It's been a while

~GREETINGS~

I haven't wanted to really write anything because there hasn't been much to report on as far as jobs, school and a place to call our own go... BUT I guess It would be nice to post something so those of you (if there are any left) who read my blog, know that yes... we are alive!

This was the first Christmas that we actually didn't have to drive a long way to be with family, so of course this is the year that family went to Colorado for the holidays! Regardless it was a good time for all of us. We stayed in some very nice cabins in Estes Park CO and enjoyed being out of the snow that hit the Oregon area. We stayed nice an cozy inside, only venturing out to get Starbucks coffee for Rachel and Hot cocoa for me. We also tried to make a daily trip to Rocky Mountain National Park to look at all the wildlife there, and there was so much! Every time you saw a ton of Elk and Ben even got to see some big horn sheep. We wanted to see a moose but couldn't find one. Oh well... these are some of the pictures we got of the animals. Pretty amazing.

These guys were eating out of these bird feeders. It was pretty amazing to watch!

While we remained toasty inside we filled our time with puzzles and games. Lots of fun!

I will post about our exciting gift exchange this year... idea courtesy of yours truly! and also some of my hunting adventures with Ben and Ory (yes I went!!!)

That is all for now though. Hope everyone is doing well and feel free to drop me a line of greetings!
