I think one of the coolest parts about America is our obsession with bright lights and loud noises.  Last night for New Years we visited some of Lauren's family and set off fireworks.  It was really cool because we are not aloud to do that in DFW.  The show we put on lasted over thirty minutes.  Highlights would have to come from the time when the box flipped over after lighting the fuse and shot at all of us.  I have never seen people run so fast in my life.  The night was good and long.  It was nice to spend New Years with friends.  We woke up early this morning for mass which was the perfect way to start off the new year.  After that we dropped off our friend at the airport and headed back to nap the best nap ever.  I don't think I have ever slept so well in my life.  Now it is dinner time and I am ready to eat.  With this being the case I leave you now. :) Have a great new year!

God Bless
