Happy New Year!! Sieb and I were scheduled to visit Mike and Jenny in Texas for New Years's. However, plans changed. Sieb has been dealing with a terrible sinus infection. Faith's dog unexpectedly died this week which has been extremely traumatic. Faith, Mike and Jenny are devastated (rightfully so). Additionally when I made these plans I was confident we could get away for a weekend and leave Nick. I'm still confident we can get away and leave Nick but maybe leaving him over New Years Eve wasn't the best parenting decision. Here I am on Jan. 1 and it appears to be uneventful for both my boys but just the same I didn't want to be in Texas if Nick got himself in a pickle - just saying. So as is always the case I called my sister, my unwavering and devoted side kick. On Dec. 30 we had cocktails at our favorite cocktail bar/restaurant.
On New Years Eve we tried a new restaurant - Wesley's Grill. Sieb is a foodie and we rarely have success when we go out to eat. We leave and shrug our shoulders with an "it was okay" attitude but not last night. Wow! Wesley's Grill did not disappoint. Craig had suggested we try this place months ago but it's located in a strip mall and we made fun of Craig. Oh Yes we did. I've since apologized to my brother in law. One certainly doesn't go to Wesley's for the ambience. It's definitely all about the food.
After going out to eat Kim and Craig had a party to attend. When I realized Kim was going to wear a sparkly shirt I had to lend her my rocking sparkly boots.
Although we didn't ring in the New Year in Texas as planned we made the best of things. Big hugs and thanks to my sister and Craig for hanging with us for a short while last night. Jay was with Trystan and Nick was with friends. It was nice to get out and do something last night and of course I was in bed and sound asleep well before midnight.
Cheers to 2024!
