Creatures of habit

Brennan and I love making traditions. We love finding a great pizza place and making that our spot, and then going back again and again and again. Maybe it's about feeling familiar, feeling home, or feeling known. I don't know. But, we are for sure creatures of habit, and I love having our little places, traditions, obscure celebrations.

A few weeks ago we were walking through Central Park, planning on going to the Natural History Museum, when Brennan thought we should go the Met instead because that was the direction we were walking. So, on a whim we decided to go to the Met instead. And, it's donation only so that's a win win in our book.

We got to the Met, made our plan of attack, and went to the cafeteria to get a bite to eat. As we were eating I realized it was September 16th. And then I looked at Brennan and said, OH MY GOSH! I'll tell you why.

B and I arrived in New York on August 16th, 2011. Last year, we celebrated our "1 month in New York" anniversary with a big city adventure. Part of that adventure was going to the Met. It was September 16th, 2011. Do you see?

We were back at the Met an exact year later and didn't even plan it! How weird is that?!

Look at that. Creatures of habit. My bangs are little longer, and we have new sunglasses, but other than that, we're the same. Same people with new adventures...and some of the same ones! And we're still smiling.

Now, if we only knew where we were gonna be September 16th, 2013. Time will tell.
