Happy New Year!!

Happy New Year!! We had some couples from our small group at church over for a little New Year's celebration. We had a blast with these great friends!! A few snapshots getting geared up for midnight. I actually stayed up past midnight--I know it's a shocker for those of you that know me well. This girl is usually in bed by 9:00. I thought I would do something wild and crazy for New Years and stay up late--woohoo what a party girl I am!
Me, Rachel, Amanda, Hope, Whitney, Alissa. I love love love these girls!!! They mean the world to me (and others that couldn't be there). We are so blessed to be a part of this small group!!

And we made the guys pose for a shot. These guys are hilarious when they get together. They keep us laughing!



And baby Ian.. isn't he too cute?!



And we ended the festivities with some fireworks. I am sure we will definitely get "Neighbors of the Month" since we were very loud last night. I am kind of scared to go outside today and see if we have some nasty notes on our mailbox. We shot some pretty loud fireworks (thanks to Jonathan and Rachel) and really enjoyed blowing our horns (thanks to Whitney).
So we say adios to 2009 and bring on 2010!! This year has been great... lots happening.. going to the Sugar Bowl to watch bama play, starting our Educational Specialist degree, selling our house and buying a new one, joining a new church, went to the circus, dressed like a worm, going to our first ever rodeo, Matt joining the varsity football staff, said goodbye to great friends,a visit to the ER, lots of lake trips, trip to the beach, celebrated 5 blessed years of marriage, lots and lots of football games, our first ever turkey cooking, a state championship win, a blessed Christmas with family, and lots of fun times with friends!! Hope you have a Happy New Year!!
