Ringing in a new Decade
Today is the last day of the year 2009, and indeed, the last year of the Y2K decade.
A few of my friends on Facebook have posted photos from NYE 1999, showing what they were doing as they entered the new millennium.
I dug into my archives, and found a photo of me and Dick, taken on December 31, 1999.
Trina & Dick
December 31, 1999
We had a low-key evening at home with Pete & Richard, and Mitch and his brother, Bruce. We made dinner at home, then ventured out on MUNI to the Embarcadero to watch the fireworks. Funny thing is, once we were there, we decided it was all too crowded and crazy for our taste, and we took MUNI back home well before the clock struck Midnight.
Tonight, we'll be having a low-key evening at home with Pete and Richard. We'll be making dinner at home, and honestly, will probably retire before the clock strikes midnight. Some things never change. :)
It's interesting reflecting on the past decade, and how things have changed.
Dick and I had been dating for a year at that time. Since then, we've each moved a couple of times (and yes, that does mean moving in together, and eventually setting up house at "His 'n Her Condos"), we've added some furry companions to our family (We got 3 cats in 2000 - Claude now lives happily with my parents, Marcel sadly passed away just this last March, and little Noe is still as fluffy, spunky, and funny as ever), we did some wonderful travel (London, Paris, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Granada, Seville, Madrid, Shanghai, Tokyo, Alaska, Hawaii, etc.), got married, and created many, many wonderful memories with family and friends, old and new!
Overall, a pretty fantastic decade for us. It's amazing just how much can happen in 10 years when you take a moment to think about it.
Happy New Year to all of my friends and family out there.
Here's to a Happy and Healthy 2010!
