This post is going up a touch late to be a true new years post, but it’s clearly as close as I am going to get.
Heather and I trekked out to McCook to celebrate the new year, and to catch up with my parents and brother, as this was my first Christmas away from my family.
We really enjoy McCook every time we get a chance to go there. I am sure a big part of it is just being away from the normal grind, plus being at mom and dad’s house, but it ends up being incredibly relaxing. The relax and unwind factor was there this trip, and we ended up with a bonus new years event!
McCook was hosting a special event for new years “First Night.” I won’t go into a ton of detail, but Heather and I had a lot of fun with everything that was going on there.
Due to the wedding, we didn’t really have much energy / time to observe the new year last time around. That was kind of sad because the new year marks a somewhat important date for us. We spent our first new year’s eve at the Gutschow farm, with Heather’s grandmother “Gigi”, and sometime on the drive home late that night decided to become “Facebook official” (Actually we just decided that we really were dating, and the most obvious step was to change our FB status)
The other fun thing about the night is that it’s one of the few that I can keep Heather up past 9:30pm. She did about fade away on me, and I have to admit it was a little cold outside, but Heather made it all the way to the end, greeting 2010 (just minutes after that picture was taken)
Hope the new one is as much fun as the last 🙂
