Winter Wonderland Adventure

We recently joined our good friends Mike and Jen up in Colorado for a little skiing/snowboarding and just enjoying time in the cold weather. The snow really is so beautiful, you forget how pretty it is when you don't get to see it very often. If you don't already know, I LOVE LOVE LOVE Colorado...everything about it from the endless mountain views, clean-fresh air, outdoor activities, fishing, (Houston loves the hunting) and the gorgeous landscape everywhere you go! Plus it reminds me of when I was a kid and we would spend a month at a time with all of our family playing, camping and having the best time of our lives. Looking back, it really was some of the greatest times with my cousins, aunts and uncles creating memories that we still cherish today. Houston and I would really like to purchase land there one day to build our cabin for retirement. We'd love for our kids and grandchildren to be able to enjoy Colorado one day like we do. Well, Jen is lucky enough from a cute little town, Boulder, CO. So where we went was definitely some of her old stomping grounds. We had such a great time...here are a few pics.

A Wonderful Holiday Season

Houston and I had a lot of fun and exciting things going on in the month of December. We sat front row at a Coyotes game which was a very cool experience, had dinner with some great friends, watched our Godson get baptised and had a really nice Christmas with my family. Wish we would have been able to see Houston's family as well but it didn't happen this year. Hopefully next year! We spent Christmas day at the Cowboys/Cardinals football game with Dan & Ellie. I was happy because the cardinals won, poor Houston was not. It was a great end to the year and we are looking forward to an even better 2011!
