Can't believe my last post was over two years ago. I have been meaning to write more frequently, but life gets away from you and time flies by before you know it. I actually remember the last day of December 2014 quite clearly, because Edwin, Cookie, and I rushed to catch the first sunrise of the new year on the Lincoln Memorial steps. I remember us getting very little sleep after playing an intense White Elephant game with friends and watching the Times Square ball drop. We got to the Lincoln Memorial steps by 6 AM and giggled at the people next to us who looked more like blanket mummies bundled up in numerous layers. However, we soon realized how little prepared we were as we waited...and waited...and waited for the sun to peek over the trees and over the Washington Monument.
Nearly two hours later, the sky had brightened with the warm sun and we took that grateful opportunity to snap as many photos as we could before returning home. Our fingers and toes were painfully numb from the cold. Our poor 35 pound dog refused to sit on the frozen steps and insisted on getting in (and staying in) our laps. But Edwin and I smile about how it was all worth it, because it made that new year and that site very, very special to us.

The then newly-engaged A&J couple hosted everyone at their place. We are thankful for such awesome friends!
