New Year's Eve

WOW!! Talk about a fantabulous time! Here is a re-cap and hope that your New Year's Eve was great, too!

Had reservations at the Hyatt downtown. The Grand Package included dinner (prime rib, salmon, other 4 courses) party favors (hats, noise makers, glow necklaces, etc) excellent music choices from two rockin out DJ's, champagne toast at midnight, dancing until the wee hours of the morning, a king-sized room overlooking the glassed arboretum, two of our favorite couples to share it with, and pictures with PATRICK PATTERSON!!!

*Patrick Patterson is an incredibly talented basketball player with UK and I love him. He will be playing for the NBA soon enough...watch and see!*

We had the BEST time! This was the first New Year's Eve that Big Daddy and I have ever spent together in 20 years. I must say, as great a time as I had, it was almost worth waiting that long. I love, love, love to dance and boy, we did. It was wonderful. There was a good mix of slow and fast songs, so everyone felt comfortable at some point. I, personally, will dance slow, fast, or swing. I just want to dance! And dancing we did! It was so much fun! I was also very grateful to have learned the Cupid Shuffle with Kathren a few weeks ago as we had the opportunity to show our new skills! lol Absolute blast!

As the clock tick-tocked and the moment rapidly approached for the midnight countdown, everyone crowded the dance floor... Big Daddy pulled me close and as we counted down the last few seconds of 2009, he kissed me. It was one of those kisses that you never want to end because it feels so right, so special, so perfect. We kissed and then held our glasses with our friends and toasted the new year. It was such an awesome moment...Big Daddy kissed me, again.

We danced a little more and then headed out to "people watch" because, let me tell you, there were some amazingly stupid people at the Hyatt with us and plenty to watch. So, we did that for a while and then said our "good nights" to everyone and went to our rooms. A buffet breakfast was included in our Grand Package and breakfast was to begin at 6:30. Well, I think we all knew that was not going to happen considering it going on 2 a.m., so we agreed to meet at 9. As it turns out, 9 was pushing it for us. You see, we stayed up for a while longer in our room...

Six months ago our lives changed. How thankful I am...
