The whirlwind that was February....

I am the most delinquent blogger on the planet, and for that I apologize (to you, whoever you are, who actually reads my blog!) Life in February has been crazy and busy, but full of joy and fun. Here's a little summary of the "love month".....

The first week passed without much to write home about (although, as is marked on the calendar, we changed the Brita water filter on the 1st of the month!)

The first weekend was spent eating with friends. First we had dinner with Patrick and Sally, our dear soon-to-be newlyweds, at Olive Garden with our Christmas gift cards, and the next night we shared homemade pizza with Lauren and Anna at our house. This was a good time!

That night we left home to go and babysit/dogsit/housesit for my boss and 4 of her 5 foster children until the following Sunday. (Yes, folks....7 full days with a 9 year old, 8 year old, 1 year old, and 6 month old.) We had a BLAST! The older girls were out of school for three of the five school days because of snow, so we got to know them pretty well. I'll have to upload some pictures of the little ones too (the one picture that we have of the older girls is stuck on my camera because it didnt get saved on the memory card....boo!) Lydia (the 1 year old) was a riot of course and is in a really funny stage. Kye (the baby) stole our hearts with his precious little smiles and funny mad faces. What a wonderful week!

We got home on Valentine's Day evening. The following day (the 15th) was our 6 month anniversary! Because of another snow day (off of work!), we were able to go to dinner at Rafferty's, then come home and sample some of our frozen wedding cake. Don't worry, we saved most of it for the one year mark since it was still pretty good! ;) It was nice to spend that time together because I barely saw Daniel for the rest of the week....he worked like a crazy man!

We had more people over that weekend (Daniel's new friend Grant, my dear Leah, and sweet Sarah and Regina!) I also went to Rachel's baby shower....it's hard to believe that Arianna will be here in less than 2 months! I spent more quality time with friends at the beginning of last week (on the phone with Maria and Alex on Monday and Haley and Sarah came over on Tuesday!) and had a nice lunch with the ladies from Pleasant Plains. On Friday, I went to breakfast at Waffle House with some other girls (after driving to the wrong Waffle House, waiting there for 20 minutes, and realizing I was in the wrong place, that is) and it was lovely :)

This weekend we went to Dickson and Nashville for Michael and Ashton's wedding! It was a blast and we are so excited for this new marriage in Christ. In Dickson, we went hiking with Daniel's parents, played several games, and watched a great movie (Mr. Smith goes to Washington....I really recommend it!) Sunday afternoon, after church at Grace, we had lunch with the Lankfords.

Phew. Welcome, March! I hope that you don't fly by like February did!
