all in all, my parents' visit went well--we just did the usual shopping, eating, relaxing. they even came out to century ballroom to watch me salsa dance with my friends! it was great! and they enjoyed meeting pierre and the other new friends they'd never met.



valentine's day went well--pierre completely surprised me with a bouquet of roses...awwww....and made me dinner for a nice, laid-back evening at his place.



last weekend, matt planned a surprise birthday party for jigna...sri and I were in charge of getting her out of the apartment while the party set up occurred. We had her completely fooled until the moment that we arrived at the apartment and jigna saw betina and her boyfriend justin holding a bouquet of flowers inside her apartment lobby. ah well...she was still pleasantly surprised by all the people and all the effort that matt put into it.



heading to las vegas this weekend---yay!! god, i haven't been there in years. i used to go pretty often with my family. pierre, rabah and i are going there for coffee fest---more so for pierre....can't wait to get away for a few days and explore the hotels that i haven't seen yet: mandalay bay, paris, venetian, aladdin....



this morning, i got to meet and see dar williams perform for some amazon employees. it was great! her music often reminds me of college...as we would all sit around, studying or talking about whatever.
