Welcoming the year 2010

After putting the kids to bed we joined our neighbors and friends for dinner to celebrate the New Year. After dinner we played games, okay, the guys played games and the gals just chatted until we watched the ball drop in Times Square. At midnight we went outside and lit some fireworks that are very illegal in Ohio. Like my dad used to tell us, "you're not having fun unless you're getting into trouble... just don't get caught." Well, we had a lot of fun and no we didn't get caught. We really are blessed to have such awesome friends here in Ohio! Which leads to this next part . . . Dana did a great job describing our New Year's Day on her blog, so I stole the following from her blog:

After staying up late to celebrate the new year and the new decade we thought why not get up and go for a run at 9am?! It was FREEZING (positive 1 with the windchill)! Again, what were we thinking?! After it was said and done we had a great time, eventually warmed up enough to carry on a conversation while we made our way around the base. It was a great way to start our year off! Plus now when we kick off our half marathon training outside it won't seem so bad after all! And maybe just maybe I will have Shersti and Rachel convinced to run a full marathon by next year---here's to hoping!!!
