2016, Happy New Year

Happy New Year from theChristyBel (and Marc)!

Today, we started the year off right by going on a hike. We travelled the second loop up of the Millbrook Mountain trail to the Millbrook Cross Path and down the Trapps Road. We wanted to make sure that we had enough time to come back and prep a huge turkey that my parents had given us for Christmas!

Later this evening, we had the Toman's over for a New Years Day Dinner! The huge turkey was on the menu, along with stuffing, roasting veggies, mashed sweet potatoes, snickerdoodle cookies, and homemade marshmallows! Super delicious! Of course, similar to all turkey dinners, we all ended up in turkey food comas!

Here's to 2016 being totally awesome as 2015!

First Hike of the New Year

My knees are slowly allowing me to do all of the fun things I enjoy - but I must dive back into all those fun activities one step (literally) at a time. Friday, I got a text from one of my friends back in Delaware informing me he was passing through and wanted to see if a visit was possible. Having anyone come through Laramie from home is just awesome! So, of course I said yes!

Saturday morning, my friend, Wyeth, stopped by for a some brunch and hopefully a chance to check out what Laramie had to offer. So after having breakfast burritos at the Prairie Rose, we drove over to Vedauwoo for a hike around the formations. It was so beautiful there! I had not been back to Vedauwoo since Marc left for Jackson and when the first snow came and stayed.

Below are some photos from our 2-hour hike in Vedauwoo. Enjoy!
