Holly Jolly Christmas.

Family Photo with the D O G's

For Christmas this year it turned out that Andy and I would not be able to make it home to our families. Several reasons held us back. At first we were a bit bummed out, lonely feeling, and sad, and relieved (it gets hectic going back to MN and trying to visit everyone). We talked to our friends mom on Christmas Eve and invited her to dinner as her son, daughter-in-law, and Granddaughter would not make it back to MT due to plane problems. We new she was home by herself and didn't want her to be lonely. When talking to her on the phone she told us that she was cozy and content at home by herself. We told her it was just us 2 here for Christmas and she told us to "Enjoy it." She lost her husband a few years back- she said she remembers 1 Christmas were it was just the two of them. It made me feel so good to hear her say that and really made me embrace and treasure this Christmas with just Andy and I. I completely loved it. I feel so blessed. I feel so blessed for our relationship, respect, and love for each. I am so thankful for someone who is my best friend and who can make me laugh like no other. We have so much fun together, I wouldn't trade it for anything. We spent Christmas Day at one of my favorite little spots on the mountain in my favorite little town. Although it was cloudy, it was still beautiful as always. Here are some pictures from our lovely little Christmas.

Cutest D O G on the planet.

You must "Believe." Santa did come and left his partially ate cookies.

New Buggie.

The snow is great for early season and we are taking total advantage of it. Here are a few pics from a day on our sleds up in Taylor Fork. We bought a new 2013 Skidoo and it is so fun and so amazing in the powder. It is going to be a fun fun year on it.

Fresh Powder!

Did you know it's almost possible to drowned in snow? That's how deep the snow was a Big Sky this past weekend (12-22-13). It was such good snowboarding up at big sky. I at one point got stuck in such deep I thought I was not ever getting out. Although winter snuck up on me fast (for a minute there I thought I was getting too old to like the cold and snow) We are enjoying it every chance we can. PS. Big Sky and Bridger got about 30+ inches of snow in 3 days. AMAZING.

Fresh Powder in your face.

Music Weekend.

Back on the weekend of November 22 and 23rd, Andy and I spent the weekend going to music shows. The first was Friday night to see The Zach Brown Band. Although the venue is not the greatest, the show was fun and entertaining. ZBB played a little of everything including Metallica and Nirvana. On Saturday we went out to the Filler bar in to see Keller Williams play. Andy introduced me to Keller William a little over 2 years ago. The guy is a music Genius. He is absolutely incredible. Here are a few pics from the shows.
