Our friend Matt came to visit the other day. He arrived really late (like, a little after 1 a.m.) on Thursday night and left around lunch time on Saturday. On Friday we hung out in the morning and grilled some brats. Saturday we went for our run -- and he did too. Matt's training for the Air Force marathon (which takes place the day before our race) and he's on a crazy training program. He ran 18 miles on Saturday.
Matt's a great guest to host. We loved having him around. I was especially interested in having him stay with us because I got to hear about what he's doing. He's an Air Force lawyer, and when he talks about his job he makes me think he's a character straight out of A Few Good Men.
Saturday night we went to watch fireworks. We met up with our friend Alisa and her husband, and another friend, Leah, was visiting from Chicago! We had a really great time with them... but the fireworks were kinda weird. After a while they just stopped (no obligatory "finale" at all). We weren't sure whether or not they were over. We waited a solid five minutes. Many of the people sitting around us had packed up and started to head out... but then the finale started. But then the finale stopped. It lasted 10 or 15 seconds. It was weird. We didn't know if it was over again. But we waited a good 10 minutes this time, and no more fireworks were seen. The show was a little disappointing, but the friendship was certainly worth the time spent.
