2006 / 2007

Time again to look back at the past year!

At first when looking at 2006 I thought it wasn't that great of a year, but after I really started thinking about it, 2006 was a really great year for us. It started with our spirits low as we were still adjusting big time to Dallas and still trying to get over the loss of Hendrix. Though the year started off pretty low, that was the lowest it ever got and as the year went on, things got better and better!! In 2006 we got the chance to do a lot of cool things, both in and out of Dallas. We went to Medieval Times for Jason's birthday, a STARS Hockey with a boyscout troop which was a blast, went to NASCAR with my best friend Melissa and her family which was AMAZING!! We had a ton of visitors as well! Pam came from New York, My cousin Jeff and at the time finance now wife came from St. Louis, my mom and her best friend Sharon came from El Paso, my friend Sarah and her sister Christine came to stay with us for another friends wedding, My best friend Melissa and her boyfriend Frank came for NASCAR , Michaels dad Scot came to help us move and Michaels mom Tanya and step dad Wayne also came to pick up the blazer and some of our furniture.

There were about a billion weddings this year, just a few were Tree and Jason, Kelly and James, Jeff and Jana, and Molly and Woody. As for babies there weren't as many this year as last year, but we had a new pate, Baby Hagen from Michaels cousin Derrick and wife Leigha and then my best friends sister Amanda and her hubby had their second baby, JJ.

As far as trips go, 2006 was an EXCELLENT year! We went down to Hutto (outside of Austin) twice to see Michaels dad and Rhonda, Austin once to see Michaels moms side of the family who were all down there for his cousins graduation, Lubbock for FUN and the llano wine festival, El Paso for Thanksgiving and St. Louis for my cousins wedding. Then we had some BIIIIG trips (which is what keeps me ticking) and the crazy thing was, of the 4 big trips we took this year, we didn't pay for a single one of them! How in the world did that work out for us? First it was off to Tokyo Japan. What an amazing place!! Then about a month and a half later it was off to Mexico on Carnival Cruise Line with 18 people from the Moorhead Family. I can't even put into words how much fun was had on that trip, In October we FINALLY headed back to Denmark after 4 years and that was incredible to not only be back, but also get to find a place to live and then the BIG trip or shall we say move was back to Denmark at the end of November.

It was a fun and busy year and can only hope that 2007 lives up to 2006!
So to all my loyal readers, Cheers to a fun and exciting 2007 and may it be filled with joy and happiness.
