Happy 2013!

Allen and I celebrated our first New Years Eve together. The past two years he has continued a high school tradition of a 'boys only' NYE; however, being that the group of friends is now spred - some to other continents - the tradition ended. So by default, we got to spend the evening together! (I'm not complaining!)

I worked NYE but arrive home to a delicious dinner. Allen made Apple Chicken - one of his specialties. It includes chicken, applesauce, apple slices, and mushrooms. We paired it with some leftover collards from Christmas. Yum! We then venture out into the madness to retrieve champagne, juice, guacamole, and a movie. Over the next 4 hours we watched our electronic fireplace (a la macbook pro), ate the entire container of guac, watched the movie, laughed at Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper, and enjoyed a midnight toast. We could even see some fireworks from our front balcony.

A terrible quality picture of our spread... Fireplace on the left, chips and guac in the middle, movie on the TV

Orange, pineapple, apple juice mixed with Cooks champagne. Yum!

New Years kiss! 

2012 has brought many changes in both of our lives... undergraduate graduations, moving to Georgia,  several new jobs, and graduate studies to name a few. I'm not sure what 2013 has in store, but fingers crossed that it is full of love, happiness and laughter.

I hope that you all have a wonderful 2013 filled with everything you could ask for.
