2010 was Wonderful....can't wait for what 2011 holds!

Last night to celebrate the end of one year and the beginning of another, I went to my friend Tiffani's house (funny side note story...Kevin asked us what we were doing and I said 'We're going to Tiffani's' and he got really confused and I was like, 'yeah we are driving up to Michigan to see Tiffany!' too bad that couldn't have been true...miss you Sullivans!)

Any way, I brought Tom and Anna with me and we played Quelf and also the three round game that you pick papers with random things written on them and have to describe, act out, and say one word describing them, it has no name except the unfortunate 'threesome' so I decided to call it, wait for it....Random Draw! Let me know what you think of the new name! It's interesting to play those games with different mixes of people. We had baked spaghetti for dinner and this delicious and inappropriately named cake for dessert. Then after the ball dropped and we said our happy new year's, we watched Knight and Day with Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz. It was pretty terrible but I am glad I got to spend my evening, night, and early morning with friends. We left at like 215am and because the cops were out all over the place, I couldn't speed (slash) 'break the law' so we didn't make it home until 3am.

Good times.

Reflecting back on 2010, I am really thankful for how great my life is and wonderful my friends and family are. So I created a:
