I understand that many of you probably would wonder who we are and why we have not written in the blog. I assure you that it is not because I am not an active participant of the blog because I read it all the time. I enjoy hearing from everybody. As of late I have been so busy with interviews about my amazing fantasy football championship. People from all around want to know how I did it, so, I tell them, and, they listen. But in all seriousness, we have had a wonderful holiday season that will end in appro. 38 hours when I will be starting up again at school and Tracey will go back to babysitting and everything else that she does somehow in a 24 hour day. On the 15th of December we flew back to Utah to be with Traceys family. On the 16th we left for a cabin in Northern Utah to celebrate our anniversary since we have not been able to as of late because of the inconvenient time of finals at BYU. We went snowmobiling while there which was fun but also had its problems. The machine was a 2 seater so it was quite heavy. We were told not to go out into the snow, just to stay on the road, but, Tracey, the deviant soul that she is, decided to embark into the side paths. Not more than 20 feet into this snow the machine tipped over and we jumped off. We were not going very fast but the whole things suprised us because there was no reason why it should have tipped. To make a long story short, we tried over and over again to start the machine and it would not. I tell you, I was so mad at that thing. Here we were stranded 15 miles from camp and we had no idea what to do. Finally it started after about 30 mins. of frustration and pulling of the cord. We did enjoy the rest of the day because we were a little more careful. I could not believe that this stupid, "snowmobile" could not go in 2 feet of packed snow, what a joke. The rest of the holidays went well. We celebrated Haydens birthday at Chuck E. Cheeses. He was a little overstimulated. We were able to spend a good amount of time with Peter and Anne which was fun. Darts......well, I did bowl a 168 when we did that, if I remember right, peter missed the century mark, unfortunate. Also, we went skiing at sundance while we were there, that was a lot of fun. Overall, it was a great time and I am very glad to be back here in Cleveland getting back into the swing of things. Hopefully all is well with you guys. We love you all and look forward to hearing from you. Thank you Marnie for the Book for Tracey, she loves it. Thanks Mom and Dad for spoiling us. Dave and Adina, thanks for the sweater for Hayden, he wore it in his Christmas picture. And Brooke, thanks for getting that gift, I will look forward to it, it is the thought that counts. Talk to yal later.
Love, Tom Tracey and Hayden
