2008: a year in review

2038-01-19T03:14:07Z

I've had some very good things happen this year, I have to admit. I decided the best way to explain all the changes is thru picture and short explanations.

dingoespain and I have been in our apartment/home for a little over a year now. And we've spent most of the year furnishing and filling out apartment with things that we like. I'm nearly done with my room. I just need a bookcase (and I know which one I want) and poster frames for some of my Broadway window cards. Here's what our place looks like:
The steps to our apartment (looking down):

Here is my room:

I've got more pictures of the place, so I may post them over time. As I said, my room is still looking a little bare because I don't have any art up yet (really, those print outs of Christian Kane, Steve Carlson, Jensen Ackles and Jared Padalecki are not what I planned). And some of my stuff is still in boxes in my closet.

In April, we adopted another kitty. (We already had Kane, because I had him since he was a baby.) We adopted Carlson from someone off Craig's List, and he's a handful. He was about 4 or 5 months old when he joined the family.

In May for Donna's birthday, we went to the Bronx Zoo. The tiger was the best part, but we enjoyed our day there.

In June, we managed to adopt another kitten. This was completely unplanned, but she's a beautiful addition to our household. This is Grizabella (Bella, Binky or Miss B. for short):

Here are the babies all together:

We also saw Eddie Izzard at Radio City:

In July, we visited the Statue of Liberty.

We also went to see the American Idol concert in Newark.

Donna organized her room (I helped slightly) and switched jobs in August. If you want to see pics of her room, you'll have to visit her LJ.

In September, because Donna and I were both making a bit more money, started seeing Broadway shows again. I used to go a lot a few years back, so I've gotten Donna into it as well. We managed to see Xanadu, Grease, A Tale of Two Cities, and the Little Mermaid all in one week.

In October and November, we got to see Legally Blonde, Young Frankenstein (twice), Spamalot (twice), A Tale of Two Cities (again), The Phantom of the Opera, Wicked, Chicago and Jersey Boys.

And then Christmas rolled around:

Last weekend we visited NYC, but I will include pictures later on. We haven't finished taking our NYC Xmas pictures, so I'll post those next week. We are headed to see Grease this weekend for the closing and to see Ace off again.

Stay tuned, as 2009 looks to be as interesting and as life changing as 2008!
