52 Weeks of Happiness :: Week 43

We had sushi on New Year's Eve,
just the two of us.

We have this little sushi place
that plays really loud Techno music
and is in a shopping center
with a movie theater right next to it.

It's the perfect place for date night
because you can indulge in adult libations
and then stumble next door
to sober up a bit during the movie
before you have to drive home.

We realized that we didn't have enough time
to sit and relax and finish our wine
before the movie started
so we swiped a to go cup
and covertly took it
into the movie with us.

We giggled and drank sips of wine,
out of a Styrofoam cup,
through a straw,
and watched the film Sherlock Holmes.

I almost fell asleep twice.

Later that evening,
we toasted the New Year with champagne,
20 minutes before midnight,
in our messy kitchen.

Then we ended the night
by shooting off fireworks
on our driveway.

We howled at the moon
and shouted and yelled
and made all the dogs
in our sleepy neighborhood bark.

It was a simple and sweet celebration
with the man I love.

How did I get so lucky?

P.S. Please take a moment to read my pledge, it's a pledge to you!
