Last year we had a Christmas letter and this year when we have had some really exciting things happen we didn't get it out!! So heres the letter that was already to get out but because life just got little too busy it just didn't happen,
December 2009
The first official Jeremy and Melissa Hoy Christmas letter. The year 2009 treated them very well. No complaints at all from them. It started out at the Rose parade . Wow that was a lot of fun, sleeping in the street and walking down Colorado Blvd in the middle of the night, seeing the strange traditions that take place. The parade itself was also amazing. Then about a week later Jeremy asked Melissa to marry him. It went pretty smooth, the only rough part was when he placed the wedding band on her finger instead of the engagement ring. Melissa politely said yes, took in the celebration and then politely let Jeremy know it was the wrong ring. They laughed about that and then went to dinner with friends.
The wedding was set for May 2nd. So for the next 5 months the wedding planning consumed there lives, as well as Melissa’s parents lives. Finally May 2nd rolled in…and it rolled in with a bang!!! Jeremy went to Fallbrook to pick up his bride at 6:30 am, (they needed to be at the temple in La Jolla at 8:30am) when he arrived his mother in law had already made a huge breakfast. Jeremy had a bite to eat, then Melissa and he were off. The reception was held in Escondido and what a reception it was. It was beautifully put together in a beautiful location on a beautiful evening. In short, the reception was perfect!! Jeremy busted some mad dancing skills, and everybody partied. They had a nice honeymoon in Victoria Canada.
They have already moved twice since May. They are now in a nice home in San Marcos and happy being there. They are in the ward that Jeremy grew up in and seem to be enjoying it.
In August Melissa went home for lunch and realized she was pregnant. She called Jeremy and told him. He wanted to believe her, but he just couldn’t. She took a second test to prove it. Jeremy still wasn’t sure how accurate these over the counter test’s were. So she went to the doctor and it was confirmed. They have been exited ever since. They look forward to each new mile stone. The first getting to see the baby for the first time, then hearing the heart beat and of course finding out the gender. They did that last one just today, yes they no longer have to call they’re baby he/she or worse… "it," but they now say him or Zachary when referring to him. Yes it’s a BOY!!! His full name will be Zachary Cobas Hoy. (Cobas is Melissa’s maiden name)
Well there’s a wrap on 2009 for Jeremy and Melissa. It was a great year. It will be hard and maybe even impossible to ever have a better year. Hope all of you had a great year as well.
Make this Christmas season the best one yet. Remember the most important part of Christmas, is Christ. Celebrate his birth above all else.
Ps…This is Jeremy… it truly was a great year ,I married a great woman. 2009 will be the highlight of my life!!
Jeremy and Melissa Hoy
