last night we went with shane/jen and nelson/lauren to an embassy new years party at a restaurant near our house. when i say "we" i really mean me as jennifer has come down with the runs (there are no secrets on this blog). also when i say "new years" please note that it is no where near new years and the kyrgyz don't celebrate some secret early new years... so i am not sure what is up with that. oh... and everyone was suppose to come dressed at their favorite fairy.
we showed up a little late. a combination of hoping that jennifer was feeling better and because i was having dress anxiety (ended up wearing dad's old leather jacket!).
lots of good food (whole chickens and mystery fish both still sorting the heads) and dancing. there was also a pretty amazing belly dancing who flew around the room gyrating and swinging a sword (the dream of every 13 year old boy and 39 year old man). there were also some really crazy fun cossack dancers with the fur hats and tall leather boots. pretty awesome.
i ended up leaving after an hour. i was worried about jen being sick plus olivia has a lingering cold and i wanted to get home to them. nina was at the house helping out (and making blini) but i still felt like i should be home. the whole "in sickness and in health" thing. the other reason i left was i had to run away from the vodka which was flowing freely. i have swore off the stuff ever since the marine ball incident!
i am glad i came home early and don't feel like i missed anything. i so love my girls.
