best valentines to date

This feb. 14th was a lovely one.
The evening started off right with a girls night.
Food, decorations, and exchanging funny boy stories...








...gosh I love these girls!

Then the night ended right when I got to spend the last minutes of valentine's day with my valentine!
I greeted him at the airport with an over-sized homemade valentine and he had a sweet little gift in hand as well.
(unfortunately my camera decided to stop working at this point :[)

I have always loved this holiday.
This year it couldn't have been spent any better

Somewhere I have never been but always wanted to go.
And a few nights ago it became official!

Mystery

It was a normal Monday afternoon.
I was lounging in my basement when I received a call from a friend.
We started chatting then I realized my phone battery was dangerously low.
I hurried upstairs to fetch my charger and return back to the coziness of my basement.
I plugged in my phone as we chatted away.
I was getting a little stir crazy while just sitting and talking on the phone (I am a pacer) so when I felt my phone had charged enough to last I unplugged the charger from the wall while the other end was still secure in my phone.
I began pacing while chatting only focusing on our conversation.
The conversation comes to a close and I decide I want to go put my charger back in my room so I don't lose it.
Well, much to my surprise, the charger was somehow already lost!
No longer was it nestled in the butt of my phone (where I knew it had been at one point because I distinctly remembered twirling it while talking).
I go check the wall socket, not there.
Walk the route of my pacing pattern, no where to be found.
Check in the couch cushions, under the table, basically flip my basement upside down.
No sign of the charger.
Two days later and it has yet to turn up.
I may need to call in Sherlock Holmes for this one.

a weekend back east




I was lucky enough to have another lovely visit out to Winston-Salem, North Carolina. It is always good to spend time with Danny and become better acquainted with his new home. We had a great time! My 3 1/2-day trip included:
  • Movie night where we watched The Last of the Mohicans.
  • Delicious home cooked meals almost every night: Lasagna, lemon chicken, and tacos
  • Warm weather most of the time
  • Because of this warm weather, some time was spent outside tossing a football and playing/watching (he played, I watched) an ultimate frisbee game
  • Read a whole book. I did so while he studied, had class, or was reading his book next to me
  • Had a fun, fancy date night and went to the Opera
  • Played Mario Kart
  • Went to breakfast with some of the med school friends
  • Watched Seinfeld
  • Went to the Harris Teeter grocery store daily
  • Danny and his roommate redecorated their living room with some newly purchased furniture and I steamed a couch
  • Played games on sporcle
  • Had an unfortunate flight time change causing me to have to leave a few hours earlier than initially planned
  • Was one of two passengers on my first flight home resulting in being upgraded to first class
  • Arrived home just in time for the super bowl

Told ya we had a great time!
