Cubs game vs LA Dodgers

Jason and I went to Wrigley field and watched the Cubs win in extra innings. Even though it was the end of May it was 35 degrees at the end of the game! It was a very cool stadium, a guy even changes the score by hand!

White Sox vs Indians

Jason and I went to Cellular field to see the White Sox vs the Indians. Unfortunately the Indians lost but we had great seats!! Jason's boss is co-owner of the White Sox so we had really close seats!!!

My newest niece Landry

Landry Kate Franklin was born on April 27, 2008. She is one cute little girl!! Jason already bought Landry a fishing pole!!

Visiting my nephew Leo in Olympia, WA

I flew to Olympia in April to visit my brother, Alicia and Leo. We had a fun weekend and I especially had fun reading and playing with Leo!! He loves to laugh and smile constantly!

St Patrick's Day - Chicago 2008

Two of our friends, Mary and Scott, came to Chicago for St Patty's day weekend!! We had a great time hanging out with them! We went downtown and saw the Green River (The river is always green but it was greener :) ) and had some pizza. On St Patty's day, Jason and Scott found some great souvenirs :)

San Juan - Puerto Rico Jan 2008

My company holiday trip this year was to San Juan, Puerto Rico!! It was awesome to leave freezing cold Chicago to go to 80 degree weather. We had a great time hanging out with friends, going to the rain forest and just laying on the beach!

New Years Eve 2007

Jason and I were in Chicago for New Years Eve. We decided to not go downtown with all the crazies and just went to dinner and had some drinks while playing board games at the apartment!! I know we are dorks :)

Christmas 2007 - Jason's family

We then went to Canton to celebrate Christmas with Jason's family. Christmas is always busy but always great to see everyone!!

Christmas 2007 - Megan's family

We celebrated Christmas a few days early with my family. We had fun at both my mom and my dad's house and got lots of gifts.

Thanksgiving - Chicago 2007

This Thanksgiving we stayed in Chicago and Kara came to visit. Jason made the entire dinner except I made the pumpkin pie. Kara made nothing :) So after our run, Jason fixed lunch and Kara jumped on the Metra to go see her boyfriend, Mike.

Turkey Trot

Jason and I braved the COLD Chicago weather on Thanksgiving and got out of bed and ran. It was quite windy and snowy but we both made it! Jason did the 2 mile run and I did the 5 mile. I got second in my age group and ran it in 38:45!! (Less than 8 minute miles). I was pretty happy since I didn't realize I could run so fast in the winter weather!

Fourth of July run

Jason and I headed home to New Philadelphia to visit my grandpa and family. Jason and I also ran a 5k while we were home. The First Town Days Run. I ended up getting second in my age group!! Look at my pretty medal :)
My grandpa was one of my biggest fans but never understood why I liked to run. He thought it was silly to run :) I love you and miss you Grandpa.

2 year anniversary

Jason and I went away for our two year anniversary. Went to a town called Galena. Did some shopping, walking around and my favorite part was going to a winery! We did some wine tasting and then got some glasses of wine to enjoy outside. We had a nice dinner at Fried Green Tomatoes and Jason even karoked that night!

Brian and Stacy's wedding

Brian and Stacy got married on September 29th. Jason flew into Columbus for Brian and Stacy's wedding. We had a great time catching up with old friends and dancing away (Jason had more fun since he had random girl dance partners). The picture below I don't know who the girls are...
All in all it was a fun night!!
