It's 2008. I remember when that year seemed like something from the Jetsons. I was pretty sure we'd be living in space by this year. Funny, we're still driving on roads and I don't have a robot cleaning my house. Bummer.
We had a great New Year's Eve by celebrating with some friends. The girls stayed up past midnight, which I was really surprised about. I thought for sure they would fall asleep watching movies. Ryan really outdid himself with a lively game of BINGO complete with prizes. This is a Hulse family tradition started by Grandpa Ariel Hulse years ago. It is the most fun! When we play with Ryan's parents there is always money hidden on a can of Pringles or inside the lid of a peanut container. One year I won the $100 bill! Ryan hid a few dollars in our prizes and seriously it was just as exciting to find a dollar. Ryan chose the perfect prizes for the girls-lip gloss rings, fuzzy pens, tiny notebooks, spinning ribbons, etc. They loved it!
We also played the TV version of Scene It. Megan sent it to us for Christmas and I felt so smart playing it. I knew almost every answer. Thus, my true talent is revealed...watching television and answering tv trivia.
Today we slept in and then headed to the furniture store to order some new furniture and then over to IHOP for a late, late breakfast. I had the carrot cake pancakes and they were delicious. I don't usually enjoy eating at this locale, but I was really into those pancakes. We then headed home to lay around, which we did successfully.
We wish happiness for you in the coming year. We hope to see all of our friends and family sometime this year. I really hope we will see more peace and happiness throughout the world and that I'll be able to personally contribute to this in some way.

The carrot cake pancakes of which you speak sound intriguing. Perhaps I will hop on over to our IHOP and try them out, in honor of you, of course! That's what friends do.
