2011 Resolutions

I realize it's a few days into 2011 already but my resolutions aren't real until I write them on the blog are they?

Here ya go folks:
1. Attend Mass once a month. (totally stealing this idea from Patti b/c it's a really good one!)

2. Create our Italy scrapbook (it's been almost 3 years now...)

3. Create our wedding scrapbook, I hope to do this before our 2nd wedding anniversary in June.

4. Bring my lunch to work more often, try and only eat out once a week.

5. Discover and Explore Oklahoma City by trying something new once a month, whether it be a new restaurant or attending an event. Since this is our home for the next 3 1/2 years we should start exploring now before it's time to move! (If anyone has any good recommendations for places in OKC I'd love to hear them!)

NYE in CB (part 2)

To continue from Part 1... We all got ready to go out for New Years Eve!

Then we busted out all the NYE party favors!

We had glowsticks, horns, silly string and poppers. We were set!

I only took one picture at dinner... of Taryn and Matt. haha! It's cute of you guys though!

Dinner was deeeeelicious! We ate at Slogar, a family style fried chicken restaurant.

Then we headed out to Talk of The Town (or TacoTown if you've been drinking)

We didn't all make it out... some people were feeling under the weather so there was a separate celebration back at the house.

There was some dancing..

and some glow bracelet ring toss...

and some characters.

Dave and Cross stood guard, not letting the freaks into our area. Look at the girl with the gold armband. Since when did NYE suggest you should dress like you're going to a medieval fair?

Rodine and I both found hats in the bathrooms... this is supposed to be a hardcore face?

Yeah it's not working...

The group that stayed out til Midnight.

The woman who kissed Cross at midnight, then tried to kiss Rodine, only to have him pull away and her flick him in the mouth.

Yeah.. it was time to go.

We walked back in the freezing cold.

cheeese

That's just the snowdrift they've pushed off the street behind us.

When we got back we played multiple games of asshole in a circle of glowsticks.

Lots of guys ended up being the a-hole. But not me and Chance. We're pros!

Then we busted out dringgaaaa!

In case you don't know, Dringa is Jenga with things written on each block that you must do if you pull out the block. i.e. drink 2 and give out 4, do the macarena and drink 3, bark like a dog and give out 6, put this block right back while drinking... it's always very entertaining!

Thanks to my sis for this awesome Christmas present last year!

oops!

After Dringa we watched Out Cold and fell asleep. It was a great New Years Eve!

This is the view from our balcony the next morning.

Happy 2011!

I went up to the mountain to get my ski pass to give to Dave to use for the day.

He covered up the picture, and just pretended he was me :)

New Years Day consisted of laying around watching football and episodes of The League.

Nick taught Patti how to play pool and Gracie was so confused as to why she couldn't play with the balls.

I made sausage balls to watch the OU game, poor Gracie was tortured by them being there.

OU Won!!! And we all retreated to our rooms to pack and rest up for the drive the next day.

byebye CB, until next year...

NYE in CB! (part 1)

We had an absolute blast in Crested Butte over New Years Eve. It was extremely cold, so I opted not to ski and just hung out at our awesome place with everyone while a few brave people skied and snowboarded.

The drive was looooong... and Dave's fantasy football team was in the finals during our drive there. He had me checking the game and his scores simultaneously for a good hour and a half.

He won!!! And both of our phones almost died.. but the important news is he won!! Yay!

The drive the next day was a little scary... visibility was really low, but we made it.

Huge thanks to my Mom for letting us borrow her awesome 4WD car! We couldn't have done it without it!

We were happy to be there, unloaded all the food and more importantly, the drinks.

Check out our "Rapper Fridge"

Yes, that's 8 bottles of champagne up top, and a full drawer of Miller Lite.

The guys checked to see if the hot-tub was heating up and we got started with some beer pong! 

First things first, Rodine found the asshole hat. Phew.

After 15 hours of driving we made it, drinks were in order.

Mmm and queso!

Patti and I kicked Dave and Nick's butts at Beer Pong! Seriously.

We were pumped! This never happens.

Then we played Cross and Rodine, Patti and I were so on our game we took them to overtime. By this time, we were both over it and wanted someone to just win. I'd like to mention I made the coolest shot ever - a running throw shot! Booya! They won but whatevs.

Luckily there was enough tequila to go around... Because after 2 games of beer pong, tequila is what you need to psych yourself up for a hot tub in the freezing cold.

Hot Tub Time!

(not to be confused with Hot Tub Time Machine..)

The next day we met up at the mountain for lunch with everyone!

Taryn and Matt made it and the group was complete!

Patti loves Nick. She clearly wanted me to take this pic.

So proud of Dave for listening to me and renting a helmet. Which, by the way, he said saved his life b/c he took a bad fall. You're welcome for saving your life. :)

Yes, it's an XXL, this guy has the biggest head ever.

We headed back to the house to watch football and nap.

Then, Patti and I made dinner with the help of Dave, Taryn and Chance.

We made Pioneer Woman's 3 cheese Stuffed Shells - they were a huge hit!

Taryn and Matt cleaned up. Isn't Matt's outfit awesome? Taryn says he's always wearing shorts with socks like this. Love it.

While they cleaned, I tried to get my high school rap playlist to work, but then I remembered I have the 1st iphone ever and the headphone jack sucks. (Don't worry I found a way around it and yesterday I got a new iphone!)

Who knows what these 2 are doing?

Rick and Chance cuddled.

Dave and I played Matt and Rodine in... you guessed it! Beer Pong!

I think we played 5 games... And I think they beat us every time. Dave was not on his game.

The next day... we all hailed Nick for making a pan full of nachos! :)

Rodine and I were determined to finish the 500 piece puzzle of Ireland.

He's camera shy I think? Or embarrassed to be doing a puzzle? Who knows?

We did it! Can't believe all the pieces were there. Ahhh so relieved that damn puzzle was done.

Then we all got ready to celebrate New Years Eve!!!

Be back manana with part 2.
