March Update

#6- Learn basic conversational Greek.

An old friend of mine hooked me up with Rosetta Stone and I spent my time with the flu starting my Greek lessons.  What have I learned?  I can say that people are swimming, eating, drinking, reading, and cooking.  I can identify about 6 colors.  Need your food identified?  I can tell you what it is as long as it's bread, an apple, milk, water, and rice.  Billy pointed out that he rarely has the need to say "the girl is swimming" or " the boy is running."  Hey, you've got to start somewhere....

#15- Buy a nice telephoto lens.

A telephoto lens would have been great, but I decided I need a wide angle lens more.  I'm still checking this item off of my list because I basically just wanted a lens for my upcoming weddings that would make me feel better about capturing shots.  The lens is huge.  The bigger the lens, the more of a BA I feel...

This pic was taken with the lens.  Blogger will probably ruin the quality when I post though...


#54- Visit and spend the night in Asheville.

A-m-a-z-i-n-g weekend :)  We hit up Salsas and French Broad Chocolate Lounge on Friday.  Saturday we visited Biltmore and toured the house, toured the winery, and did a wine tasting.  At night, we dined on pizza and garlic knots at Asheville Pizza and Brewing.  Then, we headed to the Grove Park Inn for drinks and Elaine's Dueling Piano Bar.  The entertainment was sooo much fun.  On Sunday, we ate at Tupelo Honey... yummmm!



#30- Learn to tie a tie.

It took me about 5 minutes to learn... easiest item on the list!


#38- Send Billy a postcard for every day in February... done!
