New Years Day

For this blog, I don't exactly have a plan set in place. I want to write every once in a while, yet consistently, throughout my last semester on campus but also get in the habit of writing for next summer. In May, I will graduate from the University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point with a degree in Arts Management, an emphasis in music, and a minor in business administration. For my final internship, I will be going to London as a part of an internship-study abroad program. I leave in June and will not return until mid-August or -September. Beginning the blog now, grants me enough time to establish a mood and consistency. Enjoy!!

I rang in the New Year with some family. We spent the day going through Kohler Design Center and enjoying the area around Kohler. Sinks, showers, and faucets oh my! We ate lunch at the Horse and Plow, the pub attached to Kohler's American Club. Food was delicious, highly recommend the three cheese and beer soup!
Once we were back to the house and stocked up on liquids and foods for the evening, we began with Bananagrams, followed by Farkle. Both games were a blast but conversation turned to reminiscing of the past and excitement for the future. We discussed some new years resolutions and found that we don't have much in mind beyond improving the experiences from the past and working hard in the future. We also enjoyed a splendid meal cooked by Mary Elizabeth (and Andrew)... baked macaroni and cheese with ham. For dessert, chocolate fondue with angel food cake, pine apple, bananas and strawberries. All the food was to die for.
We began watching Sherlock Holmes with the expectation that it will help us stay awake until midnight or later. Success. We turned to regular broadcasting around ten to midnight, figuring that watching a show with a countdown would be the best way to ring in the new year at twelve.
The clean up began. Bottles, cups, glasses, plates, napkins, you name it, it was probably found. And away to bed for all of us.

As far as what today holds, the answer there is probably football. Definitely some cleaning. Maybe even thank-you-card writing and taking down Christmas decorations. Either way, a slow and relaxing day is in store.

More to come..
