New Years with my boyfriend

I am really and truly looking forward to New Years Eve this year. My last boyfriend would take me to these big parties, but the only thing that I liked about them was getting dressed up. The paradox was that since I normally don't dress up that much, I wasn't very comfortable the entire night.

Last year, I told myself I wasn't going to stay home again. So I went out, and if it wasn't for the reservist I met, it would have been hell (I felt so old there).

This year, boyfriend said he wanted to come down and see me. I said I'd come to him since long drives aren't good for his lower back. He said he wanted to come. So I had to think of where we could go or what we could do.

I thought about it quite a bit. Mt. Lemmon would be cold and crowded, my best friend in Tucson isn't going to be available, and going up to a night viewing wouldn't really be that intimate. Then it came to me.

Tombstone. He seemed excited about it when I brought it up to him last night. So I'll book a hotel room (rates are very reasonable). Then we'll hit the bars, have drinks, maybe dance a bit. Then we'll go to the room and open a bottle of something (probably wine), and celebrate the New Year. A western, casual, not super crowded event that's only about an hours drive from Tucson.

I suppose I should forward to Christmas more since it'll be here in about a week, then worry about New Years. Yup, in 8 or 9 days, I'll get to see my boyfriend and spend Christmas deep-frying a turkey with the wonderful couple that set us up.
