New Year's Eve! Happy 2013!

New Year's Eve has ALWAYS been a favorite of mine. I can honestly say, that my New year's Eves have been pretty tame as well, but always a good time.

So back in the day, 2007 was the first year I got a New Year's Eve kiss. It had just never worked out before then. I'm ok with that. Now 2008 NYE was a year to remember. I got the cutest black dress from the Guess, cut out back and everything, and me and my 2 best friends went out on the town. Goodness did we have a good time being single, young, and hotchachacha! Good times.My 2009 NYE was pretty normal stuff. Spent the night at my cousin's house for her "family/friends" NYE party. Good dinner, good drinks, good fun.

That brings me to 2010's NYE. Brad and I had been seeing each other for about 3 weeks. We both came back early from family holiday vacations so that we could spend NYE together. That was my favorite "looking back at" NYE. I got all dolled up, he was looking quite handsome, and we had an amazing NYE kiss that lasted a little longer than a minute ;). Now that was a night i smile about still. He was a keeper. Our 2011 NYE, we were engaged and spent the night out in downtown Greenville with some friends.

This year for NYE, we were in Iowa. New place, new friends, new downtown. We had planned to go to Cedar Rapids for NYE and spend it with a few other couples that we are friends with. Well, alas, I got sick. I spent the WHOLE day in bed...asleep. Poor Brad had to watch the Iowa State bowl game at home, alone, and with the TV turned down low. My sweet husband. By 6:00 pm I was feeling a little better, but we weren't going to make it to Cedar Rapids. So, I put my big girl panties on, showered, got dolled up, and we headed out for downtown CF. We were able to get a great table at Tony's. We ordered some light pizza, a few beers, and watched Clemson beat LSU in the Chick-fil-A bowl game. Holla!!

By the time the game was over, I wasn't feeling great and we considered going home on more than one occasion. Seeing as how we were already out, I held it together, we stayed out until 12:01, and actually made some new friends that ended up joining us at our table for the night. We must look really friendly. This has happened to us more than a few times! Overall, even though our plans changed, due to illness, we had a good time and celebrated our first MARRIED New Year's Eve together. Another night to remember.

Side note: My husband is a hottie. Look at the scruff! Rugged.

Happy New Year! Hopefully, this will be the best one yet!
