January 22~A perfect day

This morning, like every other Sunday of my life, I went to church except today was a special day at our church: it was our church's annual meeting which is actually a lot better than it sounds. Not only was it the first time I had attended it as an official member but it was followed by the most delicious potluck lunch ever complete with corn chowder, chili, homemade rolls & cornbread, salad, some strawberries, and too many deserts. At the meeting, I was reminded of the Roberts Rules that I learned while at Girls State last summer. I was delighted that I knew exactly what was going on and was able to participate correctly due to my Girls State Education. (Thanks GS!) After that, I went on a 9 mile run with a good friend of mine. It was such a beautiful day with the sun beaming down through the trees making the snow sparkle. We ran up "Gloucester Hill" which has a beautiful view of the surrounding area from the trees to the snow covered fields to the distant mountains. I do not have any pictures and even if I did I know that nothing could give justice to the view which I have spent my life memorizing. After we ran for the 9 miles our coach recommended we run over the weekend, I was lucky enough to be invited to watch the game (AFC championship game) with my elderly neighbors. Until this year I have not been very much into football mostly because I do not have a television at my house so it is impossible to watch but recently I have been spending my time with football fanatics. These football fanatics happen to be my best friends and running buddies so their love for the sport somehow wore off on me and I am also enthralled with it. I was at the edge of my seat and was so relieved when the Ravens missed their penalty kick thus allowing the Patriots to win!! :D
