New Years 2011

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2011 was a great year! Some of the highlights included our March trip to visited my brother Mitch in Ohio and our July trip to Hawaii!! In between these great moments were little blessings. 2011 included more time with friends, family, and my loving husband Joe. I will cherish each and every moment as I say.... "HELLO 2012"!

For New Years Eve, Joe REALLY wanted to experience something new. We had never really gone out for a New Years... so this year we went big! Joe, myself, and Kelly went to the Tempe Block Party!

The first adventure of the night was taking the lightrail to Tempe. It was not bad at all on the way there... but on the way home, IT WAS PACKED. We were like sardines :)

It was tons of fun! I have never seen so many people all crammed into one place (except maybe at Disneyland). We began our night walking down Mill and checking out all the exciting activities. Since we hadn't eaten, our first stop was The Mellow Mushroom! We had some Blue Moons and Pizza... with some laughs in between.

We then headed to a Beer Garden where Joe say his favorite band of the night, Cousin Affect. They are a local group from Phoenix and Joe really liked how diverse they were.

We finally rang in the New Year at the main stage! The Gin Blossoms were playing and it was nice to hear music from my youth.

It was so nice to experience something new with the people I love.

I know that 2012 is going to be a great year... I have a feeling some exciting events are in store!
