Happy 2010

So we pretty much stink at updating our amazing blog. I'm sitting here in Costa Rica on a Sunday morning with nothing better to do. Here's what has been happening since October (our last post).

For me, the rest of the USC football season was a total disappointment. Top talent, great head coach, and really crappy assistent coaches. This is probably a topic Abbey definitely wouldn't address, but it is a necessity and one of the biggest parts of my life. I received horrible news while here in CR, Pete Carroll is leaving. Sad, sad day. Life goes on.

The rest of the year for us was rather uneventful with school and everything. Abbey did very well at school and I had an average first semester at Thunderbird. I've enjoyed the international experiences that I've had, and met lots of interesting people.

We enjoyed Halloween and Thanksgiving with Ginger's family. They have been so good to us and have given us so many meals! They are a lot of fun to be with. I saw Ginger's real crazy side when the kids went to be early one night and Brady taught all of us to play Texas Hold Em'. She's almost as goofy as Abbey!

After finals ended, Abbey and I went to Disneyland. It was a great way to enjoy the holidays. It wasn't over crowded and the whole park was decorated for Christmas. Abbey fell in love with the place and immediately wanted to purchase season tickets for next year. Maybe down the road once we have some money and we'll think about purchasing some season tickets.

We went out to Chi-town for Christmas. It was a ton of fun and we went downtown and played Beatles rockband for hours. We watched a ton of movies and ate lots of junk food as well as some good home cooking. Abbey and I didn't get to celebrate New Years together because she had to return for work and it was cheaper for me to fly to Costa Rica than from Phoenix. Other than that, life is good!
