Happy New Year to all of our friends and family. We are still in Arizona. We spent the last couple of weeks in a town called Buckeye, which is just outside Phoenix. It's been chilly while we've been here...it must go down to about 3-6 degrees here at night... but the days make up for it. It should be 21 this afternoon. 
Last week we spent Christmas with Tina's cousin Michael (great name) and his family. Also, Tina's Grandma and aunt and unclewere here as well from Melfort. It was a pleasant reunion.
While Tina went shopping with Julie and Grandma T and Aunty Barb, the boys and I went to the Arizone Science Center. Our admission was free because we bought season passes back in Seattle, but we had to pay extra for the imax and the STAR TREK exhibit.
The Imax was the BEST EVER. It was in 3D, and it was all about the Grand Canyon. the kids and I loved it. The Star Trek display was interesting, but not worth the price you pay. We weren't allowed to take pictures, but I did anyway. how often do you get a chance to sit on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise. I snapped about 10 pictures before I was caught and asked to stop.
House Prices here are Stupid low. You can buy a 2000 square foot home with a pool and hot tub for about 100,000 dollars. We were tempted, but alas our better judgement prevailed.
We are here for 4 more days before we head to Tuscon and then to New Mexico.
Of course I do have my new years resolutions...
1) Eat Healthier... I have started by cutting out my Coca Cola habit
2) become more disciplined in my walk with God ( that seems to be a recuring resolution)
3) Become a better husband and father to my family My goal is to live a Galations 5 life. Read it and you'll understand
Until next time
Michael and family
