Ghosts of New Years Past: A Retrospective

New Years Eve 2001: I receive my first kiss on the mean streets of Vail, Colorado.

{Me and Petey NYE 2007…we have spent every New Years since we met together, all together now…Aww}

New Years Eve 2005: After pining away for Pete all semester he finally professes his love for me. Highly intoxicated I turn him down and proceed to turn the evening into a mess of catastrophic proportions. Hilarity ensues?

{Last years New Years, our “Dress as and BRING your favorite cocktail” party. I was Champagne and he was a New Orleans Gin Fizz}

New Years Eve 2009: Undaunted by my behavior over the past 4 years of our relationship (see above re: New Years 2005) Pete decides he wants to propose, and takes my bff Laura with him to pick out a ring that he will propose with weeks later. At midnight I proclaim that “2009 will be MY year…turns out I was right!

New Years Eve 2010: We are down in Florida with Petes brother and his fiancee Caitlyn’s family, and considering how much joy we all have to toast to in this past year, I see a saucy festive night ahead!

**Update**

I cannot fully divulge the details of our evening (somehow somewhere I am certain I still have a respectable reputation to uphold) but I will leave you with this hint. I think it really says something about our passion for festivity that we were able to turn a NYE in God’s Waiting Room into…well…a lot of fun.

I hope all of you have a blast ringing in the New Year and have resolved with yourself and your families whether it will be referred to as “Twenty Ten”

or

“Two Thousand and Ten”

Let the Debates and Champagne Begin!
