So, best weekend ever, I woke up on Saturday morning, walked outside for breakfast (in yoga pants and ballet flats, no less!), and it was SNOWING! There was just something so beautiful and fresh and clean about the snow, a chance for cleansing and a new start.
We're starting to get to know the neighborhood a little better. Friday night we went and grabbed Chinese across the street and then a few of us headed up to American University. The more schools I visit and see their social life (or lack of - ha!), the more and more I like being at Alabama.
Saturday was, of course, our snow day. Brittany, who's from Arizona, and I convinced my Pittsburgh roommate to go play in the snow with us. By the time we got to the Capitol, Brittany and I were absolutely freezing and whining about getting frostbite. Julie was a trooper and ran errands, but we went home. It actually snowed again last night, so I woke up to more beautiful-ness this morning. My office runs on the Federal government's schedule, but seeing as this isn't Charlotte, we were still open today.
Sunday and Monday we stayed in and "studied", aka watched the Grammy's. I think I actually worked out both days though, so that's an accomplishment.
At work I'm mainly focusing on this upcoming event. I finalized the guest lists this week and I got to do some mockups for a dinner invitation. My favorite part was looking at resorts for a big conference that's coming up in a few years. They're in the preliminary stage, which basically means I get to look at pictures of pretty hotels.
I really love this city, being around all the people, the train, the hustle, all of it. My roommates and I spend almost every night just sitting the in kitchen, listening to music and doing homework and talking. I miss Tuscaloosa, but it's amazing how quickly we've formed a family up here.
