A couple milestones were reached this weekend.# 1: Mark and I bought our first pets! We are now the proud owners of four blood-fin tetras, three tiger barbs, and one algae-eater. Yep, after a couple of trips to Petco, we have a fully functioning fish tank! We only named one fish--the algae-eater--because the other 7 can't really be distinguished from one another. So we have Stanley, who might be a bit depressed (he doesn't do much besides hide out in the rocks or stick to the sides of the tank), and seven other tiny, but spirited fish.
Milestone #2: We hosted our first official party! Well, not sure if nine people makes a party, but let's just call it for the heck of it. Unfortunately, Mark had already left for New Orleans by the time people started to arrive, but he was very helpful in getting the apartment ship-shape for the big event. It was the most people ever in our place at one time, and we had plenty of food to munch on and drinks to down while we watched the Oscars. Special guests included Corinne and Adam, who stayed until (almost) the bitter end of the show before traveling back to D.C.
Pictures of the fish and the weekend--including some of Lonnie who was also in town for a visit--are below.
