We Partied Like It Was 2010 (or something like that)

So I would love to update ya’ll on our New Year’s Eve shindig and show you pictures and all that jazz but I only took like 3 pictures the entire evening. I don’t know what I was thinking! We had friends over which included 5 little boys (and 3 dogs) all under the age of 6 so things were a bit rowdy for a while! Our house has never seen so many little kiddos and didn’t know what hit it! We had to baby proof our place and fast!

We had food galore and kegerator beer along with some mixed cocktails. The evening started early with the ISU/MN bowl game starting at 5:00. ISU managed to pull out a win (1 point is all that is needed and won me the bet w/ my boss so I scored a 6-pack of beer!) and we celebrated their victory and the new decade. So we partied from 5:00-2:30am! We may be 30 now but we can still hang! (Although the hangovers are worse… Sorry Brad!)

(One of the few pictures I took. Brad, passed out w/ his tongue out. Priceless.)

Other than that the rest of our long weekend was relaxing and uneventful. We rented movies, (District 9 was dumb, Terminator Salvation was decent and GI Joe was meh) went out to dinner, and I was a lazy bum with Kobe and he loved it! Cuddle time!

How was all of your New Year’s Celebrations? Is it as cold where you are as it is here? The high today was 1. And it isn't supposed to get above the teens for the next week! WTF? I can't handle this shit. I need to move south.

2009 In Review

I can’t believe it’s the end of a decade. It kind of starts to make me feel old… Hmmm… Regardless, 2009 was a great year for us. Here is to hoping that 2010 is even better and is wonderful for all of you as well!

Here is a look back at what we did this past year:

January - A pretty quiet start to the year 2009. We made a trip down to Des Moines for Wade to be in an indoor race. He's his own biggest fan. J/k :)

February - We made our annual trip up north to Bessemer, MI for a weekend of drinking, drinking and more drinking. Some people actually get out and hit the slopes but not me. :)

March - Made another trip down to Des Moines for Alicia's birthday party and also had family up to visit us in MN. The weekends were all full!

April - We got our kitchen repainted! It looks so much better although we still need new cabinets. (That will be a 2010 project!) And our yard put together with a new fence and garden! Success!

May - What a busy month! I participated in the Des Moines MS Walk, saw Foreigner in concert, went to IL for a race and turned 30 years old! Holy moly!

June - Wade participated in the MS150 bike ride (I was the chauffeur) and Wade left for France which left me behind for 2 weeks and just dying to get there to meet him!

July - Another BUSY month! I left to meet Wade in Europe for a 10 day trip that included Paris, Amsterdam, Bruge and Bacharach. Time of our lives. We also traveled to Chicago to see our great friends, Bill & Bartels, and Wade turned 30! How we squeezed that all into 31 days I have no clue!

August - STURGIS baby! I love that town. Nuf said! We also made a trip to Galesburg and made it out onto the lake.

September - I took a trip to Chicago for girl's weekend getaway and had a blast! And we made another trip to Des Moines for the Iowa/Iowa State game.

October - We took a trip to Dallas, WI for Oktoberfest, had a neighbor outing in Minneapolis (and took the bus!), made it down to Des Moines for the ISU Homecoming game and partied like rockstars for Halloween. I also busted the shit out of my knee. It felt good. Not! :)

November - Wade and I celebrated 3 years of marital bliss, our good friends the Schuman's finally visited us and we traveled all over for Thanksgiving feasts!

December - We went to an ugly sweater party, I saw Paps for the first time in years and we traveled like rockstars for Christmas vacation.

Looking back at the year I realize we have been busy little beavers! I'm looking forward to January which is usually a quiet month! :)

Coming up tonight, we are having a little get together to ring in the new year. Cheers to you and all of yours for a happy, healthy, prosperous and fun 2010!

Wordless Wednesday

I'm sick of all this snow. It is snowing again (on top of our 15+ inches we already have on the ground). I miss warm weather...

Bird Shit & Weekly Want-it's!

A little late is better than never right? Wade and I got home Sunday night, unloaded the van and started putting all of our Christmas presents away and unpacking when I notice what appears to be bird shit on our kitchen knife set.

I thought that was very weird so I started scouring the entire house and what do I find? Little mini bird shits all over the place. On our kitchen floor and bar, on our family room rug, on the office carpet, upstairs on the railing and curtains… But after Wade searched the house high and low, no bird was found. So I can only guess that the little birdie somehow found its way into our house through the crawl space, had itself one hell of a good time shitting all over everything and then somehow found it’s way back out. Unless it is dead somewhere in our house (please pray that I do not find a dead bird somewhere b/c I will freak the fuck out).

Anyway, so this post is late b/c I did not have any time to get it put together Sunday night and I had ladies night last night so of course I wasn’t going to get to it then. Sorry. I hope you all had a great Christmas vacation. I know we did. But I am exhausted from all the driving!

Now, onto my weekly want-it’s!
