I just had a moment with myself. Standing in the kitchen, almost totally packed up, Home Depot boxes are the decor of choice this week. My eyes, they got a little misty.
This little junior 4 called home. We moved in when we were still on the falling in love ride that summer of 2009. It was the place we popped champagne with Chris & Linds the night of our engagement. It was where we had our first Christmas tree together, baked our first batch of holiday sugar cookies, and threw our first epic homemade pizza pie party. Eataly's convenient around the corner location makes us look like Batali sidekicks.
We sat for hours in the office room during "the year of the wedding." Spreadsheets and seating charts covered the floor. So many moments of "Leeeeee, come here please!" and he'd swoop in and lean over with his chin on my shoulder as I stared at the computer screen: "are you OK with this timeline for the band?" "you sure you dont care AT ALL what flower your boutenniere is?"
Marathon Breaking Bad & Dexter viewing sessions this winter. Waving to the Olsen twins. Giving Woody the duck his first stuffed perch.
The hours and hours of summer evenings spent on the roof, dinner or drinks or taking in July 4th fireworks. Elizabeth's bachelorette party weekend lived on that roofdeck.
Sharing wine with the doormen on New Year's Eve :)
Lee's 30th Birthday surprise! Got you.
And in April, it was in this tiny kitchen that I welcomed him home from work with the happiest news of our married life...a baby is on the way!
This will always be our first home together. That place that was just ours, just perfect for us.
