My parents came to visit for the weekend and we all had a lot of fun. Friday my dad made a big yummy dinner (almost too big for my little apartment!) of pork loin, mashed potatoes, and corn. We watched some of the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, and I was truly fascinated by it. Saturday my parents mostly just hung out and did some shopping, and then Jake came over and we all went to have our day-early Valentine's dinner at St. Clair Winery & Bistro. I've known about it since I started school here but neither Jake nor I had tried it yet. It was a really nice place, with reasonable prices and delicious wine and food! Sunday we did a little more shopping and putzing around town. My mom and I went to see the movie Valentine's Day in the evening, which was so good! It was really funny, and I honestly don't think it was that much of a chick flick. Anyone could probably enjoy it. Valentine's Day is definitely not my favorite holiday. I'm not really anti-V-day but if the holiday was banned I wouldn't be too upset. I even have a boyfriend and I don't like it too much. However, I still wanted to give Jake something so I found some amazing-smelling men's body wash from Bath and Body Works, and added a card and Bottle Caps (his favorite candy). He gave me a card, a balloon, and a photo album. It's kind of between a regular photo album and a scrap book...hard to explain. It's really pretty and I guess I'll have to print some more pictures sometime :)
I can't believe it's already the middle of February. February is the best month for Las Cruces, in my opinion. It's not too hot and not too cold...just starting to hint at spring. October is pretty nice too, but the summers are pretty brutal and the winters can be really cold, but normally dry (although this year there were a few snowfalls...quite an excitement for this desert city!).I'm dreading March because that's when the nasty winds pick up, then April brings allergies and the temperatures rise.
Whoa, just saw the time and realized I have to leave for class soon, so I'm cutting out!
