So between getting back from the bowl game and New Years Eve, John and I were able to hang out with some friends some more. Mainly Brad, one of mine and Johns best friends and probably one of the people that I really miss the most. He is just such a fun person to be around and a really great friend. :D I also got to spend a little bit of 1:1 time with my mom and sister, which was nice. Like I mentioned in an earlier post, I didnt get to do much of that like I had originally planned when we got home because my grandparents were here. We got to talk a lot about how my mom dealt with Christmas since it was her first without my dad. We all cried a little, but overall it was a good conversation. I think we all need a way of making him here still, or at least celebrating his life. He will always be such a huge part of us that we cant just pretend he never existed. SO we decided to dedicate a day to him every year (pending on when John and I are home). I stole this idea from the TV show Weeds, but we are going to dedicated the whole day to him, getting all his favorite foods, candy, movies, etc. and just making it all about daddy :D I think that will be a great way to remember him and celebrate his life. YAY!
The next day John and I got lunch with Jennie B :D It was nice to catch up with her and it was really weird to see her so pregnant! I am so happy for her and I cannot wait to meet her little girl! After that we went and packed up all our stuff and loaded down our car. haha. then we headed to Chris Hutchersons to ring in the New Year!
We had a bunch of people come over the Hutch's place and we had a really good time. It was great to catch up with some of those people that we hadnt seen yet, like Kallie, Kim and Tyler. and then it was nice to see some of the people we had only gotten to see for a brief amount of time.
Some lovely ladies!
Miss Kallie! (no we didnt plan the same color shirt either. lol)
All day I had been really dreading the New Year coming and when it struck midnight I got my smooch, but then I got really upset about missing my dad. I was surprised to learn that I had such a harder time with New Years than Christmas. But I think it's because it's a new year without my dad and the last year he was alive is now gone. I know it's kind of silly, but I had a really hard time with it. Luckily, I have a really great husband that is always there for him if I ask him to be. I just need to remember to ask :D John and I got into a bit of an argument because I didnt ask and expected to know what I was thinking (silly girl). But I should really just always remember to ask him, because he has never let me down before. :D He really is an amazing husband :D I am so very blessed.
Anyway, we had a good time and wow I cant believe 2011 is here!!
