Monica and Bryon's State of the House Address

Monica and Bryon Pfaff

Who are Monica and Bryon, and what have we been doing lately? I, Monica, am a pharmacist with Target in Irving, Texas, and have been with the company for about 7 years now. Bryon works for McCarthy Building Companies as an engineer. He is currently working on a new performance arts theater in downtown Dallas.

We live in Valley Ranch, near the Dallas Cowboys' Headquarters. We enjoy going out on our boat on Lake Grapevine. Bryon's favorite thing is to fish, while I just try to keep from getting seasick! For the cousins that were our tubing with us in June, take a look at the marina now:

We can't even park in the lower parking lot, as it is 5 feet under water! We really enjoyed taking everyone out and have an open invitation to anyone that wants to go again.

We also enjoy traveling when we get the time. In the past year, we have spent a lot of time with Bryon's parents in Albuquerque, New Mexico. As you probably all know, Bryon's sister passed away in February, so we have stayed busy sorting out all the details. His father has created a website for those of you interested--www.ashleepfaff.com. Please shoot him an email if you like the site! Anyway, we have also been to our favorite get-away, Playa del Carmen, Mexico, in May. In a perfect world, Bryon and I would be traveling food critics, and Playa del Carmen would be our first stop. We tried 6 types of ceviche this time in search of our favorite. YUM!

In the past year, we have definitely learned the value of family and can't say enough about what a great time we had having all the Walt Poling grandkids at our house. Thanks to all of you for making the trek our way!
