Today I got to lay around, work on a few things around the house, and be lazy. I love that I get every other Friday off! Yesterday was a pretty fun day so I thought that I'd write a recap. Work had a huge Asian Festival. Each country had their own booth with a little sampling of food at each. The food was amazing! After going from booth to booth I was stuffed. I had Vietnamese, Thai, Korean, and Indian. There were also great performances with both musicians and dancers! There were tons of people there so I kept just getting in line not initially knowing which country I was heading toward. One of the lines I got in happened to be one for henna tattoos and I hadn't even realized it! I've always wanted to get a henna tattoo so I was really excited! Henna tattoos are an Indian tradition and they last about 2 weeks. They're very common during weddings and other celebrations. I think they're beautiful! Of course for the rest of the day everyone kept giving me confused looks and asked me what was on my hand haha.

Thursday evening Colleen came over for a fun night of cooking and watching the Hobbit! We made shepherd's pie which turned out delicious! The Hobbit was a great movie too. I'm so behind on my movies and that was definitely one I had on my must watch list. I read the Hobbit back in middle school so I vaguely remembered the story. It seemed like the movie was really accurate to the book. I highly recommend it!

Tonight Jonathan and I went out for barbeque and walked around the Heights area. They have a nice jogging path with art and memorials along the walk. Plus all the houses are gorgeous! We were picking out our favorites and dreaming about our dream house. The rest of our weekend will be pretty low-key. We're getting together with Jonathan's parents tomorrow to celebrate a late mother's day. We're going to a Brazilian steakhouse. All you can eat meat, YUM!

| Pretty art in the heights! and pretty houses! |

Shout out to my cousins who graduated this week and my uncle Tom who will be nifty fifty in a few days!
