Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

New Years Eve was interesting,and of course fun. I went to a get together at Carly's. Ryan and I took the light rail. How were we to know there was a water main break at DU? It was completely flooded. Even the road was closed. So James had a difficult time picking us up. We finally made it to Carly's apartment. We played drinking games, and just all hung out. Ryan was trashed so the light rail home was interesting. Once we made it back downtown it seemed like the whole town was drunk. I was too sober to be dealing with that, and I wasn't sober. I felt old. I often say I feel old, but rarely do I really believe it. Last night I did, but strangely it was in a good way. I'm glad I'm 25 and my life is where it is.

Last night was better than a lot of my past New Years Eves. Not so much for what we did, but because I was with people I like, and I'm more me than I have ever been. No other way to explain it.

I'm not going to say 2012 is going to be great, because I don't know that and I don't want to set it up for failure. So, 2012 I'm looking forward to see how you end up. One year can change everything.

Cheers to 2011!

It's a new year which brings new beginnings :)

Denver finally got snow...gross. I honestly had not driven in snow in over a year. I realized I don't miss it. And I mean really--did it have to storm right before New Years Eve???? LAME.

It was still a good NYE though. Doug and I went to The Hard Rock Cafe then watched the 9pm fireworks show downtown. It was FREEZING! Still really cool that I can walk a block and be in the middle of the whole celebration. Once the fireworks were done I went with Doug to his friends house in Broomfield. It was his church group--which included his cousins and brother. We played telephone pictionary. It's a super fun game so you have to try it sometime. If you want to know how just ask :) Then we hang downstairs where everyone was playing Dance Dance or something on Wii. I didn't participate but I watched, and it was hilarious! Before we knew it, it was 2011. We left soon after and hung out here...which was fun until the fire alarm started ringing, and didn't stop for an hour. The fire department came and knocked on all the doors asking people if they had been cooking. It would be funny if it wasn't so annoying.

Today I spent New Years Day with my family. We hung at Michelle's and ate chili and watched football. How American of us.
