I'm not usually a huge NYE person but this New Years was a blast! My best friend of almost 20 years, Sarah, came down for the weekend and we really enjoyed ourselves. Saturday night Miguel, Sarah, Jason and I went to dinner at Alligator Soul. I seriously l.o.v.e eating out at fun restaurants! We took our time and relaxed and enjoyed each others company.

After dinner we headed over to Jason's house to help him get stuff ready to have a couple of people over. He just moved in to his house and I was so impressed how clean and put away everything was!

One of my favorite things about Jason's new house is the awesome and ancient microwave and the itsy bitsy oven! Sarah became very attached to this microwave... sadly it is going to be replaced =(

One of the fun things about NYE for me is that it is an excuse to dress up. On that note I just have to post a picture of Sarah's hair. It was a braided, soft, romantic look and I just loved it!
Hanging out at Jason's was really fun. I especially hate crowds and am not a huge party person so this was a great way for me to spend the evening. By the end of the night both Sarah and I had kicked off our heals and put on comfy socks.

Though the night was really fun something scary happened just before midnight... Miguel broke out in hives everywhere! He swelled up and got very red. Everyone remained calm - besides me... I don't like seeing the people I love look sick - but Miguel slapped some cortisone cream on and the party went on.

We watched the NYE Times Square countdown a few minutes before midnight, toasted and had our New Years kisses and some of us took out Jason's pots and pans, went out on the porched and banged them =) Apparently, that is a yankee thing? It was fun and made me smile! Ringing in the New Year needs some noise and racket!
We had a really fun NYE and I'm so glad I got to spend it with Sarah but after all the celebrating and late nights all I wanted to do was go home and crash like Brandon did...
Happy 2012 everyone!
