Past New Years' Eves

In middle and high school, I could have cared less about New Years' Eve.

College changed that.

• Ringing in 2008. I went to the Gator Bowl with Daddy in Jacksonville. One of my favorite memories of college & Daddy. So much fun.
• 

• Ringing in 2009. I had food poisoning. Not one of my favorite memories with my Momma.
• Ringing in 2010. Logan, Ellen, I and Co bought expensive tickets to celebrate at the National Building Museum in DC. They ran out of alcohol for us and the band was like a singer from the Stone Age wearing fur. Needless-to-say, we had a blast on our own that weekend just being girls and hanging out.
• 
• Ringing in 2011. Logan, Ellen, and I went back to DC for a few days and had a blast just being with each other. We rang it in at this bar with these 2 awesome people we met. They were beyond having swag.  
• 
• Ringing in 2012. I know one thing it will include Ellen, different lengths of hair, and  the friendship this picture exudes.

Moral of the Story: A new year may bring thoughts of new experiences and habits, but sometimes it's the foundation built in the past that makes those experiences and habits as enriching as they feel.
