Well we rang in the New Year will a few of our friends at our place.  It was a nice little crowd and we enjoyed some good Italian eats and Presseco.  The Germans love their fire works as every grocery store sold crazy amounts of fireworks and at midnight our neighborhood went crazy in the streets.  Even the Chinese Restaurant Owner Mr. Lee was having a ball letting off fireworks.  Here are a couple pictures from the evening festivities.  Happy New Year and we are looking forward to our first full year in Munich. 

 Well we are a little slow in getting our Holiday Cards out this year, so I decided to try my hand at making a movie.  So below is a low bandwidth movie on our European Travels thus far.  We will be send DVDs home that is of DVD widescreen quality-forwarning it is 25 minutes long.  Enjoy and we are loving Munich and European life-hope you come to visit.  For family and friends you can check out the video on our shared SkyDrive at https://cid-88559c42a20e0888.skydrive.live.com/browse.aspx/FriendsandFamily?uc=1  

 

So we made it to our three year wedding anniversary two weeks ago.  Greg was wonderful and planned our first trip to the ALPs to Solden in Austria.  It was amazing!  The village was so cute and the snow was great!  We had a fun trip with 60 of our new best friends from the Munich Ski Club.  We have to admit we spent most of our time with a bunch of british blokes that could really drink!  We saw the glacier and had amazing snowboarding expereince and listened to a band on top of the mountain.   We were exhausted but had a great time.  Our pension was great and we are really looking forward to the winter holiday on the slopes.  I go on vacation next Friday and we are ready to do several day trips and at least one that will include a SPA.  To see pictures of this trip you will have to visit my husband, Greg’s space- http://cid-00ff01d44a3debf0.spaces.live.com/Photos/cns!FF01D44A3DEBF0!792/ Yes, we keep the Microsoft support in the family- everyone should have a Microsoft SPACE isn’t it the greatest!  The picture below is of us enjoying a beer and Gluhwein at the top of the glacier in a great little pub with a very traditional Austrian spirit and a picture of the mountain.
