A new year

The new year is finally here!! It's hard to believe it, but it is 2008. I really feel that this is going to be a great year!
We had a great 4 day weekend and a wonderful New Years!
Saturday we went with Lacee and Hunter to tube the Autobann at HooDoo. The drive itself was an adventure! We hit snow on the road right past Foster Lake and we're driving on snow from there all the way to HooDoo. It was so beautiful! It was at least 6 feet high on the sides on the road, and packed onto the road so we had to put our chains on!
When we got to HooDoo we tubed for an hour or 2 and then headed to the lodge to warm up with hot food and cocoa! We headed home before it got dark. It was a fun day and good time spent with my cousin and Hunter before they headed back to Cali the next morning! We are planning on heading to Cali to visit them in August!
Sunday we did our normal chores and things and watched some movies. It was a good relaxing day. Monday we headed over to Air's in the early afternoon to help her get ready for the party. At 6 we headed to her co-workers house for "pre-drinks" and at about 7 we took a cab to the new restaurant/bar 101 in Corvallis. It was a very nice place! Ritzy! I want to try it for dinner sometime soon. We had a tangerine drop martini and some appetizers and hung out until about 9 when we headed down the street to the Peacock. They had a live band so we drank some beer and danced to the live music. They handed out party hats and horns which were fun to wear and make noise with! A bunch of drunk people with those party horns sure does make a bar more lively!!
Air and I called a cab at about 10 so we could go back to the house and drink with Trav and K. We got back at 10:30 and made some yummy drinks and played a drinking game. By 11:30 the house was full of people! Everyone we had gone to the bar with came over, as well as a few other friends! We all watched the ball drop and toasted with champagne! At 1 we headed to El Prez to do a little karaoke. We got back to the house at 2 and called it a night!
New Years Day we slept in and had a very lazy day. We went to my mom and dads for dinner at 5 and got home at 9 in time to watch a little tv and go to bed!
Now it is another normal week! At least this one is short, because after this holiday I don't think I have anymore time off until our vacation in March! That will be a much needed break! We are very excited to go!!
Thats all for now! It's almost noon on Thursday, so only a day and 1/2 until the weekend!! We have lots of errands to run and little maintenance projects around the house to do this weekend. It will be good to get it all taken care of! Have a good rest of the week and a wonderful weekend!
