Each Christmas I try and write a newsletter letting you all in on what has happened in our lives in the past year. Well I decided to try and get up with technology and have decided to start a blog so you can follow us throughout the year. So here it goes…
The Poe’s have had another very blessed year. Our lives are pretty much centered around Price. He is one active little man. He started walking at 10 months and hasn’t slowed down since. He still loves being outdoors and seeing all of the moo’s, goats, and pigs. His highlights are playing every type of ball, checking cows with dad and riding on the 4-wheeler through the pasture. Priced loved spending eight weeks with his mom this summer. We took in the zoo and the water park. He is such a smart little guy and keeps us all on our toes!
Allan is in his sixth year as the Ag Teacher in Waynoka. He continues to be successful and enjoys what he does. Allan is very proud of his students who were successful again this year. He again traveled out-of-state to stock shows in Denver and Kansas City. When he is not busy with stock shows and buying animals, he is checking his own cattle herd which is continually growing. Allan helped a friend celebrate his 30th birthday in style on the strip in Las Vegas. He also managed to find time this fall to do some remodeling. Allan loves being a daddy and enjoys spending time with Price.
Daresa continues to love being a mommy and Family and Consumer Science teacher. Her students also had great success in their competitive events. Two of them won state and qualified for Nationals in Chicago. She got to spend a week in Chicago at the FCCLA National Leadership Conference. Being away from her boys was hard, but Chicago is amazing in the summer. Year number two of teaching is much less stressful than her Rookie year, but she is still learning a lot. Daresa has also taken on the Event Chair position for the Alfalfa/Woods County Relay For Life. As mommy, wife, teacher, FCCLA Adviser, junior class sponsor, and RFL Chair, the one word that describes her is BUSY, but she wouldn’t have it any other way.
One of our largest highlights just took place this weekend. We moved to Daresa’s grandparent’s house just north of Waynoka. We are finally back in the country. Allan is excited to not have to go drive and feed animals. Price is excited to have moo’s in his backyard. And Daresa is excited to have a pantry and laundry room. It will take a while to get settled, but we are so relieved to be moved!
We are planning on joining some friends in Red River following Christmas morning in our new house. We are looking forward to spending time with friends and family this holiday season. We hope that you and yours have a wonderful Christmas and a blessed New Year.
Love,
The Poe’s
Allan, Daresa and Price
