A change in New Years.

Well this New Years was a little different than years past. Sam and Tony(my brothers) were down in St. George doing a fireworks show. Mandi and Wendi(their wives) went too. So it seemed with some of the family gone, none of the others were going to get together. I usually do a little bit of the party scene and then end up finishing out the night with the fam. But, this year I didn't see any of them.

I went to Becca's house and played multiple games, all very fun. My favorite was what they called Murder Mystery Charades. You send three people out of the room. While they're gone the others pick who died, where they were killed, and what they were killed with. Then one by one, the people come back in and have to act out the clues to each other to figure out what happened. I didn't think that I would like acting out all the clues, but to my surprise I loved it. I would play that game again anytime. We also played Catchphrase(a favorite), and Fact or Crap. 

After ringing in the New Year, the night came to an end, sort of. We then went home and Jon, Andy, Jess, and myself played some foosball. Andy and I won the first game by a large margin, lost the second one closley, and lost the third one by a lot. That's ok, we'll exact our revenge another time.

By then it was 3:30 am, and boy was I tired! I had to read for a little bit though. I got in one chapter of the Book of Mormon, but when I tried my one chapter of Marley and Me I was out. I woke up and here I am. 

It was a different, but great New Years Eve. Even though we weren't together, my family called or text to wish me a "Happy New Year!" and tell me they loved me, I spent time with my friends, and finished it off with some scriptures and my favorite story about a dog.

All in all, it has to be counted with one of the best New Years Eves I've had.
