Saturday night we had Stephen's assistant Pierre-Francois and his wife Rosana over for dinner. They had never had, nor heard of, marinated steaks. I decided to fix some southern specialties (steak, mashed potatoes, bacon-wrapped green beans, and chocolate mousse) for them, and we had a nice night with great conversation. Gracie hated it because we locked her up for dinner, check out her blog to see thoughts!
We've been pretty relaxed over here in Belgium since the Dotson's left. Nothing really new to share, it's been pretty hum-drum. But, no news is always good news, right? I could be going crazy or we could have been hit by another drunk driver...see??? We made it through Stephen's birthday without having to deal with an accident outside, so we're thankful! Speaking of Stephen's birthday, being the amazing wife that I am, I decided to plan a golfing adventure for 'ole Stephen. He loved it, except for the extreme cold and wind the better part of the morning. We (really just I) hacked it up and enjoyed a nice round together. Happy 26th Esteban! (the picture of me is the ONLY ball I hit in the fairway from the tee box)
This weekend we look forward to having a nice dinner at Ava's house (another coworker from PFSweb)...she's cooking a curry dinner for us and some other couples! It will be nice to meet with new people, and get loud and crazy with Ava! She's great!
Now, I'm just looking forward to Spring. I took some pictures of the tulips we bought for our apt. They look so inviting and pretty...if only they could survive outside :) Here's to hoping for Spring...say a little prayer for us!!
Wow it looks like you guys are loving the european life! Did you just take Gracie over there? Gus..is HUGE. I can't believe that him and your other dog are siblings. I need to get your email address, I was thinking about you the other day. How is everything? I won't write you a book today...I will leave that for an email!
ReplyDeleteHey Katie, just wondering if you and Stephen are up for a Cinco de Mayo party hosted by a displaced Texan in Brussels! There will be plenty of margaritas, fajitas, tacos, tequila, etc. Shoot me an email at clane_tx@yahoo.com and I'll fill you in on all the details. We are cheating a little and having the party on May 4th, since it's a Sunday. Thought it might be fun to meet other Texans in Belgium.
ReplyDeleteCheers,
Cindy
