Misc. Things we have been doing lately...
Graduation Day. Here is Ty and the other Captians of Delta Company. This was Tylers first cycle as a Series Commander, he did an amazing job. Graduation was a lot of fun!
(Ty is the second from the left)
The Utah vs Navy game.
So, I havent figured out how to rotate this picture yet. Anyway, this was taken just outside the Dr Phil studio. Tyler and I went with our friends Patty and Cody to a taping a couple weeks ago. Once we find out the air date I will let everyone know. We were able to get front row seats!
Merry Christmas
Here are some photos from our Christmas in San Diego. Tyler had to work so we spent the holiday together in California. We really missed our families but still had a lot of fun together.
Even though it was just the two of us, we managed to have a lot of presents under our tree.
I love presents!!!
Here was an amazing painting Laurel painted and gave to us. The picture was taken of a lighthouse in Maine that Tyler and I visited over the summer. So pretty, I can't wait to hang it in our home.
My new BlackBerry Pearl! I love it!
Christmas Eve: Charges vs Broncos
Christmas Eve: We got Ty tickets to the Charges/Bronco's game. This was taken before the game, we were so excited! 
This was taken after the game, the Bronco's lost. All our excitement was gone.

Groucho Marx Quips
Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?
Next time I see you, remind me not to talk to you.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly and applying the wrong remedies.
Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted.
Remember, we're fighting for this woman's honor, which is probably far more than she's ever done!
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you've got it made.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.
Who are you going to believe, me or your own eyes?
Why a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can't make head nor tail out of it.
Why should I care about posterity? What's posterity ever done for me?
Women should be obscene and not heard.

Good Times In Germany
Germany was amazing! Such a beautiful country and we went at a great time. I loved all their Christmas markets and decorations. Below are some pictures from our trip. Did I mention I had an awesome time? It was a lot of fun spending time with my brothers and Natalie. I only wish Tyler could have been there, he would have loved all the history.
Cologne Cathedral...this picture really doesn't do it justice. The cathedral is massive!
Heidelburg Castle
Marksburg Castle
Checkpoint Charlie (at the Berlin Wall)
An authentic Chastity Belt....yikes!
Bergen-Belsen Concentration Camp, where Anne Frank died. This was an amazing experience, I've never been anywhere so sad before. I can't believe something like this could actually happen. The buildings here were all burned down, but they still have the mass graves of over 50,000 people. They also have an amazing museum.
Kathy, Natalie and Rob in Marburg
