Happy 2008! I always love a new year. For me it's a fresh start; a chance to do better and to be better. On New Year's Eve Jared and I decided to keep things simple. After going to the store and grabbing something for dinner we headed over to Jared's brother's house and hung out with their family. I had a fun time beating everyone in pool (pure luck) and then breaking Jared's winning streak in Foosball!! We're sorry we missed out on Carrie's fondue party! We heard the night was a hit, Carrie! Jared and I had one heck of a year last year! Some of the things we accomplished; moving to AZ from TN, Jared buying the practice, buying a house, and adding another boy to the family. We were busy!

One thing I would like to do more this year...go on more dates with Jared! Last weekend Jared and I ate at a place called TRADER VIC'S in Scottsdale. Wait, let me back up a little. Jared is obsessed with the song Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon. Don't worry, if you haven't heard of it you're not alone. In the song it mentions a werewolf drinking a pina colada at Trader Vic's. Jared's sister, Julie is aware of Jared's obsession, and so when she heard about a Trader Vic's right here in AZ she had to let us know and Jared couldn't wait to go! It was a fun night and we enjoyed sharing our Trader Vic's experience with Brad and Julie! I will always remember to never order a rack of lamb. Or maybe just don't ask for it medium well. Brad's dish was pretty much charred and the meat he did have wasn't meat at all, but fat. Thanks Brad for the bite of fat! Julie, nice choice with the crispy duck. Jared, many thanks for ordering the halibut. The chef didn't feel like it turned out the way it should, so we had to wait awhile for our food. In the meantime we munched on free appetizers and later enjoyed our free dessert! The food really was good and the dessert was even better. Maybe that's because it contained alcohol?! **Once we found out it contained alcohol we stopped eating it right away! I love dates.

Christine, what did you eat? I can't imagine you would have tried any of those foods... except dessert of course!
Hopefully this year will be a little more calm for your little family... mine on the other hand, I'm expecting to have a crazy year like yours last year!
hey christine it was good to hear from you. sorry that i'm just barely getting back to you. your little family is cute and it's good to see you doing so well. it's crazy who you come across on these blogs. well talk to you later.
chanell:)
how fun that sounds!!! i wish we were there for that, i bet brad had you guys laughing all night with his lamb fat. cute pic. of you guys.
I think you enjoy dates so much because you probably get alchoholic things and you never know it! ;) Just kidding! Trader Vic's sounds like my kind of place! If only I could get a certain someone to take me out there.... ;)
Happy New Year! I can't wait to see what this year brings. Love you guys!
Oh, it is so nice to have such great back ground music. I think that that song should be on repeat permanently. Thanks for a great night out. I don't think that I ever would have tasted crispy duck if we hadn't gone.
Sounds like you had a great new year. I also ordered the rack of lamb for the first time at a restaurant here, and it will also be my last! What a coincidence.
