A Good Snow! ...Finally!


Hello All, From the Land of White (sometimes)!


Here we are, January 12th and all of our previous complaints of the lack of snow here in Denver are subsiding. Yes, be it three weeks late, the snow is here!
That's our car, the second one from the bottom, outside my (Brady's) window at work.
About 4 inches fell before we left for work, and at 10:30 there's another inch and a half, with snow still falling.
It amazes us, that a place like Denver, where you would think it snows often, has such terrible traffic problems when white stuff hits the ground. It's not like they're cancelling school or anything (points to the Northwest) but a normally 15 minute commute turning into 35-40? Come on now?
Anyhow, it's a beautiful day here in Denver! (Those of you who live in the Portland area or Spokane, sorry about the picture which probably conjures up nightmares of some sort!)

Happy (late) Holidays





Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  

Over the last three weeks as the Northwest was dumped on with the fluffy white stuff, we've "enjoyed" beautiful clear, sunny days with temperatures reaching the mid sixties.  A new phenomenon I'm labeling "Snow Envy" has certainly come into affect though.  Yes we've had a small bit of snow this year (maybe 6 inches total) but it seems quite ironic that the first year we are away from the Northwest for Christmas it DUMPS!

With the New Year come a few changes for us.  Kaylyn started school yesterday (The 5th) and I started working in the Sales Department at Swiftpage full time.  This comes with a new office, a raise and much more fulfilling and enjoyable work.  Swiftpage has been quite a blessing for us in this transition in our lives.  

Christmas was an interesting time as both of us deeply missed our families and friends.  We spent the day watching movies and cooking.  Overall it was a good day with a high of 55.  

New Years was quite less eventful.  Kaylyn was asleep by 10:30, I watched the ball drop and was asleep shortly after. 

We'd like to wish you all a very Happy New Year and send a congratulations out to Angela who just got engaged, as well as our good friends Eric and Charlotte Bohlmann who have just announced they are expecting!  We are happy for you guys!
