New Year Dinner Party :o)

I really think this year is going to be completely different than any other. I will finally graduate college, start a new career, start looking for a house, get organized and out of debt. It's the beginning of the rest of my life. I'm excited about it and not one bit frightened of what's to come. I will be better this year. If you don't show improve every year what's the point, right?

I would list my resolutions but I have so many. Some of them are very personal but they include...

1. Do more charity work
2. Draw more
3. Take more pictures
4. Concentrate harder in my final classes
5. Don't hold back
6. Laugh more
7. Eat better
8. Love more
9. Live

Here are some pictures of New Years Eve at my house. This year I had zero desire to go out with a bunch of drunks. My love was in Miami and my friends were all going to bars. I had my little sister an cousin over for a big yummy dinner.

Me and my Nala cat

Michelle and Lindsey making the apple crisps

Me making the stuffed chicken. Yummy chicken stuffed with garlic, onions, basil, mushrooms, pepper jack cheese and ham. It's going to be a new recipe!

Michelle is excited!

We were so excited we forgot to take a picture before we ate. We also had cheesy garlic mashed potatoes, cornbread stuffing, and strawberries mixed with sugar and almonds.

We played Wii while we waited for the ball to drop. Michelle won in bowling but i was a not so close second, lol

Bein' silly!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Cute kitty.

I had a great time and I'm really glad I spent the night with my family. There's no way I could have survived a night out on the town. I was disappointed that I wasn't able to spend it with my sweetie, but he called me right before midnight to wish me a happy new year when the clock struck 12. I also called my mom right after midnight and my step-mom kept my father's tradition alive by calling me right after midnight as well.

I will make this a good year.
