carving out the future...















when i say 'carving', i'm referring to snowboarding :) this new year's eve was spent with our pals, sacha and nathaniel, snowboarding in korea. i, emily, can officially board! off with the skis, and into the boarding culture i plunge :) it was awesome. trent patiently coached me all day, as nate guided sacha, and by the end we could successfully carve out a path down the mountain.

in honour of entering a 'fresh phase' (2007), i cut off my hair... all by myself (with a bit of help from dear sacha). i feel the short cut suits my personality better, and am excited to enter the coming months with a new look.

we pray for you, dear friends, that this new year will also be one of new outlooks and fresh perspectives. may you find God and crave His company, and may His angels protect and guide you. love em and trent.

Eeks! (This is a parent talking...)
At least it will grow back. :)
Certainly is a 'fresh' look for a new year. Glad it doesn't change the real you -- want to keep you!
Congratulations on learning snow boarding - that's an accomplishment. Mom & I will stick to cross-country skiing - if we ever get any snow!
Love, Pa

Totally lovin' the hair! It's sooo cute! I am glad to see that you look so happy. Just wanted you to know how much I appreciate you. You have been quite an inspiration to me in the short time I have talked to you via email. Thanks so much for being patient with my questions. I wish you and Trent the best for 2007.

O MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!! YO HAIR!!!!
You look like a stunning Annie Lennox! I'm almost speachless ... this is a total compliment -- you kind of remind me of my mom with that hair (she went through a super short phase around the time I got married) anyways, certainly new hair for a new year =) Congrats on the snowboarding deal, if I work up enough courage I may try surfing in the spring with Jay...we'll see =) Have a most wonderful and exciting new year! (You already are)
Love, A.

Wow! You are a brave one. I've never gone quite that short, almost that short, but I looked much more like a boy. You still look like a girl. :) Thanks for posting one my blog. And you won't have to buy an aphgan, you couldn't afford it! ;) Some day I'll make one for you. It just takes a lot of time. Glad you got the papers. Love you both.

EMILY!!! You are so awesome! I am so inspired and encouraged by your life:) I love the hair, you look beautiful, and it suits you.

I do not have the courage to go boarding yet, so I am impressed! Sounds as though you had a great time--awesome.

I miss you too!! Thanks for your comment on my blog. I would LOVE for us to connect when you get back...only a road trip away:)

love you, Mel

I wouldn't have wanted to bring in the New Year any other way. Thanks for the great weekend guys. Enjoyed ever last morsel. I don’t think I’ve laughed that much in a while. We are praying for you guys and love you so much. So eager to see what our future holds.

By the way, tell Robert I said, ‘Hi’ and that I’m looking forward to manipulating him to achieve my life long goal of an island world empire.

Happy New Year, Trent and Em.

Em, totatlly awesome cut on you. You are indeed a brave soul doing it yourself. (getting by with a little help from your friends)
I have enjoyed seeing you "emerge and transform" from one style to another .. it has been fun.

Talk to you both soon .... and Trent, we want to hear more from you too. We love both of your styles of writing, so there.

Love you lots,
Auntie D. and family
