Hi All,
I wrote the letter below in an effort to utilize some of the French I have learned. I also put the English translation (what I was trying to say) below it. I'd appreciate someone looking at it and providing any necessary corrections.

Bonjour Bob, ça va? Je vais bien. Le temps change et le soleil brille une partie du temps. Les enfants sont heureux et ma femme aime son travail. J'aime mon travail aussi. À ce moment, je travaille pour faire de nouveaux produits pour mon entreprise. Apres deux ans, je deviendrai un gérant.
Nous aimons bien notre maison ici en France. Elle a deux etages et une grande salle de séjour. Dehors, elle a beaucoup des arbres fruits.
Nous allons aller à la Turquie pour ce weekend. Nous allons prendre un avion de Luxembourg à Turquie. Nous sommes excité pour les vacances.
------ English version of what I was trying to say ----
Hi Bob, how are you? I'm doing well. The weather is changing and the sun is shining some of the time. The kids are happy and my wife likes her work. I like my work as well. At the moment, I'm working to make new products for my company. After two years, I will become a manager.
We like our house here in France very much. It has two floors and a large family room. Outside, it has a lot of fruit trees.
We are going to go to Turkey this weekend. We are going to take a plane from Luxembourg to Turkey. We are excited for the vacation.

Thank you very much for your assistance,
Josh

Hi Josh -one thing I noticed: a fruit tree is un arbre fruitier. Not sure whether the plural would agree, i.e. 'fruitiers'. Probably yes!
Glad you are enjoying your French house!
Regards,
Jackie
À ce moment -> En ce moment
Apres deux ans, je deviendrai un gérant. -> Dans deux ans, je deviendrai gérant
I'm agree with Jackie concerning the fruit trees
pour ce weekend -> pour le weekend or ce weekend
Nous allons prendre un avion de Luxembourg à Turquie -> Nous prendrons l'avion au Luxembourg pour aller en Turquie.
Nous sommes excité pour les vacances - > Nous sommes impatients d'être en vacances.
Great feedback! Thank you both very much for the help and motivation! Josh.
