January 2011

Hey guys, so it has been a while since we started the blog and thought that it was time to add an update! We had a busy Holiday season running around, Christy was working 12's for an exercise, and I had my final that week as well! Things slowed down just in time for Christmas Eve! Audrey was SOOOO much fun this year, she really got into it and was all about trying to stay awake to see "Santa"!!! Then we got through the new year holiday and Christy took a month off to study for TSgt. We are getting ready for Audrey's Birthday Party, this will be her first "real" birthday party with a bunch of her friends running around! 
We finally took a day out and headed to Noheji Town to the Makado Onsen Ski resort and Christy had her first trip on her snowboard, and was Awesome! She didn't fall near as many times as I did on my first trip out. It was a great day out overall! A big plus is that we can get to this area in about 45 minutes rather than the 2 hours to get to the bigger resorts, and there were far less people out there! Very few Americans!
Classes started back today and Christy is on the last week of her leave, so it is back to the grind for us! We hope that everyone is doing well, we miss everyone back home!
