So....what's been going on?

Well, it's hard to believe that February has come and gone ... but it has! And we sure have been busy! February highlights include:

Superbowl party at Bracken's - Paul debuted his "healthy" jalapeno poppers and we ate WAY too much food (of course) Being from the south now we had to cheer on the Saints and we were happy to see them pull off a win! Go Louisianna!


Wine Tasting in Grapevine-We have been living in Dallas for almost 3 years and have never been over to the vineyards in Grapevine -- apparently neither have most of our friends! So, one Saturday in February we all made a day of it! We went to a few vineyards and hung out downtown. One place downtown was very techy -- you bought a card with a dollar amount and put your card in the slot, selected what wine, amount (2oz taste, 4oz taste or half glass) and then it dispensed it for you! Fancy!



Comedy Improv in Addison to see Joe Rogan - For our friend's birthday we decided to celebrate by going to see improv in Addison. Again, I haven't been over there since we've lived there so it was a new experience for Paul and me! Joe Rogan was hilarious -- and so was his opener! What a great night out! We finished the evening at Los Cabos for margaritas ...


UFC fight nights with friends - Since we've moved to Dallas we've met a lot of friends that are into "fight nights" ... which basically means someone hosts a party at their home where the guys watch the pay-per-view fights and the gals drink wine in the kitchen! It's becoming a little tradition every few weeks and something I actually look forward to! Of course, not the fights -- but the good friendships that develop over wine and snacks ;-)


Junior League's Blingo Bingo luncheon - A few Saturdays ago, the Junior League hosted its first annual "Blingo Bingo" luncheon. It was a hoot! All of us ladies dressed in our Sunday best, wore our "bling" and played bingo! All the benefits went to support our community projects in the league...what a great cause!

Jessica's Baby Shower- A few weekends ago Jessica had her baby shower! She received so many beautiful things for baby A.J. ;-) We can't wait till March 23ish when we can meet the little guy!



Valentines Day-

Paul and I celebrated Valentines day at Cantina Laredo (our same v-day spot as last year) and went to see the movie "Valentines Day" -- it was a lovely evening. However, I was most excited about my present. Never did I think I would be so excited over a techy watch... BUT, I was thrilled to receive the GARMIN 405 running watch. It tracks distance, speed, stride, heart rate, calories, EVERYTHING! So much better than a Coach bag! (Did I just write that????)





Now, onto March!!
