 THE WILKENS CHRISTMAS 2022

Greg
2022 was another year that brought me good health, joy and
gratitude for all that I have been given. My business continues to
grow and provides me the opportunity to work with amazing
people and organizations. I spent countless hours outside cycling,
mountain biking, hiking and running. I was able travel to spend
time with family and friends. And I was blessed with a faith that
grows stronger every day. I end the year as I began it with an
overwhelming sense of optimism about my life and my future.

Jennifer
Jennifer spent this year as she has so many in the past – working
hard, serving others, and growing in her faith. She gave a
presentation on diabetes at a national Medicaid conference in
Phoenix. She led our family in a year-long bible study called Quest
52. And she spent many hours walking Boda. Jennifer approaches
everything with a sense of purpose, commitment and grace that
seems to have no bounds.

Hannah
This was a year of great change, accomplishment and
adventure for Hannah. She finished her dental residency
program in Las Vegas and officially began her career as an
Air Force dentist at Osan Air Base in South Korea.
Hannah has already travelled around southeast Asia quite
a bit, including a recent trip to the DMZ. We are proud of
Hannah and looking forward to a spring trip to Korea to
visit her.

Sarah
This was a year of transition for Sarah. She graduated from
the University of Nevada, Reno in May and moved to San
Diego in June. She spent the summer getting settled in,
enjoying the beauty of San Diego and teaching gymnastics.
She recently started a new job with a company called Rally
Camps that provides summer baseball camps for San Diego
kids. Sarah makes the most of every single day and can often
be found reading a book on the beach, on a daytrip to Mexico
or hiking in the mountains of Southern California.
