Happy 2009!

Hopefully everyone had a wonderful end to 2008.  2009 is the year of many exciting things to come -- of course our wedding (which is in 196 days), a new president, and hopefully an improvement to the sad economy we have right now.  

Last night we had a nice and relaxing but fun night.  Val, Derek, Nicole, Mark, and little Morgan came over to bring in the new year with us.  We chatted for a while, played with Morgan, and hung out early in the night.  Unfortunately, since Morgan isn't old enough to have the desire or ability to stay up until midnight, Nicole and Mark took her home to get her to bed, but we're very happy they stopped by for the time they could.  Around 10:30pm, it was time to bust out Rockband!  This was the first time Val played drums, so she got a good kick out of that one!!

Shaun and I played lead and bass guitar to start out with and then we switched the roles up so Troy played some drums and Derek played some guitar.  With the high level of concentration we needed to do well with the song, it might not look like we were having a lot of fun, but we were!

It was about 3am when we decided to call it a night.  We had to get to bed so that we could get up today at a half-way decent time so we could watch the Red Wings game and the various football bowl games.  So, that's where we are today. 

Hopefully everyone had a fun and safe new year with hopes of a happy and healthy 2009!
