Tricky title!! I don't have any more "things" to write about. Just a quick update on our February. Justin had a birthday and things have been crazy so I didn't plan anything big. And despite all my efforts, Justin is still not a huge birthday person and never wants a big party anyway. We've been talking about learning how to play racquetball so I bought Justin a couple racquets. And one of them came with some cool eyewear :) The best part was probably the wrapping. How awesome is this bag!!
You may have noticed the name on the card. It's a joke from one of my favorite Justin stories. Back in college (aren't we still there?) Justin used to have movie marathons with a group of friends. This usually involved a day (or entire weekend) of watching the Lord of the Rings trilogy, extended edition, or all 6 Star Wars. What a nerd! Hahaha! I totally would have gone :) After one of their LOTR parties, Justin thought it would be cool to have a name like the characters in the movie and came up with "Justin, son of Bustin." This makes me laugh every time! (If you recall, Justin really likes the LOTR trilogy) Also, I bought the bag at Smith's during a grocery shopping trip and for some reason there were 3 guys at the checkout stand. All 3 commented on the bag and when I explained it was actually for my husband and not a 6 year old nephew they thought I was the coolest wife ever :) This evolved into a conversation on how "edgy" the new Batman movies have been to which I replied that the comics actually were pretty dark, not campy like all the previous movies and the TV show. Why do I know this?! I've honestly never read a comic. That either made me look even cooler or way nerdy.
Justin's birthday landed on President's Day this year which is one of those holidays that means the University is closed but we sometimes choose to still go in to work. We opted for skiing this year :) It was a little cold so I really bundled up. Justin laughs at me when I'm "all bundly."
Awesome views on the backside of the mountain. And Justin's head isn't really that big, he's wearing a helmet under his hood.
I "treated" Justin to dinner at Fleming's Steakhouse that night. Thank goodness we had a gift card because after tip it was still over $100!! I think that's the most we've ever spent on a meal but it was so worth it!!! I would highly recommend eating there at least once in your life (most likely for a special occasion). And you absolutely have to get the chocolate lava cake. They really should name it something else because that's a pretty common dessert but no other cake holds a candle to that one. The waiter said the chefs use some kind of black magic that he can't do to make it and I believe him. I'm drooling just remembering it.
