Giving Thanks: New Year’s Eve – Another Reason To Celebrate

I love celebrating the transfer from the old year into the new.  I love it even more now that I have been dating my boyfriend because it marks our anniversary.  We started dating four years ago, when I was only 16 and he was barely 17.  We always make it special in some way by going out to eat (with money or a gift card given to us for Christmas from my parents) and we either exchange gifts or do something else that is fun. 

Sometimes we hang out with friends or family for the midnight celebration, which we are doing this year, or we relax together and watch the ball drop alone, which we did last year.  Now that I am home we are two hours away from each other, and since San works all the time, it is hard to meet up to see one another.  He asked for our anniversary off from work, though, so we are going to Red Lobster and then spending time with his family. 

I am so excited to celebrate four years of dating and just thought I would share it with all of you.  We are not exchanging gifts this year because we are tight on cash, but what really matters most is that we will be together on this special day.

For the past four years, I have been able to be thankful, on the day to reflect on the past year, for the person who makes me happier than I have ever been and who is always teaching me how important it is to give love to others and work hard even when life seems to be against you.  I think I have learned more in the last four years about life than I was ever taught in school or through experience before San came into my life.  We have many years to look forward to celebrating together.  I can’t wait for more anniversaries, more lessons about life, and millions more smiles.  Happy Anniversary, San!

Now, I’d like to know, how are you bringing in the new year?
