America the Beautiful

In the spirit of the 4th, and like many other bloggers I'm dedicating this post to our wonderful country. 

I may not always agree with the issues and decisions made.

We all have our flaws just like anyone else, but regardless of that I'd like to say....

WE ARE SO BLESSED!!!!!!

Blessed to have the freedoms we have thanks to the men and women who have sacraficed their lives for that freedom.

Blessed to have the families that support those that serve, and even those of us who don't.

Blessed to the the right to an education, food, and other basic essentials that many other countries to do not have.

Blessed. Blessed. Blessed.

It's easy to forget but I know that I count my lucky stars regularly for what I have, and not just the things I earn for myself, things that others put down their lives for.

Happy Wednesday!

NYE & Tuesday Topics

So I have a couple things on the docket for you lovies today! 

First, our NYE recap :)

Our friends Kyle and Kristin suggest getting tickets to the party that the Renaissance hotel throws.

Kev and I had never been to one of the hotel NYE parties, and it was our reception venue so we figured the party were the perfect plans. 

Well, they ended up being the best plans! I had so much fun, and it was so nice to not have to worry about being outside in the cold or getting a cab.

We decided to get a hotel room so we had a place to hang out, and of course sleep after the festivities.

Said hotel room is where all of my pictures happened...

 mainly because I was not comfortable taking that bad boy downstairs into the drunken madness that was the ball room.

 Before the party started at 8 we hung out in the room and got ready. 

Despite the ticket including drinks we brought some beer and of course champagne! 

Isn't my man handsome?

I love getting dressed up with Kev, I feel so fancy :)

Dress: Kiki La'Rue

Apparently blue the color this year!

I loved all of the dresses that we wore, and most of the ones I saw throughout the night were awesome!

Lots of sparkle and shine.

Luckily for me my friends love to dance as much as I do!

 I believe the robot is actually happening.

Note to self: never buy $1 champagne glasses from Giant Eagle again...at least if you don't want the bottom to fall off...

 Cheers to 2013!

I have to give props to the Renaissance for throwing a great party. The atmosphere was perfect, the adult beverages flowing - we didn't have to stand in line for.ev.er to get something. The music was really good. Needless to say we spent the evening dancing our booties off! Even the amount of people that were there was perfect - not to few, not to many and the correct age group for us :)

The Renaissance hired a photobooth, and of course, we had to jump in...

ok pay and then jump in...

We all had a really great time, and I'm glad I brought in 2013 with some really amazing people.

 How was your New Years?

Do anything fun?!

 Finally I came across this link up and I wanted to share, especially this topic because I think it's great to build up other bloggers :)

The only problem...I can only pick 9 when I have so many I love!
