New Year's Eve 2014

New Year's Even kind of snuck up on us this year.  We had been invited to a party in Boston, but we weren't sure if we wanted to get stuck on that side of the river after ball dropped.  Then we got sick and kept putting off making it plans.

The night before NYE JO suggested we go out to dinner in Boston.  I mentioned I heard they were having a $10 part at Brass Union.  We decided that would be our plan but then Brass Union was sold out and we couldn't pick a restaurant to go to.  I felt stressed about picking a spot.  That's when we saw Ole had reservations.  Our good friend was able to come down and join us.

After dinner we headed back to our place.  We tried our hand at some cocktail making thanks to the Marliave's bartender sharing the recipe for the ever popular Tres Curieux!  Some more friends joined us and we had a lot of fun ringing in the new year with great friends!

I'm looking forward to lots of fun things in 2015, including an epic desert road trip!  Can't wait!!!

Looking back at 2014, here are my top 10 memories (with some ties):

1.  Buying our apartment- being permanent Inman Square residents feels so nice
2.  UConn wins the men's and women's basketball championships!  Seriously, it was awesome!
3.  London- I had a blast, minus the epic trip to the airport on the way home (but even that was funny looking back on it)
4.  My best friend visits- we had a great time living it up in Boston!
5.  Parlor Sports gives us a gift- so our bartender just wanted us to have an autographed bottle of Geno Auriemma wine
5.  Winter night in Harvard Square at the Red House- it was the perfect example of city living!
6.  Christmas Vacation gets extended- after suffering from the flu I got two extra days off to enjoy SnoWin in Inman
7.  Zelda Bar Golf- a great surprise party for JO and a great night with great people
8.  Marathon Monday- the city was back and stronger than ever
9.  Summer in Fall- an epically gorgeous October day and a lounge crawl in the Seaport
10. tie- Calling All Crows benefit weekend- great music, great service project, winning the raffle, drinks at the Hawthorne.
10. tie- Holiday Outing- upside down trees, the Liberty Hotel, and dinner at the Grotto
10. tie- July 4th on the 3rd- getting stuck in the pouring rain and grabbing a drink at West Bridge
