{february started off with a bang – our friend ashley [not the ashley-and-guido ashley, but our other friend ashley] had her bachelorette party that first weekend. i had never actually been to a bachelorette party, and i think this one was more wild than most in terms of the, uh… activities [hehe!], but we had a blast! also, why my face looks beet red in this picture, i have no idea. but congratulations to the newlyweds, ashley and nick!}
{i just had to throw these in there… ashley [guido’s ashley], noelle, and i all spent the night at angelica’s apartment the night of the bachelorette party, and noelle brought puppy. gosh, i love her.}
{we got a snow day in february! i did go in to work though. but still fun.}
{i think i need a snuggie that says, “queen of cozy”} ;)
{how did my family get the best pets ever?? we love them to pieces.}
{morning tea in my cute new valentine cup, which didn’t even make it through the month before i broke it. :( oh well. and wine class is just too awesome, guys. i really am learning a lot too.}
{i finally got to try mexican sugar with noelle! she had told me how good it is – it’s owned by the same people who own whiskey cake [which i posted about here] – and it didn’t disappoint. noelle, you can introduce me to a new restaurant any day!}
{sangria garnished with starfruit}
{guac + carnitas tacos. yum.}
{mom gave me this beaded pillow case from santa fe for valentine’s day. isn’t it gorgeous?}
{this was a proud mama moment for me. one of the babies bloomed in february! i have been known to kill cacti before – embarrassingly enough – but these little guys are thriving!}
{at one point, i counted ten buds on this baby! apparently i wasn’t the only one happy to see some sunshine this month!}
{lucky man, always making me laugh. in the left picture, something about his soft, fluffy body makes me think of a little lamb, and on the right, he’s the scruffy king of nap hair!}
{that embarrassing moment when you get caught taking kissy face selfies at work. i was just snapchatting them to my bffs, okay? so i’m kidding – i haven’t actually been caught yet [that i’m aware of!], but i feel like it’s only a matter of time…}
{king cake at work + chili’s enchilada and tostada to go}
{the perks of going to culinary school downtown – photo opps everywhere}
{my co-worker got this from her boyfriend when she got a promotion. so sweet! and tasty…}
{betty the trolley + this adorable little moped that i see every day in my garage}
{that day when my blowdryer died. right after i had taken a shower, and right before work. of course.}
{chewing bones like there’s no tomorrow}
{i’m in love with this mug that angela gave me for my birthday. and on february 27th, i joined the freedom fighters in drawing a red “x” on my hand to shine a light on slavery for the end it movement. join the fight.}
{i know it seems weird to be posting some drops of dew on some plants. but aren’t they pretty? i couldn’t resist…}
{sometimes my complex looks like a dollhouse to me. it’s quaint and homey and i feel very lucky to live here. and sometimes the hot tub is just what the doctor ordered after an insane day at work and before a long night of studying ON A FRIDAY. i’m pretty sure i deserved it.} ;)
{…and on fridays when you don’t have to study, celebrate!}
