emotional times for Kelsey's side of the family, but alongside the tough moments has also brought many joyous and thrilling blessings!
Kelsey's mom, Romy Zarit was recently diagnosed with Colon Cancer back in late January/early February of this year (...and potentially more cancerous bumps which were also found throughout her entire body during the scan process), come to find out recently when she and Kelsey's father, Steven Zarit drove to Salt Lake City, Utah from their residence in Montana to have further testing done on Romy at some of the best facilities. The doctors were truly stunned, as every test came out cancer free/ and some of the masses/bumps were no longer there!!! This was truly a miracle! Thank you to all of you who constantly kept the prayers coming, that's what got us all through this! We love you and can't thank you enough for keeping our family/Kelsey's mom in your thoughts.
As we were celebrating the wonderful news of Romy being cancer free, we received word that Romy's mom (Peggy Seyster, 82 years of age), recently found out she has stage 4 abdominal cancer. We are asking for everyone to please send her big time prayers at this time! Romy/our family is having a very hard time trying to get through this, as we all love her dearly and are very close as a family. Peggy (or Nana, as she is called by our family) has played such an instrumental role with both Kelsey and her sister Brittany as they grew up. Romy will be flying out to California in about 1 week or so, to stay in Orange County, California to help assist Peggy's husband and/ or Romy's father, Sey, with taking care of her during this time. If there's one thing we all learned, it's that God can do miracles..but seeing her in pain/not wanting to eat/sleep is still VERY hard for everyone. :( Please keep those prayers coming!
This new year has truly been a reminder to us as couple, that life is a real gift from above, and goodness... it flies by so quickly, as we are both now going on 26 years of age; Kelsey in October and Colby in December. We have had many moments where we, as husband and wife, have reflected on everything that has changed for the better/worse in our lives over the past few years as individuals and as a couple, but all in all, we can't say enough how truly grateful we are to have such a tight knit group of loving people/friends/family/each other surrounding and continually encouraging us. Our marriage/relationship is the strongest it has ever been, as we have now been married for almost a year and a half
Every day seems to be a new adventure filled with so many new experiences/emotions/growth. It's been wonderful. Even though it's been requested/wondered by "some", and we know that one day they will most definitely make their way into the world...the babies will come in about 3/4 more years for us, as we are constantly seeking after God to provide us with direction/timing etc.
Much more news to come soon! Until then...
All of our love,
Colby/Kelsey/Remi/Lucy/Noah and Napua
(wow...that's a mouth full!!!, no wonder we're waiting on the babies!)
Below are a few recent photos which were taking in February 2010 at a friend's wedding held in Nipomo, California. Absolutely beautiful! Colby's parents Paul and Liz Rozell also attended this beautiful event with us. Enjoy!
Our many congrats to Chris and Amanda, thank you for inviting us to participate in this joyous and memorable day!
