I realize I have been a HORRIBLE blogger recently. Weeks and weeks have passed with no updates. Unacceptable! So anyway, let me catch all of our readers up with what has been going on in our lives from mid-February until now.
We MOSTLY celebrated Valentine's Day on Saturday the 12th (2 days before). Everyone knows I am SUPER traditional and would always prefer to celebrate the actual day of the holiday, BUT it's just more romantic to do it on a day when you know you don't have to get up the next morning and go to work. SO, we started the festivities by going to Natty Green's (http://www.nattygreenes.com/) for lunch in downtown Greensboro. Some of you remember that this is not only the place that David and I went on our first date, but also the place he took me for lunch on Valentine's Day 2009, the day he proposed to me! So this is a special tradition. This particular Saturday, Carolina happened to be playing basketball while we were there, so this was a great venue to hang out at:
For our Valentine's dinner, we tried a place that was new to us - Imperial Koi Asian Bistro and Sushi Bar (http://www.imperialkoi.com/). It was REALLY good and has a really cool, urban atmosphere (on the 2nd story of a building, really cool yet low lighting, etc). We both really enjoyed our food!
On Monday, actual Valentine's Day, my sweet husband sent me some wonderful surprises at work - a rose plant (can't wait to plant it somewhere in our yard), a sweet note, a cute little stuffed dog, and a box of candy. What a nice treat!
On the 23rd, we celebrated my Dad's birthday. We had a great time and dinner, followed by cake and presents!
Not much else new in the past few weeks, really. We had a great weekend this weekend, though. Yesterday, we got up and put on our Carolina gear early to prepare for last night's Carolina-dook game (Carolina is now #1 in the ACC...and victory is so sweet!). We ran a few errands during the day and just generally relaxed. David took this random picture of me yesterday afternoon, sitting in the chair in our bedroom and surfing the net...
Just before dinner, we went to take a walk at Guilford College (my Mom's alma mater). It is a really pretty little campus and sometimes we like to go just to walk around. This time, they had a Patrick Dougherty "Stickworks" sculpture in the middle of campus (the same artist whose work we saw in Highlands months ago). Cool!
We also took David's picture in this funky sculpture on campus, although we aren't sure who the artist is...
After our walk, we headed to dinner (Saturdays are always our date night) and then watched Carolina beat up on those blue devils. GREAT day! :-)
