Happy New Year

Well, I have been on a blog vacation lately. In honor of the year 2010, it is time for me to reflect on some of my favorite things from the last 10 years.

The number one spot goes to this guy:

Dave and I met in the spring of 2003, right before I graduated. We went on our first date, and beforehand I didn't think much of it. By the end of the evening it was pretty much assumed (by me at least) that this was it. I knew right away. He is quite literally the love of my life, and I don't know what I would have done without him over the last (almost) 7 years.

It should also be mentioned that there a few things that have really been constants in our relationship. This album is one of them, and has thusly won the coveted spot of numero uno on my list of favorite albums from the last ten years:

Am I allowed to have a favorite song of the decade? I think I am. Although The Zombies' "This Will Be Our Year" wasn't released in the last decade, it has been a personal favorite over the last ten years. Dave and I danced to this at our wedding for our first dance, so you can imagine that I have a certain attachment to it.

Well, that is just the beginning . . . but it seems like a pretty good start.

More soon.

Goodbye and Good Riddance.

Dave and I were working on this list yesterday. We would like to say goodbye to the following:

- Crying baby across the hall

- Bad cooking smells

- Fire alarms (at least one a week)

- Groove on Grove

- The moldy smell that came out of the HVAC unit

- The drain that was always clogged

- People who think it is a good idea to cook popcorn in tupperware in their stove (see the note about fire alarms)

- The constantly broken elevators

- Black dust

- The friday night DJ at the market outside of our apartment building

- Car alarms (all night long)

- $200/month parking garage

- Holland Tunnel

- Non-refundable deposits

- People that don't know how to sort their recycling

I'm sure there are more, but this seems to about sum it up.

We drove to Jersey City early yesterday morning to finish cleaning our old apartment. We were there a total of 3 hours, scrubbed everything up and down, and closed the door forever. It felt so good to hand those keys over the doorman. We also moved everything out our storage space, and hopefully closed out that account.

We will officially never have to make that drive again. Horrah!

It's so nice to feel like that part of our lives is over and done with. We can completely move on, and we have nothing hanging over our heads.

Also, I can't wait to get that security deposit check in the mail!

This is where the name of this blog comes from . . . it's a pretty song.
