A week ago we got the keys to our new aparment. Yesterday we turned in our keys to 609. And had one final last dinner at Rainbow Chinese (we ate there three times in the last week, it is seriously the best chinese food and we will go back) which we will dearly miss the three minute walk there and that they know Vince by name and his exact order.
There are so many memories in 609 and painting over our palladium blue and leapfrog green walls was incredibly bittersweet. It is crazy how four walls can house so many memories and become so familiar over two years.
Our first Valentine's day there we had no furniture. Vince made a table and chairs from cardboard boxes. He bought candle sticks but no holders so he made one from cardboard and hot glue. Steak dinner on cardboard furniture tastes better than Fleming's Steakhouse.
On March 31st, 2012 after several hours of joke proposals Vince popped the question right there in the middle of our living room. I called my dad from our patio and received excited congratulatory phone calls from friends and family on our couch.
We became a family there. Not just a couple who were dating but creating a deep love and trust for each other.
We had fights. I was messy. He didn't put the toilet seat down.
We made up.
It feels like a chapter of our life has ended and we are just starting to write the next one. Here in 3B.
But first I must deal with this. Build and organize this nest of ours. And I'm excited to do so!
