Happy New Year 2009!
Wow, I am still amazed that it is now 2009! Woo hoo! My first post for the new year– very exciting! 🙂 Last year I rang in the new year with Kristin in Hawaii at the Aloha Tower. That was absolutely amazing! The firework display was out of this world, and it was a blast to be with Kristin and her friends. We celebrated the New Year at the Freberg family home by watching Stargate (we love that show!) and went to bed on the early side. 🙂
It’s been nice the past couple of years being able to actually celebrate New Year’s Day. When I was going to school in Florida, I would always be flying back to Gainesville on Jan 1 because we had to be back for track practice a few days before school started. Now, I am able to enjoy the festivities and wonderful New Year Day’s activities. 🙂 This morning, we all got up to watch the Rose Parade. The floats are just amazing and so pretty! And of COURSE we had to watch the Rose Bowl since USC is playing Penn State– that’s a given! 🙂 Fight on Trojans!
Of course, to celebrate New Year’s completely, you have got to have amazing food! We had Mom’s ABC (Amarula, Blueberry, and Cinnamon) rolls for breakfast, and Dad’s chimichanga’s for lunch. Is that over the top? Hey, there is only one way to ring in the good year, and that is with fabulous food and amazing company! 😀 The USC-Penn State football game was at times pretty intense, but the Trojans came away with a huge win and their third Rose Bowl win as well! Congrats to the USC Trojans and Fight on!
In a few days, I will be watching the Florida-Oklahoma game. Go Gators! 🙂 I wish you all a Happy New Year– may all of your dreams and goals come true! Have a wonderful day!
Best Wishes,
Karen
