Moving Across America!
ok so this is very late but none the less here it is. My brother Josh asked me if I would like to help him move to Tucson Arizona (from St.Louis) in January and I of course thought it would be a good time to help him because it would be cool temperature wise and just fun to see five different states. Missouri, Oklahoma, Texas, New Mexico, and Arizona! So we got the largest truck Penske makes and filled it to the brim and still hadn't loaded the furniture yet. So we headed back to Penske to get another truck and trailer.
Our trip was great overall but we did hit a speed bump or two on the way. I think it was in Oklahoma my truck ( the BIG diesel )broke down and we waited for road side assistance but soon got back on the road again and we were onto Texas where we stayed at the Big Texan Motel - and for your information, it was a dump, but at least the heat worked! Our plan was to see some roadside america and stop at Cadillac Ranch ( 10 Cadillac's standing vertically buried in the earth ) just outside of Amarillo Texas. You can check out the website at http://www.roadsideamerica.com/story/2220
As we were driving west I saw it out of the corner of my eye and grabbed my camera and just stuck it out the window shooting hoping to get something. It never occurred to me that it could have been on the other side of the road! We did not stop or turnaround because we had some time to make up and needed to get to Arizona! Maybe next time!
While in Arizona, Josh Koren and Katie's house was not quite ready to move in yet, due to closing stuff. (big story) We had to unload the trucks and get them returned, and so we ended up filling a 30 foot storage unit.
It was great to see my dad, pam, grandma bobbie and pa pa ed while there. I also went and checked out Saguaro National Park and got some nice shots of some cactus. Anyways that was end to my trip to get to go photograph the park at sunset and all the other interesting things along our way.

HOCKEY!
This past Thursday we had the awesome opportunity to get to see the Avalanche v. Maple Leafs game up at the Pepsi Center in Denver. We went with friends, Shane & Jocelyn, and were later joined by Jeremiah & Brittany. Since we are fairly neutral unless the STL Blues are playing, we opted to cheer for the Maple Leafs (since Shane & Jocelyn root for them being former Canadian residents and such), and the Maple Leafs ended up winning the game (Jeremiah & Brittany were less than thrilled since they are Avalanche fans). Natalie had a great time at her first NHL game...she had quite the attention from many of the surrounding fans, and lots of great lights and motion to look at throughout the game!

p.s. We only had our phone to take these pics, so if Jocelyn sends us some pics off her camera, we'll give you a few more from the game!

Buggy's First Bike Ride!
Despite January usually being the coldest month of the year here, we had some amazingly nice weather toward the end of the month, so we took an opportunity to take Natalie on her very first bike ride! We went on the Santa Fe trail, which has a starting point right behind our church and actually could take you all the way to Wyoming (we opted to only go as far as into the Air Force Academy open space). We had bought Buggy a buggy (ha, ha) off Craigslist back in December, and she enjoyed it for at least most of the trip. By the end I think she'd had enough since it was a little bumpy on the trail, but she did a really good job!
