It’s the first post of the new year! I cannot believe it’s 2012–I swear last year moved at warp speed, but I can’t help get excited at so many things coming up in twenty twelve.
We had the most fantastic 3-day weekend and it was a blessing to be at home celebrating the new year. Friday night, we went to Zanie’s to see John Caparulo’s comedy show. I had never been before, but we had so much fun…an adult evening for sure and he was hilarious, just like when he’s on Chelsea Lately.
Saturday, we had my parents and Jeff’s cousin Eddie over–we grilled for lunch and enjoyed the gorgeous 60 degree weather and ate ourselves into a coma before doing it all over again for dinner that night. Jeff wanted to try something new so he made BBQ which was great…I feel lucky I have a guy who can cook so well {when he wants to!}. We played games and watched the ball drop and talked all about our new year’s resolutions, and I successfully made it until 1:45AM so I felt like a sober rockstar.
Sunday morning, I got up to make monkey bread and a sausage and egg casserole for brunch. Then we said our goodbyes and hubby and I worked to get our Christmas decorations down. That night, we met up with Lauren and Andy for dinner and to see The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, which was one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time. The story followed the book really closely and I cannot wait to dive into the 2nd installment of the trilogy.
For my last day off, I went to the gym to get my first 2012 workout in and then did some shopping for the nursery…I PROMISE a progress post is coming this week! We spent the night watching mindless television and catching up on RHOBH and my other junk shows including The Bachelor–I gave it an entire hour before saying hasta la vista to Ben…I just can’t handle him.
Happy New Year friends–may this be your best year yet!! OXOX

Looks like a fun new years eve!! For the first time in several seasons, I didn't even watch the Bachelor last night…couldn't handle it!
Looks like a wonderful New Years Eve! Next year I have decided I want a more low key new years!
Sounds wonderful!! I was asleep way before midnight lol. The food looks yummy, can't wait to see your nursery update.
Sound like a great weekend! Can't wait to see nursery pics!
can't wait to see nursery pics! Do you have your diaper bag yet? I am obsessed with diaper bags- I love seeing what everyone else picks out!
Yea, I'm not a huge fan of Ben either….I watched the full episode and it seems like this season is just gonna be really dumb. Lots of drama…etc.
Looks like a great way to ring in the new year. I of course am hooked on this season of the bachelor. I can't help myself..I just love seeing who ends up in the end.
Sounds like a great NYE! We saw The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo and I thought it was amazing too! I did not want to see it, but Fred wanted to and I'm so glad we did. Happy 2012!
I'm feeling the same way about Ben, definitely not the guy I would have picked!
1:45? I'm impressed! I was OUT at 12:15…
You, my dear, make me miss being pregnant! You look incredible!
Oh, and those mindless tv shows will be your best friends when that sweet girl gets here! It'll be bliss during those late night feedings. đ
And go enter my giveaway! Nobody has entered yet and it would be a good for you!
Ugh I already know I'm not going to like this season and I didn't even watch last night!
Looks like y'all had a fun night! And that food looks terrific! Happy new year to you and yours
