It Took Moving to Seattle....

For me (Angela) to see Brett Favre play (no less for the NY Jets). It has been snowing since Thursday here in Seattle and the city has shut down, except for those Seahawks fans. On a last minute whim Mark and I got in the Jeep and headed to Qwest Field to watch the Seahawks take on the Jets in Coach Holmgren's last home game. He was once again facing Brett Favre in the snow. Here are a few pics from the game and the snow around us. Seriously, people were skiing in the streets.

Who says it doesn't snow much in Seattle

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Even being 2000 miles from home, I was able to attend 3 Packer games this year. I bet the Pack wishes I could have attended more, as they went 3-0 during the games I attended. I was able to see them beat the Vikings and Colts in Green Bay, and the Seahawks in Seattle.




My buddies Al and Charlie Hatfield joined me in September to watch Oklahoma State travel to Seattle to play the Washington State. The 3 of us represented Oklahoma proud, and the Cowboys destroyed the Cougars on a sunny autumn day in Seattle.

So, Angela finally gave me (Mark) write access to her blog. With this valuable information, expect several skiing, hiking, and adventurous photos of the northwest! In the meantime, please enjoy the following Christmas photos as we try to enjoy our 1st Christmas away from both of our homes.

We did put up a tree this year, and I suprised Angela with lights on the house when she was away visiting her family in Tulsa over Thanksgiving. We did try to encorporate as many tree ornaments as we could to remind us of our families back in Wisconsin and Oklahoma.

Merry Chrismas, and God Bless you all!!
