New Years and more

For New Years Eve we were back from Meerane and at our apartment.  Because we were planning on traveling more on the first we were one of those boring couples and didn't stay up until midnight.  Though all the people shooting off a bajillion fireworks I was woken up at midnight.  I don't normally write any resolutions down, but I thought of something that would be good to keep in mind and it is to move forward and don't look back.  I spend to much time dwelling on how things could have been it I had done this and this, but it never does me any good.  So my resolution for the year is to look forward on what is to come and enjoy my life everyday.

Eddy also had the week after New Years off so we went to Saarbrücken to visit a person that Eddy baptized on his mission.  It was a fun week.  We spent time walking around the city.  On the walk along the river we came across some trees that were pretty cool.  Here they are:

There was a whole line of these trees and you want to know the first thought I had when I saw these trees?  I looked and them and told Eddy that these trees reminded me of the Whomping Willow tree talked about in the Harry Potter books and featured in a couple of the movies.

Christmas and New Years

This year has gone by slowly and quickly.  For Christmas this year Eddy and I stayed in Utah and had Christmas by oursleves.  In our small Twin Creek Apartment we didn't have any room for our tree so here is what we did instead.

Our Christmas tree card and treat jar was our Christmas tree.  I thought it was pretty funny and it saved me having to try to find the space and time to put the tree up.  We were given much by our families and we are grateful.

For New Year's Eve we went to a party at the church done by the Bartholomew's and the activities committee.  It was really fun.  Eddy and I did really well in the relay races and did well in the three legged race. 

Farewell 2009 and Welcome 2010.
