As the year draws to a close, and I embark on the birthdays of first S, then me, I am looking back and finding myself very thankful for the time we've had together so far.While I have high hopes that the next decade will bring us perhaps even fonder memories then the last, there are some great times behind us:
Being the subject of a nationally syndicated news article
Going to New York City and covering Madison Square Garden, Broadway, Times Square, China Town, Staten Island, Rockefeller Center, Central Park, and The Met in under 24 hours
Scrap-booking
Raising a hamster
Raising a cat
Buying our Christmas tree at Walmart
Fighting about Ted Kennedy breaking up the minimum wage filibuster
Halloween as Soulja Boy and Soulja Girl
Mount Vernon
The salmon dinner at J's
...so many, many more.
This year, S and I get the privilege of spending our first New Year's as a couple together, after over 3-and-a-half years together. One year we did talk over the phone as the ball dropped, but we were in different cities, and two of the three years we were on different continents.
This year we will be in my favorite southern state, and the activity of choice will be a tradition of ours, dress-up bowling. This is exactly what it sounds like, going to a bowling alley in your sophisticated party clothes, jacket optional, high-heels not-so-much, and adding to the ensemble your competitive spirit. I am the reigning champion, but maybe S will find himself luckier this time around. I'll be lucky just to be there having the time of my life.
