What a joyous day it will be...

WHEN WE GRADUATE!!
That's right! Only one more semester to go until Dan and I both graduate from the U! I am so excited! I have been waiting for this day to come for quite some time now. It has been a long journey, but the end is in sight. Plus, I get to share it with my sweet husband. These next few months are going to be busy since both of us are working full time and taking classes, but it will be worth it in the end! We are excited to become the graduating class of 2010!

Winter Wonderland

Well this is my first official post of 2010, and I am excited for the new year! It's a fresh start and a new chapter to our lives. We had a wonderful Christmas with our families. Dan's parents visited us Christmas morning and we had Christmas dinner with my family. We decided to celebrate New Year's up in Kamas. On New Year's Eve, Dan, his dad Paul, and I took a snowmobile ride up Hoyts Peak. It was absolutely gorgeous! The sun was shining and there was a fresh blanket of powder covering the mountains. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect day for snowmobiling. It was a great kick off to a new year!



Like I said, it was absolutely beautiful, a complete Winter Wonderland.









Dan and Paul enjoying the winter air.










Dan the man.





Here I am, my face was squished because my helmet was so tight.











We love Kamas!





If you can't tell, that's me. I feel so miniature and weak when riding these heavy sleds, but they are fun. It's a good upper body workout.















That's Dan playing in the snow.





Doing what he loves best, snowmobiling!




Dan rolling the snowmobile after a sharp turn.




The man in action!




Attempt #2 on the snowmobile.





Here he goes...




...and rolls the sled yet again.
If you look closely, you can see his helmet in the powder, pretty cool eh?




Dan signaling to us that he is ok. Thank goodness for soft snow.





Paul watching Dan dig his snowmobile out of the knee deep powder. I should have helped him but I was having more fun taking pictures.



















My favorite picture, I love the snowmobile tracks in the snow.




All in all, it was a good day.
