snow, Snow, SNOW

Well... What a weekend of Christmas for us already. We're really thankful that Christ is our savior and that we had this weekend to celebrate and enjoy time spent with such a variety of my (Mary) family that hadn't been seen in a very long time. As a family tradition we watch "White Christmas" every year and I must say that Bing Crosby will never go out of style in my mind. 

So on to this snow thing. I know that I am a true valley dweller now when I get as giddy as a child at the sight of those fluffy little flakes and even more jubilant when they stick (of course I also have that child-like desire deep in my heart that school... now work... will be cancelled for the day). I was raised at 1500 feet where snow every winter, and lots of it, was and still is a common occurance. Yay SNOW!!! Take a look what we peeped outside our front door here in South Corvallis tonight.

My Christmas gift from my amazing wife!

Mary gave me a very memorable gift this weekend. We went to see the USGP cyclocross national finals in Portland. It was an amazing race at Portland International Raceway. Check the pics:

Yes, that is a huge mud puddle.

So close we can sit on it. 

We got a new digital camera that has amazing zoom capability. This is from the 40 yard line, 20 rows up. Hi Lyle!

Cold but sunny.

Sammie Stroughter. About to make a run like a madman down to the 2 yard line. Again with the camera. Nice Nikes.

Sold out. Come on PAC-10 champions!
