Hello, 2008!
January 3rd, 2008
Ahhhh… second day back at work after a nice long vacation. Feels good.
With the newly rented Grand Prix, Karen and I set out on a whirlwind tour of the northeast, from MA to CT to NJ, back to MA, and up to NY before finally finishing back home. We visited my family in Dudley, Karen’s family in CT, my brother’s family in NJ, Karen’s family in NJ, the cat back in MA, then Karen’s college friends in NY.
We each got and gave a bunch of great gifts, and what’s awesome is that my parents gave us a dishwasher! I finally got to meet the entirety of Karen’s family, which was also awesome and a little intimidating as there were 20ish of us all staying in the same house.
There was a ridiculous amount of snow falling on the 30th in Albany, but luckily it was light and fluffy so the car swept off easily enough. New Year’s Eve was fun. We got dressed up and drank champagne and played Rock Band, whose guitar broke after 4 days of ownership by Bill. He was not pleased. But it was fun anyway.
All told, things are looking up for this year. :)
