What a great New Year! We have been thoroughly enjoying 2007. We began this year with an awesome snowmobiling trip with a bunch of friends. Christina drove the snowmobiles for the first time and it was a blast!


Mike tried out snowboarding and he did pretty well, but it is definitely an exhausting sport, especially when it is FREEZING cold outside. Christina kept pretty warm by wrapping a scarf around her face, so nothing was exposed to the chill to the bone wind.


Mike started another semester at the U and things are going pretty well. Every semester is a step closer to graduation, which is down to about 3 years now. We took advantage of his first break for Martin Luther King day by going to Nevada to visit Christina's sister Julie and her family in Ruby Valley. Playing with the cows, chicken, and horses was a ton of fun, and the kids were the cutest!



Ruby Valley was also FREEZING cold, but it was fun to have our own ice skating rink. Mike also showed off his juggling talent.

As always Mike won the love and respect of the nieces and nephews. His trick this time was the game called Minesweeper. :-)


And of course little Annamarie was the cutest of the them all!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! 2007

What a great year 2006 was for us!! We had fun learning and doing many new things in our first year of marriage. We couldn't be happier! We had a wonderful Christmas with Mike's family then the next day we kept celebrating for Mike's 24th birthday. We then filled the week up with sleeping in, relaxing, snowmobiling, painting, relaxing, and more sleeping. :-) It was great!!



We ended the year with a bang by celebrating our first year anniversary on Saturday, the 30th. We went snowmobiling for the first real time together. We tried to go for our honeymoon last year, but there was a white out and then the machines were broken for the rest of the season. So this year we have new (used) machines, and they have been awesome to go flying through the mountains with.


Oh, we also had amazing weather this time!



Then to finish off a great day we had a fabulous dinner at the Asian restaurant Typhoon. It was absolutely the best food! We had a fabulous first year together and we are excited for many more years to come!
