Happy New Year

2009...WOW! Remember when the world was freaking out because the new millenium was approaching? There was the Y2K bug, you had to get money out of the ATM, have food, water, gas. Crazy! Now here it is 9 YEARS later!
Gabe and I stayed in last night. The kids were in bed by 9, so we had some bonding time on the couch (exciting, I know). I don't know who all knows this story, but Gabe really wanted a laptop...badly. He has been wanting one for about 2-3 months. I was planning on getting him one for Christmas, so I needed him to hold out a little longer. Then the time came to buy it for Christmas, and I wasn't sure if I should get it. Well, I did (and now I am the best wife ever). We have been on the internet together now (on the couch), listening to music, playing games, etc. So Gabe turns to me the other night and says, "See...the laptop is already bringing us closer." Funny man! So that is what we did last night... we played this damn game until almost 2am! We couldn't walk away... it was crazy. Finally, Sophie woke up with a little fever and I HAD to walk away. Poor thing, I guess she was uncomfortable and couldn't go back to sleep- until of course I put her in bed with me.
And that's what our New Year's consisted of. We did have a lot of fireworks going on in the neighborhood. That was cool to watch.

HAPPY 2009! HOPE EVERYONE HAS A GREAT NEW YEAR! :)
