An introduction to 2013

Welcome to the family!

Bill, Melissa, Annika, Andrew and Christopher, aka the Faught gang.  We are a typical family who tries to cram as much as we can into our schedules as possible.  2013 may have been the most crammed yet! However we have had a blast!

Just to get things started . . . a quick recap on the year so far.  In February Annika and I went to Thermal (Palm Desert, CA) where she rocked the horse show and earned Grand Champion of her division!

We Love you Agnes!

Then it was off to Hawaii for our annual Spring break.  FUN TIMES (Picture above). I can never get enough of Hawaii!  This year we were able to bring Anna DeKorte.  I realize that the more people we have with us, the more fun we have!!  


Two weeks after that, I took Annika and Andrew to Europe for a horse buying trip.  We had so much fun!  I was in constant awe of the culture, the architecture and the absolute beauty of Europe.  I can't wait to go back and spend more time there - maybe even more time out of barns :)
Horse buying Dream Team!

It was here, on a little island off of Germany, that we found the new member of our family -- Anka.


Anka is so beautiful and talented.  We are very blessed to have found her! She and Annika make a wonderful team together!  

After that we weren't home very long before Bill and I celebrated our 20th anniversary in St. Thomas, Virgin Islands.  What a beautiful place!  We had so much fun.  We realized how much we love spending time together.  Now we are looking forward to another romantic getaway, as soon as my mom recovers from all of the weeks she has held down the fort at our house.  This may not be in the very near future (LOVE you mom!)
