A Very Big Weekend

We had a whirlwind weekend around here!

Friday night, Brad and I went to our favorite Italian restaurant to celebrate Valentine's Day:

The food is just so ridiculously good, and our waiter was charming. His wife also has celiac, so we felt so safe eating.

Saturday, we had Scholars' Day on campus for Issa:

She didn't have to interview since she's already been awarded the Teaching Fellows and Scholars' awards, but she did get to meet some of her future classmates, which was fun. She has some new contacts, and she is still really excited to come--even thought the dining hall really blew it and didn't label things. It gives us time to trouble-shoot that before it is her every day.

Saturday night, Issa and I went to the Journey concert:

Toto opened for them, and it was Journey's fiftieth anniversary tour:

We sang out hearts out, much to the amusement of the gentleman sitting next to us. It couldn't have been more different than our last concert, the Eras Tour, but it was still so good in its own charming way.

Sunday, we girls headed to the ballet:

We saw three Gershwin pieces, all of which were new and incredible. It was the first time we ever saw a ballet done in character heels! 

It was a busy weekend, but it was also so very fun!
