New Years Weekend

Warning: This is a long and pointless blog with no pictures. Sorry... :)

Well New Year's Eve is probably one of my most favorite holidays (sorry Jamie) but for a very different reason from the rest of you. I love it because it is basically a free day off. Yep, I love it for the vacay! We don't go out. At least, I don't...and because Josh didn't know he married a home-body until it was too late, he doesn't either. :) We opted for yummy sushi at the Sushi house. I wore my new purple sweater from my in-laws. I was actually pretty excited to be dressed up! (VERY RARE!) We followed dinner up with a game night at the Keeley's. I am thinking that we may have accidentally invited ourselves over. I did not mean to...really. But I am glad that we did. Jana's parents were in town and they had two other couples over (yep, definitely invited myself!) to play Balderdash and Wii. I learned two things that evening: 1) Josh and I are terrible at Balderdash and 2) this must be Dick Clark's last year, he looks bad!

New Year's Day Josh and I slept in until 10:30 am. AWESOME! Perfect beginning to the day! We had some non-homemade cinnamon rolls and watched football ALL day! Randy came over and had pizza that night and watched the Rose Bowl and then the Florida-Cincinnati game. Did not change out of jammies all day=perfect!

Saturday and Sunday were very similar. We were anxiously awaiting Angie and Bryan to return from their trip so we could drool over stories and pictures, which means we did nothing in the meantime. We did make it to Nebraska Furniture Mart in an attempt to buy a couch and living room tables. It was not fun. We couldn't find anything that we really liked AND that would fit in our extremely tiny living room. Boo! We followed up our unsuccessful trip to NFM to a fabulous trip to Cabella's! I LOVE Cabella's. Why? You may ask? I am not a hunter, fisher, or lover of camo...but I do really like the vastness of the store. It is really awesome! And, I go to buy some boots! Woot woot! I have been looking for some boots that are semi-high, waterproof, and not horribly ugly. This has been a feat for my feet! HA! I did finally manage to hunt some down and low and behold they are in the "Bargain Barn"! Even better! Soggy baseball season here I come! That evening I tried a new recipe. I will not post pictures or the recipe as it was TERRIBLE. I cannot believe either one of us ate it. I made it exactly like the recipe called for and it sucked. Really. Really. Bad. It was Steak Tips and Noodles. Blah!

And as a new tradition in our household - Dr. Mario on the Wii until 3 am! Just me and Josh. No one else. It was great. I love playing games and I love Dr. Mario. Nevertheless, we are basically a waste today! I did however, get to pick up my skiis from having my bindings mounted! Super pumped! Bring on the snow Breck cause we are on our way!
