nye 2008 {turning 2009} we went to a masquerade themed party at jj's bohemia.
nye 2009, we went to our friends justin and arleen's house. there was a virginia tech vs. tennessee game on that night, so nobody wanted to go out {tech won, p.s.}
the four of us started to make plans to spend this new year's eve together, as well, but lindsy and rj ended up being in memphis, so austin and i went to our friend chris' apartment, where quite a few of our other friends were spending the evening, too.
austin didn't get off work on time, so by the time we ate dinner {and grabbed a veggie tray for the party} we were pretty late getting to chris'.
our friend hunter was in town for the weekend. it was great to see him, we haven't seen him since our wedding.
here's chris, hunter and austin {all giggling like little kids about who knows what...}
arleen and me. arleen is married to justin, who is one of austin's fraternity brothers, but i also cheered with arleen at utc.
and here's jenifer and me. jenifer is married to graf, another of austin's fraternity brothers.
so that was our new year's eve. not very eventful, but fun nonetheless. new year's day, austin, me and our friend ben made the trek up the mountain to steve and gloria's house for our usual new year's meal. this southern new year's menu included:
- black eyed peas, which i think is for good luck or maybe coins
- greens, which symbolize money
- pork, which apparently symbolizes progress {pigs root forward?} or to keep you grounded/humble {because pigs can't fly?}
- cornbread, which is just delicious
- mashed potatoes, also just plain good
the whole time they were playing, i was cuddling on the floor with ozzy, who wouldn't lay beside me, but had to smush me and lay on me...
pretty little juliet wants to wish you all a happy new year!
