Happy New Year!

So I couldn't put it on here earlier, but I got to surprise my sister for her wedding reception on New Year's Eve in Kansas City. It was so awesome! And she was truly surprised. If only I could have taken a picture of her when she saw me--priceless! Nonetheless, I do have other wonderful pictures from my time spent there. I arrived in KC on the 31st around 11 am and mom picked me up from the airport. We got to hang out with my sister and her family, opening more Christmas gifts, and then getting ready for the reception. It was a blast! Here are some pictures of the reception:

Then later we brought in the New Year playing Rock Band and Redneck Life--it was awesome!

My Redneck name: Fanny Louise, married to Corndog Bob.


The next morning we had breakfast at Bob Evans before some of the family headed home.

Later in the day I got to visit my college roommates. It was so great to see them again! We ate at 54th Street and spent lots of time chatting and catching up on the last 1 1/2 years.
I miss these girls!



Indeed, it was a wonderful New Year's! I got home on Saturday night and hubby greeted me with flowers--how sweet! I guess he's trying to win me over to never leave again... right?!? And now it's back to the grindstone, but not without setting some New Year's Goals. I have mine printed and hanging on my bedroom wall along with practical steps for following them. How about you?
