It's Garrick's 27
th Birthday today & we had a nice, relaxing day. Garrick had classes from about 11:30 to 4:00 today, but I was still able to make him a big breakfast & later that evening we went out to dinner. We went to a Louisiana style restaurant called Harry's. We ordered about 6 different dishes & all shared (Shrimp Scampi, Louisiana Pork Tenderloin, Jambalaya,
Crawfish Etouffee, Shrimp Creole, Shrimp & Scallop
Orleans & for appetizers, Calamari &
Crabmeat & Eggplant Napoleon). Garrick even had room for a slice of Key Lime Pie - we're stuffed!! And it was delicious!
Garrick's mom,
LoVida drove up from West Palm Beach & has been here to help out with Aubree and celebrate with Garrick. She'll be staying until late this weekend,
Yay!!! It's a nice break for me. Last night Garrick & I were able to go over to some friends apartment in the building next to us and played drinking games...
Hmmmm, drinking games drinking water doesn't quite work. Believe it or not, I was one of the worst ones playing, we played Kings (never played before... this college life is ALL new to me!).
This life is definitely different than the one we're used to. Everyone has classes all week and drink all night. Tonight, while walking home from dinner we saw 4 people dressed in Toga gear heading to a party. Every night there is a party! We were invited to one tonight that had a keg & beer pong - the people having the party are Med. students, Law students & Business students and all have class tomorrow at 7am. The next two years are going to be crazy, good thing we have a couple of kids (almost) to keep us grounded, it would be so tough for me to live that life ALL the time! :)
Here are some pictures of our day:

The apartments we WANTED to live in - they are hard to get, not much availability
