New Year's Day is a big milestone for me and Matt. Our first date was on January 1st, so with every new year on the calendar, we also turn the sand over on a whole new year for the two of us. Today marks the fourth anniversary of our first date and thus our fifth NYD spent together.
Last year, I summed up our 2009 by the numbers and thought I'd do the same this time around! Each number has a link associated with it, so feel free to explore if you're so inclined.

Ah, and that about wraps up our 2010. It was full of ups and downs, but we like to think we made the best of it. We made great memories and are so excited to see what 2011 has in store! After all, we're bigger fans of odd years anyway. :-)
So, at last, we wish you all a very happy New Year!

ReplyDeleteOh. Don't answer that. I'm retarded. (in my defense I'm looking at this on my phone so it wasn't immediately clear in the picture what the "big jump" was. I got it now.)
