Happy Holidays!!

We wanted to take a moment to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! We are disappointed that we won't get to see everyone this Christmas -- splitting time between two families is really hard -- but we're working out a "rotation" to try and make it somewhat fair going forward. And... we're hoping once we have a bigger house (and possibly have some kids), maybe we can get both families to come to us, but it looks like that might be at least 2 years off, so for now, we'll have to make the best of the situation. We know that it's not perfect, but we appreciate our families' flexibility.

On a different note, I've been traveling quite a bit for work and was able to take a few pictures and thought I'd share them. The picture above was taken in NYC. I was there for a few days last week and also had a chance to spend some time with 2 of my favorite people (other than Ryan, of course) - Becky & Jordan. They took me to see the Radio City Christmas Spectacular and it was amazing!!

The week before that, I spent 2 days in Colorado and then a day in sunny California. The day I arrived in Colorado, it started snowing and didn't stop until the next day, and it was absolutely gorgeous but absolutely FREEZING! When we left for work, it was 9 degrees! I have included a few of the pictures from Colorado below. The first is the view from the office we were sitting in and the second is a picture that was taken outside the office when we got back from lunch.

From Colorado, I headed to sunny California for a day, where it was about 65 degrees and beautiful! I have included a picture below that I took while sitting in my rental car on my way to work in the morning. The roadsign in the middle of the picture is Huntington Blvd which is Historic Route 66. Although it was tiring, all in all, it was a nice trip, but I was happy to be home when it was over!
