2008

Happy New Year!!
Last night Charlie and I brought in 2008 with some good friends (John, Nujoud, Beth, John, Toby, Tanner and various others) at the Wilke Winter Wonderland new year celebration. Party hats, poppers, champagne drinks all flowed throughout the evening as we ate snacks and played Rock Band on their new PS3 gaming system. Yep, you heard me correctly: Rock Band. It's this game where a bunch of people can play different instruments in a band together - Guitar, Lead Singer, Drums and Bass Guitar (if you have a 2nd guitar). So we jammed out on what is now my new favorite instrument - the drums - and sang terribly. It was so much fun!

We didn't forget to kick it old school with MTV Jams '99 and a little O.P.P. (Yeah John Wil-ke!), so don't you fret :) Dance Party Wilke house was also in full effect - even if it meant just Beth, John and I were throwing our hands in the sky, romping around their living room. Charlie did join in for a little dance action, which was key. At 3:30 am we finally headed home (since Beth said "F-you all, I'm going to bed"...no, just kidding - but she did go to bed.) - Jaime was DD and Charlie was his usual Chatty Cathy self after he'd been boozin' it up all night. I think Wilke found a new favorite drinking partner in Charlie...and who could blame him?

Anyhoo, 2008 started out great. So don't hate.

We hope you all had a safe and happy New Year celebration - see you soon!
