I am so glad 2008 is over- it was seriously the worst year I've had yet! Sure, there were some highlights, namely the new additions to the family and friends and engagements to celebrate but as far as my personal well-being goes...2008 blew!I am looking forward to 2009 bringing better health, luck and financial stability.
We were very happy to bring in the New Year with some wonderful friends. Brittani and Raymond had us over to their beautiful new home in the historical district of Boston Edison in Detroit. They're home was originally built for the Segals, a famous textile family from early in the 19th century. There home is amazing ! Built in 1915 and 7,500 square feet their home is a nostalgic and historical dream! Everywhere you look are remnants of the 1920's; ceramic ceiling decor, foot high crown moldings, 12 foot ceilings and marble fireplaces. It was truly the perfect setting for a New Years party!

The huge Christmas tree in the parlor in the front of the homeThe festivities began with a Mexican Fiesta dinner; fajitas, enchiladas, nachos, Mexican rice, margaritas and more...everything was delish ! Brittani and Raymond took great care in making sure I had gluten-free options available, which I greatly appreciated! Then Raymond took us all on a tour of the home, the home is pretty large so this took awhile...but learning all about how "the rich" lived back in the early 1900's was fascinating. Then of course, Brandon broke out the guitar hero and Lori showed us her skills. The night continued with champagne, festive shots, dancing in the foyer and some card games. A wonderful and memorable New Years!
