February

Wow I haven't been very good at "blogging." :)

February was our month of visitors. Our friend Patrick came from Chicago. The visit was during the week so I was lucky enough to spend all our dinners with him. We went to Roscoe's Chicken and Waffles. SO YUM. and all-you-can-eat Korean BBQ. Armand and Patrick got to see a taping of The Price is Right, which was amusing.

Then, our good friend from medical school/one year of peds residency Sam came to visit from up north. We went on a really great hike in Malibu, to see the area where M.A.S.H. was taped. We also gorged ourselves on great food- a wonderful Himalayan restaurant near our place and more Korean BBQ.

Let's not forget an important day in February is Valentines Day! I know a lot of people think Valentines Day is a made-up Hallmark holiday... and so what if it is? I still think it's important to have special days to appreciate our loved ones. My mom's birthday also happens to be on Valentines Day, so we all went over to the house and made dinner for the family. My parents then left for a two-week trip to Costa Rica. So Jealous.

As for Armand and me... I was actually on-call the weekend of Valentines Day and the rest of that week, so we are celebrating tonight! :) Which works out better anyway since we don't have to pay extra for the hype. We're going to dinner at Akasha in Culver City. I can't wait!

Even better, I'm actually starting another week of vacation today! It's a little close to our January vacation because Armand happens to not be working Monday-Friday. We're planning to take a roadtrip to the Grand Canyon, possibly stopping by Sedona and Las Vegas on the way back. FUN! :)
