Catch Up

Hello again!  Sorry for that whole not-blogging-at-all-in-February-thing.  Time just seemed to get away from me!  I'll be back with more detailed posts and pictures, but here's what's been going on the past month...

We started the month with a little datenight in Augusta.  After dinner I told Gaines I felt like doing something random, and we ended up at Adventure Crossing playing five games of laser tag.  It was seriously the most fun datenight EVER! 

The next weekend we went back to Augusta for a fun dinner at Rhinehart's Oyster Bar with the Blackburns and McCarys. :)

I drove to Atlanta the next day to celebrate my college roomie's baby shower.  I absolutely loved seeing my college besties and can't wait to meet baby ME soon. 

We then celebrated Gaines' 28th birthday early at his parent's house with an amazing meal (as always!) and the cutest birthday cake.

We ended up celebrating Gaines' real birthday in the dark thanks to our power being knocked out by the craziest ice storm I've ever experienced. It was quite an adventure and literally made our town look like a war zone. On the bright side, we already had a scheduled three-day Winter Break, so with the extra two "snow" days and the weekend, I didn't have to go to work for an entire week. ;)

We celebrated Valentine's Day by cleaning up after "World War Tree," as Gaines called it and ended the day with sweet "note" outside and a yummy dinner inside.

My parents, brother, and sister came to town the following weekend, and we just had the BEST time! We had a fun dinner at our house with Gaines' parents on Friday night and then went to the Taste of Burke County with all of our friends on Saturday night.

And we ended the month with a little mini-vacation to Gaines' family's coast house in Valona. I just love that view! 

I'm sad February went so quickly, but am excited for the fun things (and hopefully warmer weather!) that March has to offer.  Be back soon with more pictures!
