Happy New Year of Pig!!!

Wow, the whole winter did fly by. It's my first entry for both 2007 and Year of Pig!

A lot of "first's" have happened that made the long winter short. We have record snow fall in a day in Columbus (which I escaped). Ethan and I went to a OSU men's hockey game - it was his first. Monica and our family went to cross-country skiing in Canada last week - a first for all of us. And I have to mention the heart-breaking loss of OSU football in the championship game - a big letdown for many of the buckeyes. The office was so quiet the day after the game since everybody had a long face. I felt the same but I am glad that my life has more to look forward to other than football.

Oh, I almost forgot, I am starting a new job with DHL on 2/28. Finally, it is here after a long and winding road. It's a 8-month process (or wait). I should be excited right? To be honest, I had cold feet on the day I signed the offer letter. Jeanie "kindly" reminded me that it's really my habit of doing things. Her "gentle" words were effective.

The last few weeks have been very cold in Columbus. To be honest, I am not ready to let winter go yet. Since I haven't gone downhill ski this season. I looked at the forecast and it will be at least 40's starting on Tuesday (sad). Our family and Monica enjoyed the cross-country ski. I pulled Evan on a baby-glider which is pretty easy except going uphill. Mama and Monica got to experience the gentler slopes. Ethan worked hard and he started to get a hang of it. Our family is ready to take the challenge of downhill ski now! But looks like we may have to wait for next year.
