The last few weeks

Been a busy few weeks! I went to Oregon to visit my parents from February 15th-20th. That was fun- actually, relaxing is a better word for it. I slept a lot, and didn't do a whole lot else. We went in to Portland once to go to Powell's book store, and met up with my friend Sarah. And my mom and I went into Tillamook one day to the cheese factory. And we went to Seaside once to see the movie "Slumdog Millionaire." Unfortunately, I forgot to bring the camera, so no pics to post from that trip : (

After we came back it was Mike's b-day, and some Mardi Gras celebrations! I bought Mike some tulips for his b-day and planted them by our mailbox.


We went out a few times with some friends that week, for Mardi Gras and such- I lucked out and my scheduled day off from work that week was Fat Tuesday, so we went to the parades that day and had lots of fun. 


Here is a picture we took at a friends house before after one of the parades. It's of me and my "roomies": Me, Mike, Josh, Dan, and Doug. This is who officially lives at our house. Of course, we also have two couches that are often slept on, currently by our friends Dustin and Marco. But this picture shows the official crew that lives at 122 Downing.

Mike went to a Flogging Molly concert last night. I am a little jealous- I was invited to go, but can't afford to miss any more work right now, and the concert started at 7 last night (I get off work at 9:15). He is still sleeping this morning, the concert was in New Orleans, so he didn't get home until about 4 AM . I think I am about to get off the computer and go make some breakfast though, I am hungry!

Oh, I love your tulips! And your house! I don't think I've told you congrats on that yet! You must be so happy there. We still miss you terribly and think of you often.
