The Last Stardate 12/31/2005 (Goodbye 05-Hello 06)

This is the story of our last night in 2005. It runs backwards starting with midnight ending at the beginning.

What a night! The clock strikes midnight!!! AND-HAPPY NEW YEAR! WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

As the count down began everyone was excited to bring in the new year.

Oh No! The drunk girls followed us! They "want to go oooouuut tonight"!

We walked down to the bridge to watch the fireworks. There were other people there too (with booze). The Sound was full of boats that were covered with lights...And-The view of the city was spectacular. (At midnight there were fireworks going off all around us and the boats were all blowing their horns. It was sooo cool.)

My card says "I didn't touch it". As you can tell I am overjoyed to be playing such an "intellectually challenging" game. After a while it became clear that some of "us" were too drunk to play. So....Scott and I decided to take a walk.

So after a lot of drinks (for them not us) the girls decide that we need to play a game.

More drinks...And dancing...and singing...Oh, yes there was singing...Loud singing.

Art...Every good party produces some.

And now for a moment of serious reflection on the year past and the years yet to come. (Pretty)

Every party should have a possible Jones Soda label moment...Right?

Scott insists on taking this picture. We are pretty so I let him.

As I was saying....

Oh girls-Slow down the night is still young!

As soon as we got there Erin popped in the Rent cd. And we had a tour of the booze in the fridge from Amber. We are ready to party.

Scott and I are all prettied up and ready to go. This is going to be a great New Year's night! We are off to the city to party with the girls.

Special Edition- Scott's Thought of The Day (New Year's)

And now a word from the smartest boy on the planet:

The moment of the New Year is really, really cool when you think about it. It's like a giant wave, sweeping across the earth. No, not like an ocean wave... I mean a "wave," like we did at mom's graduation, when people stand up one-at-a-time, throw their arms up, and go "WWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Only on New Year's Eve, the wave goes all over the planet... if you could zoom in with a camera and pan over the planet in fast forward, you'd see everyone standing up to go "WWWWOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" with their arms held high, spread out by only an hour, which would seem like mere seconds in fast forward.

Anyway, when midnight hits tonight, go crazy! And think of the people that went crazy before you, and those who will go crazy soon after. Tonight, Rebecca, Erin and I will all go "WWWWOOOOOOOO!!!!" all at the same time... an hour later, Katie and 100 of her closest friends will all go "WWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!" And eventually, Grandma Billy in Hawaii will go "WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!" as well!

So, Happy New Year, everyone... "WWWWWOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!"

Stardate 12/29/2005 (Our adopted fuzzie)

We ordered pizza tonight (Scott insisted it's good luck....He's watching the Bowl Game...Ducks vs Sooners) and look what came with the food! This is the cat that lives nextdoor. She thinks that she belongs to us. Every night when I come home from work she's waiting by the front door. She invites herself in and takes a quick tour of the house. We think that she's going to be devestated when we have our own furry bundle of joy...but...for now I think that it's ok for her to pretend she's ours.

Merry X-mas!

We had a lot of Christmas fun. 

All of our stockings hung with care...and full to the brim!

So many gifts so little time-Well, actually it took us like twelve hours but we opened them all. 

Happy Christmas Gammie-face. 

Scott models his new fancy underwear from Gammie. (Matching hat included) 

The poodle could not handle all of the excitement. 

Posing for the family pic-Check out Erin's blog for the finished product.
