So, NYE was held at our house this year. Normally our friends Marlana and Adrian hold the festivities at their house, but they are remodeling this year so we offered up our place. It actually worked out well since Marlana had to work at 5am on Jan 1st so they were able to leave early and go to bed. AAHH, I remember the days where we stayed up all night on NYE and then we all went into our Disney shifts at 4 or 5 in the morning with no sleep. We were much younger then. Now, we value our sleep! I'm starting to get that whole "older and wiser" saying! :)
I love this group so much, and I love bringing in the new year with them. I think this is our 5th year of getting together. This year Marlana just told us she was pregnant so we are all excited that next year we will have the first peanut of the group join us. This get together is also great because every year we all show up in our PJ's! No glitz and glamour for us, it's all about comfort!
We played some games, watched Travis Pastrana jump his car over the Long Beach harbor and watched Dick Clark's Rockin Eve to see the ball drop. It was a really good time!
2009 was a very interesting year. It was a year most people want to forget. 2009 though for Lance and I is and always will be the year we got married. We chose to leave 2009 keeping only the happiest of memories in our mental scrapbook. Our wedding and the birth of our niece Ella. We won't forget 2009 for all the happiness it has brought us, but we also won't forget 2009 for all the stress and hurt it brought to so many others. We've learned a lot from this year. We are grateful for this year. And we hope that the years ahead will only get better and better!
Love,
Suzanne
