As we get ready to say goodbye to 2007, we want to take a moment to remember the year that was, as described through Greg and Selena’s blog:

Top Seven things about 2007

7. We discovered more about each other.

This blog was started to capture all the discoveries Greg and Selena had once they moved in together. Some of the early classics include Selena’s fear of running out of tuna , Greg’s belief that dryer balls work, and Selena’s insistence of turning around the silverware tray some of which even were worked into our wedding vows.

So what would 2007 bring? A few samples include Greg learning that Selena doesn’t know how a dishwasher works, and Selena discovered that all guys (even her beloved Sawyer) secretly have a hidden knowledge of something ridiculously geeky – most likely Star Wars lore.

The top comments received about these discoveries came from Kitty in regard to Greg claiming the inner geek rant was a cheap excuse for Selena to put a picture of a hot guy on the blog.

Hey- if she wants to post a picture of some hot guy (Chris O’Donnell) on her blog, there’s nothing wrong with that! You keep on posting those hot picks, Selena (of Chris O’Donnell)… do it! (Chris O’Donnell : )

And Tanya who became disappointed to realize she was not being referenced in the same blog post.

I quickly scanned the post and saw the term “TAWN-TAWN” After reading the post, I realized you were not going to reference me, but in fact a star wars animal.

6. We found our Horcruxes

As Harry Potter and Pals tried to solve the case of the mysterious ticking noise stop Voldemort, Selena and Greg got to wondering into what seven items they would split their souls? Selena’s included her VW Bug, cupcakes and her ratty-ass kitty doll. Greg’s included his TiVo and his new iPhone.

The top comment received about the Horcruxes came from Danielle

I object to the use of term “ratty-ass” to describe gross kitty!

5. We watched a lot of TV

Greg and Selena didn’t blog nearly as much as they could have about television, this year they shook up the TiVo, let go of a few old shows, picked up a few new ones, and spent way way way too much time thinking about our favorite Heroes superpowers

The top comments about TV watching came in regards to those Heroes superpower breakdowns. From Heather:

[O]ne person that you omitted because she was on for like two episodes. Hana Gitelman. Her powers is one I would want so I could check my email while I was driving.

And from Joanna:

I guess people would say I’m a lot like Jessica/Nikki with my whole split personalities, remember the Christmas party? Who was that?

4. We dealt with real issues

These don’t get as many hits or as many comments as some of the other topics on this list, but it’s a good feeling when, without getting too preachy, this blog acts as an advocate for a good cause. Greg did this on a very small scale in December offering advice and insight about de-cluttering, but the major groundbreaking post was Selena opening up on the blog and expressing her disdain for offensive speech and jokes towards people with mental handicaps.

The top comment was from Stef.

This is a really great post. Thank you for sharing something so personal, which is a good reminder for all of us to be cognizant of our words.

3. Oops!

On a lighter note, Greg had a few missteps including (potentially) offended I. Scotter Libby when he and others shouted terrorist and un-American in Scoot’s presence (the insults were meant for Selena, because she doesn’t love Tom Hanks). And Greg made further bad choices that resulted in scared the hell out of Selena, one time swiftly coming up behind her on the dark walk home from the Metro and again on the Honeymoon when he yelled “Boogedy, Boogedy Boogedy” to signal he was already in the room.

The top comment was from Jenny.

That’s hilarious! Boogedy… who says that?!

2. We decided who was hot

If this top seven things of the year was based off of sheer response, this one would be number one by a landslide. In January ’07, Selena generated a 64 person single-elimination bracket to determine who Greg considered was the hottest female celebrity (Greg’s finals has Kiera Knightly just lose out to Charlize Theron). The success of this quickly spawned a second hottest mail celebrity bracket (Selena gave the crown to Sawyer, only because she didn’t include Chris O’Donnell).

While the brackets were a hit (and hopefully will resurface updated in 2008), they did not come without criticism. The top comments about the brackets were from Duke:

Who the hell seeded these people?!?!? The matchups were completely messed up. And how did some of these people make the tournament (i.e Debra Messing) and Maria Sharapova not?

And Erich (in response to Greg’s finals)

I think they both pretty much suck.

1 We got married

Surely it is anti-climatic and rather obvious that the number one thing about 2007 according to gregandselena.com is that Greg and Selena got married. Whole pages of this site were devoted to the wedding preparations and pictures, and 40% of the posts this year were also wedding related, including describing the Hurricane concerns, inquiring for the best wedding tunes (Cha Cha Slide explicitly excluded), determining when to open wedding gifts, exploring the sand castle options, documenting the Vows, highlighting the ceremony and reception, and of course ruling out the need for Dolphin Escorts.

The top comment regarding the Dolphin Escorts was from Dancer in DC

I must say I’m a bit disappointed I won’t see this. Are you sure you won’t consider a scaled-down version? Field mice, perhaps?

And that, in a nutshell was 2007. Thank you for reading this far down this unending blog post the Greg and Selena blog in 2007, and here’s hoping you will be back for more insights, stories and discoveries from Selena and Greg in 2008.

Happy New Years!
