What’s on your list for February?
I was totally tearing up at the trials this morning!
Also going to get serious this month about planning/narrowing down vacation locations at well.
In terms of tangible things, I’m really looking forward to our (immediate, close) work team lunch celebrating Lunar New Year AND Mardi Gras this coming Friday. (We’re also sneaking in a surprise baby “sprinkle” as well) We started celebrating Lunar New Year several years ago as part of a team member’s heritage and I look forward to immersing myself more deeply in this knowledge each year. (Coming year is Year of the Dragon!)
I was too! Gah, and at the mens’ race, surprisingly!!!!
Oh yay! Where you looking at for vacay?
That is so so fun! Will there be decorations? And themed food? I love that all three events are being smashed together.
You know it! We always pick an authentic Chinese restaurant and then order several dishes for the table/dim sum style. For the Mardi Gras part, I’m ordering King Cake donuts from a local bakery. And then for the shower, a coworker is making a diaper cake and we’re decorating it green/gold and with dragons not only for the colors/new year but its also the colors where we work (and where both she and her husband did their graduate degrees)!
We have several places on our list for vacay…Matt really wants to go somewhere in Asia. Current contenders: Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, Bali. Clearly can’t do all 4 but will pick 2. There are other European and South American destinations also in contention. Just need to do A LOT of research before making a decision!
Dragon is also our university mascot!
That all sounds so so fun! I love the attention paid to detail and how well the colors and themes tie in with your university! I wish I could go! LOL!
Ooo! How exciting! I have a friend living in Japan who has been to all of those places except Vietnam (as far as I know). I am excited to hear where you choose to go!
Your February sounds fabulous! I can’t wait to see your cute pink outfit! I know date night will be amazing if y’all go to El Famous!! And I’m excited to hear what you think about running the marathon in Denver and for your 2nd eat piercing!! Yay February!! 💖💖
Thank you! I just got the email that the bottoms shipped (I already have the matching bra!).
What’s on your February list?!
Oh yay! A lot to look forward to this month!
Aw, how fun that Lorena came to WWM with you! That’s awesome.
I have a lot to look forward to in February, like some Galentine’s celebrations and the Super Bowl!
Oh fun! I forgot about the Super Bowl! The Super Bowl food is always so fun.
Now that we’re halfway through February (SIGH), I hope it’s going well for you! Can’t wait to hear about the trip planning and the trip to Denver!
Thank you!
