for new years, we had a lovely dinner with matt, carmella, and carmella's parents alan and sarita.

after dinner, matt, carmella, randy, and myself went to the hermosa beach pier where they had a live band and were going to broadcast the ny ball drop on a big screen.

fabulous  nails for a fabulous night!

for 2012, i'm looking forward to:
planning my wedding to the most wonderful guy on this earth
the birth of a friend's baby
embarking on some new professional journeys
taking a few trips
and enjoying every minute of it <3
