Happy New Year!

What an amazing year 2006 had been!!! I can't even begin to put into words how awesome it was... It was a year of great changes and big challenges as Rob and I embarked on a new chapter of our lives. We have learned to live together under one roof... Ironically, DIVIDING responsibilities and chores, while SHARING wealth and possessions :-) Getting use to my new name is another major change this year... And last but definitely not the least, some unpleasant incidences have occurred, which made our family a lot stronger and closer than ever! It's weird yet true, but because of this, we now have more peaceful times than before and we value these more than anything! We smile more. We laugh louder. We hug each other tighter. We lift each other higher. We help each other harder. We dream bigger. We're just really really thankful that we're all spending time with each other more and we're planning more vacations together in the near future, which makes this year--and the years after--something to look forward to!

So, to pay homage to 2006, we partied it up on New Year's Eve.


Kathryn's favorite-->ROMAN CANDLES!

Gold and Silver fountain



Another fountain



One of the great FINALEs... We had awesome ones that rivaled that of Magic Kingdom's... Too bad I was enjoying watching them instead of taking pictures :-(



50 Roman Candles --> $50
40 Sparklers --> $20
100 Bottle Rockets --> $60
10 Fountains --> $30
4 Huge light showers --> $30
1 Amazing Fireworks finale --> $25
Children's faces filled with amazement --> PRICELESS


Next year will be a LOT BETTER! Kathryn and Rob--our fireworks connoisseurs--are already making plans on what to buy and how to execute them!

Again, we'd like to wish you all a PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR with great health, happiness and peace :-)

Hi Kerstin!
Happy late new year!!! It looks like you guys had a blast! It does seem like we have had a very similar year! Of course getting married in May, and honeymooning in HAWAII! But also just the settling in to married life, a new name, and getting to spend alot more quality time with the whole family. I think its so great how you guys have learned to appreciate eachother so much and spend so much fun time together!!! Also a family vacation this year sounds like a great plan!!!
I hope you and Rob have such a wonderful 2007 and I will be praying and thinking of you throughout the year!
