Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all our families and friends!!
2008 has been a great and exciting year for the Lees. In April, Solomon and Tiffany graduated from Brigham Young University in Provo and we were there for their graduation; a week later Tiffany married Mark Shinoda in Newport Beach, California and we welcomed Mark into our family. And a few days ago, on Dec 20th, we welcomed another addition, McKayla Wai Ning Lee into our family; she was 6 lbs 0.4 oz, 17 inches with a beautiful smile. Both Jenny and McKayla are doing fine.
2008 has been a challenging year financially for many people in the United States with the unstable economy and the threat of a global recession; we count our blessings that all of us are fortunate enough to hang on to our jobs and are still employed.
David and Grace are still working at BYUH, looking forward to retirement in a next few years. Jared is working with a private company which specializes in Hospice care. He has had great success working with the patients and their families who require this sort of care. Joshua is working and living in New York City and loving the “Big Apple”. He was accepted to a MBA program in BYU Provo and was supposed to move from NY to Provo to start school in Sept. However due to the recent downturn of the economy, he decided to stay in NY to continue working and do an executive MBA program instead. We thought that was a really smart move and supported him wholeheartedly. He will be home to spend the New Year’s with us. Rachel is still working at Kamehameha Schools and drives to town everyday to work; she has been a great aunt to McKenna and now has a new niece to attend to. Simon is working as an Assistant Manager and a personal trainer at 24 Hour Fitness in Mililani. He now has a big family to take care of. Jenny is taking a 3 month break from the bank to stay home to take care of the new born. We are grateful that her sister, Stephanie, is staying with us. She works part time at the Gift Shop at PCC in the evenings and watches McKenna while Jenny and Simon are at work. Solomon is working for Clearwater Advisors, a finance company in Idaho. He travels a lot and really appreciates the trust and faith that the company has in him in his a position when he has very little experience as a recent graduate. Tiffany and Mark still live in Provo but are home in Hawaii for the holidays. Tiff is working in the accounting department in the APEX Alarm Company and Mark works part time at their Call Center. Mark will graduate next June from Utah Valley University with a degree in Finance and they will most likely move to San Diego to work for his family business after graduation.

Our family is growing and our home is filled with love, joy, happiness and challenges. We are grateful to all of you and especially to the love and support you gave us over the years. Have a great and wonderful new year. And may the Lord bless you with peace, love, harmony, and good health in the coming year. We love and appreciate you. Aloha and Mahalo from the Lee’s.
