BLD New Year's
Kevin and I were discussing the history of BLD New Year's last night. Pleasae feel free to correct any errors. Please note, I am using the year of the EVE, not the DAY. There is bound to be confusion here. Here is a summary:
1998: No BLD New Year's. We spent the evening in DC with Amanda and Simone, among others, and I left early the next day to drive back to Chicago in order to beat the blizzard
1999: Inaugural BLD New Year's at Lincoln's. Papsdorfs only married couple.
2000: Cleveland; Papsdorfs, Walshes married. No babies. (Tiffany, when did you get married?)
2001: Boston. Mazzuccos now married.
2002: California. Kevin and I were pathetically alone on NYE, as I was working Labor and Delivery and Kevin was watching fireworks on tv, although he could have walked down a few flights of stairs to see the same fireworks outside.
2003: Linthicum, MD. Aidan and Mary Grace and Amanda and Caleb first 4 BLD babies.
2004: New Jersey. Fasanis, Porters and Doucets now also married. Wesley, Caitlyn added to Gen 2.
2005: Richmond, VA. Christian added to BLD Gen 2. Anne and Jill secretly pregnant. Greenwalds now married.
2006: Cleveland again. Julia and Reva now born, with babies Slack and Mazzucco #3 on the way. Hurst and Willis engaged. By my calculations, since the last time we had NYE in Cleveland, there have been 9 babies born(plus 2 more conceived), 5 weddings and 2 engagements. I'd say we have been a productive little group.
By the way, we get dibs on Mr. and Mrs. Hurst for babysitting. (Just kidding).
We can't wait!

One advantage of not getting more than 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep for 3+ weeks is that things seem a lot funnier. For example, "Hurst and Willis engaged." ;-)
Hopefully, NYE 2006 will bring the baby count to 10, since we hope to have a baby Eliza before Christmas. I'm still not sure what the chances are that we'll be able to make an appearance - she'll probably have to be a couple weeks early for that to happen, but we'll see. And we were married in April 2002.
Sleep deprived minds think alike. Glad to see I'm not the only one who thought "Hurst and Willis engaged" sounded hilarious.
And actually, Anne and I didn't know she was pregnant at the time.
Okay, this could just be my confused pregnant mind, but didn't we have NYE 2001 in Cleveland (and not 2000)? I just thought I remembered being engaged the year we had it in Cleveland (which I think would make it 2001.)Someone please confirm.
I think you're right, Tiffany, because we lived in Boston when it was there and moved to NYC in 2001. Plus, Dan and Betsy weren't married yet and they were married the first time we were in Cleveland.
Makes you wonder who may be secretly pregnant this year (known or unknown to the couple). Hopefully not me.
I think Tiffany and Jill are right. I think Kevin and I had 2000 and 2001 reversed.
Tiffany's correction is definitely right. NYE in Boston was at an apartment I lived in when not married.
When we were at Rob's in 2002, I remember calling the Walshes. You guys sounded miserable. I thought you were going to start crying right there on the phone. Also, Betsy was secretly pregnant in 2002 at Rob's. I was worried about her using the trampoline.
The correction is correct. I bought a truck from Lincoln at the Boston NYE before driving up to Dartmouth for my BE (graduated 2001).
Wow, thank you for the Chronicles of BLD NYE. Lot's of good memories (and regrets for not being at more).
