Speakeasy NYE!

Eric and I rang in 2010 1920's speakeasy style at his friends, Carrie and Chris' house! :) Excellent party with great friends and a fabulous theme! :)

Carrie, me, Alicia

Conversation:

Me: *glancing at this pic on my camera after I took it* "You should've been born in the '20s" *laughing*

Eric: Yeah, but then you'd be dating a 90 year old.

Me: *stopped laughing* haha...

Lauren came out to the partay, too for a bit! :)
Our hosts with the most, Carrie and Chris. They built their fabulous new house not too long ago and are getting hitched in October. :)
Most of the boys :)
Somewhere along the way, some of the girls opted to play "champong" (champagne beer pong). They quickly realized that was a very poor idea and opted for a quick game of champagne flip cup... haha.. How do you know you're not in college anymore? When you think playing the game you loved in college is a good idea, then play one round and are ready to go back inside. ;)

attempting to organize said game (In other words, lots of girly shouting and chaos. Personally, I like the guy on the end who obviously wasn't interested in organizing and opted to just indulge in his beverage)
Eric and his bevy of blondes...Okay, this is admittedly not my fav photo in the world, buuuuuut I was capturing Carrie & Chris' wedding announcement they gave us at the party... b/c it had both Eric and my names on it! ...annnnnd therefore am a complete and total cheeseball. What.ever.
They were "beating up the beat" (Jersey Shore). Side note: This wasn't the only time this occurred...
Everyone with their champagne just after the clock struck midnight!
First official photo of 2010!
Eric's friend and his fiance busting a move... ha!
"On a boat" came on...and this happened.

Happy New Year!!!!!!

Lauren was in town from Chicago, Ashley was in town from LA and thanks to Mother Nature, some plans got a little messed up, but glad I still got to hang with these lovely ladies-for a couple movies, some food, some fun...and not nearly enough photos. But, we went to Osaka (hibachi grill) on New Years Day and managed to take a couple pics! :)

No trip is complete without the pose.. Thank you self timer, perched on the paper towel dispenser b/c we thought the random green bathroom was a comical backdrop... haha..
Saturday, Timberly and I opted to hit up the TU basketball game against Colorado! Some nice guy gave me an extra ticket he had as we were walking to the ticket booth and Timberly got a student ticket with her ID (if I still had mine, I totally would have used it.. who knows where it is..*sigh), so watching TU win for FREE was even more fun! :)

Then Sat night, Eric and I headed to Juanita's, a little Mexican place in Jenks (listing the location for fellow Tulsans b/c um.. it's awesome). It's been there 25 years and we'd never heard of it. It's pretty spicey so bring your big girl pants, but it was pretty freaking good and we'll definitely be going back. Then, came back and rented a movie. :)

Holiday weekend= 5 stars. :) 2009 brought everything from a one year anniversary for Eric and me (yay!) to closer relationships with new friends and old. It brought adorable new babies to my group of great friends and some seriously fabulous memories. It also brought some challenges and a very tough economy, along with a monumental first for the Presidency of the country. I'm counting my blessings and cannot believe we're starting 2010! Cheers to all my blogfriends-let's make it a good one! :)
