1. Merry Christmas 2014
From Craig & Melissa

2. Merry Christmas to One and All!
2014 was blessed year indeed. Melissa and I celebrated our
five-year anniversary over Labor Day weekend. If I were to
add it all up, we have had over 2000 dates so far. Just
getting started.
If you want pictures from our year, visit my Facebook and
“friend” me for continuous updates.

Our lives, and a billion other’s lives are an even more open
book these days.

3. A Year of Partnering!
Graham and Nicol now happily married! Nicol started
working at Wesse Langley Wesse Architects in June,
specializing in affordable housing and university projects,
and loves every minute of it. Graham continues to teach
building science courses and consult on various sustainable
building projects.
When they are not planning adventures to exotic island
nations or perfecting their pad Thai recipe, all of their time
is devoted to looking for a multi-family building they can
call home. With Graham in energy efficiency and Nicol in
architecture, their home will no doubt be a stop on the Green
Built Home Tour one day!

4. Best wedding of the year!

13. Monkey business as usual.
My recruiting business had good year as did my team of 7.
Dating for Life is a good “evergreen” book, and a nice
methodology for building sustainable relationships.
I’m shopping RIO, a romance suspense novel, for agents to
launch the book by 2016, before the Summer Olympics
debut.
Stay tuned. www.CraigSWilson.com
