Life in the fast lane.

Guess what, guys.

While I took my sweet time writing these Spain recaps, life kept on truckin' and a lot more things happened. I mean, a lot. Wheat and I just got home from a dreamy weekend trip to Denver, but before I launch into that, here is a quick recap of the last couple months.

Jenn took me to Columbus to see My Favorite Murder live. For those who don't know, MFM is a podcast where two comedians (Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstark) tell true crime/murder stories to each other. Somehow, Jenn lucked into tickets in the second row(!) and we had an absolute blast listening to them discuss the "Angel of Death" Donald Harvey and the Circleville Letter Writer at the Palace Theater. We also used the trip as an opportunity to see TJ and Tasha, get Jeni's ice cream, and meet Todd for delicious pizza at Paulie Gee's. Dream scenario.

Wheat and I celebrated Valentine's Day at White Castle. When every day feels like Valentine's Day, it's not a big deal how you celebrate. So this year, we made reservations at White Castle and it might just become an annual tradition. Every booth in the dimly lit dining room had a tablecloth, fake candle, and flowers. Waiters actually took your order at the table from menus with specialty items like chocolate-covered strawberry shakes. Our food was served with silverware and the bill came out in a Valentine's Day card signed by the staff. Perfectly cheesy.

Plays and events galore. In the last couple months, Wheat and I have seen Beautiful: The Carole King Musical at Clowes Memorial Hall, Les Miserables at the Murat, and a moderated conversation with my queen Michelle Obama at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. All were incredible - need I say more?

We spent a couple wonderful weekends in Ohio during which I had an amazing girls' night in Over-the-Rhine with Jamie, Jenn, Elizabeth, and Kelly. We had alcoholic ice cream at Buzzed Bull Creamery, played some video games at 16 Bit, ate amazing gourmet hot dogs at Senate (the one below is the Lindsay Lohan), and played Yahtzee at Rook. My heart feels so full when I spend time with those girls. We also babysat Scarlett and got lunch at Little River Cafe with my mom and brother.

We took a quick trip to Nashville to see Wheat's parents...and by quick, I mean 24 hours. We stayed with some family friends, attended some other family friends' party, checked out the 12South neighborhood, and ate some barbecue, of course.

...and other things, too. The Eagles won the Super Bowl and March Madness broke our hearts and brackets. Jenn and Kenzie stayed the night with us on their way to St. Louis and we got pedicures and played the Sims. The weather pretended to warm up, then snowed, then warmed up, then snowed. Music competition reality shows nearly drove me into the ground with the return of The Voice and American Idol. Wheat and I met Jason Douglas (Tobin from The Walking Dead) at an Indy Fuel hockey game and he gave us a restaurant suggestion for our trip to Atlanta this summer.

It's been a lot, but it's also been really, really good. I hope this life never slows down.
