Times Square

We thought it was about time we spent New Year's Eve in NYC! Glad we did it, don't ever want to do it again!!! We started to evening chasing a horse drawn carriage trying to take pictures of the proposal and FREEZING to death. After we lost the horse and any sight of Andrew and Hilarie, we stopped in Central Park and took some pictures.
Then we made our way back to Ray's Pizza, which is our favorite NYC pizza place. On the way we stopped in at Trump Tower and took some pictures by the waterfall, we made a few other stops, but didn't take any pictures.
Then was my favorite activity for the night...Comic Strip Live...Jaron and I try to take in a comedy show whenever we're in New York and this is our favorite place to go, mostly because we get free tickets and just have to pay for drinks. It was a lot more crude then we are used to, probably because of the night and the crowd, but it was still a lot of fun and our cheeks and stomachs were all super sore from laughing so much. And it was WARM!!!
This last picture is what I felt like the rest of the night. It was freezing cold, there were more people in Times Square then you can possibly imagine, and they cage you up in sections once you get there. Seriously, looking back I'm glad I did it, but if anyone else comes to visit and wants to do that...Jaron and I will wait for you back at the hotel in the warm, comfortable, spacious room. I really can't remember much, other then Landon and Kendra somehow jumping over the gates and then my legs not being about to move from lack of circulation, then we lost everyone and it was just craziness. Jaron looked at my at one point and said, "Amy, I'm probably going to fight these guys...just thought I'd warn you." To which I reminded him that his backup just hoped the fence and left him and begged him the just ignore the idiots in front of us. I was sooooo happy to get to the hotel that night! I think the night would've been a lot more fun if I was back in high school, maybe college...but I think I've outgrown that whole scene now. Thank Heavens!
Happy 2009!
