Catch Up

Last month was pretty dang crazy for us! I was sick constantly and Eric caught it for a short period. We also had midterms, school, work, and baby blessings to go to. Needless to say, I'm glad it's March.

The best thing about February was the Valentine's date Eric took me on. We were going cheap this year, but Eric translated that into just cheap for presents, so for dinner we went to Chef's Table. It was SOOOOO delicious. I wanted to go back every day for the rest of the month. I learned in a Services class that Chef's Table has a policy that the waiters must fold your napkin if you leave the table for any reason. Someone actually got fired for forgetting to fold a napkin one time. So knowing me and Eric, our eyes were focused on the waiter when we saw a guy at the table next to us stand up and go to the bathroom. Lo and behold, the waiter went right to the table and folded the napkin. I encourage everyone to watch for it whenever you go to Chef's Table. What great service!!

After dinner we went to our favorite date spot: Color Me Mine! I painted a napkin holder to match our vase and Eric painted a chips and salsa bowl with a Mario Brothers theme. Yes we are obsessed with that game and have already saved the princess and completed the star coin world.

And of course since it was Valentine's Day, Eric was a great husband and got me flowers. I especially liked how they looked a week later. It wasn't just a bouquet anymore, it was a full plant!

The next big event was my birthday. I went to class, went to the doctors, did hours of laundry, ordered my graduation cap and gown, and then went on a date with Eric. Big day huh?

First Eric took me to Pastorero. Now I don't know if 8 people actually look at my blog, but I learned that for every bad experience you have you will tell an average of 8 people. So here ya go: the food made me sick on my birthday. And then afterwards Eric said, "Didn't it make you sick last time we went too?" And I realized that it did. So now I vow never to eat there again. I'm assuming Eric never gets sick there because he's had far worse in Mexico, but what do I know?

After dinner we went to a play at BYU. Eric and I were so excited to go all week because the plays are usually pretty awesome. Usually. This was one major exception. It was slow and boring and it was a struggle to stay the whole time.

My birthday was redeemed when we got home and turned on some HGTV. My stomach hurt too much to eat my birthday cupcake (compliments of Taylor Peterson!) but it was very tasty the next day.

Oh yeah, Eric bought me some Taylor Swift guitar books because he supports my music career :) Too bad I suck so much that I can't play them.

Thanks to everyone for the birthday gifts and wishes. And Dad, I'm still waiting for my card in the mail!!
