PEARSON, TONY [Stephanie, Colin and Alexa]

Prediction: Bush will be impeached (not a political statement, just a predition!) No other real predictions…it’s gonna be a good year!

2006 Memorable Events:
- January – Flew to The National Home Builders show in Orlando for three days of hard work! It could’ve been held in Alaska and not made much difference, cuz I never got to see the sunny outdoors!!!
- February – I don’t really remember February, I must have been frozen!
- March – I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and I’m still not positive how to spell it!
- April – I left my regular paycheck with True North Architecture to begin True North Real Estate! All in all, it was a pretty successful year for a brand new business! Lots of hours, a little luck, and a lot of FAITH!

- May – we added Alexa Rose Pearson to the Pearson CAST of stars – another awesome experience having a child! I have a feeling I’m in for trouble now having a daughter!
- June – I joined a real estate golf league – bound a determined that if I play more, I will get better! And do a little networking too!
- July – One of my babies turned 2 years old and the other turned 27! We went to the Ionia Free Fair, and discovered that Colin has is Mom’s love for fast carnival rides! I pushed to stroller pretty fast, so Alex had fun too!
- August – Holy Cow! Five years married to my best friend! I AM THE LUCKIEST MAN ALIVE!

- September – I went golfing with Dad & Tom, and must be my golf league paid off, cuz I shot 39 on the front 9 holes! Notice I didn’t mention my score for the back nine!

- October – Colin was a Cowboy, and Alex was flapper! We had a family Halloween party to go to, so we all had 20’s gangster & flapper costumes…I thought…

- November – I found out that my wife had been lying to me for months! She planned the best and most involved surprise 30th birthday party for me! It was a roaring 20’s murder mystery! It was such a good time – the attendees ranged from co-workers to friends & relatives to grandparents! And outside of my case of raging tonsillitis (and my inability to eat or drink) it was one of the best presents ever! Once again, I’m reminded what an amazing wife I have!!!

- December – Christmas is one of the best times with kids! Colin is old enough to really get the whole Santa thing, and boy was he ready for it! We watched the Polar Express more times than I can count, and went to Meijer Garden where they have a huge Polar Express display running all through the greenhouses, and a bunch of Christmas trees….and Santa!!! Well, it was just one of Santa’s helpers – ok, maybe it was one of his “junior” helpers! Colin and Alex both warmed right up to him – and Alex tried to yank Santa’s beard off! Colin asked Santa for a choo-choo train, and Santa came through! He’s being playing with it everyday!



Obviously, I’ve left out a lot of smaller (but no less memorable) events like day trips to Silver Lake, date nights with Steph, and many trips to Meijer fish with CT & Alex – but it’s obvious how God has (and continues to) blessed me and my family! I thank and praise Him for everyday I get to spend with Stephanie, Colin, Alexa, and all of my family and friends!

To all who read this, Best of Luck and God Bless YOU in 2007!
