Catch up!

So, it has been a busy last couple of weeks and I need to blog before I leave for Utah this weekend, otherwise, I will have a lot more to catch up on when I get back.
Here's what we have been up to lately:
We have been going over to Orlando as often as we can because for Christmas we received Disney season passes. It has been a lot of fun to go to the parks and take our time exploring all the fun adventures there.
At the beginning of last week, my Dad and his wife Kristi came into town and stopped by to visit us.

It was their first time visiting our place, so we had a nice visit. We took them around to some of our favorite local restaurants and out to the beach.

We also spent time at the hot tub and the facilities playing pool and ping pong. After a few days they had to go to Orlando for Kristi's work conference, but we were glad they had a few days to drop in and spend some time with us.

The following weekend was Valentine's Day and Robert bought me some beautiful flowers. What a nice guy, right? He gave them to me after he came home from picking up my dress from the dry cleaners for our night out.

That night, we spent the evening at a local Marriott Hotel with the rest of the Stetson student body at the Mad Hatter's Barristers Ball.

It was a fun evening filled with a reception hour where we mingled with a lot of our friends. After that, we went into the main ballroom where our dinner was served.
During dinner we had a talent show. Below is a photo of a couple of our friends who got a band together. They were awesome and they should have won! They were hilarious. I think Ashley is singing Lady Gaga at this point.

After dinner we danced the rest of the night away. It was so much fun!


They also had a room set up for mini golf, so of course we played a few rounds.

Robert and some of his friends that he played softball with.

So, I forgot to take a picture of my hair before we left but this is what it looked like at the end of the night. I am shocked it stayed together this well. I did it myself, trust me it looked a lot better at the start of the night.

We had a wonderful Valentine's weekend together! I am glad we got to do something different.

As for a follow up to my last post, we did get the piano moved in without any complications. Thanks to a bunch of our friends, we were able to do it. Here is the actual piano in our place. I am still so happy that I have a piano. Hopefully, the neighbors won't complain...
