Ringing in '09

Our last night of 2008!
We have had some good **signs** that 2009 will be better business wise....that is good news for everyone...even you folks out there reading this.
**wink**wink**

We had a nice home cooked meal then we put on our pretty clothes and headed down to the lake lodge for some new years festivities.

We are so cute together...
I can say this cause it is true!




Don't we look like gang-bangers?
Those signs I am throwing out mean: I'll have a glass of white please.....


We got to the lake lodge early enough for a nice table by the fireplace and still able to view the live band.

Coach has not been feeling well this week and he has a new addiction: HOT TEA!!!
yes, even on new years eve he is drinking some hot tea.
Have I mentioned how much I heart him???


Cheeers!!!!

This picture cracked me UP. Don coming in for a happy new year kiss... but what is Coach doing behind me????

The kids were wide awake when we got back home...we dressed them up for the new year!!!


Things have to be looking up...I got an email from my Mom this morning and my Cuz Chris is on his way home to Atlanta for his 2 week leave from Afghanistan!!!!

There may be a chance on us stopping by on our way home and giving him a big hero hug!!!!!

Happy New Year!!!!!

I hope everyone had a good night like we did!!!

  3. When I saw that picture of you I blew it up just so I could find the imaginary fat you are always talking about....it wasn't anywhere. Well, maybe it is in your imagination : ).

    You look adorable! Love the leggings and your pretty hair. You seriously look like one of your kids. Happy New year!

    "Gang Banging"?

  16. Gang bangers definitely has different meanings over here- not the innocent one you suggest. As they say- two nations divided by a common language!

  23. I love these photos! The one of you and your sweetheart is adorable! :-)

    And yes - I agree with Smiley - this is CLEARLY the "universal" sign for "more wine please"....

    And Coach's face when you were getting the platonic New Year's kiss was hilarious!

    Glad you're getting good signs about business looking up.

    I'm re-reading my "power-of-positive-thinking" type books! :-)

    2009 WILL BE SUBLIME!!!!
