New Years Eve, 2013

2 Corinthians 5:17, "Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come."

So, we live in Winslow and obviously, there are no clubs, bars, or trendy hangouts here, so what is there to do on New Years in these parts?  Well, we could have gone to Fayetteville to hit a few bars or have some dinner, but driving 30 minutes home after even just a couple of drinks on New Years Eve, well between the drunks on the roads, and the hyper-vigilant cops, it's just stupid.

We opted to stay in and make our own party!  That's right, we got all gussied-up and decided to have some fun at home!

Planning ahead, we had some assorted junk foods in the freezer; plus some chips and rotel, summer sausage, a variety of cheeses, along with some crackers, frozen egg rolls, a frozen pizza, and all the candy and sweets you could ever ask for, thanks to our fully loaded stockings for Christmas. 

We didn't actually eat very much of any of that. We had a 12 pack of Bud Light that started our evening off, and I don't know about you but after drinking beer, you don't really feel like eating or drinking much else.  So we nibbled on bad food, drank a few beers, and when that ran out, we moved on to a lovely box of wine (no really, it might sound cheap but Chillable Red by Franzia is pretty awesome!), and for entertainment, we decided to play board games! 

To be fair, I lost my mojo earlier in the evening and Damon kicked my ass a time or two at Chess, and a couple games of the old board game of Sorry, but I quickly got my mojo back and proceeded to kick his ass at a couple of the subsequent games of Sorry, but to round things out, I wore his ass out proper on the Lord of the Rings Monopoly!

 

After we wrapped up our games, it was perfect timing to watch the Times Square ball drop on T.V.  It dropped, we kissed, we toasted champagne, we made our resolutions for 2014, and got tired and went to bed!

Hey, at least we made it to the New Year before turning in!!

Here's to a blessed year for us all!

Happy New Year Everyone!!!
