We've also arrange a huge online photo album for your viewing convenience that we will keep updated. ENJOY!

"Let It Snow" & "TIMBER"

"LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW"

It hasn't stopped snowing in Central Oregon for almost a week now! Yesterday we finally got some substantial snow here in town, but up onto Mt. Bachelor ...it's ridiculous! Courtney and I have season passes and so far we've been snowboarding at least three times a week! It took about two solid days to get the hang of snowboarding, and I think we've got it. We did a black diamond yesterday and didn't die...so there you have it.

"TIMBER!"

After snowboarding yesterday, we went and chopped down our Christmas Tree (click here for pictures). It was so much fun! We got a tree permit, 4x4ed through the National Forest, hiked through 2 feet of fresh snow and finally found our perfect little tree! I took to it for several minutes with my new hatchet, and it came "TIMBERING" down! It was hard work but we're proud of our tree and our adventure to get it. Sure, buying a tree from a lot in town is probably cheaper, easier, and a better use of your time...but this way we have a great story and an awesome memory together with our first Christmas tree!

We're Officially Oregonians!

Well...the wedding is done, the honeymoon was amazing, and the move was a success! After sweating bullets at the DMV (stupid test - I BARELY passed - they had a question about horses...crazy Oregon folk :) we have officially become Oregonians! We have a Drivers License, sweet pad, killer ride, jobs, and eachother...what else could you need in life? Courtney is officially and legally a "CHRISTENSON" and I couldn't be happier! Tomorrow marks the opening of Mt Bachelor! Mt B. sits just outside Bend and is one of the Northwest premiere ski resorts. We have season passes and can't wait to snowboard like crazy for the next 5 months. That's pretty much our life. We've revolved our work schedules around having fun together in central Oregon during the day light hours. We've made money almost our least priority (enough to make life exist and happen) and made our marriage our top priority! We want to just have fun together this next year and have crazy adventures every day of the week...why settle for anything else but daily crazy adventures...life's too short!

Upon leaving Maui, we traveled to so many places and serioulsy lived out of suitcases for almost 3 months! And now it feels so good to be in our own place and start our life together. We don't know a single soul here and that's very appealing right now. This is the first time that Court and I have been able to simply be us...and it's so refreshing!

It's chilly outside, there's snow on the mountians, and we're ganna go play in it! Until next time...
