This past weekend Chris's parents came to visit! It was wonderful seeing a familiar face. They came in on Thursday afternoon. That night we went out to Volta to grab some Margaritas and then headed over to The Lyric to see Bela Fleck and the Africa Project. The show was amazing! Bela Fleck went on a journey to Africa to discover the roots of the Banjo. While there he grabbed some musicians from Mali, South Africa, and Tanzania to join him on a tour in the United States. The show consisted of traditional bluegrass fused with African beats.
On Friday Chris's parents and I hung around the apartment until Chris returned from school. Afterward we all grabbed some Mexican lunch and did a little shopping. After I got off work I made eggplant parmesan prior to us gathering around the TV to watch WVU lose to Pitt in triple overtime. No good. Lindsey, Mike, and Eu Gene all stopped by for some food (especially King Cake!), drinks, and to meet Chris's parents. While the game was not too good, the company sure made up for it.
Saturday was filled with some shopping, Lamar Park dog walking, and a trip around the square. For dinner Nancy and Alan treated us to a fabulous early Valentine's dinner at City Grocery. The food was phenomenal!
On Sunday after attempting to eat brunch at Big Bad Breakfast we all gathered at The Bottle Tree Bakery where Alan ate the largest most delicious looking cinnamon roll I think any of us have ever seen. Sadly after completing a few tasks around the apartment Nancy and Alan had to take off. I am so glad they were able to come visit and can't thank them enough for all they did for us over the weekend! Thank you!
Chris and I had a very low key romantic Valentine's Day evening at our apartment. We ate eggplant parmesan leftovers, drank a bottle of champagne, and exchanged gifts. Chris got me tickets to see the RFK Project at the University's cultural center on Friday. I gave Chris a book about the Mississippi blues which included a DVD and CD. After gifts we ate some ice cream while watching the Olympics!
Other news includes the fact that I official have a full time job with the University of Mississippi in the Office of Student Athlete Academic Support as an Academic Intern! I am extremely thrilled. Certainly not my dream job but it will be great for now. In the words of my Aunt, "One state job often leads to another". I love the people I work with, which makes a world of a difference.
