We had a fabulous February in Tucson...hince the title! First, my grandmother turned 80 on Ground Hog's Day and then she and my mom came to Tucson two days later. As soon as I picked them up from the airport we went to eat at Gavi's (which is mom's favorite place here) for Nene's birthday celebration. After dinner we came home and I had a little birthday celebration waiting for us.
The next day Nene and I went to Mt. Lemmon and ate lunch at the Cookie Cabin.....probably my favorite place here! The drive was beautiful with all of the snow. I couldn't believe we were actually still in Tucson.
We also visited the Gem Show while Mom and Nene were here. Nene even bought herself a heart shapped diamond ring for 80th birthday. That sure was a blast! It was Superbowl Sunday while they were here so we watched the game at our house while Lee bounched around to a couple of parties.
The next weekend Lee and I celebrated Valentine's Day pretty much the whole weekend since he had a soccer game on Valentine's night. We actually went to dinner Friday night at CORE which is the restaurant at the brand new Ritz Carlton here in Tucson. Here are a few pictures from V-Day Weekend.
The last half of the month was filled with lots of meal plans for families with new babies in our Sunday School class. It's been a blast getting to meet all the new babies (5...I think!) born within 6 weeks of each other! Lee has also been playing soccer on Sunday nights, basketball at the RJ on Tuesday nights, and softball on Thursdays. We still have to go to all of the U of A Men's home Basketball games as well as my board mixers for my job. As usual, I have my monthly Pi Phi meetings at U of A, which I love the girls....they are so sweet! We also had Lee's co-worker, Tom, over for dinner for his birthday. Busy month for us!
Lee also managed to put on the best FCA "Breakfast with the Pros" during February at the beginning of the Accenture Match Play. We were able to get tickets to the match play this year and unfortunately it rained pretty much the whole time we were there.....bummer! We were wet and cold!
My Grandfather turned 80 in February too and we wish we could have been back in Texas to celebrate with our family. But that same weekend, one of Lee's friends from Notre Dame, Garrett, came into town to visit us. We've been really blessed with tons of visitors while out here in the middle of the desert!
Garrett and Lee went to a couple of basketball games, the match play ( I went too!), and we took him to a few of our favorite places to eat in Tucson.....El Charro - Downtown and Tohono Chul Tea Room. We had so much fun just being with old friends!
