four years

This is one of my favorite photos of the two of us.
{There is not enough photos of the two of us.}
This is from, when we were dating. We went to an fabulous new years eve party at the turn of the century. {I remember being bummed that the world didn't shut down when we hit 2000, no power went out, nothing shut down, just cheers and kisses - I mean bring that on, but I sort of wanted something to fail or shut down.}
The photo was taken mid-party after everyone had some drinks in them, including our host Molly the taker of this capture. I love how we are blurry, and I am laughing at something he has said to me. The Boy can always make me laugh. One of the many reasons why I love him.

I can't believe four years ago the Boy and I eloped. Went down to city hall on a freezing cold morning in nyc, then we spent a week like tourists with some pretty amazing friends. Who knew that four years later we'd be pregnant and totally crazy sick. Each of us. So we will ring in this anniversary with hot tea and kleenex, but at least we'll be together. It's been an amazing ride so far.  Four years from now we'll have a toddler, but that photo, will always for me, sum up who we are, happily laughing with each other.

    I like that it’s kind of the visual equivalent of an overheard conversation, just dancing around the borders of your ear.
