First off, Happy New Year to all of our friends and family! We hope this finds you well:) Sean and I had a wonderful Christmas here in NY - our first one away from home, on our own. While we definitely missed our families, we tried to carry on some of our traditions and resigned to sharing the day through video chatting and many phone calls. We also hosted a wonderful Christmas for all of us in NY who were unable to make it home. Amy from Boston came to visit and Allison and Morgan came to share the big day with us. We were so blessed to be surrounded by such friends at this time of the year. Following Christmas, my parents arrived (by van)! Yes, they drove all of the way here from MO and delivered a beautiful china cabinet they found and fixed up, and the rest of our wedding stuff. The best part of the next few days was sharing it with them….
We fought the crowds a couple of times as we watched Young Frankenstein, traveled down 5th Ave past the plaza hotel and rockifeller, took the Staten Island Ferry and ate dinner at the Cafe Un, Deux Trois where we went on our trip to NY when I was 5 yrs old. Otherwise, we enjoyed sharing time in our apt., catching up, having a belated Christmas and making/eating delicious food! New Year’s Eve was a blast, cheering the Jayhawks on to their win at the Back Page, and then returning home to watch the ball drop from the TV - an event we unanimously agreed to watch rather than attend in the freezing cold!:) Alas, the holidays always do fly by, but while they were here, they were wonderful! We hope the same goes for you and encourage you to check out our wonderful pictures from these events in the photo gallery (once I figure out how to add albums:) Ha. Best wishes from NY and take care!
Instead of casting New Year’s resolutions that will never be kept, we thought it was time for something a bit more long lasting, 1620’s, and thought out. “Why not a manifesto?” Great idea! Below is our 2009 manifesto centering around more environmental practices at home. Please leave us your thoughts and comments. We will be sure to keep you up to speed on how things are going. Download it here.
THE SMITH GREEN MANIFESTO
Adapted from the “Green Green Manifest”
Let it me said the life we’re living now as we start 2009 isn’t completely without considering our environmental impact. Let it also be said that there is much more we could be doing to lessen our environmental footprint. With that in mind, we are going to do that in the following ways:
