where's the soft served ice cream?

was what B and I asked the super UN-friendly man at the Grifs game. 

he sent us all the way down to the end of the hall in search and it happened to be about 10 steps in front of us.

That did not ruin our night

or the fact the Grifs lost

because we still got the ice cream

and had a blast on a date night with Peter and Betsy

thanks for the invite yo!

really fun night and so many different soups and delicious breads to try

Called- What is wrong with these photos?

ringing in the new year

2012

two days before the new year hit I wrapped out one more resolution/goal from 2012

Hit Dennys on Plainfield with B

nothing like cutting it close

and nothing like not needing to go back for about another 15 years

the company was GREAT.... the atmosphere now that is a different story

2013

was brought in with lots of fun with the Bultemas

First stop Roses for dinner

then downtown to the GRAM and Jesse McCartney concert and ball drop

 Yup Jesse...still love your music

Happy New Year to this lovey

2012 was by far the most memorable year yet

First engaged, planned a wedding, and married this wonderful man

moved out of my house and into our home ;-)

Completed Navy Pier, Riverbank run, and Dennys from last years resolutions

enjoyed lots of family time and fun included Florida, Dougies 60th Birthday, Traverse City Weekends, and still the wonderful 'family dinner' night

Lots of great memories with friends.  Thursday nights are still going strong

lots lots lots more to be Thankful for when I reflect over the year

looking forward to what 2013 has to bring

So I shall state my 2013 Goals [again only a few]

1. Bake stuffed Chicken breast [didn't complete last year]

2.  Spend a winter wonderland weekend in Traverse City

3. Somehow convince the lovely to go to Lady Gaga in February

4. Read more books

5. Focus more on the positive side of life/things

6.  Complete a race of some sort [always a must!]

Happy Happy New Year

Wishing everyone a blessed 2013
