February: The Abridged Version

Okay, so I knew this would happen. I knew that once I got into the semester and back to being busy with school, that the whole blog thing would probably be a fail. But since I only have like 3 followers, I guess its not that big of a deal. 


So since I didn't write a single post in the month of February, here is my shortened version of a very busy month. 


The first weekend of the month, my dad, stepmom and sister came to visit us. It was such an awesome weekend. We went to the movies, ate a TON of delicious food, went shopping and spent some great quality time together. Every year (except last year, due to an ice storm) since I have moved to Dallas, my parents have come to visit me for my birthday. And I love that they still do it even though I'm a "grown-up." 


Feb. 6 was my actual birthday. It was a Monday so it was a pretty lame day. Went to work and then class that night. Although, I will say, I did have some very sweet coworkers make me signs and sing to me while presenting me with a delicious cupcake. I also got to have Starbucks with the BFF in Arlington (and my drink was free so that was pretty sweet too). 


Feb. 10 marked 2 years of Omid and I being together. We felt no need to celebrate now that we have a wedding anniversary and all. It was always an inconvenient time anyways. 


I really wanted to play into the whole Valentine's Day thing this year and do something special for our first Valentine's as a married couple but it was pretty impossible being on a Tuesday and all. Omid had work that night and I had class. He got me the delicious box of chocolates I requested (and a sweet card), and I made him a little goody bag with a sappy card as well. And that was our Valentine's Day. 


We were pretty busy this month with various weekend commitments, but we finally had time for a date night this past weekend and celebrated three glorious months of marriage. 


In other news, I had my first big paper due on Monday, which basically marks the intense time of the semester. Pretty much from here on out its going to be intense. But I think I got a pretty good hold on it. Hopefully no meltdowns have to happen this semester. I'll keep you posted. 


This week also brought very EXCITING news. Omid's brother and wife are having their first baby, and on Monday they found out it is going to be a beautiful baby girl. We CANNOT wait to be an aunt and uncle! Amazing times ahead.


And I guess that's it. Goodbye February. Hello March and spring time weather. I've been waiting for you. Tomorrow marks the first day of The Fast and we are leaving for Houston. More to come in the near future (I hope).
