New Year's Eve- In Pictures

We spent our New Year's Eve with our closest friends. We started off at their house for a yummy dinner than off to local resort. I wish I had felt better. Most of these pictures I feel like Droopy Dog. I just can't seem to kick this strep throat and this sorta cold. My eyes were so heavy and at a few times that night I wished we were home and I was in my jammies. I had a few dirty martinis to help me through. We left before midnight and watched the ball drop from the comfort of our living room and I finally got into my pjs!!! BTW did anyone catch Anderson and Kathy Griffin? I love him and love that awkward laugh of his when she does something inappropriate!

How what your NYE? Did you do anything exciting or did you crave your jammies like I did?

Favorite New Years eve you’ve had before:
Hmm I've had 2 really great NYE. 
 I made the decision on NYE to change my life. I left a boyfriend who had been caught cheating on me. We had been dating for 6 years and it was heartbreaking. He was the man I thought I would marry although I knew it was never going to work. 

As you can see I was still smoking and living it up. 

This was karaoke with friends!!! 

Last year was pretty great too. Brian, myself and our best friends spent the night at Crystal Springs Resort. Our friend bar tends there and at the time our friends lived right down the road. We had a blast! 

Are you doing anything for NYE this year and if so what?

I would really hope to get rid of this nasty strep virus and spend NYE at Crystal Springs again with our friend's Mike and Jaclyn. Jaclyn is knocked up so we already have our DD!!! 

Isn't it beautiful?

Name a book we should all read come January?

I'm not really a reader and I hate that about myself. I mean I attacked 50 Shades series but that was like girl porn! A few friends have suggested Perks of Being a Wallflower. Any suggestions????

What are your new years resolutions?

1. I've started taking really good care of myself in September. I started taking Zumba and going to Weight Watchers. I've lost 11 pounds. Its coming off slowly but I'm starting the year smaller than I started off 2012. I hope to continue treating myself kindly both physically and mentally! 

2. I've let people walk all over me for way to long, family included and this year I will not stand for it! People have drawn the line in the sand so to say and I've decided if they don't want me a part of their life I don't want to be a part of it. Sometimes family isn't just blood its the people who are there for you when you need it most. My friends have been that for me more than some family members. If they aren't going to try neither am I. 

Welcome 2012 In Style

We welcomed 2012 in with love, friends, plenty of laughter and unlucky for me a terrible sore throat! We started out our night at my best friend's place for sushi. Everyone thought it was so delicious and I couldn't taste a thing. My throat only got worse as the night progressed. I had droopy eyes the entire night. I was far from drunk but it looks like I was trashed. After sushi headed to Crystal Springs Resort for some music and drinks.

Our bartender, best friend's little sister. 

She made us blood orange martinis topped with pomegranates. 

It was a nice temporary fix for the sore throat from hell. 

Photo bomb! 

His sexy face.

Fresh flower centerpieces made the tavern smell amazing. 

Gingerbread houses lined the resort.

Champagne and Rocking New Year's Eve.

I spent today on the couch. My sore throat has progressed into a terrible ear ache and headache. 

Not the way I would have liked to start the year off but I can't wait for this year!

I'M GETTING MARRIED THIS YEAR!!!

New Years Fill Ins

I'm still trying to come to grips with the fact that Christmas was just about a week ago. I feel like I have been holding off on posting about Christmas to drag it out a bit longer. Each night I'm still watching ABC Family Christmas movies. I can't seem to get enough.

1. New Years is a great time for reflection on the past and having high expectations for the future.


2. One of my New Year's resolutions will be to drop a few more pounds before this wedding!



3. A New Year's resolution I've made in the past was to stop smoking! I haven't had one in over 3 years!



4. The most time consuming resolution I ever made was to budget and save money to purchase a home.



5. This year I will be spending New Year's Eve with my fiance, best friend and her husband. We are starting the night off getting dressed up and heading to a local resort bar where our friend works. We will probably ring in the new year at her house.

6. If I could wish one thing for my new year it would be to ENJOY our wedding. No stress,

7. 2012 is going to be filled with a wedding and our life as husband and wife! Can't wait. Less then 4 months to go!!!



Hope you have a great New Years!
Please be safe and smart!
