The New Year

Hello 2008! We started the year off with a bang. Our little town had a First Night celebration, which was actually a lot of fun! We live a block from where the festivities were held, so it was fun to step out of our apartment, wander down to the square, and hang out with the 1000 people that showed up for the fun. We got some hot chocolate, listened to a DJ, counted down at midnight, shared some New Year's smooches, and the watched a fabulous fireworks display! The best part was that we were home by 12:20 and we got to fully enjoy the festivities! It was really a fun time, but we are sad that we didn't spend it with our friends with whom we usually spend New Year's. We are leaving for Hawaii early in the morning on the 2nd and it seemed wiser to not do too much extra travelling before we go. We still have to pack and clean the apartment before we go. So, the year starts off on a sad note - we aren't with our friends. But, it also starts on a good note - we are heading to Hawaii (okay, that is a VERY good note!). It should be a great trip! I'll try to post lots of pictures! Enjoy the new year everyone! Peace and Happiness for all ~ that is my wish for everyone!
