Our kind of sad looking Christmas tree...with a brown bear (Luis' ornament from my mom)
Luis opening his favorite present: An indoor basketball hoop with a backboard...he demanded that we stop opening presents, "this HAS to be set up right now". Guess standing in line during black Friday was worth it.
Since Luis and I are flying home for Christmas, we decided it would be easier to open most of our presents to each other rather than to take them on the plane both ways. So.....my favorite gift that Luis got for me was.................a GPS watch!! I have wanted one of these for many years now, ever since I started running in high school. And now my dreams have come true ;) I am so happy!!! It has some pretty neat features, like calories burned, distance ran (or biked, or hiked), heart rate, lap times, and a program on the computer that I can log all of my workouts onto. It even has a function where I can find my way back home if I get lost (who...me????). I can track my progress by comparing my past workouts to my current one, and race against myself...
I am signing up for a Spartan Race which is basically an 8 mile race with lots of obstacle courses that you have to get through in order to finish the race...I AM SO EXCITED!!! But I probably wont take my watch because I don't want it to get dirty. The only thing this watch needs is a camera so I can take pictures of all of the pretty things I get to see on my runs...Next Christmas I will wish for a running buddy (aka a puppy, since Luis wouldn't dare take me on!!). Excited to go visit home in just a few short days...to warmer (and probably wetter) weather... MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
