New Year's Eve

"I . . .  can't . .  get enough . . . I can't get enough" 

Somewhat ghetto dropping of the ball.

Notice the bow tie Nick is sporting. So swank.

New Year's eve was a blast. We played games with some friends- Catch Phrase (one of my favorites) and Hilarium, which is an appropriate name for this game. Hilarium is like charades and a memory game, except everyone acts out their clue at the same time. (I had to burp proudly.)

Then we went to a party at the Provo Town Centre. They had a comedy show, live music, a big band dance area, karaoke, pop dance area, juggling, jousting and so much more. Nick and I engaged in both of the dance rooms for most of the time and boogied our little butts off. (Not literally, of course.) We also jousted (I managed to do this pretty modestly even in a fancy New Year's eve party dress) and unlike some of the other opponents, we did not slap each other in the face with our sticks or jab each others stomachs. (I ended up jumping off my post and launching myself onto Nick. I knew I probably wouldn't win so I decided to take him down with me. :) It was pretty much the best New Yea's eve ever. Provo even managed a little ball drop of their own along with fireworks and a midnight kiss, but only for Nick.

Today we got to start a tradition for our new family- homemade pizza and punch on New Year's day. Nom nom nom! And the punch is super easy. 1/2 a can of raspberry (or in this case apple raspberry) concentrate, a liter of ginger ale, 3 scoops of raspberry sorbet, pebble ice and some raspberries,  frozen or fresh equals perfection.

If I had a million dollars

Have you ever played twenty questions?

I have my own version of this game. The purpose is to get to know other people through strange and what may seem like awkwardly personal questions if you weren't playing a game. Sounding fun yet?

Nick and I played this while snuggling on our couch for a family home evening activity. And boy was it fun. In case you were wondering, Nick would rather freeze to death than be burned alive.

And if i had a million dollars. . .

I would actually get another degree, in graphic design or photography or both. This may seem like a lame answer, especially since I am a senior this year and not overly inclined to stay in school forever. But it's the truth. We also decided we would keep living the way we do right now, in our basement apartment and not become extravagant with our winnings, but we might both cut back on hours at our jobs so we could concentrate fully on school.

What would you do if you had a million dollars? And this isn't a contest to see who can blow it away the fastest or do the nicest thing with it. This isn't a contest at all. But if you had an extra mil to spare how would you use it? And if you do have an extra million to spare, please, contact me. I just want some more book-learning. :)

*Also, Nick karaoked the song by this same name. It is a two part piece, so double props to him.
