New Year 2009

Well, this year has been a bit different from the previous ones. First of all, I was kind of single...well, my husband was thousands of miles away, and let me tell you it is no fun to be alone on New Years, especially when around you everybody is with their significant others. So, it felt a bit lonely, even though Matt did call me exactly at 12:01 am Russian time and wished me Happy New Year (although, I think it was like 3pm his time :)) We talked for probably 15 minutes, but still, after that I had to go back to the party realizing that I was without my husband :( But besides that, this New Year was great because I got to spend it with my dear friends in Russia. One of my best girlfriends invited me to celebrate NY with them, and it was so special!!! It's been about 10 years since I celebrated New Years with my friends, so that part was spectacular, and it was so much fun! I spent the night at my friend's house and then we continued our celebration on January 1st. It's kind of weird to see that my friend is married and with a kid, but our friendship is still strong :) Anyway, it was great to spend time with friends. I was a bit torn though, because I think my parents were a bit disappointed that I did not spend the day with them...but I hope they forgave me for bailing on them to have fun with my friend.

Anyway, even though this year was special because of reuniting with my old friends, next year will be better because I will have somebody to kiss on the actual NY and I will be surrounded by my American friends. Too bad I have to wait a whole year for that...although I am sure I will kiss my hubby plenty before next NY and I am pretty certain that we will have a party when I get home, so I can see all my friends :)

Oh, and even though I went to bed at 5 am on Jan 1, I made sure that I wake up at 9 am and tell my hubby Happy New Year when it was 12am his time :) I am sure he was a bit lonely as well!
