Christmas Party

Nick had his Christmas party on Saturday for his work. He was really reluctant to go, but knew that he had to. So we took Calla to Pat & Terry's for the night and headed up. I listened to Nick complain all day about not wanting to go and blah blah blah. He tells his parents that we will be back by 9 at the latest (the party started at 6), and that was fine by me because I didn't want to leave Calla! We get to the party and Nick starts drinking and having fun. Before I know it Nick has had too much to drink and is feeling a little tipsy, okay a LOT tipsy! This is the very first time I have seen Nick drunk in the whole 8 1/2 years we have been together! He usually doesn't get drunk. Heck he rarely drinks, and when he does it is only 1 or 2! Oh what a Nick it was. You think he is mouthy when he is sober...he's even more mouthy (in a good/funny way). 9pm came and went. Then I asked Nick if we could leave at 10:30 (I really wanted to get home to Calla) and he was like "I'm PR'in it". So finally at 11:30 I asked again (I didn't want to nag, because he was having a good time)and yay! we got to leave! (partially because he was getting annoyed with someone running their mouth nonstop about aggravating stuff). It was 1 hour back to Pat & Terry's and then another 45 min to the house (because we went out of our way to drop Calla off)! I was exhausted from driving when we got home. It was a good time though for both drunk Nick and sober Crystal :). Next year might even be better because we can maybe stay longer with Calla being older.
