where did the weekend go?

as most of you know kotr came to visit this past weekend. it went by entirely too fast.
while he was here, we did a whole lot of nothing and it was wonderful.

he got here on thursday soon after i got out of class. earlier that morning i had started taco soup in the crock-pot so luckily we had something warm to eat [and it was quick and easy...always a plus]. i also somehow found enough courage to attempt making some cornbread. it turned out great, but then again, how hard is it to mess up a box of jiffy cornbread mix? i had a meeting i had to be at for DM, so we didn't get to eat until almost 9:00. for those of you that don't know me, the hours between 9:00 and 11:00 on thursday nights are sacred. if there is a new episode of grey's anatomy or private practice don't call me because i won't answer, and if you text me i'll more than likely wait until the commercial break to text you back. whether kotr likes to admit it or not, i've got him hooked on grey's, so as soon as we noticed we were cutting it so close to 9:00 we had the bright idea of slightly rearranging the kitchen table and the tv. i'm glad kotr was there bc the tv in our apartment is pretty heavy. he got it turned around and we were able to have dinner at the kitchen table and watch a new episode of grey's all at the same time!

on friday we had leftover taco soup, store-bought vday cupcakes and rented public enemies. it was pretty good, but i feel asleep wayyyyy before it was over [imagine that].

saturday we slept in and then drove to greensboro to watch stretch play volleyball. we went to supper with my family at ham's and let's just say that i won't be going back there anytime soon. the hostess ruined the whole experience, she was rude, loud and obnoxious. the service wasn't that great either...oh well. we came back to chapel hill and called it a night.

sunday, aka vday, possibly one of my least favorite days of the year. i'm just not big on doing elaborate things on valentine's day. kotr and i decided to have dinner and see a movie. we started out the night by swinging by the movie theater to pre-buy tickets for dear john. we ended up going to carino's and got great service [like good enough to make up for the night before]. like dummies we bought tickets for the 9:40 movie and we were done eating supper at 7:00. since it was a sunday the mall was already closed, so there was basically no where to go. eventually we ended up ordering dessert to-go from the cheesecake factory. kotr ordered a piece of blueberry cheesecake and i ordered the red velvet cheesecake. both of them were wonderful. since there was no where to go, we still had nearly an hour to waste before the movie started. so we had a little photo shoot in the car.





and the sad thing is...those were the only pictures we took all night! i really wish we had gotten someone in the restaurant to take our picture. we both looked so nice and we even matched! ...i guess there's always next year! :-) and as for dear john....wayyyyyyyyyyy better than public enemies, but i'm sure kotr would disagree.

also, check out what kotr gave me me for valentine's day:
they used to be his grandma's. the picture doesn't really even do them justice. they're the most pretty pink pearls i've ever seen!

thank you kotr for a great valentine's day. i love you and look forward to many more!
