Fun Weekend With Friends

Typically, I like to just stay home and work on various projects around the house during the weekend. But, come on folks, there is only so much of that one can do! This weekend, was full of fun and friends. It is always healthy to get out and do things with those that you love the most. I feel very privileged to not only have a great family but great friends too. In the work that I do, I know that not everyone has that which makes me cherish it even more.

Every month during the late spring through early fall Fort Worth hosts an even called Friday on the Green. I started going with a good friend of mine a few years back. Now that Mr. Lucas is out of school and not working at the Bucks anymore, he was able to go this time! What is First Friday? Well, it consists of some great local bands that get together and put on a free concert. It it like a mini music festival that is family friendly. There are always 3 bands that play starting at 7p and ending about 10p.We have a few friends in a few of the local bands and tonight, The Apache 5 were playing. There are also food trucks too so all you need is a blanket...the food, wine/beer, and music are ready and available. 

Saturday, a few of us girls got together for sushi and fun! We went to Piranha's which is a local favorite. The sushi is melt in your mouth and the environment is so festive. So, Martini's and Sushi all around! 

Then, off to Pete's Piano Bar we went. I have never been before but it was tons of fun. We even got a table right up front! The entertainment was great...and talented! 

Cheers! 

Happy Anniversary

This past Tuesday, on the 26th, was our 8 year anniversary. I find it so hard to believe that it has been 8 years. The time really does soar by. What was I doing 8 years ago? My goodness, I was so young, just a mere 20 years old. I was still in school at UNT studying physical therapy...since I am now a social worker...that really was a long time ago! I knew Jeff for a few weeks before we decided to make it official. He came into Coffee Haus where I worked with his cousin and I like to say that he sought me out. Well, he did really :-). He got my number and pursued me while I played hard to get. He won't admit that though, hehehe.

Well anyhoo, on Tuesday our anniversary started off with Jeff getting me the most beautiful flower arrangement...and they were not roses, good job Jeff! Don't get me wrong I love roses but they are not my favorite flower. My absolute favorite flowers are gerber daisy's...and well...I love comos too. The arrangement he got me consisted of lily's and daisy's (I actually had a hamster named Daisy when I was 4 but now that I think of it, I probably named her after Daisy Duke). The vase the flowers came in is really pretty. He also got a bottle of Pinot Noir and a nice card.

After I got off work we had a few glasses of wine and headed to Piranha's Killer Sushi. It was wonderful. I went there for the first time with friends this past Saturday, you can read about it here if you fancy. I am not a big sushi eater but this stuff was fantastic! Jeff loves sushi so we made reservations for Tuesday night.

I ordered the veggie roll and Jeff order the crab and eel rolls. Delicious!

I also had a naughty asian martini and helped Jeff finish off his saki. We had banana spring rolls with red bean and green tea ice cream for dessert which was to die for. I would have taken a picture of it but Jeff was getting really embarrassed that I was taking pictures.

I was, however, lucky enough to get this picture of us...but you can see the embarrassment on his face, hehehe. The people next to us brought their children and the kids kept breaking stuff, at least we were not being that embarrassing!

All in all, it was a really fun night and I want to go back and have more sushi. Is it possible to be addicted to it? Although, for me I think it is largely due to the atmosphere there. I have had sushi at other places and have not liked it very much. This place feels like you are sitting in Manhattan or San Francisco, not little ol' Fort Worth Texas! Hmmm...I wonder what we will do next year.

Cheers!
