Our most memorable New Years Eve didn't happen tonight,
since we are into phase two of our house facelift...
But rather, it was 15 years ago tonight.
15 whole years have passed since then. Wow.
Dennis and I were on our second date,
and he drove in from LA to take me to this.

It was a New Years Eve dance for singles at this church building.
Only our second date, so we still didn't know each other very well.
(but we had been talking for 3 months prior, so we weren't exactly strangers either)
While Dennis and I were dancing, suddenly the power went out and the fire alarm blares.
Everything went pitch black.
We all promptly evacuated the building.

As all our fellow dance goers congregated around the doors outside
waiting for lights to come back on,

Den said to me, "Let's go sit in my car where it's warm."
Tonight we went back to that parking lot,
and we both remembered where his car was that night.

The second stall to your left.
15 years ago, there we sat and talked and kept warm.
As strange as this may sound now, do you know what I was thinking then?
I thought….well I must be safe,
I thought….well I must be safe,
I'm sitting here with a cop.
About a half hour passed and the lights came back on in the building and we went back inside.
I consider that night the beginning of our future together.
The last evening of 1998.
We were married 9 months later.
After our trip down memory lane tonight,
we got to join the party going on @ The Home,
as we dearly refer to it.
It's THE Home because that's where my Dad and Susan live.
Aren't they so cute!
See that couple dancing in front? They are the talk of The Home. I'm not saying anymore than that. :)
Happy New Year!!
