Brag Letter

You know those letters you get every Christmas from friends and family that just say all the great things the family is up to? Well, my sister-in-law & brother-in-law, Liz and Peter, did this really funny (fake) letter. It's kind of long, but it is really funny. I hope they don't mind me posting it on here!

December 2007
Hello, All! It’s time for our annual “Brag Fest”, we hope you’ll really enjoy the next few minutes reading about our wonderful lives.
Bob and Linda spent an entire 14 days in the beautiful Scotland! It was a fabulous time. Most of you probably aren’t rich enough to afford a trip like that, but we are. Bob is working for Broken Arrow Construction and is their finest employee. They really can’t function without him. Linda graduated from college with her teaching degree this last year. She loves teaching her 1st grade class at Copper Canyon Elementary where she is making millions.
Rob (29) is finishing up law school at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. He and his beautiful wife Kandis just had a darling baby girl, Raygan this August. She is just so precious. Kandis is a stay at home mom with their new little Angel. They are doing great and plan to move back to Tooele where Rob has a job lined out for him at the Tooele County Attorneys Office.
Ben (27) recently obtained his college degree. He graduated with honors with degrees in Bachelor of Finance and Construction Management. He has been working as a Project manager for Bach Corporation for 3 years. Ben and his stunning wife Kelly live in an expensive and large new home in Riverton with their two adorable little boys. Ryan, age 3 is a busy little guy and lots of fun. He just keeps us laughing all the time! Ethan, just born this October is a cute little guy and a joy after such a difficult pregnancy. Kelly is such a trooper. She is also a stay at home mom and loves it.
Liz (25) is our little country girl. She and her extremely handsome husband, Rick live in Faust on a cattle ranch that Rick’s grandfather established. Rick is the Ranch manager and also works as an Apprentice Electrician for his Father at ID Electric. He will begin school this fall to attain his Journeyman’s License. Liz is the mayor of Faust and has also been crowned “Ms. Faust”! Liz works as a mail lady driving the mail to the small towns of Ophir, Rush Valley and Vernon.
Jake (23) just got married this August to the lovely Shayla. They live in Tooele while Jake is attending Salt Lake Community College working towards his Bachelors in Engineering. He is a straight A student and is also working as a mechanic for Broken Arrow Inc. Shayla works as a Certified Nurses Assistant for a hospital in Salt Lake.

Sam (21) is just completing a very successful LDS mission in New Hampshire. He is expected home this month. We are really looking forward to seeing him. We’re also looking forward to seeing what kind of hot babe he marries when he returns, as we are quite certain that he’ll find a wife quickly. He has always been such a lady-killer.
Seth (19) just left to serve a full-time LDS mission. He was called to serve in the Brazil, Sao Paulo North mission. He currently is learning the difficult Portuguese language at the Mission Training Center in Sao Paulo. Seth is learning the Portuguese language so quickly; he hardly needs the MTC at all!
Peter (14) is quite the chick magnet and our little social butterfly. He is a freshman at Tooele High and has tons of friends. He plays baseball and is their star 1st baseman. Peter is a very accomplished pianist and is learning to play the organ as well. To top it all off, he is also learning to play the violin and the guitar as well!
Marshall (12) is our sports fanatic. He is so unbelievably good at all sports. He keeps us up-to-date on the statistics of each of the sports teams. Marshall is always out playing some sport and also especially loves paintball. He is a sixth grader at East Elementary and excels in all subjects, but is especially good in mathematics. He has the brains and the talent! What a lucky kid!
Maren (8) is a 3rd grader at Copper Canyon Elementary and is the smartest in her class! She reads at an 8th grade level! Maren is a Brownie in Girl Scouts and loves it. She is also enrolled in gymnastics and is so good at it! Maren is adorable and brings us so much joy.
Our family is doing very well. We hope this letter finds you all happy and healthy. Although, we’re certain that you’re not as happy as us. Or as rich. Happy Holidays!
Love,
The Clegg Family
