March Happenings

The month of March has flown by for us.  We've been working during the week with lots of evening activities just holding on for these blessed weekends.

The first weekend in March we had planned to get away from Tampa...mainly Isaac's office so that he couldn't work on that Saturday.  We got on priceline and got a great rate at the Orlando Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress.  We left Friday afternoon and got to the resort in time to lounge by the pool before heading out for dinner.

We ate dinner that night at Johnnie's Hideaway.  We would highly recommend this restaurant if you enjoy seafood!

After dinner, we headed over to Downtown Disney for Cirque Du Soleil.  We enjoyed seeing the show again, and we were excited to see a couple of new acts.  One of the many nice perks to living in Florida is the FL resident discounts on shows and theme parks!


The next day we laid at the pool for 8 hours...yes, 8 glorious hours of doing nothing except read, relax, and play one round of chip and putt.  After the sun had set, we showered up and ate at the resort's seafood restaurant Hemingway's...also highly recommended by Treesh Cuisine Critics.



Sunday morning we were sad to leave the resort, but excited to go to Gainesville for the UK vs. UF game.  We met up with Donna and Gabe for brunch before the game.



Matt and his dad joined us at the game to cheer the Cats on to another victory!



March 9th, we celebrated Isaac's 31st birthday.  Sadly, this is the only picture I have to share.  We had a few friends over for dinner that night, and I guess I was too tired to take any pictures of the party.  Sorry, babe.  But, thanks Mom for the edible arrangement!  Isaac's mom had sent a lovely arrangement to the office the day before, but my camera wasn't working-sorry, Jan!




I also managed to drag Isaac to another cooking class this month.  We learned how to make pasta from scratch...and that's the last time we'll be doing that...Isaac doesn't enjoy working that hard for his food.





March 23rd, we celebrated my 29th birthday...actually, I mourned over my last year of my twenties.  Isaac did cheer me up with this gorgeous flower arrangement...


And took me to dinner at the Beachhouse Restaurant on Anna Maria Island on Bradenton Beach.  I told him that I wanted to have dinner on the beach at a place with great appetizers...he delivered!...the sunset was so pretty too.

We attended Darren and Ashley Norwood's wedding the following evening.  Ashley and I have worked together for the past couple of years.


Isn't she a beautiful bride?  It was alot of fun to cut loose and get out on the dance floor with my coworkers!




To wrap up the month of March, my friend and sorority sister Stacey and I attended our first Tampa Bay Chi Omega Alumnae event this morning.  We joined other Chi Omegas from the area at the Tampa Bay Museum of Art for the Eleusian Brunch.


The cake was precious.  We had a good time connecting with other Chi Omegas and making new friends.  I was the only Lambda Alpha there...most of the women there are graduates of FL schools, but still so kind and welcoming.  Looking forward to the next event.


That wraps up March!  We made it to #8 on the unofficial Gladney waiting list for infant boys/siblings in our age category!
