Well quite a bit happened in February. Work kept chugging along, same as always, except that our night staff assistant (and my roomie and friend) left for another job. So, we've been covering the night shift for the past month. Luckily, we hired two new GAs that started this week, so no more nights for us! But, my night was Thursday night, my normal blogging night. So that's my main excuse. :)
Lots of social activities happened in February. Lyndsee, Derek, and the kids came down for a firefighter test, so we got to go out to dinner with them that night. It was good to see some family! There was the Super Bowl, always a good time, and it was actually a good game! We split the time between the girls night gals at Lizzie's and bible study group at the Rhodes abode. The next weekend was full of good times--art walk in Norman, the one and only PBR, and Valentine's Day. I even got a three-day weekend by taking a comp day President's Day. Marcus and I watched the Daytona 500 at his mom's and then came to my place where I made pistachio-crusted pork chops. They were pretty good, but I've got to learn that he eats more than I do. :) The next day was relaxing. I stuck around the apt. and did a little cleaning and then went out for dinner at Pearl's in the city. It was delicious! Here's a pic or two from the PBR and my pretty Valentine's flowers.
The next weekend I went to the OU/KSU men's basketball game, which was a great game, then out to dinner with the girls. Of course, throughout the entire week I was glued to the TV watching the Olympics! It just sucked me in, I couldn't help it! It was so exciting cheering for the USA and for the underdogs and just watching all the sports that you only see once every four years or so. :) The Olympics were the highlight of the last weekend in February. Marcus and I spent time together watching them and hanging out, then we got together at Jordan's house Sunday with a couple other friends to watch the Canada vs. USA hockey game. What an awesome game! I'm not that into hockey, but it was flat-out a great game.
So that's pretty much life for the past month. I'm doing decent on some of my resolutions, but not all of them. I baked several new things this month, including a King's Cake for Mardi Gras and a milk chocolate cheesecake, which was quite the hit at the office. :) Playing piano has not been so good, though. I need something to make me practice. I work much better with a purpose. But, I should have my Thursday night back now, so that will give me time to do that. I've been working out at least twice a week, which is great. When I worked Thursday nights I got to go to zumba during the afternoon, which was lots of fun. I love znmba! And tone it up has been awesome, a great work out. It's one of those classes where you hate it and love it all at once.
So that's life in a very large nutshell. Lots of fun things to do in March as well, but hopefully it won't take this long to update. And I almost forgot one of the most exciting things--my little sister is getting married! So excited for Karen and Ryan! I get to go home in a couple weeks to go wedding dress shopping. I'm getting excited! :)
