Happy 2008

So we started out the New Years Eve by stopping by Chad and Monica Streets (friends of Mia's from high school). We go in thinking that we are just stopping in before their party and that we will only be a minute and try to steal a few minutes from them before their company comes over. Let's just say that we stayed longer then intended for all the right reasons. Chad and Monica purchased a fixer uper house about a year and a half ago, and Chad is completely blessed with the talent to do just that. Together the two of them have put together an amazing house and it was so great to be able to see all the things that they have added, changed, knocked out etc etc. While we were there Kevin and his new wife Sarah came over (Monica's brother and new sister in law) and so we spent a few moments with them as well. After a while a few of their guests arrived so we bid our adieu and headed out to the next New Years Eve party! (by the way stand by for pics of their place, it is gorgeous and if you are looking for any interior design stuff Chad is your guy!

So we arrive at our next party in Coppell Texas, and met all the people that were already there and we immediately fell into the crowd. Then we hear THE laughter. . . for all you people in Corpus you know who I am talking about :) Michelle. She finally made it over and once again we all fell into easy conversation catching up on each others life and drama :) We love getting together with old friends and catching up and we sure miss them when they are away!

This isn't my story so I won't say names or give too much away but at the new Years party we were at the hosts announced to the guests and their parents that they were having a baby. Wow you say...but here's how they did it. They gathered everyone and then gave the two sets of parents a small gift, as a token of grattitude for being in their lives(so they said) As the two sets of parents unwrap the gift it turns out to be a hershey's chocolate bar. But they had taken a Sharpie and blacked out all the letters so one bar said SHE and the other HE. The parents all look at each other and say "what's this?" The which they reply "We'll let you know in nine months!" Very cool and very exciting for them! We wish them the best(you know who you are).

So out comes the champagne for the ladies and cigars for the guys :) Everyone was passing out congrats and excitement just filled the air! So as midnight approaches our hostess tells the guys that they have five minutes left to finish up those cigars and then turns to the host to say " and you won't get a good kiss smelling like those :)" Oops, so out comes the gum and freshing up. I find my wif (and no that isn't a mispell) and count down the last 5 seconds and we wish each other a Happy New Years and end it with a kiss!

Here's us wishing you a Happy New Year and many blessings to you in 08.
