2014

Happy New Year!

Eric and I are starting off the new year in our brand new apartment. Literally, it's a completely remodeled apartment with new everything: floors, cabinets, appliances, counters, light fixtures, closets, doors, windows, and bathroom.

We are excited to be in here after living for three years in our old apartment complex that hadn't been updated since 1964. We are guessing that year, because that was the year stamped on the bottom of our toilet lid.

We really did enjoy living there. We were very happy and will cherish the memories of our first apartment together--but out with the old, in with the new!

We spent this Christmas and New Year's Eve in California.

A great group of people came over for a last minute Christmas Eve/apartment warming party, then we spent Christmas morning at our apartment, followed by a drive to Santa Rosa to spend the rest of the day with the Barger's. 

New Year's Eve was different for us this year, but an amazing experience! We got all dressed up for a formal masquerade ball at the San Francisco Symphony. The price of the seats included masks, beads, and noisemakers, the concert, and the after party which consisted of two live bands with dance floors, endless Prosecco, food, and a midnight balloon drop. This was the first time we've ever gone out somewhere on New Year's, and it was right up our alley.

I have a hunch that 2014 is going to be another awesome year!
