Given today's occasion we thought it would be a fun idea to discuss past New Year's we celebrated together. Our first New Year's together was in 2008 celebrated in our friend, Katie Ann's, basement in Etobicoke. The whole Saucy Posse was there and Luke had officially been accepted as a member. For those who don't know the Saucy Posse is a close-knit group of my friends from my highschool and Luke was officially the first addition to this group ever. Kinda a big deal. Overall the night was great and we shared our first New Year's kiss as a couple! Yay memories!
Fast forward a year (2009) - Luke and me are living together in his apartment in Toronto and this is our first time hosting New Year's with all of our friends. It was a lot of fun! Preparing the appetizers, drinks, champagne toasts, etc. Luke had to go to bed a little early since Calvin made him drink sketchy Jamaican rum which proved a bit too much (an ongoing theme that Calvin and Luke share). lol. Also a fantastic year. Luke and I really loved his apartment in Toronto and still miss it. It definitely was a great evening.
Our favourite New Year's was in 2010 when Luke and I stayed with our friend Marissa in Toronto in the Gladstone Hotel! A bunch of people showed up including some friends of Marissa, the Saucy Posse, and some randoms that ended up crashing the night... it was a serious party which ended early for me and a difficult morning. But a nice breakfast with Luke and Marissa at the Gladstone hotel and some Koren food later that day for lunch did the trick. The hotel had great panoramic views of downtown Toronto which made the night extra special!
These years stand out mostly because they were years that for the most part Luke and I were actually together living in Toronto. The years after that have been great but not as extravagant as our earlier years with all of our friends :P Tonight Luke and me are having a nice relaxing New Year's eve at his new place in Providence, RI. Still dressed up with drinks, music and good company. :)
